    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but listening (really listening) to nonsense such as this young girl was spouting IS the problem, not the solution. It's virtue signaling as much as these SJW's. The presupposition that it's right or virtuous to really listen is exactly what is being exploited to tip the power scales to imbalance. In this scenario one person is a Yale professor who has been selected from a pool of intelligent candidates as one to provide students an excellent education. The other a kid who may be smart (even smarter than some), but certainly not as accomplished as the professor. This is inherent in the college system, that someone with more information/understanding will teach you to be better informed and to have a better understanding. Why else pay so much money for an education? Therefore, right from the start, inherently, it is she who should be listening, really listening, to him. Acting otherwise hurts everyone involved. If we really care about the next generation we need to practice some tough love and not listen when they are not saying anything of value.

    I wonder how Cristakis defines “good.” I’ll have to check out his book. Dave and co., this program is always a breath of fresh air in that the listeners can always get an understanding of one person’s perspective, regardless of their own views. It’s vital to a well functioning society. The student in the video really demonstrates the dehumanizing behavior we’re seeing everywhere. There was many a prescient scholar and philosopher who predicted that legalized abortion would lead to this.

Give them a refund of their parent's money and send them home with no supper. When they grow up and are able to interact with others they can come back. Also, student's who break the law of the land or the universities should be punished, not coddled or given a pass by the administration. If the're aren't consequences the bad behavior is only being reinforced and encouraged.

    My impression of Christakis is he got ambushed, tried to calm the situation down, but didn't realize what he was dealing with. He's like every Admiral on the Orville show. Tries to negotiate as soon as possible because getting along is better than dominance, which is not how the Iterated Prisoner's dilemma works. Now, I'm willing to cut him some slack with that event since he was clearly ambushed and didn't know how to handle a confrontation, but now, there's no excuse. The best way to deal with these people is to punish them whenever they cause trouble, whether it's lawsuits (e.g. Meyer v. Waid, Mignogna v. Funimation et al.), boycotting agenda-driven movies, and voting Trump. The fact is, Trump is the single most dangerous person to the Left and for that reason alone, deserves our support.

    I had an near civil argument with a woman on the side of the street. She had a poster protesting and tried to shame me into supporting abortion. I declined and she followed me down the street. She tried to shame be by publicly calling me "evil" for not supporting abortion. I asked her to define evil. I followed up, Some one whom abuse innocents for their selfish needs. Someone whom is dishonest along with other gruesome traits to convince others to abuse people. I asked her does that include supporting killing innocents and defending the life of other gruesome killers. When women are pregnant do they call their babies "a Clump of cells", No They say "I am having a baby". I asked her does she supports the death penalty? No. How about defending evil people? No, She added. She said she abhor gross dishonesty. I told her Re-framing things is dishonesty and she is grossly dishonest with me. She felt insulted. I told her like her I too abhor the death Penalty, yet you support the massive death penalty of millions of innocent babies every year and reframe it as abortions to hide your shame? What horrendous crimes babies commit, that the most violent murders did, yet you want the gruesome murders alive and not innocent babies? I told her while she put herself in massive cognitive dissonance rage shock. What crimes did innocent babies do to deserves to be killed? Her response was they are a clumps of cells. I told her we are ALL a massive clumps of cells and like you the NAZI redefine the Jews to be subhuman not wordy to be kept alive. So what is your argument in support of killing babies? She mumbled, then roar into a scream and walked off raging with incomprehensible words. I told her as she walked away "Who is the evil one now?" and walked away myself.

    Mr. Christakis - you had me right up to the 36 minute mark. "Or the *guns* ! We, we, we, we have more who are killed by guns in our society than any society in the world...almost." Ok, its incumbent to you to listen to how stupid that statistic is. The US, arguably one of the _few_ countries in which *law abiding citizens* are _not_ deprived of the right to purchase and maintain firearms, ranks tenth in death by firearms including accidental death and suicide (accidents and suicide account for *more than 50%* of gun related deaths). By comparison, the US was *sixth* in traffic fatalities last year behind China, India, Indonesia, Brasil and Nigeria. But you wouldn't suggest that Americans "do something" (give up firearms) because _you_ (personally) see cars as useful (or do you, as a climate change leftist?). So in your expert opinion as a leftist, something must be done. On the other hand, some of us see the 2d Amendment just as vital to all other freedoms as you (and I) embrace the 1st Amendment. If only law abiding citizens owned guns, deaths would arguably be great minimized - the problem is the left doesn't enforce the gun laws already on the books. That is why cities with the highest murder rates in the US have the strictest gun laws and keep piling on more. In the US cities with the highest gun related deaths last year only 2 of the top 20 were run by republicans. Ponder these stats before running your mouth. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution are amazing documents, each right carefully balance and intricately woven into incredible way of life that has kept this country going for 200 years - tinker with it at your peril. I enjoyed the rest of the conversation, but that one issue - you need to do more research and thinking before speaking on that topic.

    Human biology has developed when we were small groups of ethnically homogeneous nomadic hunters-gathers and used to live in a non mercantile society, without any concept of money, property or accumulation of wealth. But now we live in an ethnically heterogeneous, sedentary and mercantile society. It's normal everything is up side down. The root of our problems is that competition leads to the fall of the prices, which mecanically means a constant loss of the profit margin of the companies. This system is unbalanced and cannot last eternally. We are always running behind economical growth, by reducing the production cost (through social dumping, relocation, automation, etc) and by increasing the sales (through programmed obsolescence, exportation, publicity, consumer credits, socialism, immigration, etc). Everything dysfunctional we do in our mercantile society is done to maintain the profit margins (the holy Growth of the GDP).

    For a guy who claims to be so concerned with open dialogue between ideologically opposed individuals, Rubin seems unwilling to actually confront the points of conflict with so-called lefties. He and Christakis run down a series of points (private prisons, gay marriage, legal pot) but never actually stop and dig into the places where they disagree. Ultimately, Rubin is just another part of the problem. In a way, he's an even more insidious part of the problem than the ideologues (Maddow/Carlson) because he tries to hold himself as an honest broker in the marketplace of ideas, yet he firmly entrenches himself on one side of the fence, and is unwilling to deal with difficult questions about the nature of the fence itself.

    Agreed. This guest is showing some rather interesting cognitive dissonance. He claims to be an empiricist, that he hangs out with he sciences, evolutionary biologists and the like. Says he doesn't believe in programs or ideas that activity go against human nature and biology. But then says he's all for immigration and multiculturalism. We have ingroup preference for a reason. Any evolutionary biologist can tell you that two sub groups of the same species don't occupy the same area for long. And what do you call the welfare state? Doesn't seem to be breeding particularly stable, intelligent, balanced and motivated people now does it? And then he goes into issues to which I would consider the smallest of small potatoes. Gun violence, and vehicle deaths...really? Drops in the bucket man. Very minor social issues, which is essentially all that's left in western societies. But the fact that multiculturalism is a lie, the dysgenics of the welfare state, the increasing gender divide, immigration replacing and displacing native populace's and badly skewing their electoral processes. But hey! Let's not talk the things actually crushing our society. Vehicle deaths...major problem...😩

    As a socialist I disagree with much of what these two guys say, but I appreciate that they are both intelligent and articulate, and open to a pluralistic society. I'm studying the history of liberalism as get a better idea of what it means to different people. Liberalism has a long history of being the ideology of the privileged elite. Classical liberals (Hobbes, Locke, Smith, Mills, Etc) were all anti-democratic because they feared the tyranny of the majority. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves all his life (and therein is a whole conversation). It is not *classical* liberals who oppose slavery, but the new liberals - the liberals who see the disasters that classical liberalism caused around the world. I think it is quite weird to see two essentially privileged white guys talking positively about liberty without any reference to the deeply illiberal and oppressive history of the USA. The expropriation of the land and genocide of the original owners just assumed to be glossed over and inconsequential. And in fact this is typical of liberalism. It has always led to inequitable solutions and tyranny. The elite use the language of liberty while oppressing minorities. Which is why a young black girl might be apoplectically angry in 2019 at a white man who shows no emotion and seems not to understand the history of the nation. America can be a land of opportunity, but only because all the land and all the resources were expropriated and developed by slave labour. Genocide, expropriation, and slavery are as much a part of the American story as libertarianism is (part of the story of the British Empire writ large). On the other hand I agree with Christakis that science contradicts the classical liberals (again Hobbes, Locke, Smith, and Mills) on the nature of humanity. They saw humanity as bellicose, aggressive, acquisitive, solitary, and selfish. No social species with those as primary characteristics could survive. Humans and all social animals evolved to err on the side of love, friendship, generosity, cooperation, teaching, and the other qualities that Christakis names as universal. And this *is* cause for optimism that is not found in the classical liberals (or in religion on the whole). So in that sense I don't see how Christakis can refer to himself as a classical liberal without a massive contradiction. Lastly, I must say I find the intolerance in the comments, all of which seem to relate to the clip used in the intro, really quite disturbing. Christakis himself argues for charity towards your enemy and exemplified that in deliberately not attacking his enemy personally. But comments are mostly demonising. It also seems that almost no one took the time to think about the ideas discussed and comment on those. An hour long discussion and no one has anything to say about it except to say they didn't like a passionate young black woman. If that is what people take away form this interview then I don't see much hope for America.

    The fact is neither the girl nor the professor are in a position to teach moral or ethical lessons, both subscribe to the initiation of force, violence, coercion and manipulation upon one group for the socioeconomic and Financial benefit of another, thus for obvious reasons neither is in a position to judge or teach any moral or ethical lessons to the other. If you took that scene and you put it in medieval time. There would have been a hanging or crucifixion, or some form of unjust barbaric murderous execution. Both these two individuals see themselves as entitled all within a delusional frame of reference that nurtures an elitist mentality. Oh what sickness of human spirit this display was, yet the most frightening part is that most of you won't even see it. And it is for that reason that makes you just as dangerous as the professor and the student. PS the sociologist guess would being intellectually dishonest on this premise of cooperation amongst societal members, there's a big difference between cooperation that is forced upon you through threats of violence, as the incentive for cooperation is founded and maintained today versus true voluntaristic cooperation without the element of coercion, manipulation and threats of violence. He does not make this distinction and it is the most Paramount point of the whole Paradox of the conversation. But after all the sociologist is being funded by the taxpayer oh, he is a burden on the taxpayer largely funded by government subsidies, the taxpayer oh, and so it makes sense that he keep the taxpayer in the dark about this very pertinent the most Paramount fact. And that's the sociologist has maintained the human Spirit sickening system alive, and quite successfully achieved with his crafty statistics, convenient data and half-truths. Quote the gentleman guest, he's doing the best to do his part LOL, he's certainly is.

    The USA had fewer problems with immigration when it had a leaky border with Mexico - before the mid 1970s. They would come for the fruit picking season, work hard, and then go home. They just wanted work, not to live in the US. But after Vietnam the US appointed a marine general as head of the US Immigration Service. He made the system more efficient and made it near impossible to go back and forth. Fruit growers still needed cheap labour to pick their crops and Mexicans still wanted jobs. So they started to migrate. And so the US made it more difficult still, and more of them migrated. Closed borders created a problem where none existed. Then kept making it worse. This is the problem with not knowing or understanding history.
