Please don't ever stop dragging Rubin.

IIRC the weinstein guy was annoyed at the day of black absence was for some reason turning into a compulsory white absence day by students & staff and he was 100% right to be upset about that. the point wasn't to make him feel bad about being white, it was telling him he was a racist if he didn't stay home or some shit, which most people would agree with. you guys grossly misrepresented this guy and were on dave rubin levels understanding the topic you're speaking about. I was starting to like this channel too and was about to subscribe but you guys can't act this smug and make such reckless mistakes.

Weinstein lied and mischaracterized what happened at that event. Fuck Wienstein. It wasn't a compulsory white absence day. It was an event that you signed up for and it was completely voluntary. White students interviewed afterwards who went to campus on that day because they had a lot of work to do said that they do not feel they were looked down upon, or punished for doing so. The actual video footage in which he was arguing with students happened during protests that were not all about him. There was a great deal of tension on campus over a few events, including one event where a black student had been arrested on campus. Weisntein was also not pushed out of his job, the school paid him and his wife a lot of money to leave. Weinstien is, quite frankly, a liar.

@@PatOnTheBack321 AAAAAAAAAAAAAND that is not what happened. Weinstein sent out an email before the event happened declaring it was a mandatory absence. It was not, it was a voluntary event. While some people were uncomfortable with his email and his mischaracterization, they did not protest it at the time. Furthermore, several white students and faculty who had work to do on that day showed up to campus, and have been on record that they never felt any fear of consequences for doing this, and that there were no consequences for them for doing this. Weinstein showed up on that day, and nothing happened. Weinstein was being protested, not because he showed up on the day of absence, but because he was behaving like an obtuse asshole and actively undermining the antiracist student grounp. Then, there were rising racial tensions on campus that were driven by a few events, including a case of some black students who were arrested in their dorms. And then when the protests happened, there was a confrontation, but it would not have been as bad as it was had there not been general rising tensions. The students were not upset over Weinsten showing up on the day of absence, they were upset over his mischaracterization of what happened, and his constant denial of the importance of their cause. Now, was the student group always right in their actions? No, but Weinsten behaved worse than them, and had way more power in the situation. He also did not get fired, as his narrative suggests. Weinstein inserted himself into the situation, made it worse, then went on Tucker Carlson and micharacterized what happened as being an attack against him as a white person, and he did not get fired, he sued the school and they paid him and his wife 500000 dollars to fuck off. And after Tucker Carlson, at least four faculty members of colour and allies had to quit, without being paid 500000 dollars, over conservative harassment directed towards them. Weinstein made the situation worse, actually profited off of it, and still cries about it online, even though he was not in the worst position.

He didn't quit just because he didn't like the "day of absence" thing. He sent out a mass email to other faculty and students saying he didn't like it, then a bunch of students (and some other professors) called him a racist because of this email, there were big protests, some people said they wanted the college to fire him, and according to Weinstein he had people sending him death threats and shit like that. So he quit because of what he described as a hostile work environment created by the controversy over this email he sent out about the "Day of Absence", not because of his objections to the event itself.

They completely missed the point of what Weinstein was saying. He was saying that most people will adopt ideas that are dictated by their social surroundings regardless of the truth. And the irony here, is that Nomiki is laughing here, when it's obvious she doesn't understand what Weinstein or even Sam is saying, but she already made up her mind that Weinstein is supposedly "right wing", not part of her clique and thus wrong. Therefore, she's being exactly the type of idiot Weinstein was describing without even realizing it.

Interesting how people don't understand the larger argument here! This whole grievance with the IDW simply started as a result of Sam Seder and the Majority Report pointing out that Dave Rubin is not an honest actor and his high level "ideas" are paid for! The IDW took that as an attack on the group and tried to discredit Sam Seder, but their defence of Dave Rubin is impossible! So we see a continuation of this argument play out over time with Seder's position remaining consistent and the IDW distancing themselves from Rubin as they now realize they can no longer defend Rubin and maintain their image!

As a freshman undergraduate, he wrote an open letter criticizing/standing-up to a fraternity (Zeta Beta Tau) at the University of Pennsylvania for mistreating women at their parties. Subsequently, there was retaliation and harassment to the degree that he had to transfer schools. To imply that such a person is somehow "right-wing" is laughable.

In this sense, publicly condemning a patriarchal structure in favor of women of color goes against the "Seder" depiction of what it means to be right wing as some type of insult. Furthermore, Brett himself describes himself as very left leaning and liberal (not leftist). If we as individuals don't have a say in describing our political affiliation at the end of the day, then who does? Am I allowed to call Sam right wing against his own self-perception as well?

Every single left leaning individual leaned towards Bernie or Elizabeth Warren this past primary (Andrew Yang was a prop who barely caused a ripple and no Leftists backed him up...don't even get me started on his infatuation with Dan Crenshaw). The reason we claim Bret and Eric to be of the right is because there is a long history of grifters claiming to be of the "left" and snuggling up with far right figures, pushing right wing talking points. This helps normalize and mainstream far-right talking points by showing a "civil" discussion with "someone on the left and someone on the right", despite all the talking points being right-wing and them not being challenged. As far as your claim that "right-wing is characterized by racist, homophobic, and misogynist members"...this is true of the current right.

This is certainly a plausible stance to take, however you offer no evidence. You simply offer the possibility of grifters claiming to be of the left. By default, if someone outright tells you their political stance, you need pretty strong evidence to claim "they are lying, that is not really their political stance." I'm not asking for loads and loads of data, but if you do claim that Brett is right-wing, please provide some evidence of things he has done or stances he has publicly taken that support this idea. If you don't happen to know the exact clip or link, that is fine, you can describe it. Just any examples of when/how Brett has taken right-wing stances or actions on something. As an aside, this is what I was attempting to do by giving the anecdote starting this thread: I gave an example of a recorded action that aligns with left-leaning principles, i.e. standing up to an organization that was harming women of color. I would like to see some examples of him doing right-wing stuff if you are accusing him of being right-wing.

I think "sociobiology," or applying concepts derived from evolution to human behavior, can be insightful. But it can also be overly reductive if pushed to far, or as an explanation for all patterns of human behavior. And it sometimes appears tautological, such as the assertion that institutions that persist over time must somehow be functional or serve some useful societal purpose (in an evolutionary sense). Jordan Peterson takes this position to extremes, when he claims the value of ancient myths / religion etc. He degenerates into a kind of Jungian mysticism, or so it seems to me. Many institutions and cultural practices that are clearly dysfunctional for the well-being of a group as a whole can certainly persist. That is just demonstrably true.

From what I recall the evergreen college scandal was an example of some far left college kids being given power and taking things to far. Weinstein feared for his fam's safety, and was pretty upset about the whole thing. I think it makes sense for him to suddenly dedicate alot of time and energy to something that destroyed his life and career upto that point. So if I recall I felt like MR was brushing him off as a racist when I don't think he is one. I do find it interesting how he panders to conservatives. I'm not well informed on the recent Brett Wienstein lore, lol, but I was interested in the evergreen scandal itself so I do not it was kinda serious and not about Brett being racist. I'm curious if he just doesn't notice how his believes are/were used to manufacture a false image of an evil leftist culture, or if he noticed and just sold out. Not sure how his views have shifted last couple years. The tough part for me is I'm pretty sure the evergreen thing happened, and it was an example of a leftist mob out of control. So the conservatives who try to portray progressives as all communist's mobs out of control love to share it. But does that make Brett wrong to share and complain about it, if he is genuine this is something that ruined his life, for a while. Clearly the evergreen issue isn't a huge systemic one, and has gotten way more media attention then it deserves because the conservatives love the story. Yet for Brett this is personal, not political. At this point I'm curious how many words a youtube comment can hold. The crux of the issue is that people can have serious grievances that matter to them, but that doesn't mean it reflects on what matters to society. What do you do if those grievances naturally align with the evil conservative agenda to portray progressive ideology as commie bastards out to destroy America.

Thus, what Weinstein is criticizing is largely what Seder does and he's right. That's why there's no substance here, Seder is the one with the unprincipled position. Also, this Weinstein brother is fairly progressive while the other is the opposite, yet you will find Seder paints them all with a right-wing brush, including Sam Harris who is quite liberal. Yet another example of Seder arguing his team's cause rather than principled positions. Seder is smart and holds good positions but he is not very principled or this video would not exist.

The critique, for you Weinstein stans who can't see passed your blinders, is that Bret is very self-important, and his analysis of the world and of politics/social issues stems from his self-characterization that he is open-minded and only concerned with intellectual debate, but the entire context of this bit is niche and personal and emphasizes anecdote.

@@robertr7563 I don't think they see the irony and I don't think they realise its a strawman, it's more just a result of not making an attempt to understand the other point of view, played out over many years getting a little more exagerrated each time, its hardwork to steelman and play devils advocate even when you want to, if you never do it, you are going to sort of stereotype other opinions and box them more and more to the point of absurdity. Evidence of this is firstly it is actually seen in some cirles as "bad" to play devils advocate, asking questions politely on somebodies held belief is "sea lioning", and that's actually considered to be a negative thing. So with that mindset, that brings me to my second piece of evidence, somebody commented on this thread that "you need to watch the show for years" and that its like "a class". That tells me that it relies on 'in jokes' and builds upon established assumptions, and also its viewers treat it as a sort of didactic message of truth, which is different relationship to the channel than you or I might have to something we watch. For example where I watch Bret Weinstein and am intreagued by his ideas, I might think his Unity 2020 sounds contrived, Or I will read the BBC news site article and see it has good scientific backing accept that, I will watch CNN, but then listen to Sam Harris who questions something on the news, but Pakman will make a response to that, watch that, and so on. And weigh it up, change my mind on issues, I think the crowd here, digest a diet of mainstream news, then watch these guys go over it with a 'comical' but ideologically identical slant. Other view points merely serve as a prop in this theatre.

Bret and his wife are evolutionary biologists. So when they talk about strategy it's not KZread/podcast strategy...I think you're highlighting more about your own world more than you're highlighting a limited vantage point in Weinstein.

Brett and Heather essentially talk about how they disagree with some stuff Rubin's doing, and that they know people who Rubin has attacked that they defend.

@Tain Sung Finding examples of hypocrisy and lying within "woke" politics is pretty much their main content across 40 or so podcasts. I'm not saying that every piece of evidence they present is without fault, but at the very least, they spend a good amount of time/effort attempting to find such evidence. Therefore, its not really fair to imply that because there is no evidence in the 3 minute clip presented, he doesn't back up the statement. He backs up that general idea a lot across their 40 or so podcasts. As far as the wuhan lab thing, he is positing a hypothesis about an event that happened. The idea that human beings' hypotheses might turn out to be incorrect is implicit, and I'm sure Brett would agree with that. There is no reason to politicize someone's hypothesis though, even if it turns out to be wrong. Being incorrect is not a damnable offense. To draw the conclusion that it COULD NOT POSSIBLY have come from the lab, using only the CCP's word, is definitely not a stronger argument. It is based on no evidence and transparently serves a political narrative.

Zimo Li I’m not sure which pod cast you mean. But I’ll answer Bret part. I think you missed my point a bit. They said it mostly lightly came from the lab in wuhan and it was no coincidence that the lab was in wuhan and it is 1 of only 2 labs in the world. But the oblivious reason the lab is there is because for years people saw this area as a area of interest for the SARS virus. I think yes it could have escaped from a lab. But they didn’t say that. My simple point is that he felt he was telling the truth when in fact he should have just said maybe it came from a lab. Anyway maybe he has changed his position but I was just using that as a example and I still really think he is not a bad person at all. In fact I think he is a really good interesting person.

I could go on all day with specific criticisms of either of them, but Sam is only ever inclined to quickly rattling off insulting mischaracterizations masquerading as "summaries" of their points of view, and lazy speculations about their motives. Sam is either too stupid to come up with a fairer reading, or he just doesn't really care about how fair he is because he thinks that they're wrong in the end (and can therefore be dismissed, smeared and ridiculed without regard to the merits or truth of that smearing and ridicule.)
