It seems to be something about stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain which in the case of politics and cults doesn't seem to be the case except maybe in a more highly complex route. Maybe I don't get all these explanations because I don't seem to be susceptible to addiction. I tried nicotine, alcohol and marijuana when I was young; I just didn't get it and still don't. Smoking was horribly uncomfortable and screamed "stop!" no matter how much I tried. Alcohol was totally distasteful no matter how I tried to acquire the taste and left me with horrendous migraine headaches. Marijuana I found to be just stupid. None of these experiences brought me any pleasure at all, just pain and discomfort. I did have a mild sense of addiction when I got off caffeine; it was quite a surprise to me. I had to wrestle with stopping a life long habit. So, serious addition must be true hell.

Don't look at your loss relative to someone else, focus on your gain - but at the same time, don't accept epithets like "do nothing" or "lazy" or "a drain on society" when actually, they are, through shelters, loopholes, stinginess, graft, and greed.

face it: You just disagree. One thing I've noticed: conservatives are much more informed, do more research and have better, more honorable sources. libs tend to pull their news exclusively from television, usually the same stations day after day. So everything conservatives say sounds strange because the msm gives very limited information. So it cant hurt to actually enter into a convo and open yourself up to learn. Now, granted you dont have to accept everything said. But look at the alternative: You are probably taking the mainstream media at their word, even though you have no idea if they are giving honest news. (And often they have been shown to lie, misinform, and are totally biased.) So you dismiss your own peeps ...in favor of the mainstream media . Does that sound...fair to you? .Or smart? Ask questions. Ask them; Why did you come to that conclusion? Or Where can i get good information on this subject? Who's a good source of i(legal, medical, cultural) information?

One more thing - what i have learned about BO over the years was distasteful to me and since blacks love him so much I knew I had to be careful not to give people heart attacks with the truth. But then, he kept popping up everywhere (doing his shadow president thing) and i had to 'allude' to my mother and others that something is not quite right with him.(Still being careful) Outside the bubble of the mainstream media there is a lot of information available . A lot is credible and verifiable. Your relatives and friends were probably reacting to freely flowing information about him and his history. Since a person cant bear false witness against another person I have to be careful about what i say about him , HRC.or anyone. But trust me, where there is smoke...there's fire.

We know that seatbelts save lives...not all lives. Wearing a seatbelt is the law and when we’re not abiding we receive a citation and have to pay restitution even though we live in a free country. This does not take our freedom from us. The law is for the greater good of the people who unite in making these laws by people we elect to manage our freedom. If we simply allow our freedom to rule our country there will be no order or integrity. The United States of America represents the concept “United we stand, divided we fall.” It’s a choice...

Folks who are lucky enough to not have to go out (which includes a fair number of academics) don't really need to worry about facial hair making masks less effective. Also, if I could grow that sort of full on wolfman beard, even if only on 1/2 my face I would totally use the excuse to do so ;)

It's odd but when this thing started wearing a mask was almost suffocating. The way I got past that is to become an expert, to become good, at this new way of living. I try to make it a point to pick up a new face covering when I go out and pair the mask with what I'm wearing. I get compliments all the time on my masks, it's actually fun. Don't get me wrong I can't wait for it to end but it's not insufferable. Also I have a small child at home and work in a field with a high potential for exposure so I don't have a choice.

This country is so messed up. People think that freedom means that all behaviors are equally good. Well, there is no law against cheating on your girlfriend. Does that make it "good"?? Americans find any curtailment to be a massive affront. This is because they don't know what real oppression is. This is not simply because they've never experienced it; it's because they don't bother to learn about any other times and/or places. All they know is what is directly in front of their eyes. So many people are incapable of seeing with their mind. trump, especially with this pandemic has really opened my eyes to how ugly vast swaths of American truly is.

Very interesting interview. What an intelligent and articulate man.

Would I be willing to accept or tolerate a leader who would lie in order to combat global warming? The answer is yes and no. If the alternative is a candidate who doesn't believe that global warming is a problem, then I must choose the lesser of two evils. On the other hand, if the opposition does support fighting global warming, but in a truthful way, then they have my support. And this is the crux of the matter. The culture war between conservative and liberal ideology, the origin of today's identity politics, shifted from a cold to a hot conflict in 1968. In the 1960s the Republican Party devised the _Southern strategy,_ an appeal to conservative Southerners, traditionally Democrats, who opposed the Civil Rights movement and the dismantling of Jim Crow laws. During the 1968 National Conventions, ABC News broadcast a series of debates between William F. Buckley Jr. and Gore Vidal, which were extremely heated. The late 1960s and early 1970s pitted The Establishment against those who supported Civil Rights, Women's Liberation, and an end to the Vietnam War. To many Americans, the word _liberal_ became a pejorative. The Reagan administration's embracing of Fundamentalist Christians with Pat Robertson's Moral Majority, along with the breaking of the unions with the firing of 11000 air traffic controllers, shifted the Republican party much further to the right. Then came *Fox News.* By the 1990s, conservatives had lost the debate where the Culture War was concerned, but the propaganda machine was just beginning to kick into gear. The new focus of conservative enmity was the liberal elites in Hollywood, on university campuses, and in the boardrooms of corporate America. Conservative talk radio and Fox News decried political correctness, feminism, the atheist assault on religion, regulation of industry, increased globilization, and liberal intellectualism in general. Then came *9/11.* The response to the the terror attacks completed the polarization of America. No longer was it enough to be critical of the the President of the United States when he belonged to the other party, open hostility in a continuous firehose of derision, bolstered by the rise of the Internet, was now normal. Unfortunately for too many conservatives, they view the people on the other side as being morally corrupt and a danger to the very fabric of their country and their way of life. They feel that they have no choice but to vote for the candidate who represents their side, no matter what that person's flaws might be. Logic and facts no longer enter into the argument. Even though the reality is that the Republican party poses a greater threat to their welbeing and security, the propaganda machine has convinced them that a Democratic win represents certain doom. Unemployed and working poor people are voting directly against their own interests. Sadly, they are being betrayed by the Republican party and hearded over a cliff like so many buffalo being threatened with fire, but not realizing the fate that they will suffer if they continue to stampede.

Like how parents might bribe a small child with a treat if the child behaves while they are inside the grocery store.

2:00 that's why some professions have checklists. Accidents in industry often happen with seasoned workers precisely because of this. I keep some mental checks like "I should always be respectful", "I'm possibly wrong", "I'm probably wrong if the other opinion comes from a specialist respected by specialists on all sides" and "I totally agree with that guy: let me check his opinion twice so I avoid confirmation bias".

Super intelligent man!

This was a beautiful and honest assessment of our current political state. Just one thought or question about the susceptibility of people who believe in or accept political lies, is that people that are creative do not have to worry so much about a particular side being right or wrong. They have another hobby, so to speak, and can easily place themselves outside of a binary political system and see from multiple view points. I have seen this in the work place, as well. When you have people who do not have confidence in their own life outside of work, they seem to bring that into the work environment and really wrap themselves around being right and get frustrated when an outsider solves the problem. We have a self perpetuating cycle in politics of right and wrong, and our lives are never really right or wrong, and the ways to make them better are vast.

Excellent! Dan delivers once again!

Fascinating stuff. Thanks.

Great interview loved his insights

Low-probability events, I'm seeing how many other people are being hospitalized, getting lifelong conditions or dying and I don't want to be one of them, I don't want to be the one to give it to someone else to suffer with either, so I do what's needed to minimize the risk: social distance, wear mask & not touch face outside, wash hands first thing coming inside.

If govt. control of the people was the intention, why on earth would they ask the public to *wear* masks - thus making them more difficult to identify and control...

16:14 "Republicans voted for things that they cared about at the sacrifice of the truth. But now we are stuck with the value of truth being very low. What we need is a truth and reconciliation act." Powerful stuff!
