  1. Cucks, cucking!!

    Brilliant speakers, but they have been sucked into the liberal sinkhole which destroy men’s souls.

  2. I watch Scotts periscope several times a week, if you want to understand the Trump phenom, he is the guy to listen to. Any right of center party in Canada that wants to gain power should be learning and mastering the perusavie techniques that Scott discusses and outlines in his books. Justin used a lot of these persuavive techniques with success in the last election campaign. Conservative thinking voters that cant believe how many people fell for JT’s hyperbolic campaign promises do not understand how master persuaders work their magic. It looks like in some instances Bernier is using some of the persuasion techniques expoused by Adams, albeit awkwardly in some cases.

  3. My take on Shapiro has always been that he likes to take contrary positions because it allows him to stand out in the crowd and validate how important and intelligent he thinks he is. Generally, his debate skills boil down to statistics. Numbers can be massaged. Numbers can lead you to form differing opinions as to what they represent. When you debate in public with statistics of which you are intimately familiar while your debate “opponent” is not…well, it’s easy to come out on top. You would think someone so focused on the numbers would be able to make a valid comparison between how Clinton would have governed as opposed to Trump and come away with the obvious conclusion. And, I think Shapiro is well aware of how successful Trump is. Unfortunately, his ego won’t allow him to admit it. Because, to take that step now invalidates his position to date…which is an admission of ignorance. The Shapiro types are never ignorant of anything. You can’t be ignorant if you know everything.

  4. This is the most cogent description of Ben Shapiro I’ve ever read. And explains why Shapiro drives me nuts. At heart he’s a Never Trumper who won’t and can’t let himself change as it would cause him to lose face.

    1. Shapiro refuses to support Trump because he thinks Trump is an anti-Semite, which is simply not true.

      Trump IS opposed to apostates like George Soros for whom the Law and the Prophets are empty words and who hate pious Jews and Christians as much as any jihadi. That’s not the same thing at all. Even Israelis increasingly recognize the apostates of the diaspora as a threat to the Jews.

      Pious Jews proudly support the greatest friend of the Jews to ever sit in the White House.

  5. There were thinkers that were quite out there in the far afield.

    Aristotle was made to drink hemlock because the rulers of the time did not like his ideas, he was a free thinker and they were not. His ideas, they may have felt, were probably just weird and threatening. Happened many times over the irreversible advance of time.

    Adams has ideas and weighs them, so far he has done a good job. That will end sooner or later. His ideas invites ridicule. His idea of an algorithm being the ruler is not all that out. It is though parallel to communism, though without an ideology. At least that is how it appears.
    The ultimate communist idea is that there will be no rulers and people will be just so ever happy to work and then they take only so much as they need. Of course this is an idea that people will turn into angels and that will be that.

    An algorithm will work out things without an ideology, though as Adams said, the algorithmists, (doesn’t that sound something like alchemists?), will have no idea what would come out as a result of their algorithism. Then they will tweak and tweak until they get the results they want. That will be the end of rule by algorithm. The tyranny of algorithmists will begin.

    You may have noticed that the bureaucracy works this way now, safety Nazis, global wormmongers, they have meeting and meetings and come up with rules that only they decide. Trudeau agrees, all the Liberals and socialist agree and rules are set. When one, anybody, objects, the response is, those are the rules, end of story.

    Interesting thoughts this here man, Adams has.

    1. It was Socrates who was made to drink hemlock, for corruption of youth, or so the charges said.

      Aristotle was the teacher of Alexander the Great. I assume his ideas were “liked” by that masterful ruler.

      One should always be careful about the facts when trying to appear erudite.

  6. Of course, you are right.
    Good to see there are erudite people here, would be lost otherwise.
    Read the dialogues many times over.
