He has a clear way of speaking that is a joy to listen to.

I began with Jordan Peterson. Worked my way through a Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Larry Elder, Walter E Williams, (many others along these lines) and now VDH. What a wealth of intellects I’d never known until recent 2 years or so!

Sheila Bright Jordan Peterson serves to provide nuance, no matter how ideological you are, he will crack it in some subtle way. That's why the leftists prefer to scream at him rather than learn something, their whole worldview may collapse.

It’s called ‘wisdom’,. Honey

@@fernandojpalomo5575 nah, he's just physicaly exhausted from plowing the rough terrain of central California

Wrong. He claims that human nature does not change, which is correct

What about the Yalta Conference?

"Carnage and Culture" is rubbish. It's full of wishful/fanciful thinking the likes of Hollywood or Nazi historical narrative. It can only teach kids to make mental errors, because they feel right.

I have his book on Sparta. The best.

tchuncly Before you criticise someone of the stature of Hanson, you may want to brush up on your spelling

Because that would make you happy and we can't have _that_ ...

Facade19 tribal...

Yes, saddam was a great man 😂

@@lowrydan111 no, he wasn't as we both know, but the invasion was an act of criminality, utterly lawless

Spartan-Surfer USA is the biggest producer per day today, also American companies didn’t get any contracts (or few) from Iraq oil fields. So what’s the next theory?

I guess you do not use energy in your tech-heavy western therapeutic life

Ι΄m also disappointed with the way that dr Hanson analyse the Iraqi war. He idealize an invasion, using as argument the intention of the «democratic» USA to save the Iraqis from a dictator… I expected an interesting discussion about the Peloponnesian war and I lost my time listening to Bush, through Dr. Hanson. Ἀπογοητευτικότατη ἡ προσέγγισι τοῦ δόκτωρος Χάνσον σχετικῶς μὲ τὴν εἰσβολὴ τῶν Η.Π.Α. στὸ Ἰράκ. Ἡ δὲ συσχέτιση στὴν ἀρχὴ τῆς ὁμιλίας μὲ τὸν Πελοποννησιακὸ Πόλεμο εἶναι ἄστοχη, διότι αὐτὸς ἦταν ἐμφύλιος.

William Peterson don’t forget. This interview is from 2006, a full decade plus ago. The ramifications of the Iraq war was not yet fully known. Or at least it’s was not as clear as it is for us today. Also MR Hanson did a fine job promoting his book on the Peloponnesian war in other interviews and discussions. This discussion was frankly the fault of the interviewer who lost sight of the purpose for the interview, which was his new book.

@@garbonomics No excuse -- I knew (as did anyone who did a few hours of research) in 2006, and before we ever invaded Iraq, that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq was not Fundamentalist; did not have Sharia Law; was not even anti-American. Regardless of the fact that Sadam was a fascist thug - he was a secular thug -- and Iraq was a modern Middle Eastern country, like Syria -- they had liquor stores, women had equal rights -- women were attending universities and working as doctors, etc., and all religions were permitted. I know Iraqis. There was no Taliban in Iraq. AFTER we invaded Iraq and destroyed the country, of course, terrorism mushroomed and Fundamentalist Islam sprang up in response to our total destruction of their country. I am completely opposed to Sharia law and fundamentalist Islam, but Iraq WAS not our enemy and what we did there was pure evil. Of course it was about oi, the trillions made by corporate war-racketeers, and our plan to destroy the Middle East. If we wanted a religious war against fundamentalist Islam, we would have invaded Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. There were Saudis on the planes on 9/11 -- no Iraqis and no Afghanis. I was a fan of Hanson's -- but I am shocked at his bizarre and misinformed view of the Iraq invasion and occupation.

Unfortunately the Iraqis fought amongst each other, soon after they were given a once in lifetime chance to work together, create a democratic state. Instead they killed, murdered and took revenge after Saddam was deposed.

Yes. Thank God
