I will tell the truth, I cant hold myself from dancing VIOLENTLY in the house when hearing that intro beat 4:51

I love that he is talking about all the nuance involved in conversations on race. This is what we need.

Sean, I am a big fan and have read your books and followed your lectures and podcasts for a long while. You conversation with Professor Graham is one of the best discussions I have heard in quite a while. He's a very subtle and interesting thinker and as always, you rock.

Speech is violence? Agreed. I'm deeply hurt by the idea that speech could be violence - it should be illegal to say that speech is violence.

Lately there was a streak of really interesting guests and nuanced ideas. Good work Sean

Great episode. I love that you keep the focus of this show very broad. Otherwise, I think I would get bored.

Sean denies existence of Cancel Culture, while the whole time tip toeing on thin ice and distancing himself from any solid ideas that are controversial.

11:02 I think these are the most important sentences that Roderick ever spoke - a very good summary of what sociology is compared to the natural (actual) sciences: "a little goo-y and icky, very imprecise. can't put it in numbers, but it is important" (to him).

Cheers, Sean.

I disagree on so many levels. You and Graham had a very respectful and interesting conversation, but I disagree on so many points. Saying MGTOW inevitably leads to women hating is ridiculous. It certainly can, but in the same way only listening to Fox News COULD make you think that racism doesn't exist or only listening to CNN COULD make you think someone's automatically racist if they voted for Trump. YOU need to TRY to think critically and have the DESIRE to not fall into these group think traps. I'm not down w/ this silencing voices bs, unless you're calling for the death of a certain group of people or ACTUAL violence against people...leave them be and let them speak. What neither of you are acknowledging is that conservative voices are far more often targeted and cancelled because the media is overwhelmingly dominated by PC woketavists. If it was the other way around I'm sure a lot more people would suddenly become free speech advocates. Words ARE NOT violence. Bc we younger generations feel that way doesn''t mean it should be accepted. The definition of violence has worryingly changed to include words bc we are a coddled generation looking for problems and losing a sense of meaning in this technological and social media age. As for bullying, the onus is on the one being bullied to turn off their phone, let maliciousness roll of ur back, and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. It's somehow now taboo to promote fighting back it someone is even physically assaulting. That's not to say that bullied kids don't need support systems, but the world is cruel and telling the bullies to stop bullying shows parallels to our tendencies to just silence dissenters. It symbolic and superficial action that doesn't actually treat the real issue and actually exacerbates it. It's not actually helpful. We also fail to acknowledge that we are ANIMALS subject to evolutionary biology and are ill equipped to navigate this brave new world. It's a thin veil of culture and civilization we wear, so I'd say it's a miracle and hopeful that we've even done as well as we have. EVERYONE has their prejudices. As for privilege, if you are American you are ridiculously privileged compared to the rest of the world. That's something I think we don't talk about enough. So much grieving and not enough GRATEFULNESS for what we do have. Being grateful has been scientifically proven to be key to mental health, even in the face of horrors, so getting absorbed in perpetual victimhood thinking is the antithesis of happiness and mental health.

Everyone dancing around cultural differences that are the real issue behind racism here. The cultural differences are not bound by race, in my opinion it is very class based and localized. What you have with the racial equality movement is a heap of its supporters looking for help. Nobody wants to tell them that the way they are, their culture, is what is keeping them from "success" in today's culture. Which has been exacerbated by social media and molded by group mentality.

Both of these fellows have some smooth voices

Just wanted to state that I gave this a thumbs down not for any of the reasons one might think from this discussion. It was mostly a good discussion, but when it became readily apparent that he has a serious blind spot when it comes to Christianity, and in particular it's negative effects on the African American community, I have to question the blind spots he permits in the other avenues of his research as well. This wouldn't be as big of a deal if not for the fact that his area of research has direct consequences to this issue.

Thanks for this new episode!

Informative .

Well, I for one, am offended.

I would love to see a podcast concerning AI from a transhumanist perspective. Edit* Specifically how individuals may benefit from romantic relationships (even sexual) with AI.

What is wrong with being racist?

Podcasts have existed for 20 years. The BBC had a podcast in 2001

I will defend to the death a citizen's right to call prostitution "sex work", however this does not mean young girls should not be distanced from this framing (as far away as humanely possible). No little girl grows up wanting to be a prostitute. All women involved in this activity have been sexually abused/used; whether through sexual assault, being taken advantage of, child abuse, manipulated into self-objectification (compromising their dignity/innocence as a long-term partner and therefore generating commitment to their abuse state), conditioned into sexualisation by the advertising of arbitrary products (mimetics), have experienced opportunistic short-term male reproductive strategy (misinterpreting adoration of their fertility as love) in what they thought was a mutual (genetically cointerested) relationship, have mental abnormalities, etc. The current state of the psychological research on this topic is poor/lacking because of the ideologically biased social sciences and the sensitive nature of the evolution of sexual desire/reproductive strategy. Research the Nordic model.
