I still like Jordan Peterson, but the man just can't shut up and honour that brevity is often the soul of wit.
I watched his interview with Michael Shellenberger on his podcast for his two books Apocalypse Never and San Fransicko recently, about the false narratives around environmentalism and failed addictions policies in California.
Peterson couldn't help himself from continually interrupting his guest to inject his own biblical narrative psychological babble, talking for long periods of time without asking questions and really disrupting flow.
I watched Dave Rubin interview the same guest and the viewing was so much more of a lighter and flowing experience, where the guest talked and the interviewer made jokes and segues.
"In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 1:17-31
The same thing, with extra steps. As a bonus, a few might learn how to create and participate in a functional society and could be re-integrated, if they were not eaten by their fellow communists.
No chance, they would invade with heavy weapons within 96 hours of constructing their utopia for trying to undermine it.
The reason that The Chaz didn't try to violently conquer the rest of the city is because everyone was so fundamentally useless they couldn't manage to do it if they had tried.
We'd probably have an easier time building a GamerGate colony in the middle of Seattle.
Give them the Canary Islands, move out anyone who isn't a leftist beforehand. Do what their dumbass leader wants to do and bomb the volcano. Call it Survivor IRL. The normies can fund it with their monthly subscription.
If the unvaccinated were allowed to go off and do their own thing without interference from other larger society that'd be one thing. But of course we know that's not what would happen. It'd be "you can do your own thing" up until the point they actually do it, then it'd seamlessly switch to "how dare you do your own thing!"
I was a linguistics major in college years ago and we were fed plenty of Chomsky. He was wrong about a lot of those things too. The guy has always been half cracked.
There is a reason this is the ideology that Mussolini referenced in creating Fascism.
Let it be clear that Leftism is a Philosophy of War, and that it is impossible for any of them to be anti-Authoritarian. They just want to be the authoritarians.
Libertarian Socialists can eat shit and die, get on the helicopter.
No, comrade, you don't understand. We wouldn't form a government, we'd have an endless stream of councilmen and bureaucrats who would politically represent you; perpetually squabbling over inane minutia!
While the vaxxed's hearts gradually give out and die from the irreversible damage caused by their lord and savior, the vax, we Pure Bloods can create a new nation unbound by cuckery.
Commies love their gulags. He's old and close to death. You would think he's fear meeting his maker but being a commie is probably a godless bastard. Probably wants others isolated too so his old bag of bones won't get sick. Another old guy happy to screw younger generations to buy himself a few more years, potentially. Not that there's anything wrong with old people, just old commies.
I don't always seek medical opinions, but when I do I prefer going to a linguist professor. How more qualified than that can you get?
Im amazed his answer isnt behind the usual gate of a pedantic 20 minute answer to a yes/no question.

The irony is that God is simple. His ways are hardest to understand for the intellectuals.
"In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."
-- Luke 10:21
I love the irony of this translation making Jesus seem really wordy and obtuse.
That's a good one. I like this from Paul,
commies should isolated from society.... on an island with other commies.... with lots of cameras so we get to watch them build their "utopia"
my prediction would be cannibalism in less than 2 weeks then the few survivors die of infections, exposure, or eating something they shouldn't in 4

Chop/Chaz wasn't enough for you?
Give them the Canary Islands, move out anyone who isn't a leftist beforehand. Do what their dumbass leader wants to do and bomb the volcano. Call it Survivor IRL. The normies can fund it with their monthly subscription.
No surprises here, folks. It is exactly what you think it is.
If the unvaccinated were allowed to go off and do their own thing without interference from other larger society that'd be one thing. But of course we know that's not what would happen. It'd be "you can do your own thing" up until the point they actually do it, then it'd seamlessly switch to "how dare you do your own thing!"
"You do not fit in here" to "Why are you excluding us?" to "You do not fit in here."
Gatekeeping is the most important activity a civilization can practice.
He who fails to gatekeep will be locked outside the gates. - Machiavelli Tzu
Corollary: "the only people who complain about gatekeeping are those the gate was meant to keep out"

You're right. First it's "We need to isolate them!" Then it's "We need to exile them!" Finally it becomes "We need to find and eradicate them!"
Noam Chomsky should be isolated from having an opinion on anything other than linguistics.

Libertarian socialism is an oxymoron, you can’t have a limited government in charge of everything
No, comrade, you don't understand. We wouldn't form a government, we'd have an endless stream of councilmen and bureaucrats who would politically represent you; perpetually squabbling over inane minutia!
In what way is that a government?
We must put you in the gulags for your own safety comrade!
I don't know if that was intentional but it works.
The only thing worse than a communist...
is a communist spider.
He's absolutely right. I don't want to be part of the same society with Noam Chomsky and the other commies. Let's have a national divorce.
How very leftist of him
The headline misses the even more sinister part of his statement.
He posits that the unvaccinated should be FORCED to take the vaccine and STILL be isolated.
Clearly saying these people have wrong think, jail them, effectively.
Yes, the humane thing would be to isolate the unvaccinated in a place where they can concentrate.
A final solution could be to find a nice place like a large island where they could be isolated from the rest of the population.
Maybe Madagascar. it has nice weather.
Yes please.

Leftists are good at recognizing problems, but terrible at creating solutions.
Liberals often stare too long into the void.
