This is semantics, but I'm curious what you think of this Lotus Eaters talk and Sargon's recent tweet "Communism isn't separate from liberalism, imo." and the resulting slapfight with James Lindsay. Carl admitted he was exaggerating to trigger a debate, but Lindsay (who also makes good content) comes across as the unhinged extremist. Regardless of who is right, I thought it inspired some interesting conversation with the guest in this segment and they provided good starting points for further research.

I considered posting it for discussion but was too lazy to summarize the important quotes so I didn't bother. It amuses me how Carl has gradually changed his opinions and moved towards the right while people like Lindsay seem mired in ideology and refuse to yield any ground in their beliefs.
