Aayan Hirsi Ali is a great lady too.

Kirk's most important lesson was that what is false cannot stand up to what is true in an honest discussion or open debate. So he took his message directly to young people. When he engaged honestly and respectfully with the woke, they exposed themselves to the world as the irrational and spiritually empty people they are.

An interesting review of Kirk's book.

Some of us conservatives are atheists. Morality doesn’t need religion for justification. Humans have evolved to know right from wrong. That’s why I don’t have much interest in what Charlie Kirk had to say. Much more interested in what Douglas Murray has to say.

Yes, I agree with you that you do not have to be a Christian or a religious person to be a conservative. Yes, I do share your interest in Douglas Murray's thought.

I find Gad Saad a bit too self aggrandizing and when I called him on that, relatively gently, he immediately blocked me. I do agree with a lot of what he says.

I got tired of Jorden Peterson and found him also too much in love with himself and was particularly disturbed by his rant about letting boys be boys and condemning all use of medications presumably for ADHD. Of course he apparently was taking a lot of meds himself and now claims he to be suffering the cognitive. Something doesn’t smell right.

Bari Weiss is great.

Good to know I’m not alone!

I also like Barri Weiss and find Jordan Peterson, Barri Weiss and Gad Saad very interesting thinkers. You probably like Matthew Goodwin too.
