Should I listen to #BariWeiss talk to three people who all want to make the military industrial complex more like Silicon Valley? She introduced the episode talking about how World War III was basically imminent. It's almost everything I hate rolled into one conversation. But if I avoid it, am I not shielding myself from their arguments that might change my mind? If I thought they were ignorant or stupid or I was sure not to learn anything, I wouldn't even consider wasting my time. Ugh.
Good stuff but you've gotta listen between the lines. #MelissaKearney keeps saying that the data argues for two parent households being the best way to raise kids, that the best way to ensure that is marriage and that it's clear that poverty is causing the decline in marriage. That social programs do help. But #BariWeiss wants her to say the problem is feminism. #Honestly
#BariWeiss claims to want to have difficult conversations on her podcast but I’m yet to hear her have on someone who strongly opposes #Israel and can do it well. Perhaps #NormanFinkelstein.
