Wow. Sam’s recent podcast with Ezra Klein is really an amazing debate. I’m really conflicted as I like them both.

It was not a debate. Ezra spewed false facts and stupid conclusions.

Ezra's thinking is short and shallow.

I did agree with some of Ezra’s criticisms of Sam and a great sum of them I had never even thought of. So it was nice to shine a light on those, but I feel like Ezra just danced around the conversation the whole time otherwise and would only answer with criticisms instead of actually addressing the subject. I think Sam was the only one trying to have a conversation about the actual issue and Ezra just wasn’t even able to enter the conversation.

I know it will sound silly, but Sam is correct in all he has said and written. he is genuine.

Ezra is an entertainer. Like Rush, and MIlo.

Agreed. They are both talented debaters yet it did feel that Ezra was having to do word gymnastics to avoid evidence and facts. I understand that it's a dangerous position to say that there is ANY genetic difference between groups as it undermines the ability to say that any differences in outcomes is due entirely to external causes (e.g., racism). I prefer to face facts and data impartially and deal with the results of them instead of denying the evidence. There is, however, a justifiable fear that racists groups will misconstrue the facts and use them to foster more racism. However, ignoring the facts also leads to more racial hostilities and witch hunting. Just some thoughts.
