Michael Dyson
Frustrating, seems to think the modern world is comparable to the 1950s. Keeps bringing identity politics into everything, seems to believe BLM progoganda. Throwing around words like "you're a mean white man" and dismissing Dr Peterson's views because of this just show how shallow Dyson's views are. I'm not sure he even wanted to debate the issues being presented by the moderator, as he used every topic as an excuse to moan about his imagined oppressions.
Michelle Goldberg
Not too egregious, she has more nuanced views than Dyson, but has her head in the left bloggosphere a bit too much. This is probably why she was clearly out of her depth. The LOL TRUMP joke near the beginning was eyerolling though.
Stephen Fry
More or less puts my politics into decent words - I'm right leaning but not by a huge amount, but in general the left has gotten "more left", making me seem "more right". In general he's a delight to listen to, be it when he's playing Reginald Jeeves or one of the Melchetts, or when he's talking politics.
Jordan Peterson
I agree with him on collectivism, people basing their views and who they associate with based on inconsequential aspects of ones birth rather than common views and circumstances is just a bit pointless and shortsighted. I also agree with him in that race getting dragged into conversations where it's not relevant just makes the other side look silly. I don't agree with him on every point he makes, such as gender relations, but he rationalises in a way that I can understand why he thinks that, rather than "I WAS OPPRESSED 300 YEARS AGO"
