As much as I disagree with Professor George, I appreciated this conversation so much -- that two people who disagree so profoundly can still have such tremendous (and obvious) respect for each other, simply as fellow human beings, without for that matter sacrificing faithfulness to their own respective beliefs. I was lucky to have been able to study with Dr. West while he was at Union Theological Seminary, and can with zero hesitation attest that he in every way embodies the values he teaches: beyond honesty, integrity, and decency, profound humility, generosity, gentleness, and childlike playfulness. I'm sure Professor George is the same.
Oh my word. I long for this. I long for friendship just like this someday. I long to become a professor, sitting in a room like this, across from a friend with a mutual history and shared memories just like these. I long for this.
Kristen Cray I couldn't agree more. I always wanted to have at least one friend that I can discuss issues that require a lot of reflection. Dispite only being a high school senior, Theology, Philosophy and Politics are all schools of thought that interest me and catch my attention. I love learning and understanding what different thinkers and philosophers had to say about how they view world, and I always to wanted to talk to someone about the great thinkers! I just wish I had friends that shares the same interest.
This conversation is horrendously boring I cant even make it more than 3 minutes at a time without wondering off. AND WHY ARE THEY SO AWKWARDLY INCHES AWAY FROM EACHOTHER. Anyone less than half an arm length away from me better should be putting out or getting put out.
The discussion of integrity reminded me of Tom Lehrer's song, Selling Out by providing a counter. Integrity gives one clarity and moral authority, and so one's integrity is not able to be given a monetary value. No matter the price assigned, the two are not commensurable: if one's morality is for hire, it loses its value since it is made common to any who pay instead of keeping its freedom to do what one believes to be right.
The end of this talk reminds me of a line in Casablanca (the movie of course) where Bogart says that he's "on the honor list" because Nazis have him on a list. Pride in resistance and the struggle that goes with it as it's own reward. An honor to be doing so.

they are close enough to make out. By the way the video just jumped into it without any context of what was going on and why made me question if I was watching adult swim.

The bromance is thick between these two. I love that their relationship is based on love and then bolstered by intellectual curiosity. Great stuff!
It's pretty adorable how much they respect and admire each other. Two beautiful people right there!
This is a great conversation.
Even better than I expected!

These Cats are the Coolest!
These are the teaching of Yogananda. It’s just that simple. These are fine, fine men.
There was some serious spiritual energy going on -- as always. God is glorious.
very informative :)

Robert George kind of ruined it after he said he supported Ted Cruz let me repeat that again Ted Cruz
this video was taken in 2017. at that time Ted Cruz was not that crazy.
