    Excellent discussion. JP hardly interrupted DM's train of thought at all, and he was most attentive to the "rules" of polite conversation. I don't believe that I've ever heard DM and JP more in agreement than they were here. I was with them all the way.
    I'm not afraid of speaking up, but Idk what I'd do if confronted by a group of thuggish-looking men grabbing someone off the sidewalk, with the victim screaming. There's always the possibility/probability that the offenders are armed, and unless it's a verbal confrontation I'm a physical coward. All my power is in my speech. I might try to get others involved, but if there were no others around I'd probably just take pictures of all the people, the car, and the license plate, then leave the scene as surreptitiously as possible and call 9-1-1.

    The Judeo-Christian tradition is fundamentally predicated on the pursuit of truth. That’s why throughout Judeo-Christian history everyone was able to question church teachings and pursue scientific endeavours even if they contradicted scripture . . .
    That’s why after Constantine made Christianity the state religion of Rome in 300, everyone was concerned with pursuing truth and huge advances in medicine, natural science and philosophy were made over the course of the next millennium . . .

      Great sarcasm, but you’re conflating a lot of very different things. Your examples are about religious dogma. This has nothing to do with being fundamentally predicated on the search for truth, which is a spiritual endeavor. All religious systems in the context of the evolution of human thought are fundamentally predicated on the search for truth. It doesn’t mean they ever find the truth at any given period in history. We are groping in the darkness for ways forward, but make no mistake about, it is truth we are looking for.

      Science did not kick off in the Christian milieu until at least the 11th century. For the first thousand years of Christianity, as far as I've been able to find, there was not a single scientist operating in the Christian sphere. This calls into question the conceit common amongst Evangelicals, that there is some fundamental congruence between Christianity and science.

    @ 44:40 ok so this is what grinds my gears about Peterson interpretation of scripture: He forgets all about death. Let's say that we all carry our cross, in his sense, and bare up to the suffering in the world and take responsibility and finally produce this new Edon...let's say we do all of that. Every individual will lose what we have gained at death finally and irretrievably. The whole world will go down the maw of death at some point and then the human race as a whole loses what we gained. It will all have meant nothing in the end, not even a dream will survive to tell our sad and heroic story. It will all have been for nothing. There is a great deal of poetic pathos in that conception, but it will not do. He is simply on the road to nihilism and despair.

    41:30 Britain was the main buyer of cotton until the civil war. (Later on, India became a major producer of cotton for the UK.) They practically financed slavery in the American South by buying ~95% of their main product. British economic interests were aware of the fact that the slave population could sustain itself, not requiring any additional slaves being brought into the U.S.
    I'm not familiar with the argument, but I've read that fighting slavery was actually in line with British interests, since it prevented other powers from building up a slave population that would have been able to compete with the British - alligned systems of forced labor.
    Also, they really didn't care about their sailors. Those sailors in turn often practically were semi-slaves. They weren't treated as full British cititzens with all their rights. At times, young men were just fetched up around the port and forced to work on ships for extended periods of time. Not sure whether this was in this time period, but forcing foreigners to work on British ships was a thing too.
    Maybe we should just stick to the facts.

      ​@@tomtom21194 Long time since I wrote this. If my memory serves me right, the first paragraph I believe referred to a note at the end of "Americana: A 400-Year History of American Capitalism". (in the annotation/reference section of the book) So you have to get the book's version with all the annotations. It's largely an interesting book anyhow. Although I found that the later sections (about more recent times) were wider known and thus at least to me less interesting.
      I'm not entirely sure where I read the second thing. Possibly the same book or its annotations. Among the books that I read in the months prior to writing this post that have some thematic overlap are: The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad (Zakaria), Economic Facts and Fallacies (Sowell), The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It (Mounk), The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap (Baradaran). They all have their positives and negatives.
      The sailor thing is common knowledge. Have heard about this one quite a few times. Maybe you search for history of the British navy, or books that refer to what it was like to be in it. Also, books about US/UK conflicts from that time might refer to it, as the navy played a major role in them and often Americans were captured and forced to work on British ships back then.
      Here are a few more recommendations on economic history as well as economic case studies:
      Extreme Economies: Survival, Failure, Future - Lessons from the World’s Limits
