People out there love to trash Shapiro specifically because they know how good he is. That’s why he has a target. Everyone wants to be smarter than him, better at debate than him, more logical than him because they know he’s the highest standard and they hate they can’t back him into a corner.

Candace, Shulz, Cenk, etc. these people aren’t stupid. They’re very smart, usually highly educated, and probably have above average or even genius IQ. They just aren’t as good or as smart as Shapiro and it’s obvious. They talk shit because they’re used to being the smartest person in the room or at least the one getting the most attention and positive reinforcement from peers because they’re the main attraction of a podcast or show.

I don’t agree with this at all. Israel/Palestine is his strongest point. It’s the most difficult to digest though.

I think Ben’s weakest points are on gay marriage and religion. He’s gone from “I’m libertarian” on gay marriage to “it’s culturally bad and people should discourage it”. He also insists it’s a choice, which is a flawed argument. On religion he wants everyone to be religious because that’s going to bring community together. However it’s not practical - how do you get a bunch of people to just start believing in God for cultural benefit? It isn’t a practical pitch even if I agree with the point nor is it the point of Christianity: you don’t want people to believe for the benefit of the community, you want them to believe for the benefit of themselves (they get saved) and a by-product is a healthy community.

These are areas I think Ben has weak arguments. There are contradictions and counter arguments to all of his arguments though. He isn’t God. I just think the degree to which he’s wrong or contradictory in most of his philosophy is very low except for a few areas.
