@Sethrogen Thanks for watching. Many young people are socialists when they are driven by immature impulses of utopia. They then grow up. You are a grown man with tons of money. Your current stances are rooted in vacuous empty signalling rooted in a desire to belong in Hollywood. It takes
@Sethrogen zero courage to hold your stances within the entertainment ecosystem. You espouse bullshit rhetoric that wins you points at the cool kids' parties but you are otherwise as ignorant as my out-of-order toaster. I'd be happy to chat with you on my show as you have a very large
@Sethrogen platform and as such you have the opportunity to actually make a difference. Stop succumbing to the herd mindset. Learn how to think critically. Learn the meaning and implications of socialism vs. capitalism. You are among the MOST privileged people in the history of humanity.
@Sethrogen And yet you walk around as though you are a Che Guevara revolutionary. You are the product of capitalism. If you are such a socialist, send me some of your money. I'm trying to build an interdisciplinary research institute.
@Sethrogen Live out your convictions. If you are a socialist, you have no business being the beneficiary of the most capitalist industry in the most capitalist country in the history of humanity. Don't be a hypocritical fraud. Cheers amigo.

@Sethrogen Beg them, no Sugar. I offered for you to come on my show because you do have a large platform from which you can do great things. I am epistemologically well-calibrated. I know what I know and what I don't know. I am sure that there are tons of things that you can teach me.
@Sethrogen Similarly, I am certain that there are many topics on which you might learn from me. I have spent my career on academia so I know one or two things but I'm always happy to engage people from all walks of life. I appreciate your movies. You have great talent but you should
@Sethrogen be humble enough to be willing to engage folks who do not share your utopian hypocrisy. A wealthy rich actor who proclaims that he is a socialist is a naturally lobotomized schmuck. I'm happy to educate you in the same way that I'm delighted when you entertain me. Follow or

Let me explain yet again the source for all of the platitudinous virtue signalling. The truly privileged elites know that deep down they are frauds. They suffer from existential guilt. Hence, one of the ways by which they assuage the guilt albatross around their necks is to
demonstrate to the world that they are truly compassionate, truly loving, truly caring, truly profound. Hence, they love all "undocumented" immigrants. They love Mother Earth. They love the ozone layer. They love BLM. They love socialism. They love inner cities. They hate
the gentrification of neighbourhoods. They love mentors of color. They cherish diversity. They love LGBTQ movies. They adore queer architecture. They are better than you. More caring, more cultured, more empathetic. This permits them to sleep better at night. See, I'm not a

I have never thought that I'm the first at anything based on my ethnic, racial, or religious identity. I have never celebrated someone's "first mover" success because they happen to share my ethnic, racial, or religious identity. It is so grotesque and contrary to the spirit of
individual dignity to see the orgiastic display of identity politics that has gripped the zeitgeist. EVERY story is about the first [fill-in the BS tribal membership] to do something. Well, I'm the FIRST Lebanese Jew to have pioneered the field of evolutionary consumption.
I'm also the FIRST Lebanese Jew to have contributed to the field of evolutionary psychology. I'm also the FIRST Lebanese Jew to be a globally known professor. I'm also the best Lebanese Jewish soccer player of all-time. I'm also the FIRST Lebanese Jew to be married to

As a long-time admirer of @AOC, I am astounding by her courage at having faced certain death on so many occasions (as a @TheDemocrats), and yet she remains resolute in fighting against the domestic terrorists and white supremacists (aka the @GOP). Thank you Occasional Cortex.
Some whiners might argue that fleeing genocidal hate in the Middle East is harrowing but it's NOTHING compared to you having to face the Viking Vegan activist who headed the military coup. You definitely are not trying to garner empathy via a grotesque & transparent form
of orgiastic Munchausen. You are bright, courageous, knowledgeable, and you know, not white. All great markers for a bright future career.

I downloaded @DrBiden's dissertation and took a quick look at it. While I did not read every word of it, I read enough of it to arrive to the following conclusions:

It is dreadfully weak in terms of a worthy contribution to human knowledge for several independent reasons. It
is nothing more than a case study of a particular institution using very basic surveys that otherwise do NOT demonstrate an underlying general phenomenon. It is VOID of any hypothesis testing & VOID of any statistical inferential testing. In other words, it is nothing more than
a tallying of descriptive stats that would cause me to FAIL students conducting a research project in my undergraduate classes. I can assure you that the rigor of my class projects be it the tackled phenomena &/or analytic sophistication is substantially higher than Dr. Biden's

I'm no fan of the Biden family but @DrBiden was indeed disrespected by the reporter in question regarding her title. This should not be something that requires explaining in the 21st century but a lot of people seem confused. So here we go: The title of "doctor" is NOT
synonymous with being a physician. As a matter of fact, the title was first used by folks holding doctorates (e.g., doctors of the church and other academics) before eventually being used by medical doctors. The word comes from "docere" (to teach). The MD degree is considered
to be an undergraduate degree (even though it is a professional degree that is typically conferred after one obtains another bachelor's degree). For example, the MD degree in many other countries is the MBBS (BACHELOR of medicine). During the protocol of convocations, medical
