Aella explains some very interesting data about porn and sex. "I asked men how much porn they watch and then I asked them to predict what things women would like in bed. And then I asked women, if a man tried this in bed, how much would you like it? Men who watched porn more were more accurate in their predictions about what women would like. The least accurate men were the guys who did not watch porn at all."

Warren Hern is America's most famous late term abortion doctor. Here's how he explained his work on my show. Thoughts? “Do you ever get any women in their second half of the second trimester or in the third trimester that say they have no medical problems. They just don't want the baby. They change their mind. Would you do it?” “Of course. If the woman doesn't want to be pregnant, there's no justification for forcing her to continue the pregnancy.” “Has that happened?” “It happens all the time. She has a potentially fatal illness condition that can kill her. No, no. I mean, if she has no medical problems—the medical problem is that she's pregnant.”

First time in a Waymo. Austin. First it went to the wrong hotel close by so had to reprogram the Uber app to go to the right hotel. Then instead of stopping at the lobby in continued on another 50 meters and stopped at the end of a driveway and wait for me there. Drive was fine

"I worked for the Speaker of the House. I worked for the President of the United States. One of the things you learn in those jobs is that ultimately no one is fully in charge of anything, and the world is very, very complex. I would read in the Washington Post how Republican leaders had all these plans and they were going to pull things this way or that way. And then I'd get to work and to say that no one had a plan would be a gross understatement. No one had any idea what was going to happen that afternoon. The idea that in a free society somebody is pulling the strings and someone has a nine-step plan and you're just a pawn in it is just very, very implausible. Our society doesn't really work that way. Our elites now are not ultra-competent. You can say a lot of things about them, but I would not say that we have ultra-competent leaders of any institution. I can see the appeal of wanting to believe that it's all a false flag or a plan. But when you actually see the system work—it's both good news and bad news—but nobody's in charge of everything."

My new book Truth: What It Is, How to Find It, and Why It Still Matters is OUT NOW! Here’s a little preview of how we confuse: -meaning with reality -stories with facts -confidence with correctness + why “just asking questions” isn’t as innocent as it sounds.

Why God does not exist. My best arguments against the proposition that God does exist, at the Oxford Union Society debate. (I know, you can't prove a negative, but there is substantial positive evidence that humans created the God concept, which I present here.)
