Phil Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think for me it'd be the American author, philosopher, and neuroscientist Sam Harris. I find that I can listen to him speak, even on points I don't agree with him on, for hours on end and not even realize the time elapsed. Even multiple drinks in, I can't imagine he'd lose the mental faculties to keep the conversation engaging. Islam, artificial intelligence, religion, Trump, identity politics ? I actually don't think there'd be enough time in the evening to cover all the topics I'd love to hear him talk about in person like that. Without the "living" stipulation, my answer would shift to Hitchens for all the same reasons, except with Hitchens I think shit would get rowdy, because that dude loved the drink and had a really witty sense of humor.

Dunny Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Political Class: Mark Steyn and Nigel Forage at the same table. After their performance together at the Munk debates this year, I'm in love with both. I've devoured everything Steyn has written in the past six months and I need more. I think it would be impossible not to have fun with Farage. Athletic Class: John Gibbons. A philosophical Boomhauer. Probably be a rough morning.

Islam, artificial intelligence, religion, Trump, identity politics — I actually don't think there'd be enough time in the evening to cover all the topics I'd love to hear him talk about in person like that.

It would be so interesting to see where Hitchens sat for all of this insanity. Classical Liberal in every sense, despised the Clinton's in every way, way ahead of the curve there. He almost certainly would see Trump as a charlatan but more than anybody would have love to seen the death of this PC nonsense we're living in. Shame.

Phil Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 It would be so interesting to see where Hitchens sat for all of this insanity.

Especially the rise of "Islamaphobia" which he saw the introduction of before he died. He and his brother both warned of kowtowing to intolerance cultures in the name of tolerance, but it happened anyway. Based on your response above, I you'd probably really enjoy a conversation with Ben Shapiro, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I respect Ben Shapiro but I'm not a huge fan, his exit from Breitbart was pretty messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentosman42 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The Trumpgod. No but seriously, I would have to agree with Sam Harris. I find myself aligning with almost all of his ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
