Here's another great example: The first thing Scott Adams says in an interview with Fox News is "Let me start by disavowing Donald Trump." Fox News titles the video "Why the 'Dilbert' creator is supporting Donald Trump" 1 minute and 10 seconds into the video he says the exact opposite! Unbelievable.

Can't wait for that video! From what I watched, Oliver's video was mostly frivolous criticisms of insignificant statements and criticisms of his personality and supporters rather than talking about the issues.

Just read this article: http://www.occupydemocrats.com/republicans-enraged-as-obama-on-track-to-completely-eliminate-deficit-by-2017/ " Obama On Track To Completely Eliminate Deficit By 2017" "Since Obama took the presidency, he has cut our national deficit in half– and it is possible that within the next two years, he could get rid of it entirely. " "Projections for this upcoming year have already been revised to cut a further $60 billion than what was projected in March, putting our deficit at $426 billion- a far cry from the $1.4 trillion he started with" Could it be true? Is that data valid? Doesn't make sense to me. What is going on here?

I'm very happy that gay couples are now free to the same tax benefits and pieces of paper as any hetero couple. It truly is great to see such a reduction in government control. But the underlying problems have not been addressed, or even acknowledged. The government just oppressed a large demographic of people for decades. It’s great that they are no longer doing that, but the very fact that they were given the privilege to do so is deeply concerning. I wish this had been a wake up call. Like other government initiatives, the underlying problems have not been solved. The price of healthcare has not been lowered. People have not been educated about the virtues of donating money to people who need help paying for healthcare. Rather, money has been taken with force from one party and given to another. It’s kind of like drinking in order to reduce anxiety. Yes, the anxiety goes away temporarily, but the cause of the anxiety has not been solved so, and the alcohol is not permanent, so it will keep coming back, and, in the case of healthcare, now we're even more dependent on government. Again, it’s great that gays are now free to marry, but the fact that they weren’t always should be concerning.

If you are interested in a technology or software focused business I would check out The Lean Startup by Eric Reis. It's relevant to other kinds of businesses as well. If you have a certain kind of business in mind I can point you to a more specific resource.

Both sound great Mike. I'd be interested in hearing thoughts about "micro aggressions" as well as issues women face in the workplace such as "bro culture" and sexual harassment.

Some of these statistics are mind blowing. Have any feminists publicly rebutted it in any way?

Stef should debate Sam publicly instead

Sam Harris is like philosophy-light. What he says is just interesting and controversial enough to pique people's interest. But falls short. If Sam is punk rock, Stefan is death metal. I'd love to see Stefan and Sam debate.

If a person slaps a person it is wrong - if a cop slaps a person it is ok - if a Mom slaps a person it is applauded ???

I think there are a few important things people aren't paying enough attention to: - The media's victimizing and at times falsely representing important issues or not discussing important issues - The underlying issue that we hold the government and the police to different moral standards than we ourselves - The fact that laws don't police themselves - every law, regulation, tax code, etc. that people call for means more police (Stef talks about thisin The Truth About Eric Garner) The more people feel victimized, and the more people get caught up in the symptoms of underlying problems, the angrier people get. The angrier people get, the more riots there are, the more riots there are, the more people think we need more police. I wrote more about this on Quora: http://qr.ae/0Iull

Amazing presentation. Mind = blown. Concisely presented and great citations. The data cited is so different than the mainstream narrative. I have a question though. What do you think makes this issue so important? Why do you think people should see this presentation? How does it fit into the overall mission of FDR? Is it because these disagreements are leading to a divide between the sexes, which is critically important for humanity? Is it because men are being harmed? I'd be curious to hear anyone's opinion on the importance of this issue. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

That's a great story Laurel. I admire your commitment to parenting. And totally agree parenting is a 0-1 project.

Great story and comments Michael.
