I think this is a very good take. He didn't start out that way but that's here he's at now. It's like he can't separate the anger he has for some actions taken against from the post-modern left and the ideology. He's the worst for it.

I think his Faith has corrupted him. He is close to something great.

He's a lot more combative in interviews now. It's understandable considering most of the "journalists" interviewing him are dishonest and looking to smear him, but he was a lot more effective when he sat back and let them embarrass themselves. Now he basically attacks them from the start and comes off as angry and defensive.

No. This is inaccurate. The word "lame" doesn't belong there. Try it, bmac. Download the app. Try day one and maybe day two. 5-10 minutes. Really try. You will see it is the practice of enhancing the only thing that matters: your awareness.

I don't mind Zizek, except that his speech impediments make him hard to understand.

I could listen to non-systematic thinkers ramble on all day.

Give yourself a break. If you really try it, you won't regret it. Just try it. Trust me.

It is funny to hear some people angry about two people mostly agreeing.

Surprise. This guy's fanboy fortunes have declined since confronting actual smart people instead of "television personalities."
