It's still hard for me to get over the fact that the very first people Damore had interview him were Stephen "cult leader" Molyneux and Jordan Petersen. He's also got interviews with Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro. It's totally possible that they were the only outlets that would give him a platform, but those are very biased and partisan outlets. If he was as objective and free thinking as he's depicted as, why was his first reaction to jump to one of the extremes?

- cosmiccartel 9y agoI'd mainly chalk that up to them being the only ones open to a genuine discussion with him. The articles coming out in the aftermath were all extremely demonizing of Damore. I remember watching Peterson's interview with him, and Damore didn't really seem comfortable with many of the former's statements, just based on his body language. Maybe that was just social awkwardness. Also, I don't follow Molyneux or Carlson, but neither Peterson nor Shapiro can be truthfully called extreme.
- yahna 9y agoShapiro seems pretty extreme, just more mainstream conservatism. Peterson just has a head the size of ontario at this point.
