Few things have been more annoying that randomly adding “phobic” in front of words, even though it has makes no sense, since disagreeing doesn’t mean one is scared. Looking forward to the coming “tomatophobic” phase.

Woke is a religion, with dogma, faith and punishment of death for apostasy. We should not be surprised that its adherents don't play well with people of other faiths.

This is absolutely correct.

Great production! At first I thought, "I don't know if I want to watch for 19 minutes," but all of it was engrossing. I was astonished by the interchange about the robot, and that was just the beginning. Good work! This is exciting.

I was happy to see the students ability to disagree without hostility. And I think allowing them to calmly and inquisitively talk about their beliefs, allowed other student to hear them.

It seems it came through clearer than usual that most people want similar things for people and community, but they support different paths of getting there.

I think this exercise allowed for more open communication.

The weird thing to me, is that if you truly believe that the discussion/Q&A "is anti-woke which means it is kinda racist and queerphobic” _and_ you believe you are fighting the good fight, then shouldn't you go and hear the people who oppose you so you know what you are up against?

If someone offered to defend me or help me, but he or she didn't want to know what my opposition thinks or says or reads or proposes, why would I want his or her help?

I did not enjoy this nearly as much as your previous tour videos. You seemed to be often interjecting your own views and opinions, whereas, in the previous videos, you never really offered your own views, but rather only asked probing questions that effectively revealed the thinking of others.

It is a tough line to walk.
