Question: “What are the characteristics of human nature? Are those characteristics changeable? If so, how can they be changed? You have spoken on this topic a couple times, and I think I've noticed some inconsistency."
"Take the video ‘Shocking Misogynist Attacks Feminism, Defends Rape Culture,’ for example. At 15:47, you pose a mental exercise to the audience to explore the roots of human violence. At 16:14 you preface the exercise by saying that you don't 'buy the human nature argument,' and follow with: ‘saying, 'What is human nature?' is like saying 'what is the shape of water?' Well, it depends what you pour it into.’”
“But in a later video, ‘Why The Regressive Left Has Already Lost,’ you suggest an alternative description of human nature: At 8:54, you ridicule leftists for viewing human beings as water and implying that human nature is infinitely malleable (specifically, you were criticizing the idea that immigrants can easily adapt to the culture of their new host country). I have wrestled with this issue myself, and I was wondering if you could clarify your thoughts.”
