I don’t approve of the violence but if the violence is there, a university has to think about safety, so I don’t think it’s cowing as much as it’s being prudent.
Also, from what I’ve read, much of the violence was from outside agitators.
However, if students peacefully protest a speaker, a university can and should hear their concerns and if it denies a speaker access as a result it also isn’t cowing.
Something to consider is that with Milo it isn’t a left vs right thing, as much as people want to see things that way. Breitbart got rid of him so denying an individual a platform is not a left only issue. There is also Ben Shapiro’s history with Breitbart to think about as well.
Does it say how those kids compared to the general adult population in history/civics/etc? Just cause one person is dumb, doesn’t mean the other person is smarter haha.
When faced with adversity do you think he shows more or less restraint than other politicians? Do you think he is more or less prone to outbursts than other politicians? Do you feel as if he is more or less guided by emotions than other politicians?
Don’t get me wrong you can find examples of pretty much all politicians in history losing their cool, outbursts, etc. But I’d be hard pressed to think one can consistently find as many examples of those as one can with Trump.
To me that’s what I meant by him having less impulse control and being guided more by his emotions than others.
You have to place a 10,000 dollar bet on a member of Congress or the President to pass that test. Do you place your money on a member of Congress drawn out of a hat or Trump?
Yeah I know, I just thought you might have some suggestions other than the usual suspects like Milo, Molyneux, etc that might provide another perspective that I hadn’t already heard.
I reckon there is more available literature on those there library computers than the books the library houses…perhaps you should’ve been more specific regarding your assumptions…
It has been shown that reading off of paper is superior to reading off a computer screen. Also, libraries can loan books between one another so it’s not like you are limited to one library’s collection.
One more thing, I have some books that you won’t find online so don’t assume (since you criticize others for it) that everythiing can be found online.
With what variance? What other factors might contribute to this? Correlation != Causation and all that…
So you’re expecting dude to wait around for a book from another library to get there when he can just read it online???
Also, I have a library app – half the books I’m interested in reading are not available due to the library system NOT OWNING THEM … just recently I looked up Thucydides - NONE OF THE LIBRARIES IN MY SYSTEM OWNED IT. Sounds amazing, I was gobsmacked as well…
I’d hesitate using a black swan example to strengthen your argument…
