ben graduated highschool at 16, skipped 2 grades, graduated summa cum laude from UCLA at 20, and graduated cum laude from Harvard Law.

why people are invested in saying he isn't smart is beyond me. he's smarter than anyone in PARD i'd wager, since our resident ivy leaguer Jeb left.


One thing I learned after getting my masters degree is that degrees don't require a lot of brains, they require a lot of work. Many people here think I'm a complete idiot but I have bachelors and masters and I graduated Summa Cum Laude the only non-A's I received were in Introduction to Logic and Predicate Calculus, to satisfy a philosophy minor. If I can do it, anyone can.

I wish I had knew I was as smart or smarter than half the MDs and JDs I work with before I went to college because I might have had the confidence to study those things immediately. I didn't even plan on getting my masters. I didn't even consider college until one of my friends who is way dumber than I am got a bachelors degree. I was helping him with his homework despite me getting kicked out of high school and him not missing any classes and graduating on time.

I would like to shared classes with Ben during our Organic Chemistry classes, that is where you see who is really smart lol. But it doesn't matter how smart you are, it matters how you use it, and Ben built himself quite a money making machine with it. I only use my degrees to directly help people, which is valued much less in society than entertainment.

The smartest guy I've ever worked with was a psychiatrist who was 36 years old and had been a medical director somewhere already. He told me he wished he was smarter so he couldn't have been a surgeon and not have to talk to people so much lol. When I asked what his bachelors was in he answered "biology, but if you know someone who wants to be a doctor tell them not to, I hate this" lol.

Going to Ivy League doesn't mean you're smart, it means you have an alumni in your family or won a lottery of some sort.

I didn't know those facts about Ben, and I respect his credentials, I wish I had the opportunity to go to a school like that, but he punches down all the time and he doesn't punch up, which isn't something I respect over all as someone who tries to only punch up. He is one of the most privileged people that society has ever produced and he denies that privilege exists as he uses his oversized platform to attack already marginalized people. He is manipulative as hell in this process and isn't interested in actually discussing an issue in the same way that Joe Rogan will discuss an issue, who I actually respect much much more as an intellectual, despite the lack of credentialing.

He also shows that you can be very very book smart and lack common sense and insight as a person. For example he is a person who was raised by wealthy parents who worked in Hollywood and was able to attend an Ivy League school learned somehow that privilege doesn't exist and accepted it uncritically. You can't be extremely intelligent and not make this connection.

"Section 3 of the amendment also declares that no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

Only proven election fraud from the past election is from supporters of Donald J Trump. You can search numerous examples of proven cases and cases moving forward in criminal courts.

In addition the noose is tightening from the coup on Jan 6th on its members. Messages are made public, Ivanka Trump has to testify, and hopefully she is like her father, who would definitely throw her under the bus.

This thread isn't about any of this, and it is a spam thread that regular users made productive about Ben Shapiro owning the libs. You need to take your meds so you can pay attention to what thread you're in. You're like that one dude that talks about pedophilia in every thread. You both must have went to Montessori school.

i think ben hyperbolically responds to the topic of privilege because he thinks the leftist arguments for it are hyperbolic.

of course inherited wealth is a privilege, of course private education is as well, and of course being white carries some level of privilege. ben just makes a living responding to dumb tweets by people who pretend that being born rich means u can make a successful business without hard work or graduate ivy league without doing homework as long as you're white. and there's a lot of unsuccessful poor whites that love to hear it sadly.

all of this is off topic, its you that brought it in
even this part "Section 3 of the amendment also declares that no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”"

I like Ben a lot. He is a very clever man. The truth about high suicide rate even after all the surgeries, pronoun-swapping, and all-gender bathrooms is evidence that these people need help, not placation.

Not everyone here is interested in the truth, the human ego is a fragile thing, even more so for these clueless souls that don't even know what or who they are. To them, any rejection is an attack and any praise is vindication. Hit that dopamine button. Share it on twitter. Like. Share. Subscriiiiiibe. Don't address real life problems. Force everyone around to support you. Claim victimhood if life gets uncomfortable. Everyone else who succeeded cheated.

Watching him embarrass "highly educated" students is hilarious. The world is a lot harder in person than it is with a twitter # and a block button. You see them crumble time and time again as their lies fall apart.

It's 2022. We have rockets going to Mars. We discovered 400 year old living sharks. I can livestream in 1080p with a Vietnamese pie-maker if I wanted to. And here comes the blowhards from the left. Throwing the same temper tantrum as they do every other year like spoiled kids who were told no at the store. Demanding businesses halt. That money be stolen from one group to pay another to appease, absolutely no one, and create more social division. Thinking that anyone, anyone at all cares what's between your legs or that it has any place outside of your bedroom is beyond obnoxious. The Democratic agenda is and has been for a while, destabilization of a society. It isn't about fair, or winners or losers, its all about damage. I'm different, but NO I'M NOT YOU'RE WRONG, now take care of me and also obey me because I'm weird and if you don't you're a bigot and I'll get 1,000 other losers to try to ruin your life like wild animals.

When someone's imaginary gender can fix my car's steering rack and pinion, then we can talk. When a pronoun saves a woman from being raped after concerned citizens called 911 for a woman screaming, then we can talk. When the 33rd - 38th genders on Facebook can write the code that enables GPS systems to communicate at 1Gb/second to rescue Indonesian villagers from a landslide and guide rescuers, then we can talk.

Until then, this lunacy has gone on long enough. You need us to survive and still claim its too hard. We don't need you and survive in spite of your attempts. We need more Ben Shapiros. I don't think he's perfect but I know he's right about a lot.
