@Dolimyte Well, Jordan is one of my favorite intellectual
Dolimyte · 41-45, M
@SW-User why? He thinks that something can be true based exclusively on if it helps you survive. He thinks it's ok to beat your children. He also thinks atheists can't be good people, because thats how one was portrayed in a russian novel he once read.

@Dolimyte When someone asks me the question "why" after I give them my answer base on my choice, there will be two reasons.

One is that they want to know further more about my answer to help them solving their curiosity and questionable. And to know if it can convince them enough to prove that my point of view is right enough to match with my choice base on my answer.

Two is that they want to know further and to try to convince me to change my point of view by state their point of view that opposite with my answer without trying too hard to convince me and not to make their purpose so obvious.

Well, Jordan is my favorite intellectual because I admire him for his way of stating the fact of the reality and how he can prove his point by scientific and logical explanation base on research and realistic statement. Even there is some point that I do not agree with him, I still admire him for his intelligent and sharp analysis.

So there you go, that is my answer.

I don't really have one. I think there are ones that I understand, but I don't really agree with them.
I'm more interested in the ideas than the people themselves.
