    Some may find this interesting to watch, I'm a huge fan of Stephen Fry and my respect for Dr. Peterson has been steadily growing with each video of him I see -

    Desc: Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and British actor and activist Stephen Fry take on American blogger Michelle Goldberg and American political commentator and academic Michael Eric Dyson in a fiery debate on political correctness in modern society.






    The final vote results aren't displayed in the video, someone was kind enough to post them in the comments, I'll leave them here too sure:

    pre-debate/post-debate voting results: 36pro-64con/30pro-70con: con wins with 6% vote gain.

    The very mention of political correctness was enough to make me not watch this video

    Fry’s in danger of exploding with self-importance.

    "Activist" Stephen Fry.

    Is that another word for shameless self-promoter?

    lmao what is it about Mr. Fry ye don't like lads? Is it that he's English, a friend of the Queen, he speaks his mind, or that he's another gay guy who doesn't swim in the same direction as the rest of them? Top lad in my book!

    Seen that a couple of days ago.
    It's not worth spending 2 hrs of one's life watching

    The Dyson person is an embarrassment

    Both men are great and that’s coming from someone who hates almost everybody on TV, Meghan Markle, Kim Kardashian, etc, etc. Peterson is just a straight up truth speaker and I’ve always got a good vibe from Fry. I’ll be watching this.
