Behind the mic: Gayle King, Ziwe, and Mehdi Hasan on the art of the interview
Back in the day - with your Walter Cronkites and David Brinkleys - it felt kind of inappropriate for an interviewer to bring their full selves to the conversation. It was all about the guest, after all, so why bother bringing their own distinctive flairs?
But now, people tune in as much for the interviewer as the one being interviewed. And because of that, the experience feels much more authentic!
So today, you'll get to know three masters of the craft who each have their own distinct, but oh so compelling styles of asking tough, thought-provoking questions.

    Obviously they aren't going to talk about it and i respect it... But i still want them to talk about it. I thought they were both fame hungry enough to do a full apology tour, and maybe that "family night" cookbook might be when that happens, but i think for the sake of their kids it's really best to keep that off the Internet. I would not want my parents dirty laundry out for everyone to gawk at. ALSO! Lots of couples go through infidelity. Ned's a scumbag, yeah, but he's not the first person to be unfaithful.

    Not only do most people not give a single thought about the happiness of their potential baby, they don't even think about HAVING the baby in the first place...or about how it would feel about having its genitals mutilated. Most children are accidents. It sounds cold doesn't it. My mom told me I was an accident. I believe her.

  • @c1ips0official31
    @c1ips0official31 Před 22 dny

    I tend to advocate for responsible reproductive autonomy. in a lot of cases, adoption is more ethically viable option and more accessible to someone with tokophobia, however reproduction requires that you can ensure the autonomy of the child isn't violated and in a lot cases there are children who are born to purely serve a financial or power based goal and are basically puppets to their parent's whims. responsible reproductive autonomy also necessarily means fighting for youth liberation as you have to see the child as their own consciousness instead of an object to be controlled and much of society is built around reducing the autonomy of children to produce efficient little workers through the largely education-prison-drug-war-industrial complex. under an authoritarian structure, there is no liberation for youth and there for no way to avoid the serious traumas that come with growing up due to the massive power imbalances between children and adults. they are largely dominated due to their lack of life experience and are seriously exploited for profit. in a noncoercive healthy setting, child birth becomes more ethical. under capitalism, it is far more ethical to help people struggling with the adoption system. then again there should not be authoritarian actions being taken to remove the right to reproductive autonomy due to violating bodily autonomy. considering the possiblities of immortality also changes the conversation because in a situation of immortal beings, child birth within a single planet would probably be somewhat less ethical if humans were to reach of the carrying capacity of the planet. I guess I'm conditionally antinatalist but pro bodily autonomy in most cases.

    • @HereToSuffer247
      @HereToSuffer247 Před 18 dny

      @TheGoldenPlatoon757 no because meaning is derived by the sensation experience. You cant derive any meaning if you could not experience sensations (being hungry would be meaningless if there were no negative consequences. In 100 years from now even if you are no longer alive good and bad sensations will still matter and be just as important. So nihilism is very useless while antinatalism or efilism recognizes the meaning of life.
