What is the Rubin Report?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
It's a place for free thinkers and those of every walk of life to discuss the most important topics and controversial issues of the day.
unidentified
Classic journalism is degenerating.
They feel threatened.
That's the truth.
And you and people like you are the main threat to them.
More people are questioning their relationship with the media.
This is propaganda of Orwellian proportions.
Identity politics are being used to further divide us.
Talk about intersectionality.
Yeah.
But none of that defines me as who I am.
Not everybody is a racist.
Not everybody is a homophobe.
It's some psychosocial insanity.
There is, in my perspective, a God-shaped hole in people's heart that is being filled by hatred and polarization and tribalism.

You can get to the heart of the matter without presupposing any religious nonsense.

The message is, wake up.
The single greatest pursuit of every young person today is the pursuit of meaning.
The free individual will rise to the top.
If we're going to solve some of these problems, we have to emphasize the things that will bring us together.
The idea of sort of looking out for each other is surely the point in a republic.
We have nothing in common, but we do have common sense.
We've got to put our heads together and figure out how to change the system.
The public that votes has to itself become informed.
Reason, science, humanism, and progress.
You learn something every day.
