I love Glenn (and McWhorter, and Coleman, etc.) But clearly a lot of my fellow Glenn Show subscribers are way too ideologue for me.
I will keep my tone to a respectful gentlemanly level here. That said, not every conversation between people of different views has to be a fight. Or a debate. Or a "I gotta get one up on you" type of discussion. Obviously Glenn feels zero pressure to do that.
Sometimes, people are more interested in listening. Sometimes, people are looking to better understand what makes the other person tick. Sometimes people want to listen and re-think stuff.
How do we think Dr. G got to where he is now? Or where he was 15 years ago?
Sometimes--especially with Glenn--people want to be respectful to their guests, particularly with those who respect him.
Does anybody honestly think Dr. Loury doesn't know, backwards & forwards / up & down, all of the potential "comebacks" to Gray's arguments?
This wasn't about that.
Glenn once explained that this aspect of his show is not a bug. It's a feature. And for that I am grateful.
