He created this himself, this is the book he wrote:
>Amazon: Ben Shapiro: How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument
​
And here: Youtube: Shapiro's only reason to debate the left voluntarily (timestamped)
Other than being forced to or for the unlikely chance that you've found the only honest leftist in America, here is the only reason Shapiro can find to debate someone on the left:
>Shapiro: The only other reason you should ever have a conversation with anyone on the left, is if your are in public in front of a large audience and then your goal is to humiliate them as badly as possible. That is the goal of the conversation.
No it’s because he was never accused of these things before promising to end corruption in Washington. Almost as if it was attempted character assassination. Like when McCain ran against Obama https://www.amazon.com/Gook-John-McCains-Racism-Matters/dp/0967943345
Or when Romney ran against Obama https://nyuscholars.nyu.edu/en/publications/mitt-romneys-racist-appeals-how-race-was-played-in-the-2012-presi
Seems to be a trend.
>Sure, Shapiro can't be held responsible for that,
In a way he can, Shapiro's book:
>Amazon: Ben Shapiro: How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument
Ok, so I wasn't aware he wrote a book about it too. There's another book called The Great Reset, that he didn't write: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Reset-Post-Crash-Economy-Change-ebook/dp/B003GFIW42
Anyways, I was referring to the conspiracy theory, which is, of course, nonsense.
LOLOLOLOL That’s odd. What is this then you fucking NPC. You must be a shill to be that much of a bootlicker. How pathetic your life must be.

So a group of people who happen to share the same answer to a question formed a cult. How does that make a very simple position on an issue ("Do you believe in the existence of God?") a philosophy or a religion?
Think of it this way, if you were atheist and had a very well defined philosophy with views on metaphysics, epistemology, meta-ethics, ethics, politics, and aesthetics, and you wrote a 400 page treatise on your philosophy laying it all out to definitively clarify and explain it, how much content would be devoted to "atheism"? It's worth about half-a-page to clarify that belief in the existence of a God is inconsistent with the philosophy you are describing.
Almost none, because the answer to the question "Do you believe in a God?" has nothing to do with providing guidance on any of those other subjects.
That's why you can find atheists advocating a wide assortment of contradictory philosophical systems and political ideas. There are atheists who believe in that the mind controls and determines reality and that our lives are a dream (subjectivism) and other atheists who believe that reality exists as an objective absolute and that we know reality through sensory perception. You'll find atheists who advocate altruism and others who advocate rational selfishness. You'll find some advocating collectivism and socialism and others advocating individualism and laissez-faire capitalism.
I still use Bevel's razors. Perfectly close shave. Replacement blades are easy to come by.
There are other brands like it that are awesome. I went through a lot when I trashed Gillette. Just don't buy cheap Chinese knockoffs. They're always misaligned by 1mm or something and you're asking to get nicked and cut.
I hate when Ben advertises this. VPNs are so untrustworthy and don't work as a 100% they will not know anything. They will snitch on you if the government asks. Mental Outlaw has talked about this a lot. I personally recommend the Tor Browser, because nobody has actually been deanonymized without having taken the wrong steps. It is also free as in freedom, so you have the right to do whatever you want with it (ethical or unethical). It is more secure than any VPN you can get on the market (FOR FREE). The next best thing if you don't want to use Tor is probably Mullvad VPN. They are probably your best bet for a standard VPN.
> So it’s not human consciousness that makes someone a person, it’s “having had at one point a self aware human consciousness” that makes someone a person.
I am saying that it is indeed, possession of human-level consciousness that makes one a person, but a person can fall asleep and still maintain possession of its personality. (That's why when Jack falls asleep and you wake him up, he is still Jack and not some completely different dude named Ralph.)
>When does one become self aware?
Sometime after birth, perhaps months later. At birth a newborn's consciousness is at the same level of an animal's or lower. It does not possess thoughts in anything similar to how we have words, but rather emotions.
We are subject to huge amounts of sensory perceptions as our data about the world. An animal's mind is able to separate out those sensations and make some sense of them. Infants have to do that, too, and it's their first task. Compared to an animal, a human's mind can go further and understand those sensations in much greater detail and determine entities' distinguishing characteristics, creating abstract concepts (you may have never seen a certain model of car before, but when you see it you know it's a car because it possesses the attributes that define what a car is) and later much more abstract and higher level concepts that build on lower level concepts (such as the concept of individual rights, which is extremely abstract).
If anyone reading this is seriously interested in the issue of concept formation, I recommend the book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology
I don't really have a position on whether or not gun control lowers crime as I have not invested much time in investigating the issue. However, there are some who would make a counterargument. For example, John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, could bury you with statistics and studies showing otherwise.

More of the "I haven't read anything and don't take the time to research the basics of ideas before stating opinions."
>How will/can libertarianism function even close to properly without the liberalist concept of "the consent to be governed"? A populatist consent to be governed is and probably should be derived from: democracy. Not oligarchy and liberty.
Consent of the governed cannot derive from Democracy. There is only individual consent, no such thing as communal consent.
Capitalism (free markets, free enterprise and private property rights) provides individual concent to the private production of defense (by insurance companies) through consentual purchasing.
>The libertarian utopia is almost an anarchist oligarchy. And government is the totally controlled tool of individuals and cartels under that system.
This is not true. Again, you obviously haven't read anything about Anarcho-Capitalism.

You're not getting traction because the question is uncivil and unserious and you asked for civility and claimed to be serious.
Alternately you could have asked:
What is the basis of consertativism?
I would have pointed you to Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions and Russel Kirk's The Consertative Mind.
Then you could read these and not post unserious and uncivil questions on Reddit.

everyone is spying on each other. again not impressed
"5 Eyes is name of the multilateral intelligence-sharing alliance created by the UKUSA Agreement. The agreement was originally conceived of as a post-WWII pact between the UK and the US in 1946 as a way to spy on foreign governments, specifically the USSR. Over the years, the treaty grew in both members and scope. As the Internet and the amount of data available for intercept grew exponentially, the agreement began to focus more on domestic surveillance."
Nine Eyes refers to a group of nations that share intelligence, comprised of the 5 Eyes member countries plus Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and Norway participating as third parties. This group seems to be a more exclusive club of SSEUR and is also not backed by any known treaty, it is simply an arrangement between SIGINT agencies.
Israel, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea are all suspected to be third parties with the NSA as well. And just as there is a SIGINT Seniors of Europe, there is a SIGINT Seniors of the Pacific, which was formed in 2005. Its members include the 5 Eyes member countries as well as France, India, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. There are also non-Western intelligence-sharing alliances, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization between China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

I get it that you're heartless and power hungry dude....
Those are solutions. Lower prices / inflation, elimination of moral hazards and people keeping more of their own money is the solution (all while not commiting moral wrongs).
Don't worry, you won't have to take care of poor people hurt by Lib / Prog polices. Republicans will voluntarily take care of the poor, just like they do now (social science is clear on this.)

In that case, I think you'll enjoy this interview with the author of a book, What Justice Demands, that makes a philosophical case why people should support Israel and oppose the Palestinians:
This book explains why the civil rights act violates the US constitution and why its cause a “two track legal system” in the US.

You follow the constitution of the 60s. Conservatives follow the constitution of the founding.
This book clearly describes the political differences today. Very accurate.
>Why does Ben Shapiro think any criticism of Israel at all is anti-semitism?
Much of it is rooted in anti-semitism, including the willful ignorance of the background of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and then choosing to side with the Palestinians and Arab World on it. I wish Ben would promote this great book, What Justice Demands which explains the moral case for why people should support Israel and why the Israelis and Jews are the good guys in the conflict. Long interview with the author on YouTube available here:

I like to think of it this way. The biggest achievement of Islam was the World Trade Center bombings, the stoning of raped women, and the creation of theocratic Islamic groups like ISIS, Al Queda, and Al Shabab. In contrast, the Israelis invented the 3D-printed heart. That's sums it up succinctly.
>I agree, I'm just saying that there was a very easy and reasonable answer he could have given.
This is the name of his Amazon book, How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument. He doesn't just like them, he personally endorses them. Any "reasonable" response claiming he doesn't like them would be a flat out lie, and that's why he never claimed to dislike them.
