If so, I would like to ask you a few questions.
Please PM or e-mail me.
Thanks! :shaka:

Not participating so much as simply listening and sparsely engaging.

I ran across their website: http://intellectualdark.website/about/ and I find it interesting that there are so many well known people on all sides that want to participate.

I don't go on the actual sites, but do see post from Q (not forum member Q).
And have my alternative media (not fake news) info.

I have watched a large number of his debates and interviews and speeches so I am hesitant to buy a ticket to see him in person. I feel like maybe I have heard much of what he is going to say. He is incredibly articulate and specific and he appears to have the knowledge to back up everything he says. He makes Ben Shapiro look like a kindergartner and Shaprio ain't no joke himself!
Let me know what you think about the talk!

I’ve only seen a couple of his talks, mostly seen his interviews, both friendly and non-friendly (Newman, GQ), but he’s a different presence on-stage...solo, with free reign to go where ever his mind will take him. I felt like he was opening different windows directly into his mind as he spoke: you couldn’t see the whole interior, but you could see where the thought could lead.
So to begin, announcer came over the loudspeaker, “Alright ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage.....the host of The Rubin Report, Dave Rubin!” Collective uproar from the crowd, and on walks Rubin. Great surprise, cracked a couple of jokes, and re-affirmed his optimism that a change is happening in society completely unlike the Antifas and madness on college campuses that the media would have you believe, then he introduces Peterson, adorned in lei.
He took the first couple of minutes to explain how he got into the spotlight/crosshairs while searching for a good topic, then he ultimately landed on “Be grateful in spite of suffering.” He then broke the phrase into their deep fundamental elements, but the gross over generalization would be gratitude requires courage, especially in a lifetime that is almost completely suffering.
For me, the most fascinating thing about his talki was the thought maps he created throughout the lecture. As one point became fleshed out, he’d tie into another point about the human condition and then tie it back either directly or indirectly to “Be grateful in spite of suffering,” you’d then see a collective nod or ‘ahhh’ from the audience. It’s like a spider web growing from the center, and you intimately understand the existence of each thread and how they intertwine with each other.
I’ve had his book for about a year now, and only now am inspired to read it. You could probably learn just as much from watching his YouTube videos or interviews, but I do believe his best content comes forth when he’s given the mic and allowed to just explore. The feeling of knowing that you understand what’s going on, and you know the person next to you understands what’s going on, and the person next to you knows you understand what’s going on, and that person knows you know he/she knows what’s going on is uplifting.
Sadly, I think the theatre was at best 2/3 full - the cheap seats in the back were almost empty, couldn’t tell if the balcony was any better. I’d pay to watch him again or any other IDW members in Hawaii, if anything just to bolster the demand-side and give them incentive to come down, lord knows we need all the non far-Left allies we can get.

Thanks for the review.
I did see an interview where he didn't really categorize himself as a conservative and was a bit liberal on many issues. I don't think he went into much detail IIRC.
Do were there any whining SJWs trying to disrupt the speech?

If there were, they were pre-emptively silenced by the annoucer’s “...as a reminder, we have a zero-tolerance policy for hecklers and disrupters *audience chuckle*, you will be immediately escorted from the premises and you will not receive a refund.”
None showed themselves, although there was a Che-lover-looking kind of guy (oops, might have misgendered...zhe? Xi? Nen?) with a skateboard who took a seat for about five seconds before being escorted out. A very quietly civil night.
