Hi Gregg, thank you for posting the link.

I thought Dyson made good points about historical context being important in understanding bias in value structures.

I liked Goldberg's take on the nuances of the digital tribalism.  Essentially, we will face intense anonymous criticism no matter what we do.

I thought Peterson came across as the most clear, informed, and persuasive of the group.

Stephen Fry brought in a refreshing, if pollyannish, comedian/entertainer's perspective.  

The clash between the two sides of the debate disappointed me, and also seem to reflect the tension points I experience out and about.  For example, I think Dyson's point was lost when he pejoratively labeled Peterson by his demographics, and I believe that Peterson would be less divisive if he could demonstrate awareness of how whiteness is experienced by people of color.
