Just three days ago, the Golden Globe Awards aired on national television. When watching a scene like this, it's easy to focus on the awards being handed out or the gorgeous costumes the stars are wearing. But this year, Piers Morgan and Jordan Peterson realized something else.
Dave Rubin plays a clip of the two discussing the event.
“I watched it for three hours straight,” Morgan told Peterson. “There are no political speeches, no acts of virtue, no awards ceremonies. People basically did what Ricky Gervais said they should do three years ago: stand up and tell their agents It’s about being thankful and sitting back and just celebrating the creation of a movie or TV show.”
“I felt like there was a real backlash going on right now,” he explained.
“Even Hollywood is aware of the reality that people who watch movies and TV shows don't always want to hear that.”
“Well, we put politics first,” Peterson added.
“The mistake entertainers make is thinking that what they do is just entertainment. They serve a master far higher than the political, but when they bend their art to serve a political master, they distort the higher level. to your own detriment.”
“Art should never be subordinated to serve politics. Then it becomes not only propagandistic, but boring and sleazy. Nobody cares what the stars think about Trump. ” he explained.
“Jordan's point is that art should be made for art's sake,” Dave explains. “A beautiful painting is beautiful because it brings out something within you. that It's actually sacred and important, but when it becomes subordinated to political agendas, it becomes unbelievable, to the point where you think you can pretend to be an astronaut because you can pretend to be an astronaut in a movie. The more self-righteous and hysterical people appear. live your life. ”
