TC deliberately posts this video at a certain point so you dont see the context.

JP says "it's not easy to solve complicated problems, and ready-made ideological solutions don't work, it just makes it worse"

and the interviewer challenges him by saying "that's just a maxim, you're not actually addressing the question"

then JP questions him on a pretty common question that we don't even think about, which is relations between men & women in the workplace. JP says that women in the workforce is a pretty new thing and so far there have been lots of problems, and continues to challenge the guy on stuff that we basically just accept without thinking, like letting women wear makeup/high heels/etc in the office. this is really more of a thought experiment than anything, and i think he is being deliberately inflammatory here.

however my problem with JP is that he gets way too into the evolutionary angle of shit (i.e. "women paint their lips red because it simulates flush lips during sexual arousal"), which i feel makes him pretty detached from reality. in this case, it is that the action of putting on lipstick has evolved past being a primal practice to having a different meaning altogether, and honestly for a lot of men, lipstick isn't even sexually appealing, so it's hard to say that a woman putting on lipstick is subconsciously making herself more sexually presentable. I like JP but i think he is up his own ass way too much, he takes arguments like this into the real world that dont really have any place there
