Cuban is a delusional-narcissistic idiot.

I don’t need an interview to refine that analysis.

I get where you're coming from—and I was leaning in that direction too. But honestly, listening to him in this interview takes it to another level. Cuban’s not just delusional; he’s calculated. Smooth delivery, confidence masquerading as certainty, and zero hesitation as he trots out half-truths as gospel. You don’t fully grasp how slick and self-righteous he is until you hear him defend coercion as “care.”

It’s not just narcissism—it’s salesmanship in service of a belief system he’s too invested in to question.

I salute your resilience, he embodies nearly everything wrong…without a shred of self awareness.

Appreciate that—and agreed. He’s like a walking TED Talk powered by hubris. The scary part isn’t just what he believes—it’s how sure he is while believing it. No curiosity, no humility, just full-speed certainty wrapped in corporate polish.

This is painful. "Companies can do whatever they want." Ummmm....no it's illegal to hire based on race. Now I'm thinking to myself, why do I care what Mark Cuban thinks?

Kudos to Rav for trying to have a reasonable and thoughtful discussion with Cuban, but Cuban comes across as defensive and manipulative. Maybe he feels that being open to other perspectives is “backing down”.

Appreciate that you challenged Cuban on DEI in Part 1—but there’s more to unpack. I break down Cuban’s slick defense of diversity dogma in greater detail here:

As for Part 2, it’s disappointing to see the discussion confined to the virologists’ turf. The core assumptions of “the virus” go unchallenged—treated as sacred truth rather than the circular doctrine they are. I take that on directly in:

Universities are a business Mark. Universities make lots of money to support their bloated undeserved salaries, hence DEI and virtue signaling in an attempt to bring in more money. Until someone comes along and says, nope! Hire the best, instill hard work and better performance not quotas and crutches.

Mark, you are a fool.
