Instead he feels at home going to college campuses and saying biology determines gender (without any intrinsic knowledge of biology).

Agree with him, disagree with him, it doesn't matter. He is incapable of holding consistent thoughts about the economy, NATO, the EU, global history, religon and capitalism, and must degrade himself to these petty fights.

Its what his supporters point to when they're asked for a show of his intellect, but it in no way justifies his deep misunderstanding of climate science, neo-liberal economics, his support for markets and a tough immigration system, his support for NATO but not the EU, his limited thought on crime and much else. (for example he thinks that since the crime bill was followed by a lowering in crime rates it means we must jail more people to fight crime. That is a weak understanding and he doesn't understand the concept of correlation does not prove causation. This permeates through all his beliefs showing how little thought he has put into his politics).

But back to the gender debate, activist say gender is a social construct while sex is biological. They even say transgenders are still biologically male or female (that's why they say trans-male/trans-female).

Agree with them or not, even at this base simple level Shapiro feels the need to make a straw-man argument that SJWs don't agree with biology (whatever that means).
I just read your post slowly and carefully. You may disagree with him on "limate science, neo-liberal economics, his support for markets and a tough immigration system, his support for NATO but not the EU, his limited thought on crime" but that doesn't mean his positions are any less intelligent than yours.

He did not "fall apart." The interviewer was not treating him like an adult.

Intelligence is the application of knowledge and its procurement, not the amount you have.

Ben is incapable of thinking through his positions or reconsidering them.

I have stated my opinion, my point was he holds a host of contradictory views because he is determined to be ideologically ridged, not contemplative.

The interviewer is a conservative Tory whose job is to grill British politicians over their policy ideas. The fact that little Benny boy's response to a mild grilling was to accuse the interviewer of being a leftist is hilarious. Ben really does exist in a tiny little bubble.

Your resort to a diminutive insult means you have lost the argument.

Ben Shapiro: "I am popular and no one's ever heard of you"

He literally said that to another man in an interview about anger in the American political discourse. That is the kind of dialogue middle school girls would say to one another. Little boy Ben is an embarrassment to this country. Why you are defending him?

If you want to understand how shallow and lacking of depth Ben Shapiro is, read this:

Its not even elitism, its just delusional fantasy Randian thinking with no economic or social logic.

He should stick to calling for mass genocide, shilling for Israel, and pretending to be religious (he is actual a pro-corporate capitalist who hates morality).
I could not make it past the first 10 seconds listening to the commentator calling someone a dufus, yet Shapiro has a BA from UCLA & a JD from Harvard.
[ It is like Trump calling Meryl Streep a bad actress (of which even liberals can agree with me) ]

Hate or love Shapiro and/or his ideology, but few can call him a dufus based on their own lack of education/ intelligence.

Going to IV league school doesn't make you smart, usually it implies deference to people in power, that is what academics is built for. Staffing the institutions that run the country.

There are a lot of stupid people at Harvard who don't know a lot, Shapiro is one of them.
