Yes, free speech was clearly the problem.
Well, they are the expert. /s
Anybody else watch the cringe fest that was “Jordan Peterson vs 20 athiests” in which Jordan deployed logical fallacies, lots of word salad, obfuscation, and - as mentioned previously - semantic wordplay (for ex: “What do you mean by believe?”, “What does ‘true’ mean”)? It is sad the level of discourse this supposedly learned person chooses to take while refusing to endorse Christianity and yet simultaneously trying to defend at least some level of vaguely defined “religion” or deism he will not be bullied into defining.
I saw and I cringed. How can one man say so much and communicate so little? For what it is worth; for me, he and Shapiro is the epitome on the right. The very best they have and while every now and then they hit on something I can agree with; mostly it is just stupid shit on a stupid worldview wrapped in a blanket of stupid.
You know I think there’s two reasons for this. He may be suffering fallout from his big benzo crash. If you watch his earlier works he feels downright insightful and coherent. But after that episode he took a hard right into the world of myth and has seemingly become entirely impossible to follow.
But the second is that he started pitching lecture series on the bible to Christians. Presumably this is very profitable, and I suspect he feels the need to maintain this grift to set himself up long term. Hence why he has become impossible to pin down on belief. One word placed incorrectly will destroy that.
probably true that
On another note I have really been enjoying the Trump / Musk fallout and the hilarious toddler feud that ensued. Who could have predicted (the most obvious of scenarios) that?
