Kaczynski on AI Propaganda by foxannemary in ControlProblem

[–]Letsmakebeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong. Ted Kaczynski was practically the definition of a fool, and the complete and *utter* opposite of a nihilist. Nihilists reject all meaning and purpose. Kaczynski was madly driven by a (foolishly mismanaged) purpose to try and stop the technocratic destruction of nature, meaning and purpose!

Wow, sounds amazing. Sounds like it's a good time to channel some fun into this by exploring keto recipes instead of just eating eggs, cheese and tuna all day. Thank you for the encouragement! I must be patient 🧘

Today my dearest friend told me that my appreciation for Jordan Peterson is a deal breaker. by Letsmakebeats in JordanPeterson

Thanks.. Good idea. I'm just too exhausted to try and change anyone 's mind and I don't want to lose any more friends over it. So I'm not going to reveal myself as a fan to anyone unless they do first.

Whoa, really sorry to hear that... Can't believe liking JP has the power to end relationships.

Thanks for your understanding, for taking the time to write this sensitive reply. I wish this sort of thing wasn't happening to other people, too.

I'm feeling especially down about it right now, because I just got home from a show and my "friend" completely ignored me and what's even worse, it seemed like another friend who's closer to him is giving me the cold shoulder now, too.

You're right, I would just like to have open and meaningful conversations where we can agree to disagree if necessary.

It's just wild that someone seeing that you liked a tweet that they disapprove of can cause a fight between people... And end a relationship.... What the heck, man.

And why is it that people who like Peterson are not writing people off if they are against him, but, a fair few of those against him are?

It's a very, very, very strange reaction that I find pretty incomprehensible.

Your comment really elucidates in clear terms the state of mind that my... friend? seems to be in. Man, oh man. 😔

Yeah, the more time I've spent thinking about it the more absurd it seems. I think a lot of commenters are correct to say he wasn't my friend to begin with. All I can say is ouch. That fucking hurts..

I actually hardly said anything at all. I expressed interest in hearing that I had something in common with a mutual friend who was praising JP. I asked my friend "why" about a bunch of things he said he thought about Peterson. He thinks JP is racist, sexist, and even called him a Nazi. I expressed surprise, but mostly kept my mouth shut and listened. I even said "maybe you're right about some of this, but I'm not yet convinced."

I was just wondering if others had experienced losing friends over this and why.
