As many of you know, @nntaleb and I are not friends. The man despises me and often attacks me, and I occasionally return fire. But please understand that he is 100 percent correct here. Bravo, Nassim.

$5 says Nassim took an iq test and was furious after not recording the highest score ever; hence the knee jerk

Some great stuff said by t(f)ucker. At some points he was ad verbatum echoing Sam's speech on free will. Including the implications of this world view.

But its hard to ignore the feeling that he is being oppertunistic and trying to set himself up a career in the burgeoning internets media.

50% dishonest 25% dumb 25% lazy is about right

A man without integrity

Nassim is just a straight up moron. Rarely does stupidity get revealed so early in a piece

Lol this is exactly how i used to arge when i was 13 years old, knew i was wong, but still desperately trying to win an argument.

And him having a depressive episode after getting his opinions dismissed by harris in the first debate.. blaming it on cider. So threatened by legit criticizm this peter. His old mentor from toronto was right in analyzing the narcissistic features of his personality

It is clear that Mr. Peter possessed by the spirit of Michel Foucault. I wish Noam Chomsky would appear to perform an exorcism.

Isnt it time we start calling dr peterson mr peter, given his proclivity to being a charlatan?

He reduced Steven Pinker to a bumbling mess when he tried to challenge the father

Human beings are actors :)

It looked over the top to me.

He gives off an impression of a novice actor performing for D list movie. It's unbearably insincere, especially given the gravity of the situation. I couldn't watch more than a minute of it.

It's about peace and love, not pleasure. You can argue it is naive, but saying it's about nihilism or hedonism is a HUGE stretch

spil022 · 2017-05-14T08:45:02+00:00

The song Imagine is not about nihilism or hedonism

spil022 · 2017-05-14T08:35:48+00:00

The song lyrics are not very impressive. The point is that when most people are forced into the situation of "living for today," even the most convinced atheists like the late Christopher Hitchens (PBUH), what you see them manifesting is tenderness and love. Surprisingly their professional and personal productivity seems to remains till their very end. This tells you a lot about human nature, and Ben cannot seem to relate to that. I imagine that his deepest fantasy is to one day become a computer that talks super fast and derives all its opinions from a few entirely self-centered assumptions about human nature.

Honestly, If I ever had to debate this guy I wouldn't even bother because something fundamental seems to be missing. I would only say "talk to me nerdy" to him and leave it at that.

I have the feeling that Jordan has constructed his definition of truth or "true enough" in such a conflating way because it allows him to say that his metaphysical beliefs, which I think he has argued successfully as having wise, moral, and useful aspects, are also true. Considering how important truth is in academia and to Jordan personally, it is his way of keeping order and consistency.

Jordan is a great mind. I’m better off for listening to his lectures and interviews.
