@Arielle83 is really into him, he was her lecturer for a while

The guy makes sense and the left can’t handle it.......so then people like hydorah feel the need to attack

Yes, he is super intellectual and wise. I wouldn't let his political bias affect what I thought of his advice

Our lad went to see him live and really likes him, having said that he is a very strong guy too, so I guess like attracts like

Big ahem.



He isn't dumb but he

1) doesn't understand a lot of things

2) then misrepresents those

which makes him at best incompetent or at worst intellectually dishonest if this is intentional.

I think the only reason he came to fame is that the american public discourse is soo damn starved of acteurs who actually present arguments and don't just screech and reee at each other for political gains.

Edit: Addendum: he is at least aware of underlying problems in our current social structure and trying to do something about that, which is admirable and more than most.

He’s not even American, he’s Canadian.

Secondly, if he’s aware and doing something to change issues then how in the world could you call him incompetent? This is the exact shit I was just say to MSS. Attacking because what he’s saying is offensive to you and your thought process is what’s driving the world to the extremes

No, just no. Please read what I wrote. If he is aware that what he represents of postmodernism isn't correct he is intellectually dishonest. Plain and simple. He could also have been british or from a different nation but he still got his raise to fame through the way the american discourse works. His nationality is irrelevant for this

The other option is that he just doesn't understand it and that makes him incompetent in this field. Plain and simple.

He can still be competent in his field but when it comes to philosophy he struggles.

What you are now doing with your post is exactly the thing you claim to be against within your post on multiple levels.

Just for clarifiaction: there are things I agree with him but when it comes to philosophy he simply seems to have not much understandig or even knowledge about it.

While you say this......

Literally hundreds if not thousands of psychologists and psychiatrist agree with his views. Millions upon millions also share his views.

The only ones who call him incompetent are the ones he’s outing 😉

For psychology yes, not philosophy, and psychology is an ever changing things subject to change like all other areas of sciene that aren't pure sciences like math, chemics, physics and theoretical philosophy.

The claim you make is a nonsensical one without any argument to support this. One does not win by claiming victory alone. Quite the opposite.

Well, in science the only certain thing is uncertainty, virtually every single theory could be either debunked or expanded, even in the pure sciences. Pure sciences can therefore be ever-changing too.
