100% this ... the "ill speak fast so people will think I am smart" face.
Way to go. I don't know what you have experienced listening to Shapiro on the daily caller or if your opinion of him on there is influenced by what other people, likely on the left say, but you seem not to have brought that bias to this particular link and seen what he did there as reasonably fair minded and in the spirit of intelligent inquiry ass I did. About all I know of him is are some videos of him where I thought he was rather disrespectful of the people challenging him. Your post strikes me as very fair compared to many others where preexisting bias is brought in and ears are closed thereby. My post reflects only what I saw in the link and as I said, found it also very interesting. I found Tyson very impressive in my opinion and to a great degree because of the kinds of questions he was asked.
What exactly did you object to about his rant? There are two aspects of it that interest me. One is the issue of gender dysphoria and the other is the free expression of speech. I think he did a pretty good job of making the twitter mods look like fools but the only times I ever look at twitter is from linkages on this forum. My bet is that you don't like what he said but have no real ability to argue as to why that would be objectively convincing. Maybe he hurts your feelings.
He said trans wrong doctors criminal… and twitter suspended his account for it. The video you saw was a response to that.
blablabla… You are champion someone of social importance that argues that medical personal that aides in gender transformation is CRIMINALS.
Peterson makes the argument that pride used to be a sin. He clearly believes that it is. Now if it is not a sin then people like Trump really should face no criticism for his hubris. Personally I think you find him to be profoundly dangerous and deeply guilty of sin. His point is that the individual in question, you referred to her by what was it called, “a dead name” or whatever the gender police call such a crime, he sees the same pride in ‘the person we are referring to. As a public figure making a public announcement over a surgery, that person is influencing other young people in ways without any self conscious awareness of prideful sinning. That person is thus committing the crime of pride, assuming oneself being sinless while actually unaware it is really is sinful to suggest to other people it is not sinful by engaging is public display and speech about the surgery.
Bye. Sorry if the Peterson thing didn’t work out so well. I know you hadn’t anticipated your bias would so easily reveal itself to be shallow. Maybe don’t bother to react to my posts if you aren’t serious about hashing them out.
Yaknow, it's hard to take seriously an illiberal aristocratic academic elitist who tries to change his external reality by preaching to other people that they shouldn't try to change their external realities until they've fixed themselves internally.. and then almost kills himself from anti-anxiety medication overdose. We're all imperfect. I get that, and am not judging. I'm just adverse to hypocrisy. Especially the kind of hypocrisy that is cynically crafted to oppress and otherwise keep people down.
The most interesting point in the interview, in my opinion, was Tyson asking Shapiro why he cared. I find the same issue with Peterson. What is at root in each that causes that difference in perspective. For me personally, it seems like a difference in ego. Tyson, in my opinion, demonstrates a profound sense of comfort in his own skin, a certainty that the world is right, that truth does not need his help. He has a much greater ego presence for a complete lack on my part to have a name for what I am struggling to describe, by the presence of deep humility. He is not inwardly or neurotically impelled to have answers to moral guestions because I think he has not been infected with what I would call Shapiro’s and Peterson’s guilt trip, for lack of a better word.
The sin of pride refers to excessive self-regard, not the existence of any self-regard at all, so basically that destroys your entire argument.
