Never said that was the case, Agustino. There are certainly decent right-wing views, but they aren't well espoused by Peterson, Shapiro and other hack...
Please, call me Maw. Mr. Maw is my father. Agustino's comment pertained to hierarchy tout court. "Patriarchy" wasn't a qualifier, so I'll ignore it in...
Except I didn't put them in the same category. I put them on a spectrum, ranging from Peterson and Shapiro on one end, to InfoWars on the other. You c...
I am saying you are an exemplar of manipulation via hyper-partisan tactics, including the objective of the NRA (albeit, non-American). The rise of hyp...
As I've told you before, the notion that the contemporary American "Left" is reducible to identity politics is false. It is as inane as reducing the c...
Damn Agustino, when did you transform into a stereotype of contemporary Right-Wing agitprop? If there was a bingo game formed out of such nonsensical ...
No, Hitchens certainly demonstrated Islamophobia, but it didn't have as strong an impact into the decline of New Atheism, as Harris' Islamophobia did,...
New Atheism lost its vitality years ago, after Hitchens died, Harris started spouting Islamophobic garbage, and Dawkin's defending pedophilia. Atheism...
Trump has repeatedly shown a reluctance to condemn white supremacists of various stripes. However, he is quick to criticize the classmates of those re...
Ironically, these few statements are loaded with fallacies. Irrespective of whether some users have claimed that removing guns will remove violent psy...
"Few crimes are more harshly forbidden in the Old Testament than sacrifice to the god Moloch (for which see Leviticus 18.21, 20.1-5). The sacrifice re...
An increase of guns is correlated with an increase in gun violence. This is a fact across countries and even across states. It would stand to reason, ...
Agustino, when you quickly dance around your statements, you'll inevitably trip. You previously claimed that, "Peterson actually agrees that hierarchi...
Both. It was my username from an older forum I had joined back in '06. Um, ok Agustino, whatever you say. Peterson goes on a short rant on Lobster-Hum...
Nassim Taleb has a new book coming out, but I'm debating whether or not I should buy it. From Fooled By Random onward (excluding his aphorism work) hi...
To pair Diderot's political and philosophical thought with Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu demonstrates a superficial understanding of them. Dider...
Ah yes, "Tell The Truth". Such profound and original advice! A real modern day Buddha. If you are over the age of 14 and require someone to tell you t...
I spent an hour or two reading/skimming Peterson's 12 Rules of Life, and I can't fathom how anyone could possibly find it useful. It's mainly filled w...
Can you not understand the insanity of this statement? "Solving" the problem after it occurs only enables it to occur endlessly. Which it has. The 2nd...
If drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes doesn't "correlate to the age of responsibility" (i.e. 18), in what Kafka-esque world do we live in where o...
But this is peripheral, and ignores the fundamental issue: should private civilians have access to guns, and if so, what restrictions/regulations shou...
Has there been any interesting trends/developments in philosophy within the last few years? Speculative realism (while not a movement per say), produc...
As has been pointed out, the Ontological argument is a sophistic display of thaumaturgical witchery, whereby mere words and definitions are able to co...
You aren't seriously suggesting that left sociologists and political scientists have ignored poverty or consider it a "micro-culture" or an exclusivel...
Yes, being a Black American can provide unique experiences that help better qualify someone to discuss and debate political issues related to Black/mi...
No Agustino, what would be worrying is if America voted for a white male president regardless of qualifications and competency. Use Hilary Clinton as ...
Are you incapable of seeing the asymmetry of power, both historical and modern, of women and blacks between white males in America? For fuck's sake, A...
No Augustino, purposely using obfuscatory language such as "aborted newborns" is chicanery, and you use it a a crux to evade my point entirely when I ...
Perhaps, but Sanders (arguably more social democrat than socialist, despite the self-epithet) nevertheless lost the Democratic candidacy to the decide...
It's amazing how, in 2018, people think Marxism is viable threat to American society. I vividly remember in 2010 how in vogue reading Marx was. Who wo...
Since when do newborn babies lack the right to life? And is that really all you have to say? Circular and laughably naive, no wonder you readily subsc...
Identity politics have been part of American politics for decades. It is not a recent phenomenon. The identity movements have contributed to civil rig...
Saying a being existed "before time" is saying that there is a time external to time, which is incoherent. It is like asking what's North of the North...
The biggest skepticism and contention I have with UBI is that it's frequently used by libertarian-types to substitute and replace services the governm...
Yes, Agustino, I mentioned Peterson (he was brought up before I mentioned him, however), and now I am ending the conversation lest we further digress ...
