What are the details on him being a dropout? It makes his request to all universities everywhere even funnier to think that he couldn't even handle Chemistry 101 or microeconomics or whatever other cakewalks drunk 18-year-olds excel at while acting like human beings and not being fat.

Parallel Paraplegic posted:A while ago NPR had a story of this blind guy who perfected his ability to use echolocation to get around, and he was driven to do this by a powerful drive to be independent that also left him with a crushing fear of getting close to people. He described having nightmares of "hands coming out of darkness and trying to hug me" I should look this up and talk about it with my therapist.

Tesseraction posted:Yessssss, he captured the point in the Kristi Winters debate where he responded to a question that (in context) asked "What other analytical framework than feminism can you use to examine gender-related issues?" and his response was just "I don't know, I don't care." It struck me that he probably just didn't understand the basic premise of the question. Like if pressed he would probably say the notion of an analytical framework goes against Science. Because you're acknowledging your own specific perspective on something, which isn't Objective.

That would be fair except the question was asked multiple times in multiple different ways and he dodged it every time until that one. And afterwards she gave him examples of non-feminist frameworks and he still refused to pick one.

Jack Gladney posted:Now I want to know what kind of problem could excuse that kind of behavior. Impulse control problems don't explain where the MRA content came from. Paranoid schizophrenia, maybe? I can sure see that interacting nastily with MRA ideology. Maybe if you're in the wrong spot on the autistic spectrum, alternatively, and latched onto the wrong social rulebook to cover for your total lack of innate instincts for dealing with people. Really, though, there's a lot of ways the human brain can go really badly wrong. Many of them will, indeed, result in you behaving like a total dick because you genuinely don't understand that that's what you're being.

I'm not sure how we'd have ever developed modern technology as fast as we did without all the social and philosophical stuff that came from the renaissance and the enlightenment and the other things that directly led to modern society but I'm pretty sure they think technology / "hard" science just sort of happens in a vacuum separately from the rest of culture anyway

You unlock a project, you put resources into it until it's done and you unlock the next part of the tech-tree. No gaps in knowledge, no practical difficulties etc. Just "Do science - Get technology". It's what happens when your thoughts about society are mainly informed by Civilization and Sim City.

You can say, "I believe (theoretical framework X) is flawed," and that doesn't put you on the hook to describe exactly what will replace it or where the replacement will come from at all. Of course, Carl Benjamin is not loving qualified to speak on the validity of feminism as an academic discipline, but that's not the point. I though that part of the debate was an annoying stretch of them refusing so hard to acknowledge where the other person came from that they weren't able to talk intelligibly to each other at all, and it actually made Dr. Winters look a little worse because expectations are higher for an academic to justify and explain their field of study. Could be my memory is off, but I remember thinking it boiled down to: Dr. Winters: Feminism has done enough work to have a solid base, like evolution or Newtonian mechanics. It will be built upon but not supplanted. Benjamin: No, it's a fad, and it will be subsumed into philosophy, mathematics, whatever. The battleground there is not, "Well, which is it, philosophy or mathematics??" It's like, "No, it's solid because of (lectures)", or, "LOL what the gently caress do you even know about feminism really?"

Of course, Carl Benjamin is not loving qualified to speak on the validity of feminism as an academic discipline, but that's not the point. Oh I agree she didn't always hold her arguments to a formal debate standard, it's more that she's arguing with someone so far off the standards that I would probably have dropped into dunking on him too. I would say 'to my discredit' but really his entire contributions to that debate were simply bizarre. The opening statements being her giving a valid and good faith definition of feminism and explanation of how she comes to the conclusion that it's a force for good in the world. Then he pops in with COLLEGE CAMPUSES SJWS WOMEN ARE OVER-PRIVILEGED ALREADY. At that point I just lamented that the debate would not be an interesting examination of the anti-feminist perspective but a bloated beardlord being a dick for 90 minutes. At that point where she asks "well which is it?" I have a feeling she was cheekily leading him into rhetorical bear traps to show how ridiculous he was. Poor formal debate form, but leads to funnier quotes.

In fairness, he was the one who suggested that there are other theoretical approaches in a vague insinuation that she thinks the one she uses is just her favorite one and she's ignoring other options. Asking "Like what?" is completely fair at that point.

Asking "Like what?" is completely fair at that point. That wasn't even a difficult question, and his response of "I don't care" showed everything that needed to be shown. He doesn't know enough about theoretical frameworks on a concept level to be able to reasonably say what is wrong with feminism. He didn't need to suggest a competing framework or a 'correct' one. He just needed to display that he knew that other frameworks even exist beyond his personal source-of-all-evil boogeyman. And he couldn't even manage that.

I don't like desires like these, but I hope he gets early-onset Alzheimer's or AIDS, but lives a normal lifespan that ends up just being really expensive or unenjoyable. Maybe the AIDS can come from a black-market transfusion purchased from an Indian or Pakistani blood farm.
