We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Oh right, I keep forgetting about y'all's statistical tire fire. Gonna mail my copy of Thinking Fast and Slow back to Kahneman and make him fix it.

fwiw Kahneman is generally considered One of the Good Ones, at least as far as widely influential lay psych writing goes. He retracted the whole chapter of Thinking Fast and Slow that was based on bad research, and wrote a lengthy apology with later editions.

Mind you, I still don't trust the quality of that area of research very much, but that's pretty remarkable.

If you think that's the worst thing about him you need to reassess your priorities.

None of my priorities involve YouTube or the people who post videos to it.

I haven't watched all his videos or read his biography, so of all of his attributes I have no clue which is the worst.

The problem with being able to be so wrong that you can go overseas to gently caress exploited children and then return home and act like it's no big deal is that you might end up going overseas to gently caress exploited children.

I think for people capable of being that continuously wrong, your best case scenario is that you end up like Liz Truss.

Plenty of people have rich-and-bored their way into inventing cool things (although they only make up about 0.01% of the rich and bored so that doesn't excuse the rest), I'm not sure how many have stupided their way into that.

Is he talking about a WarHammer 40k role play session or has he fallen that far down the ubermensch rabbit hole?

Also Christ I will never get out over how he looks like someone just min/max'd every slider on the Skyrim character creator and went "gently caress it, why not? Play."

I had nothing to do with THAT.
Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk debates Razorfist on Drunken Peasants on a number of topics including healthcare, conservatism, etc:

Now I'm not a fan of Drunken Peasants, nor am I that big on Kulinski's New Atheist leanings, but I thought this might be entertaining for some people here.

It's kind of a thing, the alt right are all edgelords, being contrarian is part of the point, like the dark enlightenment they are attracted to it because they want the image of being the person who understands the hard truths, which is why it overlaps with new atheism because that's all wrapped up in being super grimdark about your atheism.

Thing is that a lot of these "truths" are manufactured, we actually don't need inequality, or ethnic homogeneity, or fascism, they aren't actually helpful, the solution are actually much nicer, but they don't like that idea because it's hard to make "by collective human labour we can make the world better" sound edgy.

If you can't make gulags for kulaks and reeducation camps for fash sound edgy, you're not trying at all.

do mouthy buddha and bunty and sargon and all know that the jews of europe were mostly poor and powerless? you don't target the powerful when you need a scapegoat that's the point of the scapegoat.

it's honestly pissing me off because the holocaust is probably the thing i know the most about. it is the worst crime humanity has committed and these fucks are making "both sides" videos about it.

the jewish question is how could one people be hosed over time and time again and still some people never learn.
