Gemli might be an asshole. DCP might be an asshole. However as most professional debators point out their goal isn't to convince their interlocutor. The audience is the target. Furthermore if redundancy is the metric that we measure performance then most courses should be abolished. Most exercise pr...

What does DCP mean by objective public proof? Happiness surveys? Lifespan? I missed something here.

John Hammer would agree. He thinks that when Martin Harris was having problems with seeing the plates Joseph had to lead him out in the woods and give him leading self reflective testimony of what he should be seeing. Almost like a hypnotist does with those group hypnotists shows. He thinks he did ...

It may be that the argument can be improved.

42 vs 69 orders of magnitude. Rushclock has been watching conversations here. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

Interesting take on gemli's performance art. I don't think he considers his posts as attempts to change Peterson's mind, but rather an attempt to accomplish what Jenkins defined as an obligation to call out the falsely manufactured gravitas of psuedo-science for what it is. I think that exactly tha...

This reddit thread talks about the strange silence regarding Ballard from Mormons and Exmormons:
