He keeps the fire burning by choice. I think he likes to portray himself as a victim of attacks from critics, and he wants everyone to know that he’s this victim of attacks from critics.
He likes the attention because he’s a little narcissist. And full of hubris, so he lies about who he is, what he’s doing, and shields himself with victimhood so he can feel ultramormony.

that's the same pattern that MG exhibits. Must be a Mormon man thing.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

LOL

I would normally be against the use of AI to spread misinformation but since the target of the video runs an entire sham journal dedicated to ahistorical conspiracy theories about the pre-Columbian Americas, I think it’s rather fitting.

When Oxford University begins teaching a class on Lamanite culture and religious studies, perhaps I’ll change my mind.

Folks, the mask has finally slipped. Now that the Afore has openly admitted to making a fortune from Mopologetics, his previous attacks on Dr. Scratch look even worse. An apology for years of lying is the absolute least the Afore can do.

I’m not aware of any current Utah law that may prevent a deepfake vid to be used for general parody purposes (and steering clear of political, commercial and revenge porn usage), but the content here might be treading into a legal grey zone. I’d like for Shades to give his permission first before the link is restored. Apologies for being a party pooper for now. -c-
Regardless, this post belonged in the AI thread from the start. At the very least it should be moved there. I also think a post like this weakens any genuine criticism being made about Interpreter. It just legitimises Peterson’s bemoaning of this board. Everybody Wang Chung scores an own goal with this one as far as I’m concerned.

I am NOT a fan of AI fakes. It’s awful.
