that pretty much sums it up perfectly

@gorgoroth1919 that doesn't help his case lol

so a jewish man can't understand the plight of black people? How do you know if he understands or not?

And even then, there's no apology needed. Because the racial climate at the moment, seeing a noose in the garage door of the only black person in NASCAR justifies the worry.

@@mannysikario And a Nascar official was the first to report it. Not one of the Bubba's crew.

@@MrDeedsly didn't knew that, thanks.

Bullshit. People demand an apology from him because he went on a TV media to give an interview about bad NASCAR and its fans AFTER the investigation said that it was a door restraining knot, not a noose.

@@alex_roivas333 best one

He's just a comedian that would lose his ass if he wanted to debate them in science and math.. His education level is a comedian and he dropped out of law school to be a comedian lol. He's lucky to hve this show and involved in politics otherwise he's be back to rubbing two quarters together.. It's all true and by his own mouth lol

It’s great

Ruthless, composed and thorough. I think watching Sam debate people is one of the best illustrations of socratic method.

Sam is a wimp with the education of a comedian. Dropped out of law school after only one year to be a comic, and that's all he is. Not a scientist or one that can critique one.

If he's not educated on the subject as another he can't win

As an example. I'm a coder. I design software. I did it for decades. There is no way in hell that he can debate me on that subject!! I'd debate him any time lol. He'd be afraid of me.

Part of Weinstein's message is to fight the idea that there is a huge racial problem in America, so he doesn't really see this as a third rail thing to say.

Sounds ableist but okay

But I have autistic friends so it's okay. 😜

Sometimes the app is glitchy while the site is fine, too. Not everything like that is automatically censorship and shadowbanning... But hey, maybe it was in this case, idrk.

That's because Sam is an entertaining comedian as opposed to a boring scientist, so that's understandable that it would "make your night". A scientific education doesn't make anyones night that are surfing through entertaining podcasts like you.

@@antimediaman9354 It ain't that deep my dude. Also, I have an MS degree and work in tech, so not averse to the "boring scientist".

Your masters degree in tech has nothing to do with, and is not Germane to my post.

Exactly. They fear sam, simple as that.

Underrated post

Dope post

Sam Harris is a race realist. A race realist is a euphemism. He promoted the Bell Curve and was all butthurt that the author wasn't given a platform. He has no qualms however not to debate Sam Seder, because his ideas are not aligned with his. It tells you really who Sam Harris really is.

@@gonzothegreat1317 race realism is fucking scary

Darth Wheezius maybe but since he won’t reveal it to the scientific community for scrutiny we will never know... the hubris though...

Why is there a comment here about Sam Harris and why is the Charles Murray stuff brought up? Because that's the pet troll Seder uses on Harris, of course. Not that Seder isn't right about Weinstein in this instance, he clearly is, but mocking has its place and Seder's show frequently goes beyond. MB is especially insufferable. IDW is mostly assholes, but with regard to their complaints on cancel culture they are not wrong and Seder is.

@@craigsj no, they are wrong about cancel culture, because a great deal of what they consider to be "cancel culture" is just them complaining about trivial nonsense while they go out of their way to avoid any kind of rigorous intellectual discussion with any kind of leftist who knows what they're talking about, all the while complaining about leftists shutting down discussion

@@sirius1696 Is this post your idea of a "rigorous intellectual discussion"? You may view "a great deal" of their points as "trivial nonsense" but that ignores the not "trivial nonsense", even assuming that your unsupported claim is true. Trivializing issues is literally an attempt at "shutting down discussion". Well done. "any kind of leftist who knows what they're talking about" - this shows that you view this as a partisan issue. I do not support the IDW as any group that claims JP and Shapiro as members is not worthy of my time. Cancel culture, however, is real; it's only defended here because it's a primary tool of Seder's program. I like Seder, though I despise his sidekick and I found their character attacks during the primaries really offensive. Also again, none of this has anything to do with Sam Harris or, frankly, the IDW at all.

Blocking isn't cancelling, but I'm sure there are some who feel that it is.

It’s not, obviously, but according to the IDW frame it’s the primary threat to western civilisation itself. Because they’re fucking babies who don’t understand freedom of speech.

Of course it is.

I know right!!! And I try to share clips with my gf from the show. But this petty shit is way too arcane for her. But it is so fun how Sam is very methodical about all of this.

Nothin wrong with enjoying the petty bullshit X) there might be something wrong with creating petty bullshit. But if other people are gonna do it anyway... may as well kick back with some popcorn and enjoy the show X)

Lol wow, he does.. I won’t be able to see him without thinking of this, but it’s appropriate.

A regular ben carson

But he speaks in a continuous train of thought.

Honestly

Tom Hagen "The IDW is like “the hill rising” Seemingly open minded and fair to all sides, yet the overall agenda is to minimize the left and accentuate the right

But are you a contrarian tho?

Proves on some level the intellectual rigor of Sam's audience, wherever else, whenever I _try_ to point out that the authors of the paper have said when asked that the most frustrating thing about discovering the Dunning-Kruger Effect is that people "try to use it to explain stupid people," even though everyone will come under its spell at one point or another, in fact intelligent people might be more likely to fall victim to it, because they're more confident in their abilities; crickets.

futurestoryteller - except no one is disputing that, merely pointing out exactly what you just said: instances of people falling foul of it

@@futurestoryteller I see, so a member of Sam's audience (me) points out that Weinstein doesn't understand the Duning-Kruger effect, and you conclude from that that Sam's audience doesn't understand it lol. I'm impressed with your intellectual rigor, you're well on your way to becoming an IDW hero.

@@adamrisch Oh my god, I take it back you people are both morons. It wasn't sarcasm. I was literally complimenting Sam's audience. You're both well on your way to becoming IDW heroes.

@@futurestoryteller Or maybe instead of us being "morons" you need to express yourself a little better? Troll responses are commonplace in these threads, as I'm sure you're aware. But if you intended a compliment then thank you, and I take back my sarcasm.

Do you think thats an important measure?

Absolutely.

@@waksibra Yeah I guess. I was somewhat amicable to Bret until he started doing some Rubin-tear grifting.

@@deoxyribomorph99 Can you explain what that means? Rubin-tear grifting?

@@waksibra So he claims to be a progressive, but most of his fans are conservatives or libertarians, right? Basically, he chooses to only talk about buzz topics that right wingers, centrists, and libertarians like to talk about incessantly, while avoiding giving his opinions on other issues that his fanbase would not respond well to, because doing so would hurt his bottom line i.e., his patreon money would take a hit. How often do you hear him talk about stuff like Medicare for all, or systemic racial injustice? To grift is basically to assume positions that you don't actually believe in so that you can get money from people who hold those positions and will take a liking to you. Alternatively, as Bret does, you can grift by just avoiding topics all together and pandering to people by focusing on a single topic they're obsessed with (free speech is under attack, leftist plot to overthrow America, blah blah blah)

I'd feel more sorry for people oppressed by religion than for their religious oppressors, but you do you.

Yes. Religions have different levels of oppressive tendencies and it's apparent these days.

@@seto749 I work to fight oppression, irrespective of oppressors. I also think labeling an entire religion as oppressors when that is not accurate leads to oppression of said religious grouping.

How about the internet is the anus and Twitter is a boil on the hemmerroids of it! It's all pretty gross.

@@dontcare3430 The internet as a whole has actually increased public awareness on important matters by an order of magnitude. It's like fire. If stupid people mess with it, it's bad but fortunately that's just an annoying minority who happen to number in the tens of millions.

I'm not familiar with that. What evidence is there that he lied?

Returnality - happy to help! :) He resigned claiming that he was being constantly hectored in the wake of his refusal to participate in a compulsory day of absence. In fact, the day of absence was voluntary, and he emailed the school’s mailing list a rant about how the day was an example of reverse racism, then nothing happened for two months. In this time, two black people were arrested on trumped-up charges, and, two months after the email incident, a protest of this arrest took place in a quad near where he happened to be teaching. He proceeded to go out and confront these protestors, whose noise was disturbing his class. It is at this point that he resigned. So to recap, he *resigned* (meaning that if anything this is a self-cancellation) *two months after* he got so triggered by an *optional* event that he had to email *everyone on campus* a rant about reverse racism, because a *random* group of students *happened* to be protesting a *completely unrelated* event. He then proceeded to build a career as the “cancelled professor of Evergreen State”.

Matt Brenneman Yeah, always so many missed opportunities. Lefties rarely dunk to the fullest.

🤣🤣🤣 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Perfect!

It's as if Weinstein saw the potential "you say I say" moment and then used it as a way out of discussion without ever addressing his parallels with Black Americans while demanding public apology in one go. It's unfortunate that Seder didn't keep bringing it up... or maybe he was about to before getting blocked? Idk. Either way, I honestly can't see any possibility of him going to Seder's show willingly had the tweets been nicer.

But surely, you understand that a person like that (Weinstien) is unwilling to engage somebody like Sam because there might be merit to their arguments, which would make Weinstien look less intelligent. This was the only kind of engagement Sam was ever going to get from a member of the IDW, so he settled for petty feud. Remember, it's an echo chamber they operate in. The whole purpose of Sam trying to get under their skin is to attempt to disrupt the echo, and expose their viewers to alternative perspectives. The IDW keeps it petty so they don't have to engage on real issues.

I think the comma after "it's nothing" alters the meaning of the sentence in a way that was not intended.

Yeah, I gotta disagree with Sam on this one. I really don't think he understands the experience of neurodivergent people. There is a lot of overlap and as you've said, it is harder in some areas and easier in others.

There are a lot of people in the world, and a lot of information. We all do our own distillation. When intelligent people are surrounded by morons, they tend to "block" out the lowest of the low.

@@TheAlibabatree Ahahaha. Right, so " intelligent people" are defined by blocking out people you surmise must be morons. Are you a celebrity fan boi? How pathetic. What illogical and pathetic unreasoned excuse- making for your heroes. Grow up!
