Time Text
How do you know what exists or not?
Right?
Oh my gosh.
It depends on what you mean by valid.
So far, so good.
They are each valid and being called gods.
So there are multiple gods that exist.
It depends on what you mean by valid.
So far, so good.
So, so far, Jordan Peterson has absolutely no problem with this young woman saying, That everyone has different views on God.
Therefore, these different views of God all exist as gods in the external universe.
And it's like, what the living hell is going on here?
I feel like I'm being flushed down a intergalactic wolf lodge to a toilet into a madhouse.
I got to tell you, like, oh my God.
What do you say?
Oh my gosh, that's wild.
Depends on what you mean by valid, because I would say that some foundational conceptions don't play out when they're implemented.
Okay, some foundational conceptions.
Okay.
Some foundational conceptions don't play out when they're implemented.
What does it mean to implement a foundational conception?
Some foundation.
Oh, don't play out when they're implemented.
I'm sorry, don't be the laugh.
There's not an argument.
Because I would say that some foundational conceptions don't play out when they're implemented.
Does he mean communism?
What does he mean?
Some foundations don't play out when they're implemented.
Jordan Peterson is not going to debate me.
Come on, man.
So if you put the wrong thing at the foundation, you end up in hell, for example.
That's what happens in totalitarian states.
Oh, yeah.
So he's talking about communism, fascism.
Okay.
So they're not all equal.
Like, all foundational principles are not equal, even though they might be equally foundation.
Right.
Yes.
Everything you call a foundation to a house is not as good as everything else.
If you make water as the foundation of your house or fish, you're not going to do as well as if you use, say, concrete.
So, yes, I'm with him on that.
Right.
So what makes one kind of foundational tenet, like, better than another one?
That's an excellent question.
Iterability?
I mean, please.
God almighty.
Can we give ideas that are useful to the people, right?
I mean, I've worked very hard over the last 40 years to try and develop and communicate complex arguments that are useful to your life.
Just complex arguments that are useful to your life.
The non-aggression principle, self-ownership, free will, peaceful parenting, you name it, right?
Definition of love.
I'm like, iterability.
Yeah.
Okay, so if y 'all can just take your foundational concepts and implement them in the world according to iterability, if you could just get that shit done, man.
It's like, if your ideas aren't important enough to make comprehensible to the general population, it's bullshit.
It's bullshit.
I don't...
I don't...
We're facing a massive moral crisis in the world while your foundational concepts need to be implemented according to their iterability.
Got that?
It's like, how does this help?
I aim for sort of a bottom IQ 90, right?
and I'm not calling you guys IQ90, of course, right?
But I aim in my communication, like if you're writing instructions for...
I think it's grade 6 now you have to write for.
So I sort of bottom out.
I aim to have comprehensible communications to people at about IQ 90 and above.
Below that, you're into the, what did you have?
If you didn't have breakfast yesterday morning, what would your experience be?
Well, I did have breakfast.
Like, below, right?
Where you could probably have any kind of abstract discussion.
But 90 plus is pretty good.
That's the majority of the world.
I don't know man
