Percentage Of Good Faith Correctors
00:03:22

|
| But let me ask you this. | |
| Here's another audience participation question. | |
| Let me ask you this: what percentage of people, let's just say online, what percentage of people online want to correct you in good faith? | |
| In other words, hey, you know, you're making an error. | |
| I want to help and here's a better argument or here's where I think you went astray or something like that. | |
| What percentage of people online are correcting you in good faith? | |
| And that is always an interesting question. | |
| Less than 5%? | |
| Is that what you're saying? | |
| Less than 5%? | |
| It's not as common as it should be. | |
| It absolutely is not as common as it should be. | |
| About 2% to 5%, I'm optimistic enough to say a whole 5%. | |
| How does it feel to play stadiums again? | |
| Feels the same as before? | |
| No. | |
| I remember Mick Jagger saying, you know, if you're playing a nightclub, it's very different from playing a stadium. | |
| It's a whole different focus and energy. | |
| So it's a little bit more. | |
| Joe says 10%, 10% of people online are correcting you in good faith. | |
| All right. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| That's good to know. | |
| I was going to say to the people on X, let me know if you can't post a message. | |
| Kevin says, 20%. | |
| Nice. | |
| Nice. | |
| 3% of my real audience, 80% are strangers. | |
| Oh, of my real audience, 80% are strangers, perhaps 2%. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| So to me, it's always interesting to know whether or not people are correcting you in good faith. | |
| If they're not correcting you in good faith, I mean, you can say they could have a good argument even if they're malicious. | |
| I mean, that's true. | |
| Technically, it's true. | |
| But you could also jump out of a plane and land without injury some way, right? | |
| But don't do it, right? | |
| Technically, you can win the lottery, but don't play the lottery. | |
| It's just a tax on mathematical ignorance. | |
| So once I have established a lack of good faith, I'm out. | |
| You can't heal people who manipulate in that kind of way. | |
| You can't fix them and you're not going to get anything valuable out of them. | |
| And maybe you feel like, oh, if I expose this person, then other people will see it, but that's not your job. | |
| That's not your sort of service. | |
| Other people are saying 2% to 5%, 10%. | |
| Somebody says 25%, but I spend a lot of my time on technical message boards. | |
| Yeah, that's fair. | |
| Technical message boards for sure. | |
| So on Reddit, none. | |
| Yeah, that's probably quite true. | |
| That's probably quite true. | |
| Putting the commie red in Reddit. | |
| So I posted a request for YouTube to restore my YouTube channel. | |
| And somebody wrote, this dude helped to rip apart so many families and relationships. | |

Morality Without Faith

|
| Right? | |
| And I said, spreading malicious rumors is a sin, my friend, because, you know, that is a malicious rumor and there's no evidence and it's just a me podcasting, me doing some videos, me writing some books has torn apart so many families and relationships. | |
| I don't see how that would particularly follow, but there's no example, right? | |
| So I said, spreading malicious rumors is a sin, my friend. | |
| And he said, not sure why you would invoke fairy tale concepts. | |
| So boom, right? | |
| You know, you know, atheist, right? | |
| You know, atheist. | |
| And Fedora wearer. | |
| And, well, actually, right? | |
| I mean, you just, you just know. | |
| And this is what I said on the stream the other day on the Twitter spaces. | |
| Are you still an atheist? | |
| I'm like, well, I can't stand atheists for the most part. | |
| You know, present company accepted. | |
| If you're an atheist, I mean, you're into philosophy. | |
| But so he has no basis for his morality. | |
| It's really, really important to understand. | |
| Atheists outside of UPB, outside of universally preferable behavior, atheists have no, none, zero basis for their morality. | |
| Zero. | |
| It's all vague Darwinian in-group preference evolution. | |
| Although they don't accept in-group preferences in certain groups. | |
| It's all the greatest good for the greatest number. | |
| That's just a mealy-mouthed avoidance of the actual question or the actual issue. | |
| It's all, oh, generic being nice and being good and doing good for you. | |
| It's no basis. | |
| If you don't believe in God, your morality becomes rank superstition, which is much worse. | |
| Much worse. | |
| Religious people have a basis for their morality. | |
| Moral, universal, objective, not rational. | |
| It's religious, faith, right, not reason. | |
| But the moment somebody says, I'm an atheist, again, UPB is not spread like wildfire. | |
| I guess like wildfire in a heavy rain of anti-morality. | |
| But it's really, so the moment somebody says sin is a fairy tale concept, he's saying there's no such thing as sin, which is obviously immoral behavior. | |
