Jordan Peterson vs Andrew Tate
00:09:15
|
|
| You're a Christian. | |
| You say that. | |
| I haven't claimed that. | |
| Oh, what is this? | |
| Is this Christians versus atheist? | |
| I don't know. | |
| You don't know where you are right now. | |
| Don't be a smart ass. | |
| Well, and I mean to you if you're a smart ass. | |
| Oh, either you're a Christian or you're not. | |
| Which one is it? | |
| Danny, you are the smart ass in the room, according to Jordan. | |
| People can see the frustration that we have with Peterson. | |
| I would say that atheists are not the only ones that are frustrated. | |
| Christians are. | |
| We have two gay theists on the panel that have said that I've seen it. | |
| This kind of behavior. | |
| Look at this behavior. | |
| It's called a joke. | |
| They're funny, Jay Diary. | |
| Best behavior is absolutely. | |
| That's too much pain. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I thought we're supposed to be loving to thy neighbor. | |
| You don't know what loving means. | |
| Let's all talk over each other. | |
| When 20 committed atheists recently took on Professor Jordan Peterson as part of Jubilee's surrounded series, it's fair to say it got quite intense, especially for Dr. Peterson. | |
| Two exchanges in particular took the internet by storm. | |
| So do you believe in the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good notion of God? | |
| What do you mean by believe? | |
| Do you think it to be true? | |
| That's the circular definition. | |
| What do you mean by believe? | |
| How is that circular? | |
| Because you added no content to the answer by substituting the word true and believe. | |
| I said, you think it to be true? | |
| You're a Christian. | |
| You say that. | |
| I haven't claimed that. | |
| Oh, what is this? | |
| Is this Christians versus atheist? | |
| I don't know. | |
| You don't know where you are right now. | |
| Don't be a smart ass. | |
| Well, either you're a Christian or you're not. | |
| Either you're a Christian or you're not. | |
| Which one is it? | |
| Okay, so you're saying that you don't believe something if you wouldn't die for it? | |
| Not really, no. | |
| Okay. | |
| So then. | |
| How would you define belief? | |
| Something you say? | |
| I guess why I explain, like, I could believe it is the case that this pen exists, but if someone like threatened my life, right, I would lie in order to be able to save my life, right? | |
| Like, I think you would do that too. | |
| You wouldn't lie to save your life. | |
| Don't be so sure. | |
| You wouldn't lie to save your life? | |
| I think everyone should look at the title of the YouTube channel. | |
| You're probably in the wrong YouTube video. | |
| You're really quite something, you are. | |
| Aren't I? | |
| But you're really quite nothing. | |
| Right? | |
| You're not a Christian. | |
| I'm done with him. | |
| Well, now, in the wake of that video, one of Peterson's young inquisitors posted on X, Peterson was no Christian. | |
| Let's move on. | |
| Are there any actual Christians that want to debate? | |
| Which is quite the challenge. | |
| But one that, of course, we on uncensored are only too keen to facilitate. | |
| So making their uncensored debut from the Danny Film Talk channel, Danny Shaw, and Parker from the Parker Get a Job channel. | |
| And we've arranged for them to take on two of the most notorious and fearsome debaters on the internet who also happen to be conservative Christians, the king of blood sport debating, Andrew Wilson from the Crucible, and the equally forthright author, comedian, and commentator, Jay Dyer from the Jay Dyer channel. | |
| Welcome to all four of you. | |
| Well, let me start with you, Parker. | |
| Were you surprised by the reaction to what went down with Jordan Peterson? | |
| Actually, no. | |
| I was actually expecting this to happen as I knew before this, as I watched the Alex O'Connor debate against Jordan Peterson, that he was very, very not likely to, you know, like being associated with Christianity. | |
| So I knew actually going into this that I was going to ask him a question specifically about whether or not he believes this to be the case and that he would likely be not very upfront with his answer. | |
| So I actually kind of expected there to be a response like this. | |
| Now, I didn't expect it to go as viral as it did, as there are literally tens of millions of views on clips associated with mine and Danny's against Jordan Peterson all over social media. | |
| So it's actually really cool to see that everyone across the board, whether they be Christians, atheists, Muslims, right, et cetera, actually see that he's really not wanting to answer the question there because he doesn't want to be associated with Christianity for some reason. | |
| And Danny, I mean, you were the smartass in the room, according to Jordan. | |
| What's been your reaction to the fallout? | |
| I'm generally happy that people can see the frustration that we have with Peterson. | |
| I would say that atheists are not the only ones that are frustrated. | |
| Christians are, right? | |
| Here we have Peterson saying things like, yeah, I think Jesus might have resurrected, but I don't know what that means. | |
| Yeah, I might be a Christian in some sense. | |
| I'm a one-of-a-kind Christian. | |
| It's all wishy-washy. | |
| We're all frustrated. | |
| And I think that the video is the culmination of that frustration. | |
| Okay, well, the good news, like I told you, is we found two far from shy Christians to take you on in this arena. | |
| Andrew Wilson, let me start with you. | |
| What was your reaction to these two and their showdown with Jordan Peterson? | |
| I mean, I kind of have to agree with Danny a little bit. | |
| It's like, he, you know, like people have been wanting this guy to take the position on whether he's a Christian or not a Christian forever on the right, the left, center, basically across the board. | |
| Now, I'll always be in some ways grateful to Jordan Peterson. | |
| He was one of the first who kind of started the trend of standing up to the pronouns people, which was pretty epic to watch. | |
| But, you know, ultimately, you know, he's kind of a shell of his former self. | |
| He didn't look great going through that debate. | |
| He looked kind of run down. | |
| I think that him being on with the Daily Wire probably hasn't been great for him. | |
| He's not kind of the, he doesn't have the kind of edge that he used to have. | |
| But ultimately, I mean, I was actually kind of glad to see it. | |
| You know, it's about time we know. | |
| Are you or aren't you? | |
| You know, get off the shit or get off the pot, essentially, right? | |
| Are you a Christian or aren't you a Christian? | |
| That's, that's a fair question. | |
| And Jay, I mean, ultimately, these two young men on the panel today, they're sworn atheists. | |
| You obviously are not. | |
| So if you were actually conducting a debate about their atheism against your Christianity, how would you take them on, given what happened to Jordan? | |
| Oh, it depends on what you mean, Pierce. | |
| Depends on what you mean. | |
| You know, how would I take them on? | |
| Well, I think there's a lot of different ways that you could critique an atheist position. | |
| Most of the time, I argue from the three branches of philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. | |
| Those are just the three branches of any worldview, and everybody has a worldview, whether they know it consciously or not. | |
| So I would critique the foundations of the atheist materialist worldview to see if it's rational, if it's coherent, if it can provide a justification for knowledge or ethical oughts. | |
| So I think that would have been a much better route. | |
| In fact, Peterson used to kind of take that approach back when he debated Sam Harris. | |
| He would call out the is-aught problem with Sam Harris. | |
| When he debated Matt Dillahunty, he would call out the exact same types of preconditions for a worldview issue that I used to do, or I usually do. | |
| So I think that'd be a better route than just sort of having this ambiguous, you know, Jungian position of non-committal, whatever it is. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I would say to you, Parker and Danny, that I've interviewed Jordan Peterson a lot, maybe five, six times on Uncensored, quite long interviews, often quite emotional. | |
| He's an emotional guy. | |
| I would disagree with Andrew about him losing his edge. | |
| I think he's still got the edge. | |
| I also think that putting aside the whole debate about Christianity and whether he is or not, he's always been oddly ambiguous about it to someone who's so unambiguous about everything else. | |
| But that's his right. | |
| He's entitled to do that. | |
| As a force for good, though, for young men, I do think that in comparison, for example, to Andrew Tate, that Jordan Peterson has been a far better influence over the minds of young men of your kind of age than someone like Andrew Tate would ever be. | |
| Would you agree with that, Parker? | |
| I actually would agree with that, although the bar is literally in hell. | |
| Right. | |
| I mean, you must see some positives in the general messaging that Jordan gives for young men about wanting to improve their lives, wanting to empower themselves, you know, opening up and so on. | |
| Do you accept that about him? | |
| I think it's good to open up and I think it's good for like men to like want to improve their lives, but we also need to be very specific on like what is improving towards their lives. | |
| And I honestly don't think that like Jordan Peterson within all respects would be upholding that. | |
| But sure, I can say he's better than someone like Andrew Tate. | |
| Like I think that's pretty obvious. | |
| Danny, what's your view of Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson when it comes to their influence on young men? | |
| Because it is huge. | |
| With both of them, I can tell you when I walk around, most people under 25 who are male come up and they ask me either about Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson. | |
| Yeah, I feel like the question is like asking a Republican, is Joe Biden better than like Mussolini, right? | |
| I mean, it's such a vast difference. | |
| I would say that it seems like that Jordan Peterson has benefited people, mostly in the psychology realm, like, you know, the whole 12 rules for life and stuff, which a lot of those rules seem to be rules that my grandma could tell Doni. | |
| But granted, the point is, is that, yeah, he's probably helped people. | |
| I have no problem saying that. | |
| All right, Andrew, let's turn to some other issues here. | |
|
The Astroturfed Pride Backlash
00:08:34
|
|
| One is Pride month. | |
| Now, my view of this is I don't understand why we need a whole month for pride. | |
| I don't even get an hour as a straight guy. | |
| So why do we need a month for pride? | |
| And it's not because I'm remotely homophobic because I'm not. | |
| I'm the complete opposite. | |
| I've always absolutely supported gay rights. | |
| I just don't get why we need to have a month of pride. | |

| Well, Pride's always been completely astroturfed. | |
| I mean, to be honest, right from the very beginning, it's been astroturfed. | |
| It was always pumped full of government money, NGO funding. | |
| It was pumped full of corporate money. | |
| There was an article that came out. | |
| You can find in the Drudge Report. | |
| It came out today from, I believe it was Daily Telegram. | |
| It's pretty interesting. | |
| They went over, you know, a lot of the modern Trump administration, what they have done with their executive orders. | |
| A lot of companies have begun moving away from trying to kind of fund this, and it hasn't been popular for the last couple of years anyway. | |
| There's been a lot of pushback on various large corporations, companies, and NGOs for trying to pump kind of artificially these organizations. | |
| One of the things that article points out, which I tend to agree with, is that, hey, look, ultimately, when these companies are doing this, people lose trust for them. | |
| You remember there was a big thing with Target not that long ago. | |
| Anytime this comes to light, there's actually a backlash. | |
| People can kind of see that it's artificially held up. | |
| There's no reason for it. | |
| It's silly. | |
| It has never really been about gay rights. | |
| What do you mean there's no reason for it? | |
| What do you mean? | |
| It's been, well, because it's always been. | |
| There's no reason for it, right? | |
| They're bullies like you. | |
| Do you want me to answer the question or no? | |
| Yeah, you can go ahead and I'll explain to you why I think there's the reason after. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So there's there's no real reason for it. | |
| It's always it's been about pushing sexual perversion. | |
| It's never really been about anything to do with homosexuals themselves not having rights or having rights. | |
| It's never been about that. | |
| It's been about weird gay pride parades and all kinds of weird sexual stuff. | |
| It really has never been about that. | |
| And that's what the American people think. | |
| That's what they see. | |
| That's why you see companies moving away from it. | |
| I don't think that's true. | |
| Look, look, gay people, people like, let's take you, for example, you're the reason, right? | |
| When I first talked to you, right, we were having a normal debate about, I think, morality. | |
| And then you randomly asked me, what's your, you know, are you a homosexual estimate? | |
| Right. | |
| And then also with the message. | |
| But was I right, though? | |
| Was I right? | |
| I'm not a homosexual. | |
| No, I'm not married to people. | |
| You said that you were bisexual. | |
| Homosexual is not always bisexual. | |
| There's certain definitions of terms. | |
| But look, look at that. | |
| People like you and Jay Dyer bully LGBTQ. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's why they bullied pride because of the kind of stigmas that you promote. | |
| Okay. | |
| So here's the thing that's so funny about this is like, if both me and Jay Dyer, both of us assumed that you were a homosexual and both of us were right, that's what's so funny about it. | |
| We both assumed you were right. | |
| And we were both correct, Andrew. | |
| Andrew, is there anything wrong with him being gay? | |
| Is there anything wrong with him being gay? | |
| There's a problem with you guys supporting an NGO-funded kind of astro-turf program to promote rights, which aren't even about promoting rights. | |
| Was that a responsibility? | |
| The whole ordeal here is, well, what's the prompt, Parker? | |
| The prompt is about pride. | |
| And so you're supporting an astroturfed, completely AstroTurfed NGO-funded thing. | |
| It has nothing to do with gay rights at all. | |
| And people don't like it, Parker. | |
| They don't like it, Parker. | |
| Well, Parker, I would ask Parker this. | |
| Look, I mean, look, Andrew, you've said some things which I completely disagree with about this issue. | |
| You said women will never truly understand why men find homosexuality so depraved. | |
| We don't think there's a problem there. | |
| We know there's a problem there. | |
| I'm a man. | |
| I don't find homosexuality remotely depraved. | |
| I think people's sexuality is what it is. | |
| So I don't agree with you with some of the statements you've made. | |
| However, Parker, I am increasingly bemused why, when there are so many important things in the world to worry about, we devote a whole month to gay pride. | |
| Why do we? | |
| There are plenty of things that we specifically have months for to celebrate that I think are incredibly important. | |
| This in this specific example is incredibly important because of the dehumanization and the bigotry espoused specifically by people like Jay Dyer and Andrew Wilson and explicitly kicking people off of their panels because they're gay, right? | |
| Or because they're homosexual, which I think is incredibly ridiculous. | |
| You know as well as I do, Parker. | |
| Well, hang on. | |
| I was saying, if you go back 35, 40 years, I would completely agree with you. | |
| But the idea that that is still the case today, I just don't feel it. | |
| Do you mean certainly young people in particular did not, it's just moved on. | |
| Respectfully, how would you know as a straight person? | |
| Like, how would you, do you experience it? | |
| Why are you assuming my sexuality? | |
| I want to talk about, Piers, I want to talk about my experience when I went viral. | |
| Piers, when I went viral, right? | |
| I had people message, you know, saying, calling me the F-sler, saying I had a gay list, right? | |
| When I'm married to a woman, right? | |
| If I'm, I'm not even a homosexual. | |
| And if people are bullying me for that, I can't imagine what actual homosexuals have to go through. | |
| So what is it? | |
| If you don't mind me asking, given it's now been sort of raised and I'm not quite sure, are you straight? | |
| Are you bisexual? | |
| I'm bisexual. | |
| I've been married to a woman happily for five years and we're monogamous. | |
| Okay. | |
| Two gay theists. | |
| I want to chime in. | |
| Have two gay theists on the panel that have said that I've been this kind of behavior. | |
| Look at this behavior. | |
| Yeah, that's called a joke. | |
| That's called a joke. | |
| Sensitive funny day. | |
| Oh my god, this behavior is absolutely behavior. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Hold up. | |
| Are you guys Christians? | |
| I thought we're supposed to be loving to thy neighbor. | |
| Yeah, the only thing telling you when it's wrong. | |
| Don't you love trans people, Parker? | |
| You said that you would date a trans person. | |
| Remember that? | |
| And what's wrong with me? | |
| I think, I think they're wrong with that. | |
| I guess you are more loving than me than Parker. | |
| I wouldn't date a trans person. | |
| Okay, is that supposed to be like a critique of me? | |
| So the problem is these guys are not. | |
| I asked you as Christians. | |
| I called for you as Christians to be loving. | |
| All they've called them to not show loving. | |
| You don't know what loving means. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So earlier in the first section, we talked about Peterson. | |
| We were talking about what was good for men and whether Tate was good or Peterson was good. | |
| And now we're talking about ethics in the sexual domain, which there's no basis in their worldview for anything to be morally objectively right or wrong other than their personal preferences. | |
| So if there are, if there's nothing objectively wrong, there's no reason why bigotry is wrong. | |
| Why is bigotry wrong? | |
| Well, I support your claim. | |
| Don't run from your claim. | |
| Support it. | |
| Right. | |
| We have no, but you're saying we as atheists have no basis of morality. | |
| Support that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No epistemic basis for getting an ought from an is. | |
| Yeah, that's a claim. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, you're saying atheists. | |
| No, it's an argument. | |
| It's a famous argument. | |
| You're saying that atheists can't account for morality. | |
| So what's the argument for that? | |
| You can't get an odd from an is is the argument back to Hume. | |
| It looks like you don't know what an argument is. | |
| Come on, reason. | |
| You got to go from one line of reasoning to another. | |
| Do you know what an argument is? | |
| You cannot get an ought from an is. | |
| You're an atheist. | |
| In a materialistic worldview, there's no ought. | |
| What does that have to do with atheism? | |
| In a materialistic, atheistic worldview, there are no oughts. | |
| First of all, I'm not a materialist. | |
| You don't know the basic problem. | |
| That's just another claim. | |
|
Trans Safety and HRT Years
00:13:05
|
|
| That's just another problem. | |
| It's an argument. | |
| It's a famous historical. | |
| You don't know the difference between you can't defend it. | |
| It's an argument. | |
| It goes back to David Hume. | |
| You don't know if you didn't even know that. | |
| You don't know that. | |
| Look what just happened. | |
| Look what you stabbed. | |
| This guy said. | |
| What just happened is that you didn't know what difference between an argument and why are you ever talking to me? | |
| Why are you scared? | |
| Let me talk, right? | |
| You just claim that atheists don't have a foundation of morality. | |
| Ask you to defend it. | |
| And then you said, you can't get an odd from an is. | |
| What the heck? | |
| That's the argument. | |
| You can't derive that. | |
| That's an argument. | |
| It's not a premise. | |
| It goes back to David Hume. | |
| You just didn't know that. | |
| Okay, can we get it? | |
| Guys, guys, I think we're moving slightly off topic. | |
| Let's bring it back to Pride Month. | |
| I want to play something which has had a lot of people talking on social media. | |
| This is Sesame Street, where all the puppets are holding hands, making up the Pride flag. | |
| And they say, on our street, everyone is welcome. | |
| Together, let's build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. | |
| Happy Pride Month. | |
| I guess I would say, Parker, again, the problem with this is it's this kind of enforced virtue signaling. | |
| It reminds me in a way, for very different reasons, the day in the George Floyd fallout when everyone had to do a black square on their Instagram or somehow they were racist and I refused and everyone called me a racist. | |
| I went, why does putting a black square on my Instagram make any difference to anything? | |
| Again, with this, if you don't go along with the Pride Month stuff, then somehow you must be homophobic is the kind of way this all seems to work. | |
| And I don't like that. | |
| I don't understand why we have to have any more these enforced things where everywhere you go for a whole month, everything's pride. | |
| Why? | |
| Why can't you just, everyone just get on with their lives? | |

| Yeah, so like a way that I would respond to this is by saying that because of the bigotry and dehumanization that exists in our society, it's important to have these things for acceptance to decrease the level of bullying that exists in our society targeted towards the LGBTQ plus community. | |
| Now, no one's saying that you have to go to Pride Piers. | |
| No one's saying that you have to involve yourself with Pride. | |
| When I go outside, I live in Los Angeles. | |
| I don't see rainbow flags everywhere. | |
| So I'm confused what you're talking about. | |
| In Los Angeles? | |
| You must be joking, but you can barely move in Los Angeles. | |
| I've got a house in Beverly Hills. | |
| You may as well put a Pride flag over the whole place. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I've been to those areas. | |
| Pride flags aren't everywhere. | |
| And one, you live in Beverly Hills, right? | |
| That's specifically like not even right next to downtown. | |
| So that's where most of the rainbow flags would be. | |
| Here's my point to you. | |
| It's my serious point to you. | |
| If you actually want to do something constructive, for say the trans community, for example, wandering around with LGBTQ plus, and no one can ever remember now how many letters and digits there are on these. | |
| You just said it. | |
| It gets bigger and bigger. | |
| And I've seen one with two in it and all sorts of stuff, a two spirit, whatever. | |
| All it is is IA plus. | |
| Yeah, I know, but then there's two and everything. | |
| It gets ridiculous, right? | |
| And this is the problem with these things. | |
| It's never ending. | |
| It's like there were two genders, then there were 10, then there were 80, then there were 100. | |
| All of it's nonsense to me. | |
| However, if you want to think that it's the free world, here's my point. | |
| If you actually want to make a constructive difference to, say, the trans community and trans rights and protect trans people, then the absolute worst way to go about that is the way that the trans lobby has tried to do it by eroding women's rights in things like women's sport. | |
| That has exposed so many trans people to mockery, abuse, and the rest of it. | |
| And I would say that rather than spending all this time and effort and money on flags in Pride Month, what about just actually getting people together to understand that eroding women's rights is the worst possible thing to promote trans rights. | |
| Would you accept that? | |
| Okay, so then if we were going to be talking about eroding women's rights, we'd have to talk about people that, you know, someone like Andrew Wilson supports, like Donald Trump, who was held civil liable for sexually abusing women, who bragged about... | |
| Oh, hang on. | |
| Let's stick to my question. | |
| If they bring Trump, I promise you I'm making a point relative to this. | |
| He bragged about walking. | |
| Smokey man, bad. | |
| Smokey man. | |
| He bragged. | |
| You're very childish. | |
| He bragged about walking. | |
| All you can do is focus on me. | |
| You can't even answer to his question, dude. | |
| I'm promising you. | |
| You're cutting me off. | |
| Smokey man, bad. | |
| You're cutting me off. | |
| I'm trying to answer it right now. | |
| Respectfully, I'm trying to answer it right now, but you're not allowing me to. | |
| Okay, well, answer without distracting into Trump and stuff. | |
| Just answer the question. | |
| Well, I'm giving an explanation, right? | |
| So he bragged about walking to the changing rooms of girls in Miss T USA because he quote unquote owns the place to inspect them. | |
| Don't forget Trump. | |
| Forget Trump. | |
| I promise you, I'm making a point here. | |
| Would you like to? | |
| Yeah, you have to get to the point a bit quicker. | |
| Come on. | |
| I promise you, I might have had 15 seconds. | |
| Okay, so specifically, right, people like Andrew Wilson do not call that type of stuff out when it's explicitly harmful towards women. | |
| You're playing what's about. | |
| Because I haven't spoken about it. | |
| As somebody like me, talk to me, Parker. | |
| Talk to me, right? | |
| As somebody who has always supported. | |
| Someone who's always supported trans rights, transformation. | |
| I have always supported trans people's rights to fairness, equality, and safety, right to the point that it began to erode into women's rights to the same thing. | |
| And that's my point to you. | |
| Why waste all this time, effort, and money on virtue signaling for Pride Month when, in fact, there's a real problem going on, which remains unresolved because too many people on the left and too many young people go along with this absolute farce of trans athletes in women's sport, which exposes trans people around the world to extra mockery and abuse. | |
| But you're getting in the mockery and abuse from people like Jay Dyer, from people like Jay Dyer and you're going to get the mockery when there is something so obviously grotesquely unfair. | |
| Can I receive it? | |
| Marker, you've got your hand up very politely. | |
| So answer me. | |
| Without mentioning Donald Trump or Andrew Wilson. | |
| Yeah, okay. | |
| So I can't mention the person on the panel, but specifically in terms of trans people, trans people are not specifically going to be harmful towards women in these particular spaces, given that they've met the conditions of multiple years of HRT. | |
| Have you been fucking literally as you've said this today? | |
| It's been revealed. | |
| Today, I'm trying to explain. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| I'm trying to explain, Piers. | |
| You talked about safety. | |
| Disingenuous. | |
| Literally today, the Algerian gold medal winner in the Paris women's boxing has been revealed to be a man who should never have been competing. | |
| Piers, can I speak? | |
| I hate how people feel when they're on your panels and you make it. | |
| Can I speak without interruption, please? | |
| All right, answer. | |
| I've been incredibly nice on this panel. | |
| I would love to be able to speak without interruption. | |
| Is that okay, Piers? | |
| Yes, but answer my question. | |
| Yeah, I was trying to answer the question. | |
| You cut me off. | |
| So specifically, I don't think trans people in these spaces would be harmful after multiple years of HRT and or not going through a male puberty, as I've seen no good evidence from any scientific studies that indicate that there would be an unfair biological. | |
| Iman Khalif, what are you talking about, man? | |
| Listen, listen. | |
| I'm still explaining. | |
| Marko, you're talking complete gibberish. | |
| Can I please finish? | |
| Iman Khalif has literally just been exposed as a biological male who won Olympic gold in women's boxing and beat up an Italian boxer, woman, so badly she quit in 43 seconds and said she thought she was going to die in the ring. | |
| So the whole argument you just put forward is literally disproved by a news story today. | |
| That's the point I was making to you. | |
| Of course it's dangerous. | |
| When you allow biological men to get in a boxing ring and beat up women, it is dangerous. | |
| Piers, has that person been through multiple years of HRT? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't care. | |
| Then they haven't met my set of criteria. | |
| So how is that a critique of my critique of my worldview if they haven't met the set of criteria that I mentioned? | |
| Can I please finish? | |
| Can I please mention? | |
| Can I please mention? | |
| So again, let me please finish. | |
| I am saying if they meet this set of criteria, then they can play. | |
| And there's nothing unfair biologically. | |
| This thing is, though, this is where you're so deluded. | |
| You're so deluded. | |
| Because even if you have all the treatment, you still retain the heavy mass, the muscle mass, the lung capacity, you retain all the biological advantages of being born. | |
| Not after multiple years of HRT. | |
| Not after multiple years of HRT. | |
| Wait, do you want to bet, Piers? | |
| Piers, put money on it. | |
| You said you retain every biological advantage. | |
| Muscle mass. | |
| Muscle capacity? | |
| You don't think muscle mass? | |
| You want to bet your entire savings of your entire life? | |
| Well, I'm right. | |
| And you're wrong? | |
| Piers, let's bet $1,000 right now that there are lower biological advantages that would specifically exist given that someone goes through multiple years of HRT relative to estrogen. | |
| No, you're missing my point. | |
| Just take that bet. | |
| No, you're missing my point. | |
| Are you going to accept the bet? | |
| Yes or no? | |
| You can have all the HRT treatments in your life. | |
| You can have all the testosterone. | |
| Hang on. | |
| I can accept it. | |
| Let me answer. | |
| Let me answer. | |
| I'll tell you the bet I'll make. | |
| Want to bet the thousand dollars? | |
| If you want to bet the thousand dollars that if you go through testosterone reduction treatment and the rest of it, that you come out of it with a reduced muscle mass or lung capacity or the other things that give men an advantage, take that bet for me. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| So, I will bet after multiple years of HRT, specifically relating to estrogen, right? | |
| There is a reduction in muscle mass. | |
| You want to take that bet, Pierce? | |
| It's bullshit. | |
| Andrew Wilson. | |
| Okay, let's take that bet. | |
| Yes or no? | |
| Andrew Wilson. | |
| Yes or no? | |
| Do you want to take the bet? | |
| I'm letting Andrew respond to you. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So when you're talking specifically about this, this whole, the whole LGBTQ thing has backfired greatly. | |
| And it's because it's an this whole thing, pride is astro-turfed. | |
| It's literally astro-turfed. | |
| You just showed us how. | |
| I mean, you have a massive corporation putting out propaganda for a children's TV show, showing a bunch of hands in a rainbow, this and that. | |
| It's very clear that this is backfiring. | |
| And by the way, the trans movement set the gay rights movement back 20 years or more. | |
| You can't convince us, Parker, even if you're attracted to men who you call women, that the rest of us need to call them women or men. | |
| Like they either are or they aren't. | |
| Is this not changing what? | |
| You have been trying, you have been trying to convince people forever that there's no way to distinguish these things. | |
| Like, look, the average normal person, they can tell that these guys who go out and go, hey, how are you doing? | |
| My name is Chuck. | |
| With long hair are clearly not women, Parker. | |
| Like we know this. | |
| And so what happens is you guys gaslight everybody and try to pretend that, hey, you just can't really know. | |
| It's too vague. | |
| It's, you know, we can't really get to the meat potatoes here. | |
| It's like, you know, we do know, Parker. | |
| And you have not been able to successfully, with your TikTok brain, convince people that men can be women and women can be men. | |
| You haven't done that. | |
| And that's one of the reasons that you see pride falling behind is because of all of this gaslighting. | |
| People are rejecting it. | |
| Tax day has passed, but for millions of Americans, that's where the trouble begins. | |
| The IRS is now ramping up enforcement for those who miss the April deadline or still owe back taxes. | |
| Well, today's sponsor, Tax Network USA, can still help. | |
| If your books are a mess, if you're self-employed, or if you're a business owner, Tax Network USA specializes in cleaning up financial chaos and getting you back on track quickly. | |
| They say the IRS is applying enforcement pressure at levels they've never seen before. | |
| But even after the deadline, it's not too late to take control. | |
| The consultation is completely free. | |
| Acting now could stop penalties, threatening letters, and surprise levies before they escalate. | |
| Call 1-800-958-1000 or visit tnusa.com/slash peers. | |
| That's tnusa.com slash peers. | |
| Let tax network USA make the next move, not the IRS. | |
| Let's move on to another subject. | |
| Can I respond? | |
| Can I respond to that? | |
| Well, very quickly. | |
| Yeah, so one, I'm not saying that men can be women. | |
| We're making the claim that trans women are women and trans men are men, right? | |
|
Debating Retard and Sin
00:15:18
|
|
| That's a separate claim from the original claim about pride. | |
| I do want to address the claim specifically about pride and how we're addressing how people are negatively impacted. | |
| And as a society, we want to address this in terms of this so that we can reduce the likelihood of people being harmed or negatively impacted or not accepted in these communities. | |
| That's the point of pride in these conditions, right? | |
| Just because it is the case that issues have existed to a greater extent in the past doesn't mean that we don't have an issue to address today, right? | |
| In terms of pride, right? | |
| Like addressing that we should have acceptance of gay people. | |
| We should have acceptance of people in the LGBTQ plus TQ plus community. | |
| So it's a little counterintuitive though, Parker. | |
| Clearly, it's backfiring. | |
| Like it seems like it's counterintuitive. | |
| If you push the problem, it's backfiring. | |
| Yeah, it's backfiring. | |
| Let me bring in Danny. | |
| Let me bring in Danny. | |
| Danny, have a say. | |
| Yeah, right. | |
| I want to highlight that what the corporations do, right? | |
| I might agree with you. | |
| Some of them sell out for pride, right? | |
| It's marketable. | |
| I might agree with you, but pride is way more than just what the corporations do. | |
| It's how people identify with their sexuality and kind of anti-bullying agenda. | |
| That's very important. | |
| It's intentional to pride. | |
| Whatever the corporations do, if they sell out, they sell out, but you can still have pride, whatever they do. | |
| Yeah, you can have pride, but why do you have to have panic, Danny, though? | |
| Why do you have all the commercialization organic? | |
| It's not organic, Danny. | |
| This is not bullying as inherently. | |
| This is not organically people coming together anymore to force this. | |
| This is a bunch of NGOs. | |
| If you were actually Christian, you would be in support of pride. | |
| If you were actually Christian, you'd be in support of pride because you'd be excited. | |
| I think people are going to be able to do that. | |
| Is there a cardinal sin? | |
| That's what Jesus said. | |
| Is there a cardinal sin called Pride? | |
| It's not pride in a literal sense. | |
| It's pride specifically. | |
| It's actually a very good point. | |
| Pride is inherent pride. | |
| Why are you celebrating sin? | |
| It's not celebrating sin. | |
| You're misunderstanding. | |
| You're misunderstanding. | |
| It's not pride in a literal sense. | |
| It's pride in the sense specifically where we're accepting people specifically for being gay, right? | |
| For being trans. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Christianity is proud of it. | |
| Christianity tells you to love everyone and tells you to accept that. | |
| It doesn't allow me to do it. | |
| You have to trans people for virtue versus vice. | |
| Christianity is a virtue-vice ethic, and your whole ethos is to defend your own personal vices because your ethics are all purely subjective. | |
| You have no basis for rights other than what you say is the case. | |
| Jay, are you proud to be a Christian? | |
| Sure. | |
| Oh, that's a sin. | |
| Pride. | |
| That's an equivocation. | |
| I didn't make the argument. | |
| I didn't make the argument. | |
| That's an equivocation. | |
| We're not talking about the cardinal basis. | |
| What's an equivocation fallacy? | |
| We're talking about the sense of pride that matters to your identity, who you are. | |
| I said virtue-vice ethic, and you use an argument from equivocation. | |
| It's two different uses of the word. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Yes, you are. | |
| I didn't say that pride is the sin that respectfully, respectfully. | |
| Wasn't that exactly what you guys were doing when I said that pride wasn't used in a literal sense? | |
| But then you guys equivocated and said that we were. | |
| I didn't make that argument. | |
| Andrew made that argument. | |
| I said you don't have to say that. | |
| So Andrew made a mistake. | |
| So Andrew made a mistake. | |
| So Andrew made a state. | |
| I said you don't have a basis for virtue or vice. | |
| We were basing this around the idea that Parker said. | |
| What Parker said specifically here was, well, wait a second. | |
| If you're a Christian, you should be all about this. | |
| And it's like, no, not really. | |
| And you haven't really demonstrated how. | |
| Why? | |
| Why, Parker? | |
| Why is it that we need to support homosexuality as Christians, Parker? | |
| Tell us why. | |
| Well, I was saying that you should be loving of thy neighbor as you're referencing specifically people, right? | |
| Human beings, right? | |
| If you're referencing, why does that mean we have to support homosexuality? | |
| Why do we have to support homosexuality? | |
| I'm saying that you have to be accepting of people who are homosexual. | |
| Why do we need to support homosexuality, Parker? | |
| Okay, we're not saying you need to support engaging in gay intercourse. | |
| We're saying that you need to support people who are gay as they are people created in the image of God. | |
| Why do we need to support them? | |
| Why do we need to support them in things that we consider sinful? | |
| You want us to support sin? | |
| Wait, I'm not saying necessarily support sin. | |
| I'm saying you're supporting the person who engages in sin the same way you're a sinner and that you engage in saying that you should be yeah. | |
| So when homosexuals come to the church and they reject homosexuality, they're no longer acting in that way. | |
| They are accepted. | |
| They're not rejecting it. | |
| What are you talking about? | |
| They're rejecting. | |
| Wait, by the way, action in the Bible says that being so there's a vice virtue ethic that they're not understanding. | |
| It's not an identity. | |
| It's a vice. | |
| Wait, I want to bring this. | |
| I want to bring the pride in today. | |
| We're going to move on to the last topic. | |
| All I would say is, look, I absolutely do not think homosexuality is a sin. | |
| I completely respect everyone's right to have any sexuality, but I just don't see the point in spending a whole month allowing companies to virtue signal their way into making tons of money out of it. | |
| I just think it's the grasping, it's the grasping commercialization of sexuality. | |
| Is your issue just how long? | |
| Do you just want a week or a day? | |
| If you want to have a pride day, a pride day, fine, but why a month? | |
| Goes on. | |
| A month or a day. | |
| Wait, couldn't corporations. | |
| If it's a day, it's a day longer than I get as a straight guy. | |
| I mean, what about me? | |
| Where am I? | |
| Where's my day? | |
| Are you bullied for being straight? | |
| I get bullied all the time. | |
| I've been bullied on social media all day. | |
| Not for being straight. | |
| No. | |
| All right. | |
| Let's move on. | |
| I want to play a clip from Joe Rogan. | |
| I'm going to start with you, Jay, on this. | |
| This is Joe Rogan talking about the R word. | |
| It's one of these retarded shows where they're screaming. | |
| There's the word again. | |
| We brought it. | |
| We were just talking about the word retarded is back. | |
| And it's one of the great culture victories that I think is spurred on probably by podcasts. | |
| Now, Jay, is it a great moment, a great cultural victory that the R word is back, which obviously is short for it's retarded. | |
| It's mentally retarded. | |
| It's for people who are mentally impaired. | |
| It was used in a derogatory way against people who are mentally impaired. | |
| Why would that be a cultural victory to bring that back? | |
| Well, I'm a big fan of the R word because I myself act retarded all the time and I'm proud of it. | |
| In fact, I would actually probably get retarded tattooed across my back because I think it is a cultural victory. | |
| I'd love to be able to say what's on my mind. | |
| I think, I mean, well, these guys are retarded as an example. | |
| So we have panelists that are retarded. | |
| So yeah, I love the R word. | |
| I'm rated R totally. | |
| And I think that it's a freeing thing. | |
| It's a way to express the way we express things in the 80s and the 90s without a problem. | |
| You can go watch Bill Murray comedy movies and they're great because... | |
| Yeah, but people used to, yeah, but hang on. | |
| People used to use the N-word, you know, 30, 40 years ago, right? | |
| But then you just champion all the comedians. | |
| But that became something that was taboo in society because it was deemed to be very offensive to black people. | |
| The R word is the same. | |
| I don't think it is. | |
| The use of the R word is deemed to be very offensive to people who are genuinely mentally impaired and they don't like it. | |
| He's making a soy face like he's like freaking out over there. | |
| Yeah, I'm sorry. | |
| You just said it's just the N word and what's wrong, morally wrong. | |
| I don't equate the two. | |
| All right, Parker. | |
| Your response. | |
| So here's my question. | |
| Do you think that Jesus would say the N-word? | |
| And do you think Jesus would say the R slur? | |
| Jesus does say jokes and slurs in the Gospels. | |
| Yes. | |
| He talks about the equivalence in his day. | |
| So Joe says the N-word and the R-Slur. | |
| It's not the same thing as the N-word and the R-where. | |
| It's a reference to you guys as vice. | |
| Parker, do people in your friendship group ever use the R-word? | |
| No, never. | |
| It's just a taboo word. | |
| Yes, I think it's incredibly wrong to use. | |
| You shouldn't use it. | |
| Anybody in your friend group using R word. | |
| I'm not of interest, Parker. | |
| What is your rationale personally for not using it? | |
| I think it's incredibly harmful. | |
| In the same way that we don't use other sorts of slurs because they're harmful, I think that we shouldn't argue because it's harmful. | |
| It's hurt my feelings. | |
| Should you not argue? | |
| No, specifically, we're saying it meets a threshold of harm, right? | |
| Because the R slur and the threshold. | |
| Your threshold. | |
| That's a subjective argument, thank you. | |
| So it's only your personal subjective taste. | |
| If it's your personal subjective taste, then it can also be my third. | |
| Okay, well, then Parker, it doesn't reach our threshold. | |
| It doesn't reach our threshold. | |
| I understand, Andrew. | |
| That would be your perspective on the matter. | |
| But given my perspective, I would say that meets my threshold. | |
| Are you saying it's okay to use the N-word? | |
| And it's subjective and it doesn't work as an argument. | |
| Wait, Jay, why can't I? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Yeah, Parker, Parker, Parker. | |
| Is it ever okay to use the word retard? | |
| No. | |
| Is it okay for you to use the N-word? | |
| Is it even okay to use the word retard to reference the word retard? | |
| I think it's wrong to use it in general. | |
| Can you please use it? | |
| Can you answer my question and then I'll answer yours? | |
| I promise. | |
| I said it's wrong. | |
| It's okay to refer to the word retard after you're explaining the word retard. | |
| Say our slur. | |
| So, so you can't, okay, so you can't even use, so just the word itself. | |
| Okay, so here's the thing that's so funny about this, right? | |
| It's like ultimately, when we say retarded, yeah, yeah. | |
| So I wouldn't use the N-word. | |
| Here's why. | |
| Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. | |
| Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about. | |
| The juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. | |
| It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. | |
| Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. | |
| Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| When I say if somebody says the N-word, what ends up ultimately happening, there's not really too much in the way of equivocation there. | |
| Retard is not actually referring to retarded people, though. | |
| Basically, ever. | |
| Nobody ever says it, Parker, to refer to somebody who's actually retarded. | |
| 99%. | |
| Wait, hold on. | |
| If you're using the N-word to refer to a white person, it's still wrong. | |
| Would you use the N-word to refer to a white person? | |
| I mean, in some circumstances, I think that you can use it in a comedic sense. | |
| That's hilarious. | |
| Sure. | |
| You think white people using the N-word is okay in any circumstance? | |
| Yeah, comedic senses, especially. | |
| I think so. | |
| That's disgusting as fuck. | |
| You're doing that. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Is that an argument? | |
| Is that an argument, Parker? | |
| Wait, me calling something disgusting because I think it goes against my mind. | |
| That's disgusting. | |
| Okay, right. | |
| Homosexuality is disgusting because it goes against my mom. | |
| Let me bring in your mind. | |
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | |
| Let me bring in Danny. | |
| This is what NBC said, NBC News, when they covered the return of the R word. | |
| They said, while its use has percolated in the comedy world for years, only recently has the word and discussion of its return become more normalized. | |
| That is fueled in no small part by a sense that the tide has turned both culturally and politically against those seeking to keep the word out of the popular lexicon. | |
| But the battle lines are not as clear as one might think. | |
| And there's no doubt that's true. | |
| I mean, what is your view about this? | |
| I mean, we got to remind ourselves why people like us are not against use of the R word, and especially in public places, right? | |
| It's because it was a term, I think I believe, like technical term for mentally disabled people. | |
| And we don't want to demean those people or accidentally offend people that have children or relatives or friends that are mentally disabled, right? | |
| And so it has that connotation, unlike the word dog. | |
| When Jesus used the term dog, right? | |
| There's no such connotation, right? | |
| You'll have to be reminded why it's considered to be a slur, right? | |
| I mean, it's like you forgot. | |
| Yeah, but so is like the word, so is the word moron. | |
| So is the word moron. | |
| The word moron had a really negative societal connotation and it still does. | |
| And people use it all the time just in lieu of the word retard. | |
| They'll just say you're a moron instead of you're a retard. | |
| It's like our words. | |
| Hang on, hang on. | |
| You're begging. | |
| Hang on. | |
| You're arbitrary. | |
| You're choosing. | |
| Yeah, you're picking and choosing which thing to be selectively offended by. | |
| You're not, I don't. | |
| So like, let me ask you guys this, honestly. | |
| I want you guys to answer me fucking honestly. | |
| Does the word retard actually offend you? | |
| Yes. | |
| Yes. | |
| I think it's fucking Danny. | |
| I've been told that you're not going to be able to do it. | |
| Does it actually offend you, Danny, when somebody says retard? | |
| Yeah, it does. | |
| So with Zach Galifasis, especially in public places and professional places, Zach Galifanakis does some, when he does comedy and he does a movie and he makes a joke and says retort. | |
| Is that also bad? | |
| I'm confused the context of what you're referencing. | |
| Is he specifically trying to retard? | |
| If he is, then he matters. | |
| Now that's the thing. | |
| He's trying to allude to the word retard. | |
| I don't. | |
| Okay, then yes, that's wrong. | |
| Yes, that's wrong. | |
| I thought you were saying like someone that references another word now is wrong, like moron. | |
| So, specifically, in terms of the one I thought you were referencing, I thought you were referencing like someone responding to an argument. | |
| I thought the particular term Galifinakis in a comedy movie is saying retort as a joke instead of retard. | |
| So, if you're friends, I think that's incredibly up to use. | |
| Okay, so now also any word that refers to the word retard is now wrong, like moron. | |
| I think if you're intentionally specifically trying to use a word right in place specifically of the Arsler, specifically as to create the same type of outcome as the Arsler, any word that could refer that particular intention, I think that particular intention would be. | |
| But you can't say the word moron. | |
| So, now you can't. | |
| I can't say the word moron. | |
| You don't necessarily have that intention. | |
| It just meets the threshold of harmony. | |
| It's spiraling into insanity because I gave two conditions to separate it. | |
| I gave two conditions. | |
| Wait, it being a symbolic. | |
| These conditions are arbitrary. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Wait, it being subjective is not a critique. | |
| That's not a critique against. | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| How is that a critique? | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| If something's purely subjective, then I can come with all the same claims with all the same force, and there's no way to resolve the two. | |
| That's why purely subjective arguments fail. | |
| Wait, there not being a resolution, particularly between the moral disagreement of me and you isn't a critique particularly of my perspective. | |
| Then you can't say anything is morally wrong. | |
| There's no ought from an is. | |
| Wait, I can say something is morally wrong under my perspective. | |
| You're misunderstanding subjective morality. | |
| You're not giving me wrong morally objectively if I can also counter it. | |
| Can I ask you this question? | |
| Do you think that morality is true dependent upon God's stance or independent of God's stance? | |
| Ultimately, it's grounded in God. | |
| Okay, so it's God is a subject. | |
| Yeah, God is a subject. | |
| No, that's not a subjective argument. | |
| The argument is that the argument is that it's objective. | |
| God doesn't have to say that. | |
| The fact that a person makes an argument doesn't make the argument subjective. | |
| Your argument is a subjective subjectivism. | |
| Is God a subject? | |
| Two different things. | |
| It's a category error. | |
| Is God has a subjective? | |
| It's two different categories. | |
| A subjective argument. | |
| We're two different people, too. | |
| Different than a person who's a subject making an argument. | |
| Those are two different things. | |
| The point is that God is a subject. | |
| He's not an object, right? | |
| We're subjects, right? | |
| We understand morality in terms of God. | |
| You're equivocating against. | |
| Can we bring this back to the fact that God's authority is not a matter of fact? | |
| No, no, you want to run away. | |
| Wait, God. | |
| Wait, God having his particular view on morality is no different than me having my view because we're both subjects. | |
| The argument is an objective. | |
| Jay, what is a subject? | |
| You're equivocating on the fact that the subject is making an argument versus the argument being subject. | |
| It's a philosophical category error. | |
| Jay, Jay, this is like talking to children. | |

Cannibal Slurs and Category Errors
00:06:51
|
|
| I asked you. | |
| It's a category error, you idiot. | |
| I gave you the youth row dilemma. | |
| I asked you if it's true dependent upon a stance or independent of a stance. | |
| You said it's dependent upon God's stance. | |
| That's subjective by definition. | |
| I said that the argument for Christian ethics is not a subjectivist ethic. | |
| And because God is a subject, it doesn't make the system subjective. | |
| That's an equivocation error. | |
| What's subjective means, Jay? | |
| What does subjective mean? | |
| What is subjective mean? | |
| It's purely relative to the individual. | |
| Okay, is God an individual? | |
| Is God an individual? | |
| That doesn't mean that the ethic is subjective. | |
| Uh-oh, it's an objective ethic. | |
| You're just rephrasing what you're substituting the word individual for subject. | |
| I'm asking you if God is an individual yes or no, coward. | |
| That doesn't mean that the ethics is subjective. | |
| Yes or no? | |
| Who's running now? | |
| Is God a logical argument that's different? | |
| Let me bring Andrew. | |
| Andrew, you wanted to Andrew, you wanted to get in here. | |
| Jay's getting cooked. | |
| What are you going to say? | |
| Jay's getting cooked. | |
| You're making a dumb mistake. | |
| Hang on. | |
| Hang on. | |
| Let Andrew come in, please. | |
| Yeah, so I mean, this is kind of obfuscating from the point. | |
| What does any of that have to do with the point of retard? | |
| So, and you being offended by it for me, yeah. | |
| Hang on. | |
| I'm talking to Parker, not you, Danny. | |
| Calm down. | |
| I don't understand. | |
| I don't understand. | |
| Parker, when a friend of yours comes over and he says something to you, like you're in private, and he's like, hey, hand me that. | |
| And you toss it and you miss it. | |
| And he goes, you retard. | |
| You literally stop the kind. | |
| You go, don't say that. | |
| It's very offensive. | |
| Do you say that? | |
| It's very offensive. | |
| I really don't like it when you say, do you dress him down, Parker? | |
| Yeah, so it calls you an entirely different family word. | |
| I'm sorry, my mic cut out, so I couldn't hear you. | |
| I want to post something to Andrew. | |
| If you have a friend, if you have a friend, shut up, Danny. | |
| If you have a friend, Parker, and your buddy comes over and he like tosses you something and you drop it and he's like, you retard. | |
| You dress him down? | |
| Do you go, I can't believe you can't be a retard. | |
| Why? | |
| That's a good response. | |
| Who's around to be around to be offended except you? | |
| Who's around to be a fairy but you? | |
| I think it's wrong. | |
| Yeah, so let Danny let Danny respond. | |
| Danny? | |
| Well, I want to give, I want to give Andrew a hypothetical. | |
| Suppose there's this unknown society where if you throw, show this signal, everyone's extremely offended. | |
| They'll get very angry like people get angry at typical slurs like the N-word, right? | |
| Would you go around just doing this? | |
| The Vulcan sign for logic. | |
| Do you understand the hypothetical? | |
| What? | |
| Are you posing hypothesis? | |
| So imagine you go to a hypothesis. | |
| Can you use really small words, bro? | |
| Okay, imagine a hypothetical, right? | |
| Where you're going to a society you don't know about, but all you know is if you do this. | |
| I'm imagining a hypothetical. | |
| Let me finish. | |
| You didn't understand the hypothetical, so I'm having to repeat it. | |
| So let me finish. | |
| Yeah, repeat it. | |
| Let's say this is extremely, let's say this signal is extremely offensive in that society, really offends people. | |
| Would you go around just doing this to troll people or would you not do it? | |
| I would definitely tell them to live long and prosper, bro. | |
| Okay, you're just not engaging in the hypothetical. | |
| You're not a serious person. | |
| What do you mean? | |
| That is serious. | |
| What I'm trying to illustrate is that if a term really offends a friend of someone, right, if you're or a family member or something like that, why would you use the term but to piss them off? | |
| The trouble is, the trouble is that we've got to a place in our society where the language police are now so out of control that we can't even use, we can't even use the word in hospitals, mother, because somebody who is a trans person, trans man, who's having a baby, objects to the word mother. | |
| And that's the problem with language police is that if there's no natural societal limitation to it, it's never ending. | |
| Somebody somewhere will always be offended by a word somewhere. | |
| And at the moment in society, it's like there are a thousand words that upset people. | |
| That's my problem with it. | |
| And Danny, like, what are you doing? | |
| Okay, wait, no, let me mean it a different way. | |
| Parker, you want to respond to that? | |
| No, I want to respond to this particular point. | |
| Christians get oftentimes very angry about specific terms you use, whether it be in the context of their particular beliefs, whether it be transubstantiation, calling them a cannibal specifically under their view. | |
| If it is the case that they think it's the actual body and blood of Christ that they're eating specifically and drinking within communion, right? | |
| That us calling them a cannibal, they get really, really angry with. | |
| Or us blaspheming the Holy Spirit, they get really angry with. | |
| And you don't seem to care about doing that. | |
| No, I don't. | |
| They're the tone police person. | |
| You guys don't talk about that. | |
| No, it's not because I'm not a Christian. | |
| I don't hold those perspectives. | |
| Yeah, but that's not. | |
| Hang on. | |
| That's okay. | |
| Hang on. | |
| Hang on. | |
| That is fascinating. | |
| So, in other words, you don't mind doing the slur against Andrew over things that he cares very passionately about in religion because you don't share his religion. | |
| Therefore, you can't offend him. | |
| Therefore, you can't offend him. | |
| How is that a slur? | |
| He said, Would you use the word cannibal? | |
| You said that. | |
| That's not a slur. | |
| That's not a slur. | |
| Hang on. | |
| It is to him. | |
| Hang on. | |
| It is to him. | |
| A slur or whatever. | |
| What offended people? | |
| So, so hang on. | |
| So, Parker, you decide what offends. | |
| Be clear Parker, you are the slur monitor, are you? | |
| You decide what isn't isn't a slur and therefore you can say what the you like, so long as, so long as you have decided it's not a slur. | |
| You see the flaw of the argument. | |
| It's all out. | |
| Obviously we have definite, obviously we have definitions on what slurs are. | |
| I don't know why. | |
| That's a confusing thing to you. | |
| Do you have a definition? | |
| Obviously you have a definition. | |
| I would say, saying to a Christian obviously, saying to a Christian that he's a cannibal uh, because of you know, communion or whatever, I think is utterly offensive yeah, and a slur, but you don't wait. | |
| But because you don't share the religion, therefore you language monitor Parker, have decided it's not a slur. | |
| And so, as long as you don't think it's a slur and this is my problem with your generation is that you're so easily offended, except when you're offending everybody else. | |
| Wait, if it genuinely is the case that it leads to a particular level of harm that I would say meets my particular threshold of harm, I would say we shouldn't use that term. | |
| All I was doing is describing specifically. | |
| There are terms and words Christians think are very harmful. | |
| Well, cannibalism is a criminal offense. | |
| Listen listener, there's a lot more Christians you're you're accusing of him of being equivocating. | |
| No, actually you're equivocating because i'm using their own definition of the term cannibal, specifically because it is a case that uh, you're equivocating because that's not, I don't think. | |
| It's actually like the body and blood of Christ. | |
| So they didn't actually, in a meaningful sense, violate any laws. | |
| Does that make sense? | |
| And I don't think i'm actually calling somebody uh mentally, you know, slow when I say retard either Parker, so what, it still meets a particular threshold of harm that I can say, well, it meets a threshold of harm to me. | |

A Fascinating Cultural Clash
00:00:44
|
|
| All right, we've got to leave it there. | |
| It's been a fascinating clash andrew, hang on. | |
| No, we've got to leave it there. | |
| It's been a great clash of cultures. | |
| I think we should do this again. | |
| Um, I think both sides are learning from each other and beginning to bond. | |
| Uh, thank you all very much. | |
| I'm back without the mute button again, Parker. | |
