@fredsoda Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall

@gonglei89 It is pretty sweet when they delete their tweets

@JuicyJuuce @a_Ollama @fredsoda If they are so poor why to do they live so much longer?

@Frank_Stones Russia is "weaponizing" the consequences of the latest US war of choice.

Interesting choice of words to say the least...

@JuicyJuuce @fredsoda This all time high represents a decade of net zero progress. US life expectancy peaked in 2014, just shy of 79 years, then went flat, then collapsed during COVID to about 76.4 in 2021, and has now clawed back to a hair above where it was a decade ago.

This is what you celebrate?

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@JuicyJuuce @fredsoda lol and falling life expectancy, low levels of satisfaction, rising rates of disease and illness.

It also has the highest rate of people working full time jobs and living in their cars!

@nosilverv Interesting connection!

@coreyhoganyyc It's not a serious issue. It's not serious people who support it.

It's a fringe opinion that's a stand in for stated vs revealed preferences.

The consequences of separation would totally alienate all support for it. It's a fantasy issue kept alive by fabulists.

@BootsRiley I'm taking 4 friends to see it on Tuesday!

@vividvoid It's generally much more reliable to describe a process and ask it to create a script for you. You can even get it to run the scripts! For anything that's deterministic think in terms of scripts and then just use the LLM/agent to orchestrate running and organzing them.

@vividvoid @_SatanWatch @kittych0cklit partly because it's tougher to just blame a random minority and get away with it.

But I also suspect a decline in the Detective's work ethic and weaker "incentives" for a true solve.

@lilchiva @BreatheLesss Yea also the people he was interacting with for that fame. He was deep into a pretty nasty pipeline.

Given where he ended up though there are much better (and more honest) scholars doing that work, and who haven't abandoned the project. Vervaeke in particular is excellent.

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss The lectures built a small serious audience before 2016. His mass fame came from a viral culture war campaign that got picked up by the Rogan and Rubin and Shapiro and then eventually institutionalized with a formal Daily Wire deal.

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss There's a difference between living up to them and rank hypocrisy.

Yes. You're saying that I'm discounting his earlier contribution because of his fame/failings. I'm saying his earlier work gets treated much more seriously than it deserves because of his fame.

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss I'm answering the question posed by the OP. "Why do so many now dismiss it out of hand?"

Because he demonstrated immense hypocrisy while cashing in on his credentials and authority.

Perhaps following the money so blindly is part of what provoked his personal crisis. 🤷‍♂️

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss Should I elevate his earlier work because of his notoriety?

Have you read Maps of Meaning?

When Peterson tells young boys to be stoic and then has a temper tantrum that end in tears on camera - what should we take away from that?

To be clear I'm not dismissing it...

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss We're actually giving Peterson preferential treatment here. His earlier work gets serious scrutiny *because* he got famous. Becker, McAdams, and McGilchrist have the same/similar project and they do it better and without asking us to separate their character from their ideas.

[Learner @LearnerKip]

@BreatheLesss The earlier work doesn't exist in a sealed chamber. How he applied it, what he used it to justify, and who he became in the process are evidence about the work itself. Kant's hometown radius tells us nothing about the Critique. Peterson's trajectory tells us quite a lot about MoM
