All because of Skype clearly

2018-07-29 21:57:54 UTC  

Skype is a single example, and you're a sophist.

2018-07-29 21:58:30 UTC  

That's why I mean by a single talking point not doing it justice. You feel that by gainsaying that skype is fine, you've defended the greater point.

2018-07-29 21:58:36 UTC  

Well, skype isn't fine. At all. But that's besides the point.

2018-07-29 21:58:46 UTC  

(Skype is very bad, never defend it; Even then, not the point)

2018-07-29 21:59:09 UTC  

That's some interesting mind reading

2018-07-29 21:59:11 UTC  

Lol

2018-07-29 21:59:19 UTC  

Good convo

2018-07-29 21:59:20 UTC  

It's good to know that you're so much better and smarter than me

2018-07-29 22:00:00 UTC  

GET EDUCATED PLEB

2018-07-29 22:00:29 UTC  

I will be sure to educate myself on all of Scrib's well defended stances

2018-07-29 22:00:40 UTC

2018-07-29 22:14:59 UTC

I cant believe its not butter!!!!

2018-07-29 22:37:08 UTC

2018-07-29 22:55:23 UTC  

That you don't know this proves how much you need to clean your room, get your bloody act together, go out and do a proper job and have a tree fall on you and then maybe pick up your father from the Underworld.

2018-07-29 22:55:42 UTC  

boy that escalated quickly

2018-07-29 23:02:03 UTC  

And don't turn around to look at your wife or she'll turn into a pillar of salt!!

2018-07-29 23:03:52 UTC  

Despite any statements he may have made to the contrary, Peterson is very optimistic about the stability of western civilization. None of the advice he gives is particularly applicable in a rapidly changing world where modernist philosophical principles are no longer the norm.

2018-07-29 23:05:08 UTC  

"Stand up striaght" "Face the world head on" "Speak the truth" etc is kinda counterproductive if you're trying to avoid getting gulag'd in a post-modernist society.

2018-07-29 23:11:48 UTC  

Anyone who has a plan to advise like Peterson does, is optimistic at some level.

2018-07-29 23:12:05 UTC  

The people who annoy me the most are the ones who describe ALL THE PROBLEMS and explore zero solutions.

2018-07-29 23:12:16 UTC  

I'm almost, and maybe am, less annoyed by people who just have the facts wrong.

2018-07-29 23:13:35 UTC  

I think he was onto something when he proposed starting a site for rating courses and professors. It was kind of half-baked though and got rightfully shot down as being a potential witch-hunt.

2018-07-29 23:14:20 UTC  

I'd like to see something like a cross between several sites which fulfilled the same function while providing other benefits.

2018-07-29 23:14:58 UTC  

That's one site I had in mind, but if it could include functionality like Political Compass and OKCupid it would be awesome.

2018-07-29 23:15:34 UTC  

Identify people of opposing viewpoints on the same campus and encourage them to interact.

2018-07-29 23:16:06 UTC  

I like that actually

2018-07-29 23:16:09 UTC  

In many cases no solutions is better than poorly thought out solutions. Like capitalism despite being the best known system and bringing about so much progress for the world does have some serious flaws, but then when you look at the commonly proposed solutions like Socialism you realize that just striving for progress without care for unintended consequences is a poor choice

2018-07-29 23:16:13 UTC  

And things like "Students of a progressive viewpoint rated this professor as X, while students of a conservative viewpoint rated them Y"

2018-07-29 23:16:19 UTC  

But it could go awry pretty quickly

2018-07-29 23:16:40 UTC  

Oh yeah, it'd have to be pretty heavily anonymized. Maybe require institutional email.
