like sargon told richard carrier to shut up several times in Milwaukee so I booed

I will always have a fondness for Sargon, because watching his videos encouraged me to think more centrically. But the recent internet drama regarding him, Kraut and Tea, and now Jim and TL;DR... it's turned me off a lot.

If he wants to tell people to take the high road, and be more thoughtful and more politically active, I'm all for that. But when he reverts to older Sargon and base insults and things like that... especially when he's said previously to take the argument and not the person.

Just the best

Every time this particular person speaks, it's something silly.

carrier was interrupting

but its still bad form imo

Wait, he was?

welp. Time to go do more work. Nice talking

Skeptic didn't even bring that up.

Ralph is a fantastic host

It made Sargon look terrible. I had no idea Carrier was interrupting.

yea he was

How much more difficult is it to say, "could I finish my point" to Dr. Carrier than say "shut up"?

Gotta respect Sargon for admitting he needed to take a step back

What the fuck, that's completely different.

but sargon was dominating the conversation

for a whole 24 hours

imo i think no one was at fault to an extreme degree

or 48

sargon went hard

there is polite ways to interrupt and polite ways to tell someone to shut up.

carrier would cut him off

sargon said shut up

Sargon expected a hardline SJW

in a debate you dont look good saying shut up

And got...Carrier, who's not very hardline anything

yea and he got an ally lol

carrier agreed with him

ye

I actually ribbed Sargon about it after the fact, gave him the "intellectually blueballed" term he used later in his wrap up vid, lol

hahaha

I do like him joining a political party, and trying to influence positive change from the inside. I wish we had more people doing that.

The main issue with joining politics is that you actually have to deal with politicians in person

I just wish the more mainstream political parties were the ones who were receptive to new ideas. I don't know that UKIP is the party of effective governance and change.

It's no different than going to most workplaces.

You have to deal with office politics.

Except office politics is the actual work

Not always.

My office politics is managers trying to advance up the corporate ladder.

Smiling to your face whilst trying to get you fired.

Looking for ways to prove to their managers that they are worthy of promotion and praise.
