So his whole shtick is to say we need a left to question hierarchies and traditions and we also need conservatives to preserve the useful hierarchies and traditions. It's a rather mundane and middle of the road message but because of his verbose and pretentious way of conveying things it gets misconstrued from both sides. He has legions of fans who take the wrong message from what he says and legions of haters who do the same. I think it is intentional on his part. He is careful with his words so you can't pin him down but he is vaguely giving the impression of a basic reactionary hold on to your traditions message like elph said. Like I said I'm not defending him or his character. I lost all respect I might have had for him when I found out about him hiding his benzo addiction while preaching self help. But there is some substance to some of the stuff he says that people who jump on the hate bandwagon don't even seem to have grasped when they mock him. As for elph saying I'm giving him too much credit... I'm just paraphrasing what he himself has said many times. I listened to him for like a good year so I think I'm more familiar than you are. |

If that's all he's saying then he's definitely a grifter for being so obtuse about such a boring position.

@ jwb Fair enough, but it still seems like a naturalistic fallacy to me. If he points out that we should question hierarchies then that's fine, but that doesn't take anything away from the fact that he brings up hierarchies being ubiquitous in nature as an argument for their usefullness to humans.

But it's his unstated implication that it is good because it is natural, no?

Not exactly, more that it's not necessarily always bad. That some amount of hierarchy is necessary for society to function but it should be questioned to prevent tyranny. Like I said, very mundane stuff. I was on a lot of drugs and like i said he was very verbose about it all so after a year of listening to him it got old and he started repeating the same tropes and i realized it wasn't that deep, just dressed up with language. I agree with you that he's a grifter. But when people take the message that he's promoting social darwinism and that kind of thing they are misundersanding what he says which is sorta what made me ignore the haters for so long because they sounded like they had no clue what he was even saying. Once I saw the videos about what post modernism actually is then i started to see the grift. Then the benzo thing just put the nail in the coffin. RIP
