RE: DTube: Why Are People Falling for Fake Intellectualism

in #news7 years ago

So can you name even one idea that you would be willing to defend?
I think it's completely fair that if someone is pretending that old, easily dismissable ideas are intellectually provocative then it's correct to call them a pseudo intellectual.
Where does David say that if these people actually started real discourse he wouldn't change his opinion?
David didn't write the article, which I'm not sure you realize is on your side.

Sort:  

First David didn't even make a point that he is defending. So there is no argument I can do in return. It was mainly fluff in this specific video. He has probably done other videos with more clear stuff that get's to the point much faster. But I do feel many in here seems to believe the Intellect to be some magical tool that can solve all. The Intellect is good for survival surely and do some cool things. But it cannot know life so to say.
