Marketplace of ideas works in at least one way; often the most successful things in the open market aren't the actual good ones, just the ones with the most $$ to push them.

So is "high school of ideas" even better? The popular ideas are the best-looking ones with the fanciest clothes, cars, and bling.

Any opposition to this? No? Perfect, it's settled then.

Hold on. Are we sure he has the credentials for this?

I don't, which is definitely the only reason, and no other reason, that I'm not prepared to agree to those terms.

We should make a TikTok clone to try and bring philosophy to the younger generations.

Andrew Tate “debates” Hasan Piker. He’s another grifter of young men but at the other end of the “manliness” spectrum from Dr. Peterson.

This isn't directed at you DownInFlames but these so-called internet "debates" are so boring and useless. There is no real effort nor desire for understanding or consensus, in fact they're designed for the very opposite. It's all about getting their own viewer base to pat themselves on the back by agreeing with their positions and the debater cultivating an ever growing bubble and stream of revenue. Internet "debaters" are contributing to the polarization of society.

I agree completely and this video is proof of it. Hassan even admits he probably didn’t change any minds.

I posted the video because I had never heard of Tate before and wanted to share his ridiculousness. He’s apparently a kick-boxer of some renown and has a large following who buy into his MLM scheme. He’s a clown.

Yeah, Hasan has said on numerous occasions that he's willing to debate anyone but ultimately thinks it's a pretty useless exercise.

I'm really glad that YouTube is starting to kill people's belief in public debates as an intellectual exercise.

Debates are useful intellectually, but only when there's nothing to win, such as popularity or support.

Apparently Tate used to date Peterson's daughter.

He also did a shameless hit piece on Alberta Oil. That's my litmus test for celebrities that do zero personally research and end up getting sucked into America's war on oil.
