LOL avoiding people by not subbing or interacting is fine, but when you say you'll not even watch the video of someone you *are* subbed to IF they happen to be talking to "that person" you want to avoid, is kind of silly. That's like consciously going out of your way to apply an irrational prejudice for personal (generally trivial) reasons. It's a value judgement. What's more valuable: the prejudice or the conversation? Which of the two deserves maintenance?

@PsyberSourcerer part 4. You're not stacking joy up against the negatives. Name a joy and tell me how that takes care of someone in excruciating pain or measures up against even one genocide. It doesn't. That's the argument, and you have not dealt with that. Finally our creation of language, ok. that does not stop the misery that's been going on for tens of thousands of years, torture murder genocides rapes diseases famines, and we move ahead slowly for no reason.

@conferencereport Strawmen are useful, but self-deceptive.

If it has to do with some of Gary's followers I can maybe see the argument. I remember one of the videos about Zinea Jones and you commented how what Inmendham said led to some of his followers to reveal extreme positions in the comments. Thing is, I don't think Gary knows too many of his followers. But if it's just a personal thing between everyone, it wouldn't make any sense to ban him. There is definitively some exaggeration going on here about fearing him though.

@zarkoff45 that was great, love that you know sound of music, and the algayda's response funny as well.

@PsyberSourcerer Part 3. He is fully aware that lower IQ people have more kids, that is the status quo. Antinatalism means everyone stop giving birth and all sentient life go extinct, so the IQ of some people is irrelevant. Number three is your perspective with not many facts to back it up. You would lose that debate because the way humans fail are in very serious ways and the ways they don't are fluff compared to genocides, etc. 4 Joy doesn't have to be an illusion (cont)

@PsyberSourcerer Part 2 it does not matter if "facts" are not widely accepted if they are facts, and it does not matter if they are not facts but opinions. Wide acceptance means nothing. You're just using words without meaning here. So first you state his PREMISE is that most people resent their parents for having them. This is INCORRECT. He does not think this and it's not a premise! Yes, it's a rare sentiment. Your comprehension must be pretty low if you have listened and drawn that conclusion

@PsyberSourcerer Your comment is so hilarious I want to do a video on it, but I'm too busy, maybe later. One, you're "afraid" the "easiest" way to defeat Inmendham is to refute his logic. This statement makes no sense, and your assumption that CR wants to defeat him in any way shows you have not watched this vid. lol. Then you go on to say that the facts he bases his arguments on "are not widely accepted" wut? First of all, are they facts, and secondly, fallacy of argument from popularity.(cont)
How do you solve it. Not like this. You ignore it. You stop drawing attention to it. It's the sort of problem that would not be there otherwise.

@astrotometry My interest is in creating social architectures which facilitate interesting and productive relationships. I was just using Inmendham as an illustration.

CR, does your aversion to to "nonconsensual confrontation" extend to the maker of the video who does the confronting in the first instance? Or does it only extend to the commenter?
