THE BATTL OVER FN ARE NOT TAKG PLACE THE SAME UNIVERSE AS THE ONE WHICH MEN THROW AROUND THE TERMS ONLE. BUT FOR THE LOGIC GUYS, THE PURPOSE OF G THE WORDS — THE SACRED, MAGIC WORDS LIKE “LOGIC,” “OBJECTIVY,” “REASON,” “RATNALY,” “FACT” — IS NOT TO VOKE THE ACTUAL NCEPTS THEMSELV. IT’S MORE A KD OF NTATN, WHEREBY CLARG YOUR ARGUMENT THE SGLE “LOGIL” AND “RATNAL” ONE MAGILLY MAK SO — AND BY EXTENSN, MAK YOU BOTH SMART AND RRECT, REGARDLS OF THE ACTUAL RIGOR OR SOURC OF YOUR BELIEFS.FOR MEN, PECIALLY SECURE AND SOCIALLY DISLOTED MEN, THE IA OF “RATNALY” N BE A KD OF FORT BLANKET.

(I DON’T THK ’S A CINCE THAT A LOT OF FIGUR POPULAR THE “REDPILL” MUNY ALSO HAWK NOOTROPIC SUPPLEMENTS.)AN TERTG PARALLEL IS THE E OF THE TERM “THE ENLIGHTENMENT” TO REFER TO AN HISTORIL PERD OF DISVERY PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENC — A PERD THAT IS OFTEN REFERENCED BY SELF-INTIFIED LOGIC LOVERS AS A SORT OF SGLE-E POWER-UP BY SOCIETY: FIRST WE WERE ALL LYG AROUND MUD LIKE THE SERFS MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, THEN WE DID THE ENLIGHTENMENT (AND BY “WE,” OF URSE, THEY MEAN WHE EUROPEAN MEN), AND THEN EVERYTHG WAS SMART UNTIL MARXISTS AND FEMISTS AND POSTSTCTURALISTS MSED ALL UP.IT’S NO WONR THAT MANY YOUNG MEN SEE “LOGIC” AS A SORT OF PERSONALY TRA TO ACHIEVE RATHER THAN A SYSTEM THAT ONE MAY OR MAY NOT BE FOLLOWG AT ANY ONE TIME. IN REALY, “THE ENLIGHTENMENT” WAS POSED OF A LOOSE, MSY ASSORTMENT OF PEOPLE WH VERY DIFFERENT IAS (YOU N EVEN CLU MARX AS AN ENLIGHTENMENT PHILOSOPHER, IF YOU LIKE ). ROSE HAS VERY LTLE MON WH LOCKE, AND OUTRIGHT HATED VOLTAIRE. IN ADDN, MANY ENLIGHTENMENT PHILOSOPHERS HAD DOWNRIGHT SILLY VIEWS ON WOMEN, MORI AND THE LIKE (AS SILVIA FERICI POTS OUT HER SEMAL WORK CALIBAN AND THE WCH: WOMEN, THE BODY AND PRIMIVE ACCUMULATN, MANY OF THE BRILLIANT PHILOSOPHERS STRAIGHT-UP BELIEVED EXECUTG WCH). THIS DO NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO THROW OUT THE BABY WH THE BATHWATER, BUT DO MEAN THAT “PHILOSOPHY HAD ONE GOOD SCHOOL AND THEN STOPPED BEG GOOD THE 19TH CENTURY” IS… NOT A TERRIBLY SOPHISTITED TAKE, BUT ONE THAT SEEMS MORE BASED WANTG TO FD A SHORTCUT TO SUPERRY THAN GOOD-FAH QUIRY.A SIAR LE OF THKG N BE SEEN THE NEW ATHEIST MOVEMENT, WHICH GREW OUT OF A REACTN TO THE DOMANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT DURG THE GEE W. BH ERA, AS WELL AS POST-9/11 FEARS OF ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM. WHILE THERE WERE GENUE NCERNS TO BE RAISED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF RELIG BELIEFS ON PUBLIC POLICY, WHAT ULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD-NATURED MOVEMENT FOR SECULARISM BEME A LIGHTNG ROD FOR TRATED YOUNG MEN WHO WANTED TO SULT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED “SKY-GODS,” TO THE POT WHERE A LOT OF ATHEISTS BEGAN TO LABEL THE MOVEMENT TOXIC AND TRIED TO DISTANCE THEMSELV OM .PERHAPS THE NADIR OF THE MOVEMENT WAS 2011’S “ELEVATATE,” WHICH A PROMENT NEW ATHEIST WOMAN MENTNED THAT A MAN HAD BEHAVED APPROPRIATELY TO HER AT AN ATHEIST NVENTN AND ADVISED OTHER WOMEN TO AVOID THIS SUATN FUTURE, AND LOTS OF ATHEIST MEN PROMPTLY LOST THEIR SH. AN OVER-THE-TOP REACTN TO WOMEN SPEAKG OUT AGAST HARASSMENT IS NOT UNIQUE TO THIS MOVEMENT; FOR EVERY ARTICLE PRAISG #METOO, THERE SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER OM A VERY CONCERNED MAN WHO WORRI THAT EVERYTHG IS GOG TOO FAR AND HE’S AAID TO EVEN TALK TO WOMEN NOW!BUT I SPECT THE REASON THE REACTN TO ELEVATATE WAS SO VRLIC WAS NOT JT ABOUT GENERAL SEXISM, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE THREAT POSED TO THE NEW ATHEIST SENSE OF MORAL SUPERRY. IT WAS MUCH LS FUN FOR THEM TO RECKON WH SAY, THE PLEX SOCIAL STCTUR WH THE SKEPTIC MUNY, AND THE WAY THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE MOVEMENT, THAN WAS TO MAKE FUN OF SOME HICK WHO ULDN’T GET HIS HEAD ROUND EVOLUTN. THOSE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO HAD SOME LEARNG TO DO — FOR THE NEW ATHEISTS THEMSELV, THERE WAS NOTHG MORE TO LEARN. IF PEOPLE OM MARGALISED GROUPS WH THE MOVEMENT STARTED SPEAKG ABOUT ISSU WHICH VOLVED LISTENG AND LEARNG, OR SELF-REFLECTG ON ONE’S BIAS… WELL, THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE, SCE WOULD REQUIRE WIR READG AND UNRSTANDG OF ISSU THAT WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCSIBLE OR ATHETILLY PLEASG TO MANY NEW ATHEIST MEN.IN RETROSPECT, ’S UNSURPRISG THAT A LOT OF NEW ATHEISM VOLVED TO REACTNARY, ANTIFEMIST, AND EVEN WHE SUPREMACIST THOUGHT, BEE WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT THE THGS CLAIMED TO BE ABOUT. THE DOMANT AFFECT OF NEW ATHEISM WASN’T HUY, OR REFLEXIVY, OR CURSY, ALL THE THGS ONE TLY NEEDS TO IMPROVE TELLECTUALLY. IT WAS SMUGNS.ANOTHER MON CHARACTERISTIC OF THE “LOGICKIER THAN THOU” MOVEMENTS IS A NARROW FOC ON THE TYPE OF SKILL THAT N BE CLASSED AS “TELLIGENCE.” AFFY FOR THGS LIKE SOCIAL TERACTN, LANGUAG, OR THE ARTS (OR AT LEAST CERTA TYP OF ART) OFTEN DON’T GET A LOOK-. EVERYTHG MT BE RCIBLE TO NUMBERS, HENCE THE TYPIL LOGIC LOVER’S OBSSN WH IQ.IN THE MISMEASURE OF MAN, ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN CRIQU OF TELLIGENCE REARCH, STEPHEN JAY GOULD NOT THE DANGERS OF SCIENTISTS’ BIAS TOWARD REIFITN — THE SIRE TO FD A FIVE THG THAT IS TELLIGENCE — AND QUANTIFITN, THE SIRE TO SLAP NUMBERS ON STUFF. WHILE THIS IS UNRSTANDABLE TO AN EXTENT — THGS AND NUMBERS ARE EASY TO UNRSTAND AT-A-GLANCE — GOULD WARNS THAT THIS HAS LED TO BAD SCIENCE AND PERVERSE OUT THE PAST, AND THREATENS TO MISLEAD TO POOR UNRSTANDGS OF TELLIGENCE, AT THE EXPENSE OF NUANCE AND PLEXY. THIS IS ALL OF LTLE NCERN TO THE LOGIC LOVER, WHO WISH NOT TO UNRSTAND, BUT TO E AGA AND AGA THEIR FAVORE MAGIC WORDS, AS A SHIELD AGAST CRICISM AND AS A WEAPON AGAST OTHERS.A GOOD, NTEMPORARY EXAMPLE OF THE LOGIC NTATN AT WORK N BE FOUND THE REER OF BEN SHAPIRO. SHAPIRO, A POPULAR NSERVATIVE PUND WH HALF A LN YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS AND 1.86 LN TWTER FOLLOWERS, IS KNOWN FOR HIS MANTRA “FACTS DON’T RE ABOUT YOUR FEELGS.” YOUTUBE IS FULL OF VIOS TLED THGS LIKE “BRILLIANT BEN SHAPIRO DESTROYS LLEGE FEMIST WH REASON AND INTELLIGENCE.” (THE PREVALENCE OF THE TERM “STROY” IS TERTG — IF YOU STROY SOMETHG, ’S NOT THERE TO BOTHER YOU ANYMORE, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY LONGER. HMM.) A NEW YORK TIM PROFILE LLED SHAPIRO “THE OL KID’S PHILOSOPHER.” THE RIGHT-LEANG RNERS OF THE TER ARE FULL OF ADMIRATN FOR JT HOW LOGIL HE IS.THE LOGIC LOVER WISH TO E AGA AND AGA THEIR FAVORE MAGIC WORDS AS A SHIELD AGAST CRICISM AND AS A WEAPON AGAST OTHERS. THIS IS A TTAMENT TO THE POWER OF BRANDG, BEE ON CLOSER SPECTN, SHAPIRO ISN’T A VERY LOGIL PERSON AT ALL. IN CURRENT AFFAIRS, NATHAN ROBSON LAID OUT A LENGTHY TAKEDOWN HOW SHAPIRO’S ADMTEDLY SHARP LAW-SCHOOL SKILLS BELIE THE FACT THAT HALF THE TIME HE SPEAKS, HE SULTS RATHER THAN ARGUMENTS, AND THE OTHER HALF, THE ARGUMENTS ARE UALLY FALLAC (IF YOU SUPPORT A HIGHER TAX RATE ON RPORATNS, “WHY NOT MAKE TAX RAT 100 PERCENT”?) AND/OR BASED ON HEAVILY IOLOGIL AND EMOTNAL PRUPPOSNS.SHAPIRO MATAS THAT GAY PARENTS SHOULDN’T ADOPT CHILDREN BEE “A MAN AND A WOMAN DO A BETTER JOB OF RAISG A CHILD THAN TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN,” RELYG ON AN OLD REACTNARY TROPE RATHER THAN A PREPONRANCE OF THE EVINCE THAT SHOWS CHILDREN ADOPTED BY SAME-SEX UPL DO AS WELL AS THOSE ADOPTED BY DIFFERENT-SEX UPL. HE SISTS ON MISGENRG TRANS PEOPLE BEE HE BELIEV THAT PRONOUNS SHOULD BE ED BASED ON A PERSON’S CHROMOSOM, A POSN THAT WOULD GET YOU LGHED OUT OF A ROOM EHER OF MEDIL PROFSNALS OR OF LGUISTS. HIS POSN ON THE UNLAWFUL ACTNS OF THE ISRAELI ERNMENT, AS ROBSON ILLTRAT HIS TAKEDOWN, SEEMS TO BE ENTIRELY BASED ON A BATN OF HIS PERSONAL RELIG BELIEFS AND AN SISTENCE THAT PALTIAN ARAB CIVILIANS ARE “EVIL” (A POSN WHICH HAS LED HIM TO SUPPORT ETHNIC CLEANSG THE OCCUPIED TERRORI).NONE OF THIS SEEMS LIKE “LOGIC” TO ME. IT SEEMS LIKE A PERSON WHO HAS VERY STRONGLY HELD PRUPPOSNS THAT THEY SIST ON HOLDG ONTO THE WAY A CHILD HOLDS ONTO THEIR STUFFED ANIMAL — STUBBORNLY, AND WH A ILLY OWNY FACE YOU KD OF WANT TO TICKLE UNR THE CH.“AND STILL THE BRAND ENDUR,” AS @DRIL WOULD PUT . ACRDG TO HIS SUPPORTERS, AND EVEN MANY WHO MIGHT NOT SUPPORT HIM, BEN SHAPIRO LOV FACTS. WHY? WELL, BEE HE SAYS HE LOV FACTS. HE’S NOT BASG HIS ASSERTNS ON FEELGS, AND WE KNOW THIS BEE HE SAYS THAT HE ISN’T. (OF URSE, TO ASSERT THIS AS A POSIVE THG REQUIR THE PRUPPOSN THAT FEELGS ARE HERENTLY BAD AND IRRELEVANT TO POLIL DISURSE, WHICH IS NOT NECSARILY TE. BUT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN -PTH KNOWLEDGE OF EPISTEMOLOGY AND POLIL PHILOSOPHY, WHICH IS BEYOND THE SPE OF THIS PIECE. ENOUGH OF THIS BLABBER ABOUT “THE MEANG OF KNOWLEDGE,” PLEASE. JT THE FACTS, MA’AM. ) BY SISTG ON THIS TERPRETATN OF HIS OWN CHARACTER, OVER AND OVER, BUOYED BY THE IDOLATRO SUPPORT OF HIS LOYAL FANS AND THE SNARKY TL OF HIS CLICKBA VIOS, SHAPIRO NJUR TO BEG AN IMAGE OF HIMSELF AS THE RATNAL MAN.

CALLG YOUR OPNS AND FEELGS “RATNAL,” AS OPPOSED TO THE “IRRATNAL” OPNS AND FEELGS OF OTHERS, IS A SHORTCUT TO BOOSTG YOUR SELF-TEEM. AND ’S CERTALY NOT AS THOUGH THIS TENNCY IS UNIQUE TO REACTNARI; I THK WE’RE ALL PRONE TO THIS SOMETIM.

GAY LOGIC

It’s “Okay” to Be Gay, and You Need to Know Why. Rpondg to the Gay Guy Said, “I Was Born This Way”. Gay Logic Is Not Logil.

I do not adhere to the “gay logic” that says there is only their view and they will not stop until I believe as they do. Usg “gay logic, ” any person uld twist scripture to jtify their practic while admonishg anyone who is agast them. I say that homosexualy is a s; you say ’s not.

THIS DO NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO THROW OUT THE BABY WH THE BATHWATER, BUT DO MEAN THAT “PHILOSOPHY HAD ONE GOOD SCHOOL AND THEN STOPPED BEG GOOD THE 19TH CENTURY” IS… NOT A TERRIBLY SOPHISTITED TAKE, BUT ONE THAT SEEMS MORE BASED WANTG TO FD A SHORTCUT TO SUPERRY THAN GOOD-FAH QUIRY.A SIAR LE OF THKG N BE SEEN THE NEW ATHEIST MOVEMENT, WHICH GREW OUT OF A REACTN TO THE DOMANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT DURG THE GEE W. BH ERA, AS WELL AS POST-9/11 FEARS OF ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM. WHILE THERE WERE GENUE NCERNS TO BE RAISED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF RELIG BELIEFS ON PUBLIC POLICY, WHAT ULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD-NATURED MOVEMENT FOR SECULARISM BEME A LIGHTNG ROD FOR TRATED YOUNG MEN WHO WANTED TO SULT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED “SKY-GODS,” TO THE POT WHERE A LOT OF ATHEISTS BEGAN TO LABEL THE MOVEMENT TOXIC AND TRIED TO DISTANCE THEMSELV OM .PERHAPS THE NADIR OF THE MOVEMENT WAS 2011’S “ELEVATATE,” WHICH A PROMENT NEW ATHEIST WOMAN MENTNED THAT A MAN HAD BEHAVED APPROPRIATELY TO HER AT AN ATHEIST NVENTN AND ADVISED OTHER WOMEN TO AVOID THIS SUATN FUTURE, AND LOTS OF ATHEIST MEN PROMPTLY LOST THEIR SH. AN OVER-THE-TOP REACTN TO WOMEN SPEAKG OUT AGAST HARASSMENT IS NOT UNIQUE TO THIS MOVEMENT; FOR EVERY ARTICLE PRAISG #METOO, THERE SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER OM A VERY CONCERNED MAN WHO WORRI THAT EVERYTHG IS GOG TOO FAR AND HE’S AAID TO EVEN TALK TO WOMEN NOW!BUT I SPECT THE REASON THE REACTN TO ELEVATATE WAS SO VRLIC WAS NOT JT ABOUT GENERAL SEXISM, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE THREAT POSED TO THE NEW ATHEIST SENSE OF MORAL SUPERRY. IT WAS MUCH LS FUN FOR THEM TO RECKON WH SAY, THE PLEX SOCIAL STCTUR WH THE SKEPTIC MUNY, AND THE WAY THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE MOVEMENT, THAN WAS TO MAKE FUN OF SOME HICK WHO ULDN’T GET HIS HEAD ROUND EVOLUTN. THOSE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO HAD SOME LEARNG TO DO — FOR THE NEW ATHEISTS THEMSELV, THERE WAS NOTHG MORE TO LEARN. IF PEOPLE OM MARGALISED GROUPS WH THE MOVEMENT STARTED SPEAKG ABOUT ISSU WHICH VOLVED LISTENG AND LEARNG, OR SELF-REFLECTG ON ONE’S BIAS… WELL, THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE, SCE WOULD REQUIRE WIR READG AND UNRSTANDG OF ISSU THAT WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCSIBLE OR ATHETILLY PLEASG TO MANY NEW ATHEIST MEN.IN RETROSPECT, ’S UNSURPRISG THAT A LOT OF NEW ATHEISM VOLVED TO REACTNARY, ANTIFEMIST, AND EVEN WHE SUPREMACIST THOUGHT, BEE WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT THE THGS CLAIMED TO BE ABOUT. THE DOMANT AFFECT OF NEW ATHEISM WASN’T HUY, OR REFLEXIVY, OR CURSY, ALL THE THGS ONE TLY NEEDS TO IMPROVE TELLECTUALLY. IT WAS SMUGNS.ANOTHER MON CHARACTERISTIC OF THE “LOGICKIER THAN THOU” MOVEMENTS IS A NARROW FOC ON THE TYPE OF SKILL THAT N BE CLASSED AS “TELLIGENCE.” AFFY FOR THGS LIKE SOCIAL TERACTN, LANGUAG, OR THE ARTS (OR AT LEAST CERTA TYP OF ART) OFTEN DON’T GET A LOOK-. EVERYTHG MT BE RCIBLE TO NUMBERS, HENCE THE TYPIL LOGIC LOVER’S OBSSN WH IQ.IN THE MISMEASURE OF MAN, ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN CRIQU OF TELLIGENCE REARCH, STEPHEN JAY GOULD NOT THE DANGERS OF SCIENTISTS’ BIAS TOWARD REIFITN — THE SIRE TO FD A FIVE THG THAT IS TELLIGENCE — AND QUANTIFITN, THE SIRE TO SLAP NUMBERS ON STUFF. WHILE THIS IS UNRSTANDABLE TO AN EXTENT — THGS AND NUMBERS ARE EASY TO UNRSTAND AT-A-GLANCE — GOULD WARNS THAT THIS HAS LED TO BAD SCIENCE AND PERVERSE OUT THE PAST, AND THREATENS TO MISLEAD TO POOR UNRSTANDGS OF TELLIGENCE, AT THE EXPENSE OF NUANCE AND PLEXY. THIS IS ALL OF LTLE NCERN TO THE LOGIC LOVER, WHO WISH NOT TO UNRSTAND, BUT TO E AGA AND AGA THEIR FAVORE MAGIC WORDS, AS A SHIELD AGAST CRICISM AND AS A WEAPON AGAST OTHERS.A GOOD, NTEMPORARY EXAMPLE OF THE LOGIC NTATN AT WORK N BE FOUND THE REER OF BEN SHAPIRO. SHAPIRO, A POPULAR NSERVATIVE PUND WH HALF A LN YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS AND 1.86 LN TWTER FOLLOWERS, IS KNOWN FOR HIS MANTRA “FACTS DON’T RE ABOUT YOUR FEELGS.” YOUTUBE IS FULL OF VIOS TLED THGS LIKE “BRILLIANT BEN SHAPIRO DESTROYS LLEGE FEMIST WH REASON AND INTELLIGENCE.” (THE PREVALENCE OF THE TERM “STROY” IS TERTG — IF YOU STROY SOMETHG, ’S NOT THERE TO BOTHER YOU ANYMORE, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY LONGER. HMM.) A NEW YORK TIM PROFILE LLED SHAPIRO “THE OL KID’S PHILOSOPHER.” THE RIGHT-LEANG RNERS OF THE TER ARE FULL OF ADMIRATN FOR JT HOW LOGIL HE IS.THE LOGIC LOVER WISH TO E AGA AND AGA THEIR FAVORE MAGIC WORDS AS A SHIELD AGAST CRICISM AND AS A WEAPON AGAST OTHERS. THIS IS A TTAMENT TO THE POWER OF BRANDG, BEE ON CLOSER SPECTN, SHAPIRO ISN’T A VERY LOGIL PERSON AT ALL. IN CURRENT AFFAIRS, NATHAN ROBSON LAID OUT A LENGTHY TAKEDOWN HOW SHAPIRO’S ADMTEDLY SHARP LAW-SCHOOL SKILLS BELIE THE FACT THAT HALF THE TIME HE SPEAKS, HE SULTS RATHER THAN ARGUMENTS, AND THE OTHER HALF, THE ARGUMENTS ARE UALLY FALLAC (IF YOU SUPPORT A HIGHER TAX RATE ON RPORATNS, “WHY NOT MAKE TAX RAT 100 PERCENT”?) AND/OR BASED ON HEAVILY IOLOGIL AND EMOTNAL PRUPPOSNS.SHAPIRO MATAS THAT GAY PARENTS SHOULDN’T ADOPT CHILDREN BEE “A MAN AND A WOMAN DO A BETTER JOB OF RAISG A CHILD THAN TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN,” RELYG ON AN OLD REACTNARY TROPE RATHER THAN A PREPONRANCE OF THE EVINCE THAT SHOWS CHILDREN ADOPTED BY SAME-SEX UPL DO AS WELL AS THOSE ADOPTED BY DIFFERENT-SEX UPL. HE SISTS ON MISGENRG TRANS PEOPLE BEE HE BELIEV THAT PRONOUNS SHOULD BE ED BASED ON A PERSON’S CHROMOSOM, A POSN THAT WOULD GET YOU LGHED OUT OF A ROOM EHER OF MEDIL PROFSNALS OR OF LGUISTS. HIS POSN ON THE UNLAWFUL ACTNS OF THE ISRAELI ERNMENT, AS ROBSON ILLTRAT HIS TAKEDOWN, SEEMS TO BE ENTIRELY BASED ON A BATN OF HIS PERSONAL RELIG BELIEFS AND AN SISTENCE THAT PALTIAN ARAB CIVILIANS ARE “EVIL” (A POSN WHICH HAS LED HIM TO SUPPORT ETHNIC CLEANSG THE OCCUPIED TERRORI).NONE OF THIS SEEMS LIKE “LOGIC” TO ME. IT SEEMS LIKE A PERSON WHO HAS VERY STRONGLY HELD PRUPPOSNS THAT THEY SIST ON HOLDG ONTO THE WAY A CHILD HOLDS ONTO THEIR STUFFED ANIMAL — STUBBORNLY, AND WH A ILLY OWNY FACE YOU KD OF WANT TO TICKLE UNR THE CH.“AND STILL THE BRAND ENDUR,” AS @DRIL WOULD PUT . ACRDG TO HIS SUPPORTERS, AND EVEN MANY WHO MIGHT NOT SUPPORT HIM, BEN SHAPIRO LOV FACTS. WHY? WELL, BEE HE SAYS HE LOV FACTS. HE’S NOT BASG HIS ASSERTNS ON FEELGS, AND WE KNOW THIS BEE HE SAYS THAT HE ISN’T. (OF URSE, TO ASSERT THIS AS A POSIVE THG REQUIR THE PRUPPOSN THAT FEELGS ARE HERENTLY BAD AND IRRELEVANT TO POLIL DISURSE, WHICH IS NOT NECSARILY TE. BUT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN -PTH KNOWLEDGE OF EPISTEMOLOGY AND POLIL PHILOSOPHY, WHICH IS BEYOND THE SPE OF THIS PIECE. ENOUGH OF THIS BLABBER ABOUT “THE MEANG OF KNOWLEDGE,” PLEASE. JT THE FACTS, MA’AM. ) BY SISTG ON THIS TERPRETATN OF HIS OWN CHARACTER, OVER AND OVER, BUOYED BY THE IDOLATRO SUPPORT OF HIS LOYAL FANS AND THE SNARKY TL OF HIS CLICKBA VIOS, SHAPIRO NJUR TO BEG AN IMAGE OF HIMSELF AS THE RATNAL MAN. SAY THE MAGIC WORDS ENOUGH TIM, AND THE SPELL WILL BE ST OVER YOUR DIENCE.TO BE HONT, EVEN THOUGH I’M NOT A MAN, THIS IS A TENNCY I UNRSTAND. PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL SMART. CALLG YOUR OPNS AND FEELGS “RATNAL,” AS OPPOSED TO THE “IRRATNAL” OPNS AND FEELGS OF OTHERS, IS A SHORTCUT TO BOOSTG YOUR SELF-TEEM. AND ’S CERTALY NOT AS THOUGH THIS TENNCY IS UNIQUE TO REACTNARI; I THK WE’RE ALL PRONE TO THIS SOMETIM. THE KEY IS TO REGNIZE THIS FOR WHAT IS — NOTHG MORE THAN A BIAS THAT WE MT OVERE, ORR TO CLEARLY INTIFY HOW EXACTLY WE ME TO A VIEWPOT, AND WHETHER TLY HOLDS UP TO SCTY. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ANY RECENT NVERT, WHETHER ’S TO THE INTELLECTUAL DARK WEB, OR MUNISM, OR CROSSF. WE MT NOT MISTAKE OUR IMAGED TRANSFIGURATN OM REGULAR PERSON TO OMNISCIENT WIZARD FOR REALY.CALLG YOUR OPNS AND FEELGS “RATNAL,” AS OPPOSED TO THE “IRRATNAL” OPNS AND FEELGS OF OTHERS, IS A SHORTCUT TO BOOSTG YOUR SELF-TEEM. THIS IS MY ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE SPELL, I GUS. REPEAT AFTER ME: LLG SOMETHG LOGIC DON’T MAKE SO. CALLG SOMEONE RATNAL DON’T MAKE SO. OPNS OM YOUTUBE MEN ARE NOT FACTS. GETTG MAD ABOUT PHILOSOPHERS YOU HAVEN’T READ ISN’T REASON. INSULTG YOUR GIRLIEND BEE SHE QUTNS YOUR SUDN POLIL SHIFT ISN’T LOGIC. FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO HATE THE SUPPOSED REFN OF WORDS WHEN TO GENR AND RACE; FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY MAD ABOUT THE POSTMORN TENNCY TO SAY NOTHG MEANS ANYTHG (OR AT LEAST THIS IS AN ASPECT OF POSTMORNISM THEY SEEM TO HAVE GLEANED OM THEIR FAVORE SUBREDDS), THE NEW YOUNG REACTNARI ARE REMARKABLY VIL-MAY-RE ABOUT CERTA WORDS WHEN THEY SEEM TO LEND CREDIBILY AND STRENGTH TO THEIR OPNS.BY REPEATG THE MAGIC WORDS, THEY AVOID HAVG TO AL WH A GOME FACT, ONE THAT REALLY DON’T RE ABOUT THEIR FEELGS: THAT THEY ARE JT A PERSON ON A PUTER WH AN OPN, TALKG TO OTHER PEOPLE ON PUTERS WH OPNS. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE GUYS.
