Do you have a true arch-nemesis?
In all the discussions people like @jordanbpeterson, @BretWeinstein, @benshapiro and I are having about the importance of archetypes, almost no one I meet has chosen an arch-nemesis.
Let’s change that. [cc: @garrettlisi]https://youtu.be/5ZN-9RlGfRg
If you resonate with this video, please comment and let me know: A) Do you have a true arch-nemesis? B) Who would be some great pairs of mutual antagonists in the public sphere. Who knows...Perhaps we can get them to face off on a public stage with your help. Thx...as always.
Nassim Talib vs everyone else
I would enjoy an event with Taleb and a gaggle of his nemeses where it’s understood upfront that nobody is trying to find common ground. It’s just all of them saying vicious shit to eachother for a couple hours. I’d pay for that
The great dishonest intellectual rap battle. Why not?
Best pairing is Peterson and Taleb. They are doing the same thing, Taleb with math (antifragility) and Peterson with language (chaos/order).
A) Spam Harris as a stand in for the IYI, pseudo intellectual archetype.
B1) Peterson & Rupert Sheldrake
B2) You, @BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson and myself discussing the interplay of the Logos and Leviathan across culture and economics.
That guy who stops when merging on to the highway.
a) I have rivals I respect, but no true arch-nemesis yet
b) @jordanbpeterson and @Slavojiek -- A Jungian and a Lacanian, a Marxist and an enemy of Marx, the neurotic philospopher and the conscientious therapist - and yet both highly value christianity, the individual, and truth
Additionally, they are both enemies of postmodernism and political correctness --but they appraoch these topics from completely different angles
I liked the moderated sit down w/ Schmidt and Thiel. That needs to be on everyone's playlist As for much of your crew, you have the whole MSM to select from. You are a tough one to call though. Gotta get a little creative here.
Just viewed in full. Sounds like a good choice but you should still have a suggestion box and a poll for yourself.
Obama v Thomas sowell
Arch-nemeses are for childrens' stories. The wiser you get, the more you realize there are no villains in your life.
Watch the video. It’s worth it. The arch nemesis is someone with the same goals but a different approach.
Debates I'd like to see:
@jordanbpeterson vs @harari_yuval on stories and free will
@nntaleb vs @harari_yuval on localism vs globalism
Chomsky v sowell
Steve Bannon and the Economist chief editor interview is in the right ball park, same as the Ezra - Sam podcast debate. Interested to see more like this
What a staggeringly shallow question to ask. Which Cults of Personality would you like to see in a cage match? You've become an intellectual professional wrestling promoter. How about asking about competing ideas and not people? Focus on ideas / personalities.
