Cult? I'm not convinced. Is it his religion stuff? He discusses psychological meaning & makes compelling arguments as to why it's important. I still don't know what he means by God and I still don't believe in God. Even after buying both his books and watching hours of lectures.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/954431274210480128 …

It's the difficulty in disagreeing with him, even partially, without 100s of notifications taking it extremely personally, launching into convoluted apologism or strange woo abt the meaning of truth & referring to him as a father, saviour, hope-bringer.

The actions of the fan club can't be mediated by JBP though. He's not responsible for them. I'm more weirded out by Corbyns fans tbh.

Very similar! This is why we've been saying it grows up around him & we need to find something inspiring & unifying which doesn't centre on strange definitions of truth & trad gender roles.https://areomagazine.com/2017/12/08/the-problem-with-truth-and-reason-in-a-post-truth-society/ …

Is what he has said about gender and evolution untrue?

Most of it doesn't fall in the realm of truth or untruth. I disagree ethically on gender roles and epistemologically on whether something being useful is the same as it being true.
