@St_Rev "if god can't have truth we'll make sure nobody else will either!" -
@St_Rev armchair psychology on my part, admittedly, but as an explanatory hypothesis it kind of works -
@schakalsynthetc Can you give examples? -
@St_Rev just, as you say some people *really really* want to be convinced, so just speculating about what's motivating that -
@schakalsynthetc I was thinking of the ortho sector of nrx. Reflected in nonsense like Charlton saying Moldbug's committment to Truth... -
@St_Rev hm, don't really know the nrx taxonomy so I have no referent for the term "ortho". handy representative example? -
@St_Rev funny thing about debating nrx, I'm familiar with most of the *ideas*, but mostly only from original sources -
@schakalsynthetc The essence of nrx is anti-progressivism. Brings together ppl who'd otherwise be hacking each other to death with machetes. - 2 more replies
