The more I read Moldbug, the more inane Moldbug gets. Bumper sticker philosophy for people who want to drive Star Destroyers.

@St_Rev@david_kenneth_d exactly! and it's partly bc people don't get that a *valid* argument is not the same thing as a *sound* argument. -
@St_Rev@david_kenneth_d "but you admit that if my premises *were* true, my conclusions *would* be justified." "of course! but they're not." -
@schakalsynthetc@david_kenneth_d Moldbug's arguments frequently don't follow from his premises, but from torturing definitions. -
@St_Rev@david_kenneth_d yeah, it's shamefully easy to win the argument when you get to define all the terms -
@St_Rev@david_kenneth_d one reason a writer who makes you learn their idiolect in order to follow the argument should be viewed w/suspicion -
@St_Rev@david_kenneth_d (one is tempted to verb it "Heideggering")
