Stefan MolyneuxVerified account

Her: I’m a philosophy professor. Also her: you would never debate a real scholar! You: Let’s set up a debate. Her: Nah, you haven’t paid your dues.

Honk honk

"Peer review" within academia is just one giant circle jerk. "Standard of Review" my a$$!

Yes. Her work is reviewed by other rear end kissing peers. No one is rocking the tenure boat.

Scholarship = group thought in a university setting. That's how you get tenure. How do you get an A in the class, submit to the group thought. The rotting of scholarship has metastasized in education.

If there is one thing about Plato we would be certain about, it’s that he would scoff at people who didn’t publish work to peer reviewed journals. Something he picked up from his mentor, who also thought the approval of peers was super important.

Rebuttal: "That Stefan Molyneux is dangerous! People like him would see people lose everything just to strip power out from under us" I appreciate that my philosophy professors were more like you, sir.

Monopolies do not form in a “capitalistic society” without the help of the government!

The fact that she is a climate hoax advocate, alone, makes her judgment in any area suspect to me.

A better truth I have not heard

Fear not Stefan..... Diogenes of Sinope and Socrates/Daemon- would gaze upon modern Academia’s Classical Departments (and their march toward egalitarianism)- with a jaundiced eye. The words flea and invalid come to mind respectively.

@THEWRENCHLEFT I can just tune into any political debate and learn Argumentum ad Hominem and Argumentum ad Baculum for free.

Imagine if you will philosophy having a rigid structure that is guarded by gatekeepers of the truth

Experience has shown me whenever you see the sort of arrogance she displays it's usually built on a very shaky foundation.

Oh, HER.

you get what you pay for, my good Sir.

Like absolute power.
