00:01:49.480
up to a five minute closing statement and uh jay we're going to have you give your opening statement
00:01:55.180
first go ahead thank you for joining us thanks brian appreciate it yeah so i take the position that
00:02:00.800
feminism is absolutely destructive to society the only healthy society that we can have is a patriarchal
00:02:07.700
society if you look at the history of the world history civilizations we notice that the the natural
00:02:13.640
formation the natural structure that all societies almost across the board maybe a few tribal
00:02:19.080
societies have had a matriarchy but most societies fall into some form of natural hierarchy hierarchy
00:02:25.300
is found in nature we see it in the animal kingdom we see it in the manimal kingdom that we inhabit
00:02:30.640
and when we look through history we find certain civilizations have flourished particularly with a
00:02:36.060
worldview or philosophy that gives it its social cohesion the longest running civilization in history the
00:02:43.200
most successful the most prosperous was byzantium byzantium was an orthodox christian
00:02:48.480
imperium dating back to the time of constantine all the way up into the 1400s when it fell to islam
00:02:54.460
due to liberalization due to forms of modernization certain economic open borders policy shall we say
00:03:00.940
that led to the decline of byzantium so even in the most successful civilization in history in byzantium
00:03:08.900
we begin to notice that the liberalization of that society is what led to its decline and its
00:03:14.580
eventual collapse and even falling to islam if we fast forward to modernity we look at women's rights
00:03:21.360
for the idea of the first wave of feminism feminism find its finds its origins in french revolutionary
00:03:29.440
philosophy which led to the first wave i should say french french revolutionary french revolutionary
00:03:33.940
philosophy with mary wallstonecraft and others posited the idea of absolute equality in society
00:03:40.020
based around the principles of liberty equality fraternity all which were revolutionary at the
00:03:45.460
time and sought to overthrow not just the church and not just the state or the monarchy or a patriarchal
00:03:51.300
society but all society all revolu all areas of life had to be revolutionized since that time we've had
00:03:58.500
second wave feminism we've had third wave feminism third wave feminism interestingly which not many people
00:04:03.140
know was actually funded by very wealthy powerful oligarchical elites in fact in the rockefeller's
00:04:09.540
authorized biography there's an entire chapter on abby rockefeller's funding of third wave feminism
00:04:15.860
and cell 16 which was the most radical form of this this is really what prepared the way for the
00:04:21.700
absolute insane degeneracy that we see in today's society western civilization in other words could not have
00:04:26.900
gotten to the point that we're at had we not had first second and third wave feminism preparing the way
00:04:33.940
for the absolute and total revolution against all natural order all biological order and the notion of
00:04:42.100
patriarchy itself in fact many of the famous feminists over the last several decades have openly said that
00:04:48.020
in order to destroy western civilization they would have to destroy the masculine archetype the patriarch that
00:04:54.020
is god the father had to be destroyed to make way for the rise of the goddess etc all the various
00:05:00.580
things that we see attending to or accompanying the revolution that is feminism if you look on my wall
00:05:06.580
on x right now you'll notice at the very top is an interview that the famous director aaron russo did with
00:05:11.940
uh a friend of mine alex jones and in that interview they discuss aaron russo's interview with
00:05:17.700
nick rockefeller and nick rockefeller said that the greatest tool to revolutionize and control society
00:05:23.460
was feminism modern feminism changed the landscape of getting women out of the house into the workforce
00:05:30.260
quote so that they could be taxed and that there would be less children less families so we have
00:05:36.660
from one of the key elites from the rockefeller family admitting that the purpose of this was to
00:05:41.940
change society reduce population tie it into neoliberal economics taxation on a mass scale for the
00:05:48.900
population and thus it has been an absolute disaster and it has nothing to do with equality
00:05:55.060
it has to do with control it has to do with social country it's dystopian has to do with social dystopian
00:05:59.060
control putting us into a utilitarian technocratic society and i would say that this is all an attempt
00:06:06.100
admittedly if you go back to people like early feminists like wallstonecraft or others throughout history
00:06:11.220
alexander colontai of the bolshevik revolution they all speak about this as intimately tied into
00:06:16.660
not just sexual revolution but the overthrow of masculinity ultimately the overthrow of the idea
00:06:22.660
of god the father the ultimate patriarch and that's where we are today is in a society that has adopted
00:06:28.420
revolutionary philosophy that is ultimately anti-male anti-biology anti-reality because they all go
00:06:35.860
together in other words feminism cannot be divorced from the revolution against biology the revolution
00:06:41.220
against masculinity the revolution against every area of life that is healthy wholesome and uh based
00:06:49.620
around patriarchy all right thank you for that jay uh kyla would you like to uh give your opening
00:06:57.220
statement though sure um it isn't gonna be nearly as long uh but that was i was really interesting and
00:07:03.460
i basically would grant you lots of that stuff i would essentially argue that feminism is not only
00:07:08.980
a necessity it's unavoidable i think that's where society tends to go i think women joining the workforce
00:07:15.380
while there's lots of cons with it one of the biggest pros is the massive boost to gdp and just
00:07:20.900
the competitiveness of every nation that includes women and overall i think feminism is broadly good
00:07:27.140
for society but i am sure that i would be happy to talk with you about number of areas that i think
00:07:32.180
have been harmful for society i think feminism has been co-opted and often twisted i think particularly
00:07:37.620
in the third wave we saw this um by what i would call gender opportunists um and so when i think about
00:07:44.820
feminism uh i'm more interested in a feminism that is centralized around uh empowering women
00:07:52.020
and uh promoting femininity um i think when you talk about egalitarianism i think it's really
00:07:58.980
interesting concept but i think we need to be precise in what we talk about so i guess to open
00:08:04.980
and maybe start with a question um with your philosophy background i'm sure you're familiar
00:08:09.620
um with heidegger's concept of chatter uh no okay so um heidegger uh interesting philosopher from the
00:08:18.980
40s but he has this idea of chatter that i think is really interesting for discussion which is
00:08:22.660
essentially how a lot of times when people have like philosophical and idea wrestling conversations
00:08:28.420
they use the same word but they have different meanings for those words and so then the whole
00:08:32.420
conversation is just essentially garbage that's what he calls like idle chatter and so i'm curious if
00:08:38.340
what you'd be willing to do for this conversation is if we could make sure that we agree on what we
00:08:42.660
mean by certain words so that we can actually talk about the ideas underneath them and hopefully come
00:08:47.140
to a better understanding of everything what are the words you would like uh specified or probably
00:08:53.140
for this conversation we should talk about patriarchy and feminism will seem like the most obvious
00:08:57.540
things to define um and then after that just if we come to a word that we keep both using
00:09:02.660
would probably just be useful to define it and make sure that we agree to what we're talking about
00:09:06.580
if that works yeah okay would you like to start with your definitions and then jay can give his
00:09:10.580
sure so where you guys agree um yeah i'm curious so patriarchy i would define it as a hierarchical
00:09:15.380
structure where men monopolize soft and hard power um i think that they have authority i wouldn't say
00:09:24.100
it's a monopoly on power because women can have a degree of influence and power in society but it's
00:09:29.780
under the headship of a man so for example uh a job right um as an example proverbs 31 talks about
00:09:37.780
women being able to work but it's sort of under the purview of the husband so it's not independence
00:09:44.020
it's not doing their own thing it's a family unit working together so there's roles sure so when we're
00:09:50.740
thinking about like a job um so when i think about a higher uh a monopoly of hard and soft power in my
00:09:58.180
mind i'm thinking law like kind of like men are mostly monopolizing positions in law but also soft
00:10:05.540
power like media and kind of able to kind of set the tone culturally as well so they kind of have these
00:10:11.860
uh areas of power mostly fully occupied by men um particularly systems where men force it to be the
00:10:19.620
case that it's only men in those positions yeah monopoly is a difficult term because it suggests
00:10:25.300
totality and again there can be a shared uh situation here that's not a total monopoly
00:10:31.940
um okay i'm fine i'll go with it it's fine sure um we can say like a soft monopoly or something like
00:10:37.300
that but essentially uh hierarchical structure where men tend to mostly occupy positions of power okay
00:10:42.660
um feminism i define it as the empowerment of women and promotion of femininity do you agree with
00:10:47.540
that or do you have a very different definition um i i think of it as something necessarily tied
00:10:52.820
to revolution and i think when you say the word empowerment it's also ambiguous because that
00:10:58.020
could be a lot of things in different contexts so i don't know what you think empowerment is okay
00:11:01.860
so by empowerment what i mean is typically going to be uh i'm very big freedom of opportunity person
00:11:08.340
liberal um guilty as charged so empowerment would be uh eroding any obstacles to
00:11:14.660
um disadvantages or inabilities to take opportunities other people would have
00:11:20.260
um that would be one way of empowering someone so for example uh there's a ted talk about 10 years ago
00:11:26.660
and one of the ladies who was a die-hard sort of ceo out of the academic world she went into academia
00:11:32.980
and then became a ceo she was bragging that most ceos now this was again about 10 years ago are now women
00:11:39.620
that we're reaching some tipping point there's a large majority of women that are now ceos do you
00:11:45.620
think that's good is that fair because i would see that as a revolution against male authority i see it
00:11:53.620
a i am very dubious of her claim a b i see it as like neutral i don't really i don't really care who
00:12:02.260
trickles up to the top so long as the people who trickle to the top did so because there was free
00:12:07.540
opportunity to do so right so like in our society i'm sure here's something we probably agree on
00:12:12.500
most of the positions of power in our society are occupied men because men tend to be more extreme
00:12:17.540
like they're just more extreme in bell curve like genetically um and they don't often take time
00:12:23.540
away from work with kids so they have a little bit more time to dedicate so we see at the highest
00:12:28.260
levels of trickling to the top men typically occupy those roles i'm sure you and i would agree yeah but
00:12:32.660
when you say extreme again this is a very ambiguous term extreme in their views extreme on the bell
00:12:37.620
sorry i meant genetically like so because of the y axis specifically so i don't know if you know
00:12:42.500
anything about iq research for example i know some about that so men um well like obviously the average
00:12:47.300
iq for men and women is 100 uh because it's normalized men tend to occupy a bit more of those extreme
00:12:53.300
spaces they're both the lowest and the highest iq um and we see men doing that all the time they tend to
00:12:59.940
just have more extreme genetic traits both for success um and for struggling right that's why
00:13:06.820
we tend to see men overrepresented on both sides of most things so that's why men often will trickle
00:13:11.700
to the top of most workspaces for example and you think that's because of extremes of iq uh well not
00:13:19.700
just iq that would be extremes of multiple things and also i think i said a q a minute ago yeah iq would
00:13:24.580
be one thing i just don't think iq is the only thing that would predict so what are the things that
00:13:29.300
led men to be in those positions other than iq um uh probably just the ability to work like they
00:13:38.100
don't take time away from work for children their wife typically does could there be anything
00:13:42.260
biological why would that be biological iq would be something biological it's partly biological but
00:13:47.220
i'm saying like in terms of what a man is biologically is there anything is that anything to
00:13:51.860
do with what might be roles in society hierarchy uh i don't think there's super good evidence that
00:13:58.020
that like testosterone predicts like anything other than like aggression towards those like
00:14:03.700
equal or lower and like muscle distribution um i think it's a lot more going to be muscle
00:14:09.300
distribution is part of biology right sure i just don't think like muscles get you to the top of a
00:14:14.260
fortune 500 what about like being a soldier does that help yeah okay that's why men are significantly
00:14:19.140
better soldiers than women but what about that high iq that group of high iq does that help get them
00:14:25.700
to the top of the ceo ladder that would definitely help i think it's like a 45 percent to 60 and you
00:14:31.220
admit that that's partly genetic yeah of course okay so it seems like naturally speaking when i
00:14:38.340
peeled in my opening statement to what's natural and biological men are just sort of fitted to those
00:14:44.100
things they're very constitution yeah it is for those things yeah it's just with um in 2025 with
00:14:50.340
women having birth control and tampons um there's less obstacles to that so they might trickle to the
00:14:54.580
top too and i just want a society that would allow them to do so but why that's what i'm what i'm
00:14:59.060
getting at is if this is biological and thus quote natural to a degree according to what you're arguing
00:15:05.140
what's the need for women to do what is then perhaps not natural for them to do in society
00:15:11.700
because there are lots of women that are still uh in the high iq realm that are very capable
00:15:17.540
that make excellent bosses so exceptions make the rule no more like freedom of our opportunity
00:15:22.740
right that's my premise is i want okay it's like it's like the innovator scale right i don't want
00:15:26.980
to arbitrarily just say 50 of our society cannot be at the top of society because i want to make sure
00:15:34.420
that if they're achieving the top of society it's because of skill and um merit and etc etc that's what
00:15:41.140
i believe in and so i wouldn't want to arbitrarily ban women from those positions right but it's not
00:15:46.500
i didn't even talk about banning so that was something that you interjected what i said i'm
00:15:49.700
not saying you did right because you were asking like what i'm interested in i'm saying a freedom
00:15:53.460
of opportunity so you just trickle up so there's a there's a standard which you would say that's a
00:15:57.860
better that's a net good for society if women are able then to interject themselves into that male
00:16:04.820
space to be allowed to good why is that a good uh like i said innovator scale what innovator scale
00:16:11.220
more people means more innovators you just get the best of the crop more people so we should have
00:16:17.380
more people in society uh sure i don't know if this is connected to birth well yeah because the
00:16:25.140
more people in society would then back up what you're arguing right don't we don't we need more
00:16:30.020
husbands and wives to have more people yeah i just don't think these things are mutually exclusive
00:16:33.620
how can a wife be a ceo and also raise the kids uh tampons birth control um like tampons and birth
00:16:42.260
control raise the kids what do you mean uh lots of lots of women find a way to both raise children
00:16:47.540
and work well shared parenting like the husband takes roles sometimes they get babysitters sometimes
00:16:53.140
there's intergenerational families there's multiple ways that women uh share the load of parenting
00:16:58.020
so that's a net good uh it can be yeah okay what is the standard for good here uh do you mean like
00:17:06.180
like at an epistemic level at any level uh good as in your world view what determines the good so in
00:17:13.140
the in the case of what we're talking about i talked about the innovator scale so the reason i like women
00:17:17.940
being able to have access to opportunity is because it improves gdp okay so the net good for society is
00:17:24.180
just what more fiat money like what what determines that gdp is a good thing do you disagree yeah i do
00:17:32.260
first of all like what if the money is a scam that doesn't have anything to do with gdp why would not
00:17:37.300
having more gdp for a country not be good the the nature of the money itself if the money system is a
00:17:44.580
debt-based scam doesn't have anything to do with gdp not really because gdp is about like the income of
00:17:51.620
a country right so like debt is debt is part of how you navigate income of a country right but our
00:17:57.620
country's income is presently based on pure debt right is that a bad thing our gdp is not based on
00:18:04.660
debt no it is well the whole the whole system is based on debt gross domestic product is not itself
00:18:09.780
debt i'm saying the economic system itself is based on debt yeah like because it's a debt-based system
00:18:15.220
yeah like modern theory of like money is very debt organized it's just like debt is not this like
00:18:20.340
boogaloo scary thing in and of itself i'm talking about our system is fiat it's not attached to
00:18:26.020
anything hard there's no there's no hard currency that our money is attached to since the shock
00:18:30.180
doctrine of nixon right so nixon goes up the gold standard so we're now a debt-based system so i'm
00:18:34.820
just saying your highest quality was the best gdp in society so your organizing principle is a
00:18:41.300
neoliberal economic theory so what i want to know is even if that's itself based on debt then what's the
00:18:46.980
source of the good here the so in this case what is good for society is having a competitive gdp so
00:18:53.140
that your enemies can't stop that's the highest good that's not the highest good that's the good
00:18:57.140
of what i'm talking about in the case of women entering in what is the highest good that determines
00:19:01.540
that that's good are you talking about morality just at all in your system you tell me what your
00:19:05.460
system's standard of good is so it um i'm not really sure why we're having the epistemic
00:19:11.620
conversation why not because we're it feels like we're losing the plot of the conversation no i want
00:19:16.900
to know what your standard of the good is again what do you mean by good you said that the gdp is
00:19:24.980
necessarily attached to the highest good i didn't say highest good i said it's a good thing okay then
00:19:29.540
i'm asking you what the highest good is that determines that the gdp is better than not caring
00:19:33.780
about gdp i have so you're asking for my moral foundation theory sure i'm a divine command
00:19:40.260
theorist from what divine command uh the christian god and he says gdp is good no the moses come down
00:19:48.100
and i don't think gdp is moral you just said it was the highest good i didn't say it was the highest
00:19:53.380
good this debate no i said it's good for society then it's moral if it's good i don't think it's moral
00:20:00.740
in this case if it's good it's moral well you can have good as a good as a moral claim well of course
00:20:05.780
you can have functional claims right so if it's only functional or if it's only pragmatic then
00:20:11.060
it's not ultimately a good it's just subjective so at a functional level it is i guess do you disagree
00:20:16.820
with this idea that it's good for a state to have competitive high gdp it could be but i don't think
00:20:23.220
it's the highest good and i have a standard of good so i'm trying to figure out what yours is
00:20:26.340
well what's more important for a nation state than gdp uh the health of the society sure but if the
00:20:32.660
health of society is really high i mean could you have let me let me give an example could you have
00:20:36.340
a society that's a mass addicted to drugs but has a good number a nice income probably not no you can
00:20:43.300
have societies that are full of detriment like full of ghettos and they're ruled over by uh organized
00:20:50.580
crime that make a lot of money typically those countries like if you're thinking about like the
00:20:54.660
congo or like areas that have like high levels of corruption their gdp is horrible because
00:20:58.340
typically crime is not good but i'm saying you could conceivably have that it doesn't matter whether
00:21:02.660
there's some exception to that rule so it's not exception i would say the rule is in general when
00:21:06.980
you have lots of corruption and drug addiction it's not good for gdp but i'm saying conceivably you could
00:21:12.580
have a ruling elite that makes a lot of money from drugs and the society itself is living in shantytown
00:21:18.900
right i don't think that that nation state would have high gdp i don't think there's any evidence
00:21:22.500
it doesn't matter if you think that because it's conceivable that you could have that right you
00:21:26.660
could have a successful oligarchy that that makes a lot of money and the people themselves don't do
00:21:32.260
very well are you talking about like saudi arabia yeah sure sure but saudi arabia again is not nearly
00:21:37.780
as competitive as somewhere like america or any well again how do we know that competitiveness
00:21:42.260
for women is a good you've just said that that's the case because it increases gdp so i'll just
00:21:47.700
break it down circle out of it's okay if we're gonna do try like what we can do a grip as trilemma
00:21:53.940
it's just useless i can use it at you too right well but if i'm arguing for a moral ought on the
00:21:59.460
basis of this is not a moral ought it is you said it's not a good if you said something i said it's
00:22:04.180
functional yeah okay we're doing chatter so what do you want me to use when i say functional no no in
00:22:10.020
a debate if you're arguing for your position then you're necessarily arguing that we ought to follow
00:22:14.260
your position uh yeah i i think i said it's a necessity and an unavoidable that doesn't it is
00:22:19.940
not it doesn't mean it's a moral claim it would be like real politic well then it's an ought because
00:22:24.580
do you think we should we ought to follow your not all odds are moral ought we follow your arguments
00:22:29.700
uh as in like should you do what i prescribe for society ought we follow the true arguments versus
00:22:34.660
the false arguments sure okay then you're using an ought right now to argue for your position
00:22:42.900
sure but this isn't a moral claim you just argue that we ought to follow your position that's still
00:22:47.380
not a moral it is it's not all how oughts are morals if you're extending them to everybody
00:22:53.140
in the theoretical realm of listening to the debate do you think that it's so we are not moral to to
00:22:58.420
have gdp do you think gdp is moral in your i'm pointing out that your question i have a different
00:23:04.980
system than you do you think apply to my system do you think that gdp is moral everything in life is
00:23:10.660
conceivably or potentially moral how is gdp moral because you extended it to in this argument the
00:23:16.660
highest good i did not you did i walked it back after ash for the highest good no yes you did i
00:23:21.380
did not i said for a nation state i guess it's like one of the higher goods yes it's not the highest
00:23:26.660
good and i have said so and what is the good jay i don't know how to explain to you over and over that
00:23:31.060
this is not a moral claim it's you're saying that pragmatism you're saying that but ought we follow
00:23:35.780
your argument and pragmatism here uh if you want a flourishing society by and so we ought logically
00:23:42.180
sure but it ought we logically it's sure it's again it's not a moral claim it's not is gdp a moral
00:23:48.100
claim it can be depending upon the system how is gdp a moral claim in your system how you're arguing
00:23:54.260
that what you just said we ought to follow your argument i don't know how many times to tell you
00:23:58.020
this i'm not making a moral claim you are and you're saying you're not you're just keep telling me
00:24:02.820
time you say that there's an ought that's not true that is true no it is no even if you redefine
00:24:08.180
it as okay how about this you don't have to have a liberal society that has a high gdp you're just
00:24:12.580
going to get stomped and you'll be a failed nation state it's it's neutral morally yeah but you're
00:24:17.380
missing the point about highest goods for society you're arguing that engaging in that yet well i'm
00:24:23.620
not that's but that's good oh no just uh if you guys can try if you guys can just try to uh let each
00:24:30.020
other finish your thoughts but go ahead so this debate necessarily comes down to metaphysical
00:24:36.900
claims and epistemical claims and ethical claims no yes it does uh because so feminism is about
00:24:43.940
morals ethics biology society social relations you can't divorce ethics from that now if you think you
00:24:49.860
can i'm happy to address that but that's just going to get you in an even deeper bind i'm not saying
00:24:54.660
that you can't that you can divorce these things of course you just argued a minute ago that it's not
00:24:59.380
gdp is not moral then you can't divorce these things so you just contradicted yourself so there
00:25:04.740
are lots of elements okay there are lots of elements within feminism that do make moral claims
00:25:08.980
right lots of them when i'm talking about something like an innovator scale it's not a moral claim it's
00:25:13.380
real politics i understand you think that but i'm pointing out that it is still moral that's the
00:25:17.780
argument i'm making okay do you want to engage with the actual conversation now you saying that doesn't
00:25:24.900
avoid the argument okay i know that's what you're trying to do why is gdp not good for society or is
00:25:29.220
it i'm saying it depends on your standard of good and that's what i'm asking you what's your standard
00:25:33.140
of good i think gdp can be great for a society but it's not the highest good of society such as the
00:25:38.340
social cohesion of society that's more important than who's making fiat money okay what do you think
00:25:43.780
is the role of the nation state the nation state has the job and the duty to defend its people and
00:25:52.660
to uh maintain a healthy society to punish the wicked and to uh reward virtue sure yeah i would
00:25:59.780
broadly agree it's to keep its citizens safe right um okay how does it do that but i said reward virtue
00:26:05.460
and punish vice so there's also necessarily an ethical component there sure that that's your your
00:26:11.700
claim that's my world view yeah i'm just engaging with it right okay so then how does your nation
00:26:16.260
state and your world view uh protect itself from enemies it has a standing army okay and how does it
00:26:22.980
fund that standing army well nations have gone into debt or they have been prosperous and used their own
00:26:29.700
treasuries or they have raised money to go to war so there's a lot of different ways that could happen
00:26:34.180
okay and so what do you think is the right way to do that
00:26:36.420
um it's an oversimplification question because not everything in regard to warfare or history of
00:26:46.100
civilizations is necessarily right or wrong it's a question of what might be the best or the worst
00:26:50.660
so there can be scales it's not there are some things that aren't moral necessarily some of them
00:26:55.300
are just pragmatic and then there's some things that are moral everything could potentially be moral but
00:27:03.060
some things are pragmatic sure okay that's basically what i've been saying yeah but you
00:27:07.620
were appealing to the good of a nation state you were again because you were using the word good
00:27:13.300
in a way that i wasn't meaning it and even though i clarified multiple times that i meant functional
00:27:17.620
and i even said what word would you like me to use to describe this i understand that you're you
00:27:22.100
think that saying that because it's functional it removes the ethical domain but it doesn't is the
00:27:27.540
point i'm trying to make because the question that we're debating is whether feminism is good for
00:27:32.180
society or not that's an ethical moral okay so going back to the chatter thing how we have to agree
00:27:37.380
about words okay you're now essentially assigning to me what good means and it's it's obvious that i'm
00:27:43.060
not no i'm doing an eternal critique is what i'm doing you know what that is assigning to me do you
00:27:47.140
know what an internal critique is uh tell me so i'm criticizing your position on its own grounds
00:27:52.580
that's an internal critique that's what happens in debates okay what word would you like me to use when
00:27:56.820
i am describing this non-moral functional element that is the one that makes a non-moral position
00:28:03.060
makes sense of why feminism is a good for society we can get there but again we have to you're not
00:28:09.380
going to get there well we can but you're not even you're not even like we're doing chatter we're
00:28:13.460
literally no we're doing we're at the point where you don't understand the issue that's that's not true
00:28:18.740
all you've done at this point is just like you've basically you've you're in you're just weaponizing
00:28:24.020
try no you admitted that the debate is about whether feminism is good for society that's a
00:28:29.700
moral ethical domain right there sure there are some moral elements so when you make arguments about
00:28:34.660
gdp if it's not moral then it's not relevant to the debate it's absolutely moral what language would
00:28:40.100
you like to use i said it's not there is moral elements and there are some non-moral elements
00:28:45.540
gdp is the debate today about something moral uh i don't know if i agreed to saying we're
00:28:53.860
only going to talk about epistemics and morality good is again this word that we're basically doing
00:28:59.940
chatter around where you're assigning a label to it and i haven't agreed to i'm trying to figure out
00:29:05.060
your position on the good my position on the good is it's holistic there are things that are good
00:29:09.700
because it's functional and there are things that it's good because it's moral right is the debate
00:29:14.260
today feminism about the good of the moral for society it's about i guess i would like to make the
00:29:19.780
case for both answer okay so functional and that means that everything you've been saying for the
00:29:24.260
last hour is wrong no because i'm making a case for the functional element too but the fact that
00:29:29.060
you're making the case for the functional element too doesn't matter if you're also talking about the
00:29:33.620
moral you can make both arguments and i would like to engage in the first one right because the other
00:29:39.060
one is the one i'm looking at and that's the problem for you it's not the problem for me that my no
00:29:44.020
right no the problem with this conversation is that essentially what you've done is you've assigned
00:29:49.780
me a bunch of positions that i don't have no you've done a bunch of circle talk about words you've done
00:29:53.940
a couple of rhetorical flashbangs and now we're stuck in the situation where we can't actually talk
00:29:58.500
about the ideas which is unfortunate because i was really looking forward to a start you're chasing you're
00:30:03.380
like one foot is nailed and then the other one is going in a circle like a cartoon you're like
00:30:08.500
like a cartoon character running in a circle if you want to like throw a grip as trilemma at me
00:30:13.860
you can but i can throw it at you too and if we do that then there's no point we're at an impasse
00:30:19.700
what do you think is good the good ultimately relates to god the highest good okay the highest
00:30:24.500
good so is gdp in direction of that or not all things that exist are good in some way and in some
00:30:31.060
way relate to morals but i do not believe that the gdp is the highest good for society okay what is
00:30:37.460
the highest good for society the health and flourishing of the society which has to exist
00:30:42.340
within some kind of patriarchal norm that's the only way that it can function gotcha and the ones
00:30:47.700
that don't they dysfunction okay and so in your mind does gdp contribute to any of that it's just
00:30:55.300
one component of life just like i don't know the size of the the nation's landmass is one component
00:31:02.020
sure i would agree with that but it's not the highest good okay so what's the argument that
00:31:09.300
feminism is good for society feminism is good for society at a functional level because it increases
00:31:14.900
innovator scale i also think it's the right thing to do that's moral odds yep i'm giving you a moral
00:31:22.100
claim now okay thank you and why is it right for society um i it is right for society because i think
00:31:28.660
in general we should try to treat others well and i think limiting people's opportunity by force
00:31:34.340
is bad for them i don't think god wants that okay what god the christian one okay where does he talk
00:31:42.980
about this uh forcing people to do things no this idea of what the good is for society because we have a
00:31:50.740
lot of historical christian societies sure were any of them feminist uh no but i don't think in general
00:31:57.220
that god advocates really strongly for a political system really no what about when israel was
00:32:04.100
organized was that a political system uh what did they like in 1948 no in the old testament in the
00:32:10.740
old testament uh was it yeah it was a political society how was it organized i'm not a jew what does
00:32:17.540
that have to do with whether it was organized in a certain way or not it has nothing to do with my
00:32:20.740
claim what does the old testament say about how god organized that society uh he gave them prescriptions
00:32:25.860
about how to run their life from moses how was that society organized uh it was uh organized i
00:32:31.540
believe in a patriarchal society with matrilineal heritage and it was a monarchy uh yes a male monarchy
00:32:38.980
yep okay so in that regard god was not feminist right i've never said that god was feminist well i'm
00:32:47.700
asking if there's a history example of where god organized a feminist society uh i mean it's interesting
00:32:54.900
because when you look at like ancient judeo history if you're not being presentist it was like
00:33:00.180
insanely uh progressive compared to like the pagans around them like the assyrians and babylonians
00:33:06.580
that's not what i'm asking well it is what you're asking you're calling it progressive and i would
00:33:11.460
just say it's healthy so the fact that they had the ten commandments god seemed to advocate to some
00:33:16.100
degree for a better treatment of women than any other society i agree but that's not feminism
00:33:20.740
uh to some degree you could argue that it is if you agree with my definition which is like the
00:33:25.460
but your definition is so elastic and broad that it could be anything except for what my position is
00:33:30.420
no i don't because i'm not agreeing that old testament patriarchal society is feminist you just admitted
00:33:34.580
it's not if you're not agreeing why did we even define the words at the beginning can you name a
00:33:39.060
feminist society i'm not god advocated i'm not interested to you appealed to god yeah i think it's it's a
00:33:45.300
good thing to treat women well did god ever that's not feminism now you're equivocating i'm not
00:33:50.420
equivocating yes you are how am i equivocating you're changing the moving the goalposts as to what
00:33:54.340
feminism is that's a completely different so if god has equivocating or am i moving the goalposts now
00:34:00.900
it's both it's you're equivocating on the word and moving the goalposts to make your position work
00:34:05.780
so if there's no feminist if there's no feminist equivocating on the word that's not what equivocating i know
00:34:12.100
what equivocation means yes it does it means that what two different understandings of a word you're
00:34:16.580
equivocating on the word okay feminism and you're defining to say that if god in the old testament
00:34:22.100
gives women rights that's feminism that's not what feminism is feminism is a modern movement
00:34:27.860
post-revolutionary philosophy my definition of feminism because it's so broad that that's fine if
00:34:33.220
you want to defend that against patriarchy but i'm arguing patriarchy against feminism and what you
00:34:38.420
appeal to is moving the goalposts by the originally agreeing to a definition of feminism and now you're
00:34:43.460
saying that can't work anymore because it's defeating my argument the old testament god and the new
00:34:49.060
testament god are the same god and they never institute a feminist society and women's rights
00:34:54.980
are being made in the image of god that women are protected now in that status what do you mean
00:35:00.100
it's not feminism what do you mean by a feminist society a matriarchal society or a non-patriarchal
00:35:05.940
society i've never advocated for either of these things okay but feminism has never been a societal
00:35:12.660
goal in the old testament or the new testament or the history of any christian society again so you
00:35:18.020
have no examples of this i haven't advocated for any of these things i don't you appealed to god
00:35:22.980
as your standard of the ought and the right the moral right yeah it's a moral thing to correct
00:35:27.940
and then i said give me the examples of where that god ever instituted anything like what you're
00:35:31.700
talking about in terms of feminism and there's not there's not there is according to the definition
00:35:36.180
you agreed to no there's not yeah the empowerment and promotion of femininity judaism that is not
00:35:41.060
what is happening in the old testament judaism is the most progressive approach to femininity of
00:35:46.100
all of the modern rabbinic judaism is not the same thing as what's in the mosaic law you asked for
00:35:50.980
old testament examples which i just gave you one that's not rabbinic judaism you admitted that the
00:35:55.140
it's a mate that's a patriarchal society that's what do you mean it's not rabbit you don't think
00:35:58.900
old testament judeo is like no it's not it's not what are you talking about it's not the same thing
00:36:05.540
as you don't think that the 1200 bc society that was erected by king david wasn't wasn't a rabbinic
00:36:11.860
society rabbinic judaism comes out of the fourth and fifth century when the the babylonian talmud
00:36:16.980
is collected and collated so you don't think that the old testament is not rabbinic no okay
00:36:23.460
and it's patriarchal so even if it was rabbinic it wouldn't repeat then there's no examples of
00:36:31.780
what you're talking about well the issue for me is that what you're what you're doing is you're
00:36:34.900
creating a false dichotomy you're pretending like patriarchy and feminism can't coexist
00:36:38.820
correct they cannot of course they can we live in one
00:36:41.300
being feminine is not the same thing as the movement of feminism i didn't say that it is i said
00:36:48.900
that you did you said that femininity is promoted in the old testament and you use that as a way to
00:36:53.060
prove your position i said it empowered women and it promoted femininity it empowered women by
00:36:57.300
creating matrilineal lines of inheritance and it uh promoted femininity by making a whole bunch of
00:37:02.420
female figures be viewed as these like incredible characters to like look up to like ruth and deborah
00:37:07.220
and stuff like that okay well there's a plenty according to the definition you agreed to on feminism
00:37:11.140
would be feminism then it wasn't quote progressive according to your view because other societies
00:37:15.140
worship the goddess and that would be more progressive than what you said if you
00:37:18.660
want we can go back an hour and we can redo chatter and you can make a new definition for
00:37:22.900
feminism that you like more so that you can apply it more narrowly if you'd like you have moved the
00:37:27.860
goalpost i have not from what feminism is i wrote it down and you agreed to anything that so is the
00:37:34.340
goddess feminism uh i don't know what is goddess worship in the ancient pagan world is that feminism
00:37:42.260
it might be okay i'm not sure i don't know anything so your view so your position is so elastic
00:37:47.060
that it could encompass any possible why did you agree to it it's on fault because the way you've
00:37:52.020
you've framed it was anti-patriarchy and i'm fine with that i didn't frame it that yes you did i did
00:37:56.340
not frame it that the terms of this debate you want to go back is feminism good or is patriarchy
00:38:00.340
i wrote it down do you want to go back the fact that you wrote it down just means that you wrote you
00:38:03.700
misunderstand what you wrote down no that's even dumber the issue the issue rather than you just being
00:38:09.780
bad faith for no reason no this is you don't know what you didn't even know what an internal critique
00:38:14.180
is so i'm not being bad faith i've been debating for 25 years it's completely it's completely fine to
00:38:18.580
not know what terms are right sure but in terms of debate that's like 101 knowing what an internal
00:38:25.380
critique is i understand what like consistency checks are i just didn't use the language internal
00:38:30.180
critique right so if we want to go back an hour you agree to this idea of chatter right how we want to
00:38:36.420
define concepts agree to them so that we can talk about or chatter
00:38:42.340
i'm just kidding go ahead so if you agree to that and then you agree to the terms you can change them
00:38:50.740
later i'm just going to be good faith you can change them later if you want to let's just go back to the
00:38:55.860
terms again and narrow it down to what we can agree to of what feminism and patriarchy means because
00:39:01.940
now all you're doing i gave a very precise definition for patriarchy right sure i did and
00:39:06.980
you gave a very loose definition as to what you think feminism is which could encompass conceivably
00:39:13.300
anything that helps women and that's an ambiguity fallacy then provide a different definition don't
00:39:19.700
agree to it in my opening statement i said that i believe feminism is a revolutionary philosophy that
00:39:25.460
destroys society it was brought about to change society in total and ultimately to serve into
00:39:32.900
oligarchical designs and people who and i gave sources you can read the rockefeller's authorized
00:39:37.300
biography they have a whole discussion of abby rockefeller funding third wave feminism and so
00:39:42.420
sorry how is this not just as ambiguous as the one it's just a revolution just as ambiguous i'm
00:39:47.060
literally giving you the people who funded it and the actual names of the people like
00:39:50.900
cell 16 i don't know why you're appealing to i don't know why you're appealing to authority right
00:39:54.180
now none of this matters no that's not an authority that's the people involved it's not an authority
00:39:58.820
appeal yeah if the people who you think funded them is an authority for the i gave the people
00:40:04.740
involved like abby rockefeller that was herself no it's not when why are you citing them it's a person
00:40:10.580
who's in the movement it's not just the funder yeah you're appealing to authority you don't know what
00:40:14.820
an appeal that's a fact it's not an appeal to authority you don't know what you are citing them
00:40:18.980
this is for a definition of feminism yeah that's not an appeal to authority yes it is no it's not
00:40:24.100
yes you don't know what an appeal to if i said my position is true because i cite the rockefellers
00:40:30.260
that would be an appeal to authority and that's a fallacy this definition is true because of the
00:40:35.140
rockefellers if you want no i'm not i'm telling you the history of the movement which you don't even
00:40:41.220
know again i've asked you to define feminism and now i'm giving you the history of that movement
00:40:46.900
which is three waves what are there three waves why can't you give me a difference are there three
00:40:51.540
waves of feminism there's four okay so there's three oh you didn't know that that's crazy so
00:40:57.300
there are three correct there's four right but that would mean there's also three even though
00:41:01.540
there's a fourth right that's true three is less than four i know that but the fact that there's four
00:41:06.740
there's still three that have happened right irrelevant to anything modern wait a minute is that
00:41:12.580
an appeal to authority what authority am i citing right now i know you're citing facts that you
00:41:18.100
think are appealed which authority have i cited name one name one authority i've cited jay you
00:41:23.140
think go name one authority you don't understand name one authority i've cited i'm making a joke
00:41:28.340
because you think appealing to a fact is appeal to authority those are two different things not true
00:41:32.900
yes it is when you were citing rockefeller when you're citing rockefeller as the definition for
00:41:37.940
feminism no the funder is not the definition you idiot then why are you appealing to them in any
00:41:43.380
way to prove the history of the movement and what it teaches yes you know what i just gave you the
00:41:48.980
example okay i gave i've been debating for 25 years i know what the appeal to authority is that's
00:41:52.900
one right there okay so see that's the appeal to authority when you appeal to irrelevant people
00:41:56.900
that sound it's not irrelevant relevant the history of feminism isn't relevant to you giving me a
00:42:02.900
definition of feminism it is that i can operate is it a historical movement you give me is it a
00:42:07.300
historical movement yeah of course then the history is relevant to the definition you idiot
00:42:11.700
then give me the definition you can do it nice if we can't you could do it jay i believe in you
00:42:15.940
like talking to a five-year-old yeah well you're a big boy so this should be really easy for you to
00:42:20.580
find feminism go ahead feminism is a historical movement that's concerned with the rights of women
00:42:27.780
including egalitarianism the idea that women and men are equal if we go back to wallstonecraft
00:42:33.540
if we go back to the suffrage movement if we go back to the notion of women not being married
00:42:38.020
at certain ages as children so the first wave wanted not just suffragism but they also wanted
00:42:45.060
to not have child brides and that kind of stuff i'm really proud of you you got they also listen
00:42:49.220
i'm not shut up we're super shut up and let me finish i'm not done oh i'm not done they also
00:42:55.140
wanted uh better work hours they wanted women to have inheritance rights they wanted women to be
00:43:01.620
able to okay get jobs and and they went to women in the workforce and to be in positions that they
00:43:08.580
didn't have so they wanted certain social rights that women like voting right suffered right those are
00:43:14.820
all first wave yeah okay this is your definition of feminism okay i'm writing it down are you serious
00:43:21.300
i look i i'm so dumb you asked for the history of it i didn't ask you for the history i asked you
00:43:26.900
for you said that it's historical okay and i'm giving you the movements i'm not asking for the
00:43:31.460
history i'm asking you said it is historical so i have to go back to the people no you're so dumb
00:43:36.580
that you can't conceive of a position apart from the people who came up with the position i'll do
00:43:42.260
so israel i can define israel without going through the entire history of israel feminism while it
00:43:48.580
no you can't yes of course you can no this is so silly because you admitted it's a historical
00:43:54.260
movement therefore it can't be divorced from the people in history i'm not asking you think it came
00:43:59.220
out of the sky did it come into people's minds out of the sky or from the people you're doing a
00:44:04.260
false dichotomy again what are you dude you don't even you're acting you're acting like you're acting
00:44:08.420
like you can't define it without the history i'm telling correct it's a historical movement by your own
00:44:12.260
definition that doesn't mean that you can't make a definition for the words so we have to go to the
00:44:16.180
people that where do you think words come from from people they don't drop out of the sky they
00:44:21.380
come from people i know you can do this you can define a word without giving me a five-minute
00:44:26.180
monologue on the history no you can't so there's no way for you to define feminism would you go to
00:44:30.900
a dictionary that's an appeal to authority it's not an yes it is okay there are appeal to authorities
00:44:37.140
that are fallacious and their appeal to authorities are not oh like when i give the examples of the
00:44:41.300
rockefeller as a funder of it is not an appeal it's not just a funder abby was involved in cell 16
00:44:47.140
she's not just a funder that doesn't matter it does because it came from them that doesn't mean
00:44:51.780
that she's a relevant uh authority to cite the one who funded it and got it going at chicago
00:44:57.780
university is not relevant portions of the third wave yes that doesn't mean that it comes out of her
00:45:02.580
money no that doesn't millions of dollars at chicago university that doesn't mean that she's the
00:45:06.580
definer of feminism i didn't say she was i said she's cited her as a definer of feminism she's
00:45:11.060
involved in the third wave movement what's the definition of feminism jay you can do it you're so
00:45:14.980
stupid i've got three things from you so far even do a feminism equals rights of women men and women
00:45:22.020
are you admitted labor rights i mentioned three things what else is feminism inheritance in terms
00:45:27.620
of first wave feminism i mentioned child age of marriage as another element of it okay so in terms
00:45:33.860
of the first wave let's civil rights let's just call those civil rights that's not civil rights
00:45:37.460
it's yeah oh my gosh it's prior to the civil rights movement you idiot that doesn't mean that it's
00:45:41.620
not civil rights jay i'm just trying to create a way to make this succinct so we can get a
00:45:45.860
definition because you don't like mine which is fine i said you're that's why i'm just yours is too broad
00:45:52.420
that's fine make your own i'm giving the history i don't i don't need my own definition it's your
00:45:58.980
position you goofus no you you debate positions like when you debated jim bob and you tell people
00:46:04.580
to define your position this is how silly you are no jay i gave a broad definition i gave you a
00:46:09.620
definition and which is too broad that's fine make your own definition and then we can i don't need to
00:46:15.140
make a definition yes you do if you if you have rejected my definition you now have to supply one
00:46:20.820
yes i'm going to the people who came up with it correct rockefeller didn't come up with it i said
00:46:25.860
mary wallstonecraft in my opening statement is one of the first feminists in modern society
00:46:32.180
do you want to supply definition this doesn't matter jay just make a definition so the people
00:46:37.220
who came up with it don't matter they matter if you can get to getting a definition out of your
00:46:41.220
fucking mouth we've got i've been giving you we've got four elements of feminism now okay so we've
00:46:46.420
got rights of women again like men and women are equal egalitarianism labor rights and civil rights
00:46:53.540
is there anything else you would like to add to that definition as we move into modernity
00:46:57.620
we get more radical versions of this particularly with cell 16 which becomes almost a revolutionary
00:47:04.900
terrorist movement which wants to engage in radical action and skittles rights shall we say so they move
00:47:12.020
into it being skittles as well okay so i don't care if you reject trans rights i don't care if you
00:47:17.220
reject that or accept that i because i'm looking at this as a historical movement because guess what
00:47:23.060
feminism is a historical movement that's what we're debating you might not believe me jay it's
00:47:27.540
so i'm so i'm so disappointed about this conversation i talked about chatter because i was interested in
00:47:33.300
a good you keep saying chatter doesn't have anything to do with the fact that i did an internal critique
00:47:37.540
and you didn't know what that was and then i start going to the history of feminism and then you're
00:47:41.300
floundering now you're just saying i'm just saying stuff yeah there we go so going to chatter the
00:47:45.940
reason i asked you about it is so that we could have a decently good conversation so that we weren't
00:47:49.940
quibbling over the definition of words and we could actually engage in conversation if if the
00:47:55.300
only way that you can debate for the last 25 years is to just quibble about semantics of words i'm
00:48:01.540
sorry you're not a king debater you're just bad faith you asked me for the last 30 minutes to
00:48:06.660
define a word so you're the one that's quibbling about semantics i'm not quibbling i'm literally not
00:48:11.460
quibbling i am writing down your word oh so if you're writing it down i'm granting it's not semantics
00:48:16.980
because i'm just granting your definition semantics no it's not it's not semantic debating because i'm
00:48:22.260
not disagreeing with you on your definition i'm literally begging you to just give me one
00:48:27.140
i'm begging you at this point because you don't like mine so let's give yours i don't care what
00:48:33.300
your definition is because all i have to do is critique your position internally and and points
00:48:38.900
out that you do have to care about my definition if you're going to do an internal critique that's the
00:48:43.220
fundamental of a fucking internal critique is that oh now you do know about so you just learned
00:48:47.540
about an internal critique about 10 minutes ago and now you're going to lecture me on it you're
00:48:51.220
a really good teacher jay what can i say so the debate's over you do care about she admitted she's
00:48:56.020
learning you do care about feminism and my definition of it because you need it for the
00:48:59.620
internal critique which you've already i don't care about it because now you've rejected my definition
00:49:03.940
of feminism so again i know being mean to women is your fallback oh no i'll say we go ad hominem
00:49:10.180
now so there we go it's not an ad hominem i didn't say you're mean to you no i didn't say you're wrong
00:49:15.380
because you're being an asshole i just said you're an asshole now you're getting your feelings that's
00:49:18.740
not an ad hominem my feelings are fine no insulting people and being mean is an ad hom you should know
00:49:24.980
this you can google it google it at home an ad hom is when you use the insult of a person to discredit
00:49:29.860
them so if i said jay you're wrong because you're mean now i'm mad homing you as a debate bro of 25
00:49:35.700
years you should know your fallacies better you've already been wrong about multiple fallacies really
00:49:42.020
and you can't yes and you can't define feminism do you want to get there i've already you've
00:49:46.100
already admitted that i gave you four elements it seems like you have more so five actually i think
00:49:50.820
that you actually think that you want to actually think like or maybe a 100 iq person that the way
00:49:57.380
that you define something is you literally just look at a definition in a dictionary and then
00:50:01.620
you just list it out and that's the definition of the word that's false really yeah i've never said
00:50:07.300
because i'm giving you the entire context of the history of feminism and you're saying i need a
00:50:12.740
fucking definition yeah as we're working through the actual history of it and the definition of what
00:50:17.620
it is to give me you admitted that it's a historical movement that has nothing to do with you you
00:50:22.660
giving me a definition you admitted that it's a historical of course jay so the history has to
00:50:28.820
do with it you idiot i don't need the history for you to give me a definition you have to go to the
00:50:33.860
people who are the philosophers of it you can just like mary wallstonecraft and her position you can
00:50:40.020
just like egalitarianism you can just define it i'm defining it for you i've been defining it and
00:50:45.780
you just keep yapping and melting down over your notes the issue is that it has taken me pushing
00:50:50.100
you to be specific over and over for 45 minutes we have five points now because you don't have
00:50:55.060
anything other than this that's false how does any of this definition prove your position that feminism
00:51:00.420
is good for society as a feminist can we you're showing us that you're not good for society so
00:51:05.460
you're actually proving my point as you yap and argue you're proving my example of an ad hominem
00:51:10.260
that is that is an ad hominem but it's but it's an illustrative ad hominem yes that's true it was
00:51:15.620
a very creative ad hominem okay so we have five points that you would like to define feminism is there
00:51:19.860
any other points that you want to define feminism yes the people who funded that also said that they
00:51:26.340
like the movement because it destroys the nuclear family gets women in the workforce taxes the other
00:51:32.660
half of the population and reduces the population because there's less families uh how do you want
00:51:38.260
to summarize that uh destruction of you can't remember what i just said you can't remember four
00:51:44.500
sentences i just said no i can remember i just want to like you're such a you're just very yappy
00:51:49.460
and so i'd like to make it succinct yes you to give me a definition you've had to give me an entire
00:51:54.580
century's worth of history even though like when you admitted that it's a historical movement so it
00:51:58.500
can't be here's the thing you can't be divorced from the historical people you could have done you
00:52:01.220
could have just said to me so that we can move forward with this conversation feminism is
00:52:04.980
yeah but i'm not going to grant you women it's a debate so i'm not going to grant you simple
00:52:10.100
answers in a debate why wouldn't you just define a word i don't owe you a definition maybe we could
00:52:15.780
avoid some of the insults and if we can also allow people to to finish their thought let's try to uh
00:52:24.100
okay are you not do interruptions but go ahead yeah i want to know how this any of this helps your case
00:52:30.020
to prove feminism is good for society well we can get there now that we've defined feminism so
00:52:34.660
destruction of nuclear family is another one that you would like to add to the definition of feminism
00:52:39.700
that's why the people who fund it matter is because they say that okay i would argue that
00:52:43.780
the destruction of nuclear families is not inherent to most feminist movements and is bad so i reject
00:52:49.860
that part of your definition so the people who want that in society and say that it does that don't
00:52:54.340
matter because you have they're not the feminism that i'm fighting because you have a definition
00:52:59.060
that is so elastic to make it anything that you think helps women and that's why i've said you've
00:53:04.180
already lost the debate because you're elastic uh the it's not specific well you define that's why
00:53:09.140
i actually thought women promotion of femininity so empowerment means that is removing obstacles
00:53:13.540
and promotion of femininity would be like making feminine traits viewed as respect worthy like submitting
00:53:18.740
to authority in men is that a feminine trait uh no i would oh so so it's not clear it's ambiguous
00:53:24.820
i would say submission is you have to define it i would say submission is feminine but i don't i
00:53:29.300
don't think it's to men specifically oh okay it would be like to any authority right to any authority
00:53:34.420
yeah are most authority men a lot of them are but some so it would be to men nope it would be to
00:53:38.900
authority but men aren't to class men aren't to class but most authorities are men and they are
00:53:45.380
submitting to that right so so it would be yeah but the idea okay you love semantic fights no it's
00:53:53.860
called a debate i can do that too if you want me to just like mock you every time you stutter
00:53:56.900
we can have a super fun it's just how debates work i'm sorry
00:53:59.620
rhetoric is part of debate yes this is not rhetoric this is just you being if you're watching oxford
00:54:05.540
union debate they make fun of each other i'm fine with you making fun of each other
00:54:10.340
that's what i've been doing okay would you like to have a productive conversation too or do you
00:54:14.020
want to just do you want we can circle the drain i'm having a great time that's fine we can just
00:54:18.020
continue to circle and how does uh this prove feminism is good for society okay so i already
00:54:22.980
said i would reject the destruction of nuclear family i don't think it's central to most feminism
00:54:27.220
i think most uh was essential to see cell 16 uh it sounds like it was but i would say most
00:54:32.660
fourth wave feminists for example are not very pro destruction of nuclear family in fact there's
00:54:36.180
like an entire like barefoot pregnant movement within the fourth wave that is very much about
00:54:39.860
embracing uh being pregnant being motherhood and like promoting that as a good thing
00:54:44.020
is that the attitude that most feminists in society have i would say a lot of young feminists
00:54:48.900
are directly the most uh i wouldn't no they're not most also don't want to destroy the nuclear
00:54:55.380
family well in academia and most feminists want to get married and have kids does this world view
00:55:01.140
promote in general in society in academia and in the corporate world the destruction of the family or
00:55:07.940
does it know that uh it it tends to promote it yeah they want women to be mothers really feminism
00:55:14.340
promotes women in society in general i would say fourth wave feminism is very pro-mother yeah i asked
00:55:20.820
you about the majority of feminism most most feminists are fourth way that's institutionalized
00:55:25.620
yeah most institutional academics are fourth way and they want people to have kids yes they're not
00:55:30.420
anti-natalist uh some of them are but most of them institutions yes no that's crazy i don't know
00:55:35.940
what to tell you i've been reading lots of i've been in academia i've been in institutions i've never
00:55:39.940
met a feminist in academia or in institutions who thinks that there should be more people and more
00:55:44.020
kids they all believe in depopulation the ones that i've met that's crazy i've just met lots of
00:55:48.820
feminists that don't believe that and regardless those feminists who at who are like basically death
00:55:52.900
cult feminists i'm not interested in advocating for the world view that's fine i don't have to own
00:55:56.580
them but the history of feminism just like you don't have to own like protestant most feminism
00:56:00.500
right so you've got a nuanced feminism i guess is your take right uh i just have like a pretty
00:56:05.300
traditional like fourth wave feminism okay so but it's not historic feminism right or is it first wave
00:56:11.380
it's fourth wave so it's tied to history of course because there's ways it is tied to history yeah but
00:56:16.420
the waves the essentials of the waves is that there's i've never ever said that feminism isn't tied to
00:56:21.700
history you've just made that up uh i think we could go back about 20 minutes so you can do what
00:56:26.740
i do you know we go back 20 minutes when you said that the history doesn't matter i said for your
00:56:30.740
definition it doesn't matter you can hold you just literally you have double think going on have you
00:56:36.580
read 1984 you can hold your right you know what double think is yes it's the ability to contradict
00:56:41.780
within a couple minutes i didn't contradict if you remember we can roll back the tape we were
00:56:46.580
talking about defining definitions are relative my thought or are you just going to interrupt me because i'm
00:56:51.300
trying to can i finish my thought i'm trying to hone in on what this weird mistake is because it's
00:56:56.100
weird guys if we can at least we'll let the insults go okay if you guys want to insult each other we'll
00:57:01.300
allow that but at least let each other finish okay their thoughts go ahead okay the reason that we went
00:57:06.980
into the history and why i said i don't care about the history is i was asking for a functional definition
00:57:11.700
so we could move past that part of the conversation i always acknowledge that history was part of the
00:57:16.820
feminist movement and it's tied to it i reject that there is a definition divorce from history
00:57:21.540
i've never said that there's a definition divorce from history i said i don't need you did because
00:57:25.380
i said i don't need the history lesson i don't need the history lesson you asked me for that you
00:57:31.220
gotta let me finish you asked me because you're lying you asked me for that divorce you said divorce
00:57:35.940
from history what is your definition that's what you said yeah i didn't want the history thank you so
00:57:40.100
you just contradicted yourself no i didn't contradict myself you're a machine of you're desperate you're
00:57:47.720
I asked for you to stop giving me all of the history and just give me a definition so we can move the fuck on.
00:57:53.960
I don't accept that there is a definition, divorce from history, and you just admitted that you goofed us.
00:57:57.160
You don't have the brain capacity to define something without a five-minute monologue about the history?
00:58:02.200
You just admitted you can't do that, you idiot.
00:58:05.080
Are you going to go back 3,000 years to define it?
00:58:06.820
I will, correct, yes, because it's an ancient historical nation.
00:58:09.580
So you can't define Israel without giving me a 10-minute monologue?
00:58:13.220
It's a false analogy because feminism is a modernist movement.
00:58:20.540
No, the extent of the historical time is not at all a false analogy.
00:58:25.980
You are melting down right now because you contradicted yourself within two minutes.
00:58:30.600
I'm melting down because you said that you had 25 years of debate history and you can't get a single fallacy, correct?
00:58:42.640
What does that have to do with anything when it comes to comparing history for a definition?
00:58:47.040
Because you contradicted yourself and in debates, contradictions are what make you lose.
00:58:49.340
Contradicting myself has nothing to do with the false analogy.
00:58:55.140
So you can define Israel without giving me the centuries of history.
00:59:03.860
You said that you're yapping because you got caught.
00:59:09.780
You said that history, you said history doesn't matter.
00:59:23.100
Jay, part of debating, part of debating is holding frame, right?
00:59:28.260
Like, when you did that, is that holding frame or what is that?
00:59:52.500
Is any of this going to prove that feminism is good for society?
00:59:54.780
We literally can't get there because you are still quibbling.
01:00:05.160
My favorite thing about you is that you cite fallacies constantly.
01:00:08.340
You don't know what they mean, and you can't define them properly.
01:00:10.800
Like how history is not part of feminism, but it is.
01:00:12.900
How is it a false analogy to compare Israel, defining Israel?
01:00:18.840
Because it's an ancient nation state, and feminism is a modern political social revolutionary
01:00:26.000
So why does the extent of the length of history make them disanalious?
01:00:29.920
You've already lost the debate because you admitted that the definition can't be divorced
01:00:34.500
from the history, and then you said the opposite.
01:00:37.600
That means you've massively contradicted yourself within the last five minutes.
01:00:43.000
I'm glad that the made-up narrative of the story-
01:00:46.820
Jay just lost the debate because he's strawmanning me and putting words in my mouth that didn't
01:00:54.200
Do you want to go back to the actual conversation?
01:00:57.320
So, why is it falsely analogous when you're saying that to define words, you must include
01:01:04.720
Why is it disanalogous to compare feminism to Israel?
01:01:08.080
I asked you to define feminism, and I asked you to define Israel, and I asked you if you
01:01:12.800
could define Israel without the three centuries of history, and you said, well, it's different.
01:01:20.560
Because they're two totally different things, and you already admitted that feminism is a
01:01:26.840
historical movement and that it can and can't be divorced from the history.
01:01:35.920
I'm saying you can obviously define Israel without going through three centuries, which
01:01:43.540
You won't define Israel with the three centuries because it's just long.
01:01:49.560
Whereas modern feminism only has 100 years, so I can give the history of that, but I can't
01:01:53.400
give the history of Israel to define it because it's too long, essentially.
01:02:01.120
And also, comparing two different things is the point of fucking analogies.
01:02:04.360
The more that you talk, it makes my whole case here that feminism is a net negative
01:02:09.500
Thank you for representing feminism, by the way.
01:02:11.000
Honestly, all you're doing is making me be like, maybe the rad friends are right and
01:02:13.800
men got to be out of power because they cannot keep up.
01:02:15.980
If this is what, like, two masters and a philosophy degree do, honestly, I think the conservatives
01:02:25.680
I don't recommend people go to college, by the way, because you are the people that
01:02:30.020
So you're actually, you're like the college professors I debated, the women I debated,
01:02:35.140
So they should go to college if you want them to be in your position, right?
01:02:39.520
If they end up anything like you, they should definitely not go to college.
01:02:43.780
You're like, I had a philosophy degree and I don't know what fallacies are.
01:02:55.240
This would be a perfect moment to read a couple of chats here.
01:03:03.500
Thank you for the gifted 50 whatever memberships.
01:03:05.580
Robert Tanner, thank you for the gifted 50 whatever memberships.
01:03:14.460
And then we have a couple of chats coming in here through the Streamlabs.
01:03:20.060
If you guys want to get a message in, it's $99 and up.
01:03:31.100
Do you like BDSM because you were getting spanked by Jay?
01:03:37.060
When you can't defeat a woman, you just have to sexually degrade her and make a joke out of it.
01:03:39.280
Like when you do the dongs in your mouth like that?
01:03:41.360
Is that a good example of what you're talking about?
01:03:43.380
I can't defeat a woman, so you put dongs in your mouth because it's funny?
01:03:46.400
No, I said you can't defeat a woman without sexually degrading her and then making a joke out of it.
01:03:55.480
Usually you can make jokes about yourself that other people shouldn't.
01:04:10.120
Yes, but that doesn't mean it's like subjective.
01:04:15.680
Something being totally relative means that it is subjective.
01:04:23.860
Philosophy 101, you would learn that if something is completely relative, then it's purely subjective.
01:04:30.840
You're conflating subjectivism to cultural relativism at best.
01:04:37.580
What do you think the opposite of relativism is?
01:04:39.340
Now that you've admitted that everything is relative to you-
01:04:49.560
Everything is relative to your vantage point, your perspective.
01:04:58.280
No, the opposite of relativism is moral absolutism.
01:05:08.640
I've debated all the top atheists and philosophers, and you don't know.
01:05:22.160
You have a problem with words that you think that two different words can't mean the same thing.
01:05:28.320
Moral absolutism is when you can apply things universally.
01:05:31.220
Objectivism is that something can be like capital T true.
01:05:41.900
Moral objectivism is believing that there's like a capital T true.
01:05:50.700
Moral objectivism is that there are moral absolutes.
01:06:08.200
Because you have a basically, you have an elementary school level education and you're actually
01:06:14.620
debating people who actually know what philosophy is.
01:06:16.520
Which is crazy because despite my little education, you still don't know what relativism is versus
01:06:25.120
I've debated the dude from the objectivist foundation, the Ayn Rand foundation.
01:06:33.580
Do you understand that a word can mean different things in different contexts?
01:06:37.460
So if I say that something is morally objective or that it's morally absolute or that it's
01:06:42.620
not relative or subjective, it all means the same thing, even though it's different words.
01:06:55.100
That you don't have any concept of the philosophical compass is crazy to me.
01:07:06.720
It's meme level philosophy because you thought that words didn't mean the same thing.
01:07:26.620
Bloomberg just reported two days ago that for the first time ever, white men are slightly
01:07:31.640
now less than half of board members at S&P 500 companies.
01:07:52.280
I think like white men in general are being like pretty shittily treated by society right
01:07:56.560
I think there's like a fair bit of like persecution.
01:07:58.560
So I suspect that the reasons behind that is bad, but maybe it's neutral, but probably
01:08:04.760
We have three other chats unless Jay, you wanted to weigh in on that.
01:08:13.800
I'm enjoying Jay Barbecue cooking her puppy cheeks better than Gordon Ramsay like a donkey.
01:08:29.900
There was a nice one that came through about you.
01:08:34.560
We have grandma sweaters coming in here in just a moment.
01:08:47.940
Feminism is a populist movement where each rep in history interprets the definition.
01:08:53.280
Feminism hold ancient beliefs and utilize history as foundation for their beliefs.
01:09:00.440
It's just that it's not a refutation of anything that I've said.
01:09:04.940
I know I said that you can't understand objective argumentation.
01:09:09.300
But if you want to keep fighting like some ghost in the room.
01:09:10.620
But you're arguing in yourself, in your head, it's like a hamster wheel running, and
01:09:18.140
I did a lot of labor to get you to define feminism.
01:09:21.000
I bet you couldn't restate my internal critique, could you?
01:09:25.480
It was something about how you think that I'm like self-defeating because you think that my definitions
01:09:29.400
necessarily like contradict each other, which they don't.
01:09:34.700
Now that wasn't the internal critique, but good try.
01:09:45.580
The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is
01:09:49.820
Kill It Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, first wave feminist.
01:10:02.760
It's almost like there's lots of camps to a large movement.
01:10:09.620
We would agree that there's heterogeneity within any movement.
01:10:12.680
So it can be defined the way you need it at whatever point in the debate, right?
01:10:18.480
Very broadly so that you could move it later and it didn't work.
01:10:28.120
And then it took you 45 minutes to define it later.
01:10:30.520
No, I just let you sink your own, dig your own hole after 45 minutes.
01:10:35.540
I bet you 95% of the chat's going to agree with me.
01:10:46.340
But you think that my arguments are dumb, so they're dumb.
01:10:48.660
I'm not super interested in what chatters have to say.
01:10:52.800
But optics and who won the debate is judged by the audience.
01:10:56.940
Yeah, but the audience isn't just chatters, right?
01:11:04.100
I'm sure the comments on a very right-leaning, decently Eastern Orthodox that has already
01:11:08.720
accepted most of your presuppositions as a show are going to agree with you.
01:11:17.620
Just like if I put this on my channel and then all of my left-leaning audiences said I
01:11:22.180
won, that's not evidence that I won, obviously.
01:11:34.580
Well, it's when you choose the evidence based on what you want.
01:11:39.280
Well, you're talking about audiences and like my audience would like my stuff.
01:11:42.980
So if they like me, then I think I won because my audience liked me.
01:11:46.000
So I selectively chose the audience is what you're saying.
01:11:58.260
Like how the word objective just means absolute in the same sense?
01:12:01.260
Which means that like a naturally arising population that you were testing might end
01:12:05.180
up having some emergent trait that you think is a construct true of that group when actually
01:12:10.540
you've already set up the prerequisite methodology to find that trait within it.
01:12:13.920
So my audience is going to like my shit more and your audience will like your shit more.
01:12:27.580
Like I literally just defined the same thing that you said.
01:12:29.900
Do you think that when you call me stupid, you win?
01:12:32.740
No, it's factually demonstrating what is the case.
01:12:35.460
Again, do you think that you're winning by calling me stupid?
01:12:36.760
Because you literally give the same definition I did.
01:12:47.600
Because you didn't know what an internal critique was either.
01:12:49.440
Do you remember what the word is for when you selectively pick your-
01:12:57.300
There's the sharpshooter fallacy and the gambler's fallacy.
01:13:09.240
What's the gambler's fallacy, if you know the fallacy?
01:13:41.860
They are intrinsically intertwined, not so bright.
01:13:45.880
A hundred dollar donor said it, so it must be true.
01:13:55.600
So that one later you get mad at me for using the word for two different things.
01:14:06.080
By the way, guys, we did set a super chat goal.
01:14:21.900
If I'm the reward for it, I'm getting some of that money.
01:14:34.460
We should give $100 to whichever chatter can figure out why Jay doesn't understand what
01:14:39.120
a false analogy is and was incorrect in the use of it.
01:14:47.200
Comparing the nation state of Israel to the history of feminism is a false analogy.
01:14:56.640
You asked for a definition that was not connected to history.
01:14:59.600
And then, by the way, you said that history is bound up with a definition.
01:15:02.260
So I asked you if you could define Israel, if you could define Israel without going through
01:15:09.680
You said that you could define Israel without going through the history.
01:15:13.040
And then the reason why you said that it's just analogous is you said Israel has too long
01:15:20.280
I said you can't define Israel without going into the ancient history.
01:15:22.860
You said that I don't want to and that it's disanalogous because Israel has long history
01:15:31.480
That would contradict what you just said, like two minutes ago.
01:15:50.060
I said that when you were trying, when I asked you to define Israel, I asked if you could
01:15:53.740
define Israel without going through these centuries of history.
01:16:01.420
The reason why it was a false analogy is because you said that the extent was different.
01:16:08.260
I said you can't because in the same case as feminism, you can't.
01:16:12.960
If you want to retroactively change your claim and correct it, fair enough.
01:16:19.960
Because it wouldn't work for my argument if I said the opposite.
01:16:26.240
I said that neither feminism nor Israel could be defined apart from their history.
01:16:36.580
The whole audience, by the way, this shit is flat out lying.
01:16:38.680
The reason why these are disanalogues is you couldn't go through the centuries of history
01:16:43.600
And this is why I laughed at you when I said they're disanalogues because one has long history
01:16:57.160
It's disanalogues because the two things are different.
01:17:00.500
Separate from that, I said that I can't define Israel apart from history.
01:17:10.080
The things that I'm comparing is defining things without their history.
01:17:12.100
And you said that I could define Israel without going through this entry.
01:17:27.720
Aaron Knight, please remove Andrew Tate from your Twitter banner.
01:17:31.260
Your not worthy occult feminism will help with the afterco.
01:17:35.440
My favorite thing is dumbasses who think that I have up there because I like Andrew Tate.
01:17:41.560
Earlier on in the discussion, you said that feminism is unavoidable.
01:17:55.700
I think because as nations grow, essentially, eventually you will want women to join the workforce to be able to compete at like a global scale.
01:18:04.940
And therefore, it becomes inevitable because you need women to join the workforce.
01:18:08.300
And as soon as women join the workforce, they now have way more leveraging power by having money and certain rights.
01:18:13.580
And once they have those rights and those leverage powers, they're necessarily going to leverage that power to give themselves more freedoms that they obviously wanted.
01:18:23.480
If it didn't exist for thousands of years in history, then it wasn't necessary.
01:18:28.660
I'm pretty sure you literally said that multiple countries fell because of like liberalization.
01:18:34.320
Liberalization and giving women more rights over time exists in history.
01:18:36.900
Did it exist for thousands of years until modernity?
01:18:40.560
Okay, so then it's not necessary and it's not inevitable.
01:18:42.460
It's absolutely necessary at this point because in 2025.
01:18:44.680
If it didn't for thousands of years, then it's not necessary and inevitable, you idiot.
01:18:49.600
Over time, technologies develop, which means that the way that the Romans.
01:18:52.780
You're just yapping and talking and asserting things.
01:18:56.220
The way that the Romans worked their world is not the way that we can work our world, obviously, because things like guns exist.
01:19:00.700
Then it's not inevitable and it's not necessary.
01:19:07.800
For example, if you don't update to technology, your society tends to fall behind.
01:19:15.320
So technologies that make feminism necessary and unavoidable would be things like tampons and things like birth control.
01:19:25.040
We're never putting the Colgate back in the fucking tube.
01:19:29.980
So Poland is a great example of a country that didn't update its technology.
01:19:33.720
And as a result, it got stomped when the beginning of, I believe, World War I or World War II, they invested in Calvary because the Polish Calvary was like the greatest thing.
01:19:44.800
And they got absolutely, utterly dumpstered and destroyed, which is why for societies to compete at a global geopolitical level, you have to keep up with technology.
01:19:52.720
The reality is that China wants to win over America, which means they're going to allow women into the workforce.
01:20:00.040
None of that proves that it's necessary and inevitable.
01:20:01.780
It proves that it's unnecessary and inevitable because the technology changes at a global level.
01:20:06.060
And for you to compete at a global level, you have to allow women into the workforce.
01:20:11.440
If it didn't happen in Rome, then it wasn't necessary and inevitable.
01:20:31.040
Can you follow an argument that isn't just yapping and asserting your position?
01:20:36.840
It was not necessary in Rome because they didn't have to be a problem.
01:21:02.240
Well, if we're doing this type of debate, I guess that's true and the sky's purple and I'm a 12-foot
01:21:29.260
He says, dear God, is this the exemplar of today's U.S. education system?
01:21:33.120
This woman is an amalgam of feckless, vapid, ineptitude, combined with unearned high self-esteem.
01:21:47.160
Actually, Canada is like one of the most competitive education systems.
01:21:49.440
No, it's worse because it produces examples like this.
01:21:59.420
You look like you have gained some weight lately.
01:22:06.920
So, I'm about 15 pounds heavier than I am, and I'm about 120% more muscle than I want.
01:22:21.880
I just said I gained 120% of the muscle that I'd ideally like to maintain after my cut.
01:22:26.260
Okay, that's why I said is that part of your feminism regimen?
01:22:29.580
It's just part of putting on muscle, which you would not know about, I guess.
01:22:37.560
It's not too much to demand definition for the entire topic of the debate.
01:22:42.220
A good faith debate is contingent on being charitable to the other's intention.
01:23:08.740
Well, if any of you want to get a chat in, it's $100 for a TTS.
01:23:13.220
And remember, if you put in enough money, I'll wear a MAGA hat.
01:23:28.020
You got to do 10 and over soup chats over there on YouTube.
01:23:30.920
Or if somebody does a champagne pop, we'll just do it right away.
01:23:39.200
They have to, you know, they do it through Streamlabs.
01:23:41.420
Or if we have Crystal here, they have to do one Ethereum.
01:23:58.800
I've got some Crystal here if you guys want to get liquored up.
01:24:02.640
I would like to continue on a little bit with the debate here.
01:24:05.460
Do you guys want to shift the prompt to, we could talk about patriarchy specifically.
01:24:11.180
Just pick a word and we'll fight about the definition for another 45 minutes.
01:24:13.840
Do you guys want to talk about immigration or something?
01:24:19.340
I didn't prep for immigration, so I wouldn't want to talk about immigration.
01:24:22.740
I'm just, at least with a feminism related topic, trying to think here.
01:24:31.340
I mean, we could talk about whether or not you think it's biological or not that men have
01:24:41.700
Because when you debated Jim Bob, you seem to think that soldiers,
01:24:51.180
You said that a soldier is anyone that wears the costume of a soldier.
01:24:57.600
I'm pretty sure I was making fun of Jim Bob when I said that.
01:25:01.840
No, you were arguing that there's no difference between a soldier who's a man and a soldier
01:25:05.700
who's a woman because anybody who puts on the uniform becomes that.
01:25:10.780
I think Ken was somewhat equalizing the genders.
01:25:14.940
No, no, you were arguing about whether or not men should be the frontline soldiers.
01:25:20.420
You and Jim Bob particularly were going back and forth.
01:25:26.180
Rather than putting words in my mouth, just ask me what you want to ask me.
01:25:29.420
I said, do you think that there's a gender or natural component that men have that makes
01:25:45.960
And then I think that gets reinforced culturally as well.
01:25:52.560
No, what do you mean when it's reinforced culturally?
01:26:12.360
So, when I say multifactorial in a cultural way, I mean things like epigenetics, right?
01:26:17.260
So, I think when we have a culture that reinforces certain things and makes people more successful
01:26:21.800
as a result of those expressions, we'll also reinforce it through epigenetics.
01:26:26.880
But also then it builds a cultural social identity of like what it means to be man.
01:26:31.700
And that's both testosterone and neurochemical, but it's also slightly epigenetic, right?
01:26:37.100
But it's also on top of that, it's things like culture and society and what we do.
01:26:41.620
So, there is a component that's biological, that's genetic, but there's also a component
01:26:47.500
So, if it's natural and biological, why ought we put into place a position or a system
01:26:53.800
that is counter to that, that would make that position or system unnatural?
01:26:58.940
That's what I argued at the beginning, trying to make that point again.
01:27:04.420
But the fact that it's not just doesn't address the question that's being asked.
01:27:12.560
Because by limiting people arbitrarily, I think you decrease your...
01:27:18.160
You just admitted that there's a difference, so it wouldn't be arbitrary.
01:27:26.160
So, if we have like a bell curve, right, of men and women, and men tend to be a little
01:27:29.880
bit more extreme, and say we're selecting for a job that's purely about...
01:27:32.840
So, you're repeating the first 20 minutes of this discussion and ignoring what I just asked you.
01:27:38.720
If you want to just like bloviate, sigh, and be angry, we can do that.
01:28:05.120
I don't want a system that would limit any single individual from achieving higher levels
01:28:18.980
What justifies the position that you're arguing for that patriarchy should not be the norm,
01:28:28.620
I've literally never said patriarchy should be the norm.
01:28:38.180
That doesn't mean that they're not mutually exclusive.
01:28:43.880
The fact that it is so, then it must be good or it must be right.
01:28:49.900
The fact that they exist doesn't mean that the positions are coherent.
01:28:53.840
They can be ideological or epistemically incoherent, even if they exist at the same time.
01:29:10.820
Do you think patriarchy just means that it wants to oppress and crush women?
01:29:13.980
You admitted that feminism is a historical movement.
01:29:17.320
All of its proponents are revolutionaries who wanted an egalitarian society and did not
01:29:25.480
So you've redefined the position to be your own feminism that's not relevant to what we're
01:29:33.620
But your position is stupid, then, because it's an ambiguous position that's just anything
01:29:43.380
I don't think that feminism is doing a good job by just dismantling patriarchy unless
01:29:49.840
We haven't heard why feminism's good other than GDP.
01:29:56.080
No, it's because you keep quibbling over words.
01:29:59.340
And then you got like super immediately morally epistemic about GDP.
01:30:01.660
I called you out on aughts, which you can't do.
01:30:05.040
I will use literally any fucking word, because I know you really love words, to try to...
01:30:14.960
She can't tell us why we ought to have feminism.
01:30:27.760
What is the argument that feminism is right for society?
01:30:31.720
It is beneficial to society because it improves innovator scale.
01:30:38.520
Yeah, and why are we supposed to think that's the good?
01:30:40.240
Because I think it is morally good to allow maximal levels of freedom.
01:30:47.740
Oh, so it's you subjectively saying because it's the good.
01:30:54.080
But when we went to God, God didn't ever give us a feminist society.
01:31:01.040
By my definition of feminism, we both agreed that ancient Judeo-Christianity was feminist.
01:31:13.000
It's not moving the goalpost in any way, shape, or form.
01:31:15.660
I have had the exact same definition of the fucking word the whole time, you just don't like it.
01:31:21.800
No, you have an elastic, broad definition that you allowed to fit.
01:31:27.120
It's a monarchy and a patriarchal society in ancient Israel.
01:31:40.140
Feminism is a modern revolutionary movement, you idiot.
01:31:46.540
It's not civil rights because the Civil Rights Act didn't exist yet.
01:31:48.960
You're debating feminism, which you said is a historical movement.
01:31:55.580
I agreed, but that I, yes, it's a historical movement.
01:31:57.600
So it's not an ancient civilizational movement.
01:32:04.740
That doesn't mean that we can't find elements of feminism in the past.
01:32:07.360
She just lost the debate again for the fourth time.
01:32:11.060
This guy just lost the debate four times in a row because he didn't even know that there are four waves of feminism.
01:32:16.480
And he just kept on going, but there's three, but there's three.
01:32:29.460
I think in the chat, he didn't know that there was four waves.
01:32:33.920
The history matters, but it doesn't matter that there's four waves.
01:32:35.840
But the history matters, but it doesn't matter that there's four waves.
01:32:38.620
There was three, so it doesn't matter that there was four.
01:32:46.300
Like, you're literally just like, you're just literally didn't know that you said that
01:32:52.700
You just said that it's your definition and you're the source of your argumentation.
01:33:00.700
That means you lost the debate because you can't appeal to anything outside of yourself.
01:33:04.920
Again, if you want to do Agrippa's dilemma, you can, you're just falling into dogmatism.
01:33:19.780
How do you solve, how do you solve Agrippa's dilemma?
01:33:39.340
Why are you yapping if you don't want to know the answer?
01:33:52.300
I don't have as good of hair to perform as Jay.
01:33:58.200
So, there's a difference between something being circular at a normative level versus paradigm
01:34:13.060
Didn't you just agree to that, like, two minutes ago?
01:34:34.020
What this chatter says, parentheses, yours truly, is indeed true.
01:34:41.220
I would describe you as a, quote, unquote, mediocrity, but in all candor, even that would
01:34:53.000
Lucas, does your girlfriend know that you masturbate to bullying women online?
01:35:05.100
We have two chats coming in here through Streamlabs.
01:35:09.380
We have the great, one sec, guys, it is loading.
01:35:21.600
Not so erudite what is the ontology of logic from your worldview.
01:35:31.340
I believe that God is fundamentally relative in how he approaches things, and I do my best
01:35:34.420
to use exegesis, eisegesis, and divine revelation to understand what God's will is
01:35:38.880
and to enact that in my life and understand it.
01:35:41.920
So there's no such thing as divine command theory that is relative.
01:35:47.420
Can I just scoot your microphone to the edge of the table there?
01:35:54.240
Probably shouldn't read it if you're cringing that hard already.
01:36:10.760
Is that relative or is that part of objective morals?
01:36:14.820
Is it circular when you ask that question or is it part of like your absolute dispositions?
01:36:22.200
What is your opinion on destiny allegedly recording your good friend having sex without her consent?
01:36:28.780
I mean, it's off topic, Intel, but if you want to.
01:36:37.840
Guys, $100 TTS if you want to get a message in here.
01:36:41.280
If you're enjoying the stream, you can also support VFMO Cash App.
01:36:44.080
They don't take any cut like how YouTube and Streamlabs and apparently also, you guys, do you stream on YouTube at all?
01:37:01.060
If they're using an iPhone or another Apple device and they use the YouTube app to send it in, Apple takes 30% first.
01:37:10.040
So if somebody donates, for example, they send in a $200 Super Chat, you're going to be left with $98 of the $200 Super Chat.
01:37:20.760
Just for those of you who support Kyler or you support Jay here, just consider sending it through either Streamlabs or some other method.
01:37:30.060
And then if you're enjoying the stream, guys, like the video.
01:37:31.780
Also, if you guys are watching on Twitch, drop us a follow on the Prime Sub if you have one.
01:37:41.800
Jay can just pick a word to define and then prattle about it.
01:37:45.620
Actually, could you give me the history of a word?
01:37:49.660
So I don't know what you're talking about, me prattling over the words when you asked for the definition.
01:37:53.020
I asked for definitions and you prattled for 30 minutes.
01:37:55.460
No, I gave you definitions connected to the historical people.
01:38:00.440
No, you didn't do anything but talk yourself into oblivion.
01:38:13.080
Can you restate what your argument is as to why it's good other than GDP?
01:38:17.480
I also believe that it is good because I think it is a liberal value to give people freedom of opportunity.
01:38:24.000
I think it leads to the highest level of flourishing within a society.
01:38:48.100
This is like being like, how do you know that P is the probability factor?
01:39:08.160
So your argument for how you know that is that it's a circle.
01:39:11.640
I'm saying, no, what I'm saying, when you refute,
01:39:14.000
when you refute my claim by going, it's circular.
01:39:24.800
You don't even know what presuppositional, what presuppositions are.
01:39:27.480
Because if you can do that in a debate, that means I can do that in the debate.
01:39:33.840
I can just say all of my beliefs and my positions are foundational and axiomatic.
01:39:37.560
It's almost like I said, I could grip a trilemma, you too, and then it would be stupid.
01:39:45.540
Typically, when we engage in debates, we grab some level of normativity of each other's
01:39:49.400
world so that we can actually talk about ideas.
01:39:59.260
You said you were going to instruct me in philosophy.
01:40:05.900
I'm pretty sure I never said that I knew philosophy.
01:40:10.840
I laughed and said it's insane to me that you have a philosophy degree because I'm assuming
01:40:14.860
you know philosophy, but you don't know multiple fallacies.
01:40:17.320
And you unironically are trying to say that the opposite of relativism is objectivism.
01:40:21.180
I'm sorry that you're having a hard time, but this is how we do debates.
01:40:28.900
What's the argument for feminism other than GDP?
01:40:34.300
So do you understand that I can then come to the debate and say that it's good because
01:40:39.300
And then I would say, why do you not value liberalism?
01:40:45.500
I think liberalism leads to higher level flourishing based on every single statistical
01:40:54.280
People are happier, healthier, cooler, better mentally, well, all of that is good.
01:40:57.640
The fact that you value that doesn't make it an argument.
01:41:01.640
I believe that God wants us to be happy, healthy, and whole.
01:41:03.600
Just appealing to that doesn't do anything for your case.
01:41:06.460
There, there is, I'm telling you, Jay, there's nothing I can say that you're not going to
01:41:10.260
No, you're, because you're not making arguments.
01:41:13.380
You're just unwilling to grant any level of normativity.
01:41:18.080
In a debate, I'm not going to grant you normativity correct.
01:41:27.840
I said flourishing is good because it improves.
01:41:31.060
I believe that it is good because I think overall-
01:41:32.860
The fact that you believe that doesn't make it good.
01:41:34.200
Because I think that God wants us to be happy, healthy, whole, and good people.
01:41:38.340
But you haven't demonstrated that those things are-
01:41:40.060
I think that liberal societies produce all of those outcomes to the highest level.
01:41:43.720
That doesn't mean that I think that God is a liberal by any means.
01:41:50.580
Well, if he promotes that, then he would be a liberal.
01:41:52.960
God is so much bigger than any label or construct that any human can apply to him.
01:42:00.940
It would be a dumb argument for me to apply any political fucking label.
01:42:08.020
That's what you appeal to in terms of divine command theory.
01:42:16.160
I'm sure you can conceive of a world where God is more than any political system.
01:42:21.020
My best possible interpretation of how to engage in the world in a good way-
01:42:34.360
You literally can't think through your own arguments.
01:42:37.460
You actually can't understand me or your bad face.
01:42:39.040
You said that liberal society is what God wants, but God's not a liberal.
01:42:43.660
I said that what God wants is for people to be happy, healthy, whole.
01:42:47.560
I think a liberal society leads us towards that, the best that we have created so far.
01:42:51.820
Then God wants a liberal society and God's a liberal.
01:42:53.560
No, I'm sure that God wants something more for us than that.
01:42:58.320
The fact that he wants it more doesn't mean that he doesn't want the liberalism.
01:43:10.860
The fact that he's more doesn't mean that he's not promoting the liberalism that you
01:43:16.200
Okay, Jay, can you summarize my argument in any way?
01:43:21.440
It's like a three-year-old yapping out of a crib.
01:43:23.980
Then it should be really easy for you to summarize my argument.
01:43:28.000
Happy, healthy, whole, flourishing society is liberal, and that's what God wants.
01:43:43.580
I said it's the closest approximation to what I think God wants for us.
01:43:47.760
No, he probably wants something more for us than that.
01:43:51.000
No, it's possible that it's fucking some new system that will make 200 years from now.
01:43:56.120
The whole debate, you've misunderstood what part-hole fallacies are.
01:43:59.000
When you go home, I want you to get on your computer, and I want you to watch a few talks
01:44:02.780
on what a part-hole fallacy is because you've made that multiple times.
01:44:06.060
You should go home, and I want you to look up what an ad-hom is, what a two-quote pro is,
01:44:10.840
I know you don't understand right now because you're in your emotions, because you're losing
01:44:17.160
You're losing it because you don't know what you're saying.
01:44:20.500
Like, if you don't want to engage in anything that I'm-
01:44:21.580
So you would be a better debater if you knew what a part-hole fallacy was.
01:44:25.360
You would be a better debater if you could even slightly engage in my normativity so that
01:44:33.840
I'm not going to grant you normativity for you.
01:44:35.540
Who don't understand anything about what we're talking about.
01:44:37.180
She wants me to grant her her position in the debate.
01:45:08.000
All of history has been patriarchal societies in terms of Christian and Old Testament Hebrew
01:45:15.380
By your own argument, you argue that it's divine command theory in the Old Testament.
01:45:19.640
And it's, you already admit it, it's patriarchal.
01:45:21.080
What value, what God value is coming out of that?
01:45:32.900
I don't have a problem with circular arguments.
01:45:35.260
Okay, so God wants a patriarchy because he's a patriarch.
01:45:37.760
Therefore, God is good, and patriarchy is good because God is a patriarch.
01:45:41.140
You're just yapping and turning on a bunch of things.
01:45:44.060
See how we can just end up in Agrippa's Trilemma together, and it's stupid?
01:45:47.480
So instead, what I do is I will just grant you elements of your worldview so that we can engage together.
01:45:58.460
This is probably why you're a really annoying person to debate.
01:46:02.140
And that you've been debating for 15 years, but you think that you're not winning.
01:46:05.340
You're not winning by just engaging in Agrippa's Trilemma.
01:46:11.820
You don't understand what a paradigm-level critique is.
01:46:14.820
You don't understand what a paradigm-level critique is.
01:46:17.060
Before I keep going, can you define Agrippa's Trilemma for me?
01:46:18.480
You don't understand what a paradigm-level critique is.
01:46:21.860
I'm not going to answer your questions because you don't know what a paradigm-level critique is.
01:46:26.480
Why would that have anything to do with you answering me?
01:47:14.000
Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean I haven't made it.
01:47:34.440
God's a liberal because he wants a liberal society.
01:47:37.080
I said, of course God is so much more than anything we could ever apply a construct to because I'm not a fucking heretic.
01:47:45.760
You don't see the divorce between those two positions.
01:47:50.060
I would never apply a label to God ever about anything.
01:47:53.020
So he wants a liberal society, but he's not a liberal.
01:47:55.820
So he wants a liberal society, but he's not a liberal.
01:48:04.200
When you abuse them incorrectly, yeah, they don't really matter.
01:48:26.840
Has Christianity had anything but monarchies for the last 2,000 years?
01:48:30.240
So you're comfortable capturing the entire visage of God in a single political system?
01:48:37.860
Did I say his visage is incaptioned in a political system?
01:48:40.380
You said that God wants a monarchy, so God's a monarchist?
01:48:56.520
First of all, the thing that you made up and put in your bio.
01:49:00.220
It's a branch of theology that is postmodern, and it more or less tries to engage with the
01:49:11.300
It's engaging with the Bible in the way that it was written by the original writers.
01:49:13.100
Can you name any Christians in history that were postmodernists?
01:49:20.720
So a 20th century philosophy that developed out of France.
01:49:33.660
Did you think that because you knew destiny and just yapping really fast that you would
01:49:50.580
Doesn't mean that you can't apply them to history.
01:49:53.420
Thank you for admitting my argument two hours ago.
01:50:37.920
You said 30 minutes ago he wants a liberal society.
01:50:46.380
The fact that he wants more doesn't mean he doesn't want that if he's pushing that.
01:50:50.020
You just argued from divine command theory that's what he wants.
01:50:56.620
The fact that he wants more than that doesn't mean that he doesn't want that.
01:51:15.540
I'm not answering any of your objections or questions until you give an argument for feminism.
01:51:22.080
What is the argument for feminism other than GDP and God liberal?
01:51:25.300
Agrippa's trilemma is really important to understand.
01:51:27.480
Anytime a person tries to hit you with this circular, normative,
01:51:34.160
What you have to hit them back with is essentially Agrippa's trilemma,
01:51:36.560
which is that all things can fundamentally be truly...
01:51:39.620
She's just repeating some bullshit from destiny.
01:51:41.340
I don't think I've ever heard him ever talk about Agrippa's trilemma.
01:51:42.820
What's the argument for feminism other than GDP and God liberal?
01:51:45.160
And so when you're dealing with people who just constantly fall back on circular reasoning
01:51:49.020
and like trying to hit you with it, none of this stuff makes any sense.
01:51:52.340
Agrippa's trilemma basically points out that every single argument fundamentally
01:51:56.020
at like a foundational level never truly makes sense.
01:51:58.620
There's some level of like ambiguous lack of justification.
01:52:17.000
So do you want to engage in Agrippa's trilemma?
01:52:19.340
Because then you and I can just do turtles all the way down if you want to.
01:52:22.680
Again, you don't even understand what must have been debated.
01:52:24.520
But she doesn't know what it is and he won't define it.
01:52:39.120
Infinite regress is not a philosophical system.
01:52:41.180
It's a foundational issue to every single philosophical system.
01:52:47.360
So there's always a why behind your presuppositions, right?
01:52:55.340
You're not going to convince anyone in the audience that you're trumping me here.
01:52:58.920
You say that, but he still won't define a grip Australia.
01:53:02.360
Every time I try to answer, you just keep yapping.
01:53:09.040
I have a worldview view of apologetics and debate.
01:53:14.080
I said that like 10 times earlier, which you didn't hear.
01:53:17.800
So I'm not subject to a position that's a foundationalist critique.
01:53:35.120
Tell me what a presuppositional argument is since you're saying that this is my position.
01:53:39.960
A presuppositional argument is where you have like a presupposing of God.
01:53:46.780
There's, there's some foundational initial cause and everything kind of comes from that.
01:53:54.460
It's just simply an epistemic position that all arguments at root are circular.
01:54:00.020
Not every argument, but foundational commitments in a worldview are circular.
01:54:05.640
So my fundamental commitment to God or to teleology or to causation or to morals or ethics
01:54:11.200
is going to be self-referencing to God, but not all arguments.
01:54:16.340
So the trilemma or the problem or whatever you're giving to me, it doesn't apply to my
01:54:25.000
And so coherentism, coherentism is the solution that you're looking for.
01:54:32.700
Coherentism is the solution that you're looking for.
01:54:37.340
Coherentism would be like something's consistent all the way through.
01:54:51.640
That's why I didn't grant you the normativity at the beginning of the debate.
01:54:56.440
If he's going to answer for me, then I honestly probably don't need to be here.
01:55:08.200
No, I'm just willing to grant you your worldview.
01:55:17.380
Otherwise, you end up at dogmatism and I end up at infinite regression.
01:55:26.620
The problem with dogmatism is that it's circular and the problem with infinite regress is it fundamentally
01:55:31.740
All positions are dogmatic at root is what I'm arguing.
01:55:36.900
Versus incoherence and why your position is incoherent.
01:55:38.560
Which is why you grant some level of normativity.
01:55:45.100
The issue is that my positions are coherent as well.
01:55:49.160
They're just coherent in your head because they're self-referencing to your health.
01:55:52.620
You literally grounded it in your own subjective appeal.
01:56:15.180
Because a two quoque is an ad-hom based on hypocrisy.
01:56:25.020
I'm realizing that to debate Jay, I just have to memorize every single fallacy because I
01:56:42.020
You made the false analogy and then you misstated what my argument was because you can't
01:56:47.260
The key to debating Jay is memorizing lists of fallacies to point out once he uses them
01:56:55.740
I'm pretty sure the laws of thought matter in a debate.
01:57:03.660
You literally just turned it back and said, would you do this?
01:57:20.980
Hypocrisy would be if you say one thing and then do a different thing.
01:57:28.620
Don't smoke is a completely valid argument regardless of whether you smoke or not.
01:57:32.100
You don't understand what you're yapping about.
01:57:37.780
And then you hope that your opponent doesn't know them.
01:57:39.780
You have a child level understanding of what the definition is at a website.
01:57:50.540
You literally lose your mind rolling your eyes.
01:57:55.480
You're basically having like an epileptic episode trying to debate because you can't
01:58:13.020
They don't stare up into the sky and have that epileptic exercise.
01:58:16.080
She's so wrong because you looked into the sky.
01:58:18.520
No, you're just yapping and you don't even understand the things you're talking about.
01:58:23.580
So Jack, just so you guys realize, what I've done for the last hour is unironically just
01:58:28.740
employed Jay-isms back at him for an hour straight.
01:58:33.280
So if it sounds really, really stupid, her tactic was to not actually debate, but to
01:58:39.080
Which is interesting because women basically are mimicking men.
01:58:42.980
Women basically just mimic men and that's what you did.
01:58:45.840
Because you didn't have an actual argument, you're just mimicking me.
01:58:49.000
The moment that somebody just falls back on like basically circular reasoning and just
01:58:51.380
insisting that you were incoherent because you're not using the like normative framework
01:58:59.140
There's just no way to talk about these things.
01:59:01.380
So instead, all I opted to do for the last like hour and a half is your behavior.
01:59:13.220
Do you need a medicine for the epilepsy or what's going on?
01:59:20.120
I'm not even sure how it's funny that I look up.
01:59:20.920
You can't have a conversation to look in the person's eye and make your argument?
01:59:30.020
What is the argument for feminism other than GDP?
01:59:34.460
I believe that it's good for society because it leads to overall flourishing.
01:59:43.420
Well-being typically is measured by like positive mental health, some level of eudaimonic expression,
01:59:48.960
and some level of like self-report of eudaimonic expression.
01:59:51.680
It also leads to things like less missed work, greater social connections, greater access
01:59:59.320
to opportunities, all sorts of things that I think are broadly good for society, leads
02:00:04.940
And I think by and large, God doesn't want us to like be punished arbitrarily for no reason.
02:00:09.520
So I think he more or less wants a society that allows us to express in the way that we
02:00:14.140
There's probably multiple societies that would allow this in the future, not just a liberal
02:00:23.300
But earlier you argued that it was God watching this.
02:00:28.060
You said God earlier, divine command theory, and now you don't know.
02:00:32.960
It's both I don't know and divine command theory?
02:00:34.120
Yeah, I'm not, like, when it comes to my faith, I try to-
02:00:43.100
There's a paradox of faith that you have to hold, where you're simultaneously-
02:00:51.100
So now you're appealing to a paradox to get out of a contradiction?
02:00:57.180
Okay, so I think when it comes to things like my faith, I try to engage in some level of
02:01:01.620
epistemic humility where I both do my best to understand what God wants through divine
02:01:05.480
command theory, through exegesis, eisegesis, and divine revelation.
02:01:08.240
However, at the same time, I maintain a level of epistemic humility of recognizing that I
02:01:12.820
could be wrong about the infinite God, which is why I said, I don't know, but I hope so.
02:01:17.320
So the appeal to divine command theory actually doesn't work.
02:01:22.980
Because I'm using exegesis, eisegesis, and divine revelation to try to understand-
02:01:26.400
Eisegesis doesn't mean that it actually works for an argument.
02:01:33.140
That is looking at a text and getting out of the text what it means.
02:01:44.720
All the teachings of Christ contained in scripture and tradition in our view.
02:01:48.720
And I'm sure you would agree that these are typically the three things taught in most
02:01:52.040
theological schools that you should utilize to try to understand what God's
02:01:56.040
But that doesn't mean that you have an argument because you're appealing to what's
02:02:00.180
That's what I'm trying to get you to understand.
02:02:01.220
My argument is based on divine command theory, and I use exegesis, eisegesis, and divine
02:02:04.580
revelation to try to understand what I think God wants, and then I try to apply that to
02:02:08.120
Yeah, but I'm telling you why it's not a good argument.
02:02:11.920
Because you just said that I don't know if it's right, and so I can't appeal to
02:02:16.160
Do you know exactly what God wants in all ways?
02:02:34.300
That's an honest response to my relationship with Christ.
02:02:37.860
Are you 100% confident that you know what God wants?
02:02:42.440
Are you 100% confident that you know what God wants?
02:02:44.620
My subjective state of confidence doesn't matter about an argument or not.
02:02:47.700
Do you think that you know 100% what God wants?
02:02:49.860
This is the problem is that you think that your subjective state of argumentation or of
02:02:55.180
being convinced relates to an argument and it doesn't?
02:03:03.680
Oh, so would you say that you're using your subjective state to interpret the world around
02:03:08.440
Do you think that because everyone has a subjective state that everything is subjective?
02:03:15.600
So I also would agree that just because I'm using my best interpretation, it doesn't mean
02:03:19.840
that it's subjective because I'm using things like exegesis.
02:03:22.840
Exegesis is not subjective as much as possible, right?
02:03:27.640
You're listening to rabbis and the original readers of the language to try to understand
02:03:36.960
Ideally, ideally the goal is to be as less subjective as possible.
02:03:40.040
That would make my point that it's not subjective.
02:03:43.060
And so you are appealing to something that you claim to know.
02:03:49.440
Because that's the level of like self-interpretation that every single Christian is doing.
02:03:53.880
In fact, you're doing to try to understand your divine command theory.
02:03:57.120
What does this have to do with proving your argument?
02:04:02.140
But that doesn't mean you're getting to the same conclusions or it's a good argument.
02:04:06.740
But that doesn't mean that mine is somehow incoherent.
02:04:11.900
The use of the thing has nothing to do with the argument.
02:04:14.640
I'm using your own logic to establish why I am being coherent.
02:04:28.580
My argument is that feminism is good because it does a number of things, which I've listed
02:04:34.120
And you appealed that on the basis of divine command theory.
02:04:37.400
And now you say that I don't know what's right.
02:04:39.240
Why don't we have an interesting conversation and you argue with me about like GDP or like
02:04:45.160
Because we're going to the thing rather than just like quibbling about like presuppositionalism.
02:05:05.380
Because what it means is that we're both being coherent, but we still end up with different
02:05:15.400
You don't use exegesis, eisegesis, and divine revelation?
02:05:17.660
Words mean different things in different systems.
02:05:18.700
Do you not use these three things to understand the will of God?
02:05:20.180
Using them has nothing to do with whether that backs up your argument.
02:05:23.260
Interesting, so you will agree that basically you're doing the same thing as me to build
02:05:27.160
up your presuppositions, but somehow my presupposition is incoherent, but yours is super coherent.
02:05:32.760
How does the use prove that your conclusions are correct?
02:05:41.480
Even if it doesn't, it means that your argument doesn't prove feminism.
02:05:44.580
And your argument doesn't prove anything either because of this trilemma.
02:05:50.620
If you failed in your argument, then you've lost.
02:05:59.260
Whoever has any of your presuppositions with any of these things.
02:06:00.960
All I have to do is internally critique you and let you flounder and refute yourself,
02:06:11.320
All that's going to happen is that your desperate friends are going to be like,
02:06:14.520
man, this guy said things I liked, so she's right.
02:06:17.680
This is why you're yelling and melting down is because when you got presupp.
02:06:23.840
I have to talk over you because you're losing here.
02:06:38.840
We're about at the two-hour mark, so we'll get the closing statements in just a bit.
02:06:45.180
We're going to do a roast session if you want, $69 TTS, streamlabs.com slash whatever if you want to get a roast in.
02:06:51.560
Also, be sure to stay tuned, guys, as we're winding down this debate.
02:06:56.220
Kyla here is sticking around for another debate.
02:07:03.540
I think we're going to go live in about an hour, hour, hour and a half.
02:07:18.540
She isn't slurring tonight, but none of her arguments have improved.
02:07:28.220
Thank you so much, Silent, for your $100 blank super chat.
02:07:35.860
Yes, my wife is actually watching me bullying you online and always watches whatever with me.
02:07:54.000
Yeah, me and my wife both enjoy being mean to women online.
02:08:20.380
You can just look through scripture and see that he is constantly saying.
02:08:24.580
For example, there's multiple verses where he says, like, things that were wrong back then
02:08:28.860
or weren't wrong back then were not wrong because they didn't understand.
02:08:38.700
It's understanding people within the context of where they are and applying rules based on that.
02:08:45.660
You were indoctrinated with post-modernism and that's why you thought St. Paul was a post-modernist.
02:08:50.380
So you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
02:09:04.840
Erudite, it is super interesting to watch you try and walk the line trying to claim patriarchy
02:09:10.040
and feminism are not at odds when feminism has its space in the destruction of patriarchy.
02:09:16.340
Yeah, I just think that when feminists do that, it's harmful.
02:09:18.860
I don't think that patriarchy by itself is bad, but I do think that patriarchy that is
02:09:24.020
And so feminism is at its root trying to block the obstacles by which we make patriarchy
02:09:29.880
a necessity rather than allowing patriarchy to emerge naturally.
02:09:33.140
So another way to show that she lost the debate is that her position is unfalsifiable because
02:09:38.880
anytime it gets challenged, she can redefine the terms to be whatever it needs to be at that
02:09:44.240
And if you go back and watch the debate, she did that multiple times.
02:09:47.040
I've used the exact same definition the entire time.
02:09:49.420
But the definition was broad enough to fit this critique that I made.
02:09:53.980
And again, if you didn't like it, if you didn't like it, Jay, you shouldn't agree to it.
02:10:07.060
Do you think that trans people only existed after we made up the word trans?
02:10:30.960
Do you think that trans people only began to exist after the word was invented?
02:10:35.600
That was the only time that trans people now exist?
02:10:37.360
Feminism is the thing that we're debating, which is a historical movement.
02:10:39.980
Do you think that any concept don't exist until we made the word for it?
02:10:42.660
You already admitted it's a historical movement.
02:10:44.220
Like, crocodile weren't real until we made the word crocodile.
02:10:47.040
You already admitted in the debate it's a historical movement.
02:10:51.520
That just has nothing to do with anything because feminism is also a concept.
02:10:54.820
So now again, for the fourth time you contradicted yourself because you said that the history does matter.
02:10:58.320
As the day said, a word can mean two different things.
02:11:01.100
Feminist as a movement is not what I'm here to defend.
02:11:06.060
You admitted an hour ago that the movement is necessarily bound up with the history, you idiot.
02:11:16.040
So now you've lost again for the tenth time in the debate.
02:11:18.980
Again, if you desperately need all of history to define a concept, that's fine.
02:11:28.500
Like social movements that come out of the French Revolution.
02:11:32.520
So a movement can create a concept and then the concept can then be retroactively applied
02:11:41.100
This is why Paul's not a postmodernist, you moron.
02:11:43.060
This is why we can call things liberal democracies before the word liberal democracy existed.
02:11:50.200
This is why, for example, we would say that the founding fathers created a democracy even
02:11:55.840
though they didn't invent the word democracy yet.
02:12:07.980
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in a debate.
02:12:10.620
He engaged with the Bible the same way that I did.
02:12:11.980
I've never heard a stupider statement than that.
02:12:15.760
That's because you don't even know what I think, Jay.
02:12:19.480
You have blabbered the most insane spaghetti splash diarrhea nonsense on the wall.
02:12:34.920
So you're just admitting now that you don't even know what...
02:12:37.400
I'm supposed to know your made-up Protestant position?
02:12:39.080
You're attacking me for it, so you should, yeah, probably have an idea of what it is.
02:12:44.980
There is no such thing as your made-up radical Protestant orthodoxy.
02:12:48.840
I'm sorry, radical orthodoxy just is a theological branch.
02:12:53.240
So I'm supposed to know her position in debate.
02:12:54.380
You could ask me and then engage with me based on it.
02:13:05.420
And you haven't given an argument for feminism.
02:13:06.940
I have given an argument for feminism multiple times.
02:13:09.160
If you want to keep laughing about the Paul post-modernist thing, you can just ask me
02:13:17.320
You just want to be bad faith and then blabber on so that your audience can be like, oh yeah.
02:13:26.080
It explains how you're able to read back into history all these positions that don't exist.
02:13:29.820
I know that you're smarter than this, which means that I know that you're being bad
02:13:33.080
And there's nothing that I can do in a conversation other than be bad faith back.
02:13:43.880
We have Nolly, looks like, bought something at shop.whatever.com.
02:14:01.360
This would have been way better if Jay, in good faith, pushed heredite's understanding
02:14:05.560
of Christianity with an intention to correct her.
02:14:13.120
As a Christian, you should be really, really...
02:14:14.720
So, I think that what he's applying to, like, one thing is heretical.
02:14:19.580
And as a Christian to Christian, you should be really, really, really, really, really cautious
02:14:24.040
when commenting on, like, the state of people's salvation.
02:14:28.680
I'm not at any point going to say that I think Jay is or isn't saved.
02:14:32.020
Somebody saying that I'm an outright heretic is essentially implying that I'm going to hell.
02:14:41.480
You can keep asking, but he's asking for evidence to back up your claims.
02:14:46.520
At equals asserting a belief, someone then asking why, and why you believe that, and so on.
02:14:53.880
So, we did that, and I gave reasons why, and then I started getting into evidence, and then
02:15:04.140
And so, we circled back up to my thesis, and then I proceeded to my thesis, and then
02:15:09.600
I outlined my arguments and evidence again, and then he said, oh, that's not an argument,
02:15:16.300
And so, we circled back and back and back, because Jay can't actually engage with a concept.
02:15:21.120
He has to just constantly attack basically semantics.
02:15:25.000
I'm going to tell you this one time, and I'm not ever going to say this again, tampons
02:15:41.820
If NSC believes ancient Israel was a feminist society, would she be happy with us moving to
02:15:48.880
If not, doesn't this demonstrate Jay's point that her definition is too broad?
02:15:54.360
Yeah, I don't believe that Israel was broadly a feminist society.
02:15:57.300
I think that it had more levels of feminism that I was talking about than other societies
02:16:02.200
But by no means would I encapsulate that as like...
02:16:14.340
That, again, you can apply words that were invented later historically, which is why we
02:16:19.440
can say the founding fathers invented a liberal democracy, even though they didn't use the
02:16:30.520
And if you won't do that, you're just being retarded.
02:16:31.580
That's why it's an ambiguity fallacy, because you can make the position unfalsifiable.
02:16:37.000
If that's the case, I could say that everything in history is patriarchy because history was
02:16:42.800
All you have to do to dismantle my argument is prove how feminism doesn't empower women.
02:16:49.000
The internal critiques already did that, which you didn't even understand.
02:16:55.840
I'm just going to have a meta conversation instead.
02:16:57.400
Just for a second time, just got to move it on, though.
02:17:00.160
Grandma's sweaters, thank you for this message.
02:17:08.380
The fundamental issue is feminism also divorces God and God's reps, trad males, which leads
02:17:20.260
I see a question mark at the end there, but I don't know if this is...
02:17:29.800
I don't know how societal conflict leads to problems with GDP.
02:17:35.640
Grandma's sweaters, if you want to send in a clarifying message, you can.
02:17:43.200
Not so bright as a miserable woman on the inside.
02:17:46.580
She is also a degenerate, woke, pig snake, kuma gremlin.
02:17:55.060
But I have a feeling that if I had an OnlyFans, this guy would be subbed to it for sure.
02:18:01.980
I don't have one, and I would never will, but...
02:18:08.500
If I had some humility, she could learn a lot from this.
02:18:19.320
All right, we have Inquisitor Zeal coming in here in just a moment with a message.
02:18:23.520
If you want to get your own in, $69 TTS, streamlabs.com slash whatever.
02:18:28.240
If you want to get a little message in here at the end.
02:18:33.040
It took two hours, but she finally said, God wants a society that allows us to express in the way that we want to.
02:18:40.260
Her God is individualism, just like every feminist which destroys civilization.
02:18:54.540
I don't think it's the highest value in society.
02:18:56.060
Of course it's not the highest, but are you opposed to individualism?
02:19:14.360
Although I agree what Jay, this debate was kind of unwatchable due to the constant childish mocking.
02:19:20.920
Having said that, Erudite should have let Jay give the definition in his terms.
02:19:28.820
I would have loved for Jay to just define his words.
02:19:36.560
Jay, you should have defined your words if you didn't like my definitions.
02:19:44.620
Yeah, but debates are for you defending your position.
02:19:48.860
If you don't like my definition, then you should supply your own.
02:19:52.280
I don't have to supply your position's definitions.
02:19:56.240
If I say feminism is this, if I say feminism is this, and you go, I reject that, then the
02:20:01.720
onus is on you to supply a different definition.
02:20:02.400
I'm going to let you make your mistakes in a debate.
02:20:06.020
I'm going to let you define things in a dumb way and then call you out later.
02:20:09.280
How do you have a debate about feminism if you won't supply a definition and you won't
02:20:16.340
You don't understand how debates work that I'm arguing the position against your position.
02:20:37.340
You did, because you tried to make ancient Israelites feminist.
02:20:47.700
Name one society where it would work that wasn't in a Wonder Woman movie.
02:20:54.000
Be back to watch her get demolished by Jim Bob.
02:20:58.920
Do you want to do a quick response to the first question?
02:21:01.760
Feminism is not like a societal hierarchy system.
02:21:04.200
Maybe you're talking about matriarchies, but matriarchies are broadly not that successful.
02:21:13.980
Please grant my definition of good in the is feminism good debate.
02:21:21.300
That you would come to a debate and think that people grant you the positions that you're defending?
02:21:28.740
You're learning that you don't know how to debate.
02:21:30.400
No, I'm learning that you literally don't want to define words because that way you can
02:21:34.980
pretend to win by just whining about words the whole time.
02:21:51.240
You said ancient Israelites were feminists because they had women...
02:22:00.640
Then define feminism differently and we can quibble about that.
02:22:07.300
As long as I quibble about words, then I can pretend I won.
02:22:11.880
To anyone who thinks whatever only brings on dumb women, I present it to you, Jay.
02:22:34.740
You're actually such a smart person and you're so informed.
02:22:39.760
Literally, I'm doing a debate at this level and you're debating right here.
02:22:45.900
No, you just don't know what we're talking about.
02:22:53.780
I was giving you a compliment and saying it would have been...
02:22:55.800
Yeah, but I'm helping you and giving you a compliment and saying you should not debate.
02:23:05.760
What I was saying, Jay, if I could just finish this thought, is that I was actually looking
02:23:09.620
forward to a really interesting discussion because I think you are really philosophically
02:23:12.520
grounded out and I think it could have been interesting, but instead you wanted to quibble
02:23:15.780
over words and just like do dumb like gotchas that are meaningless.
02:23:20.640
And therefore, we didn't put forward any interesting...
02:23:22.840
No, the debate's happening at a level that you're not understanding.
02:23:33.100
I am asking the most important question we men want to know.
02:23:37.040
Woman, what sandwich do you make the best and most often?
02:23:41.080
Also, evidently the new Pope is a woke ass bag.
02:23:45.840
What is your favorite sandwich to make, I guess?
02:23:50.180
Probably just like a panini with like lots of meat and cheese.
02:24:15.280
If you want to get a couple more in, last call on the TTS roast.
02:24:23.400
Then we're going to do closing statements and get this wrapped.
02:24:28.100
Jay would agree that the OT patriarchs were Eastern Orthodox and worshipped the Trinity,
02:24:33.100
even though that concept as we understand it didn't exist.
02:24:36.980
Can absolutely retroactively apply newer concepts.
02:24:45.280
So, what we're going to do now is I'm going to have each of you give a up to five-minute closing statement.
02:24:59.320
Since we basically didn't actually talk about the topic today, which is unfortunate,
02:25:03.840
I guess I would say debates are like this thing that I love a lot.
02:25:09.200
It doesn't mean I'm perfect or awesome at them necessarily, but they're supposed to be this Socratic thing where we engage in trying to find better ideas and better truth, essentially.
02:25:20.280
And you do that by being good faith to some degree, by allowing and granting certain norms of one another and engaging with one another in their thought and not just like constantly falling back to like whining about words and just like basically just trying to insist that your opponent makes no sense based on almost nothing at all but like whining about words.
02:25:42.480
It's just like semantic arguments, which is unfortunate because I think that this could have been a really meaningful conversation.
02:25:46.900
I think feminism as like a concept can be really valuable and I defend it a lot, but I'm extremely critical of the feminist movement, which I make a distinction from.
02:25:57.260
Maybe that would have been helpful if I made that more clear.
02:26:01.940
The feminist movement has been full of lots of pretty bad gender opportunists, which is unfortunate.
02:26:07.280
A lot of civil rights movements get hijacked by bad actors.
02:26:10.140
And I think as a result of it, it's left a lot of men with a bitter taste for feminism in their mouth.
02:26:15.240
And to be clear, I don't think most men should be feminists.
02:26:17.360
I think women should be feminists because it's about women.
02:26:20.440
And I think when women lie and pretend that it's about both genders, it's cringe and stupid.
02:26:26.100
Overall, I think a society that gives women more options and choices so long as they're not harming others is a good society and tries to incentivize good behavior.
02:26:38.520
And I want a world that goes towards these things.
02:26:43.540
What Jay wants is a world where he can yell at everyone from the top of his crown-wearing throne about words and tell them that they don't know anything that they're talking about.
02:26:53.260
And then agreeing that they basically have the exact same type of, like, coherent presuppositional system.
02:26:58.340
But then insisting that you're stupid and wrong and don't know anything because he essentially disagrees with my worldview without ever actually dismantling why I'm wrong about, like, GDP for women.
02:27:09.500
He just literally couldn't even engage with that.
02:27:12.040
Maybe he doesn't know what the word GDP means, but he's smart.
02:27:17.740
Instead, Jay robbed you of that for I'm not really sure.
02:27:20.920
And then he's going to end this by insisting that he won because he caught me in all these contradictions while also just, like, misquoting fallacies.
02:27:28.500
And I guess to liberals, pro tips, when you debate people like this, you unfortunately just, like, have to be bad faith.
02:27:34.600
And it just turns into, like, annoying dunk sessions where you are mean to each other.
02:27:39.580
And that's all you can basically do, which is unfortunate because I think we could have had a better discussion.
02:27:44.840
And people don't win because they say the things that you like.
02:27:58.600
I don't know if it was a diary entry or was that a closing statement because it sounded like a diary entry.
02:28:03.560
But, yeah, so, I mean, feminism is not beneficial to society.
02:28:09.460
I laid out my case, why, both historically and in terms of, especially not in terms of scripture and divine revelation, which he claims to agree with or believe in.
02:28:18.640
I mean, Paul says to Timothy that women should not teach.
02:28:21.740
Women should not be an authority in the church.
02:28:23.340
The church is a historically patriarchal institution.
02:28:26.720
We don't have women preachers, women ministers.
02:28:28.660
And so women have a degree of rights or we could say their dignity is because they're made in the image of God just like men.
02:28:37.340
But that does not translate into equality of roles.
02:28:40.440
And, of course, the New Testament is abundantly clear about that.
02:28:42.980
And, as I said, when Paul tells Timothy that women are not to preach or teach but should be in subjection and should be silent, especially in the religious realm.
02:28:52.560
So, most of what she argued for today was her own subjective relativist positions that she wants, that she thinks, she thinks that eisegesis and exegesis back up this idea that because God is bigger than the idea of modern liberalism, even though he's willed modern liberalism, that that's what's good for society.
02:29:15.440
She committed multiple fallacies throughout the discussion.
02:29:18.100
I never heard an exact clear argument as to why we ought to choose feminism.
02:29:23.020
She spent the first 45 minutes talking about how oughts are not relevant here because this was pragmatic.
02:29:28.920
I think if you know about debates, debates are about making the argument from an epistemic justified true belief position.
02:29:39.600
And I asked for that at least a couple times in the debate.
02:29:44.040
So, I don't think that any of us heard any compelling arguments other than just GDP.
02:29:48.360
Well, GDP is not good enough to show us why we ought to have this position or this ideology unless GDP is somehow the highest good or the best thing that we should shoot for.
02:30:00.460
So, that's precisely why in the debate I kept asking for what her basis for the good is.
02:30:08.640
She said that was a meta discussion and it was a circular discussion.
02:30:13.460
All these deflections away from the fact that everything that she argued for she based on a thing that was subjective.
02:30:19.720
That would make ultimately her arguments subjective and thus she lost the debate.
02:30:24.740
So, I don't think we heard any convincing arguments for feminism.
02:30:28.860
And in fact, I think we heard that a better case for patriarchy from her own position because she claims to be a Christian.
02:30:37.200
And clearly, feminism and Christianity are absolutely antithetical unless you think Paul was a postmodernist.
02:30:54.440
Thank you both for joining me today for this debate.
02:31:01.400
I guess that would be a good way to characterize it.
02:31:04.280
We do have one last chat that looks like it's made its way through.
02:31:17.420
Not so bright talk to your daddy destiny next time for the proper talking points.
02:31:23.560
I'm telling you, he's subbing to my OnlyFans if I have one.
02:31:29.120
Well, guys, if you enjoyed this stream, if you enjoyed this debate, we have one right after it.
02:31:33.920
We're going to take about a 30, 45-minute break in between.
02:31:39.100
Kyla will be debating Jim Bob, who you've seen before on the show, and that'll be great.
02:31:46.480
Mods, if you can spam the link for that, I'm going to spam it in the chat too.
02:31:52.880
So if you guys want to just make sure you head on over to the waiting room for that live stream,
02:31:58.140
it's on our channel, youtube.com slash whatever.
02:32:01.800
And let me just double check, make sure we're all caught up with everything.
02:32:15.980
Not so erudite, a.k.a. the female reincarnative Christopher Hitchens, or better yet, Gore Vidal.
02:32:23.240
I don't know if that, depending on how you feel about those two people,
02:32:25.960
that's either a really big compliment or an insult to life.
02:32:31.940
I mean, Christopher Hitchens is a pretty sharp guy, I guess.
02:32:35.440
Well, guys, thank you so much for joining us today.
02:32:45.500
So let me just double check, make sure we're all good.
02:32:47.660
Guys, like the video on the way out if you're enjoying the stream.
02:32:50.360
Also, if you're watching over there on Twitch, we'll be back up on Twitch.
02:32:54.300
