That’s hilarious and also good on you. Neurodivergence wins again. I think people new in rhetoric can’t help but answer a carefully laid out question because that is how conversation works. But in debate if you someone says, “well if you think this then would you…” you know they are leading you somewhere. You can reject the premise.
JP knows this and employs it but he decides to employ it so often in a few sections on absolute gimme questions, like “would you lie to Nazis”. Some will say it’s because he’s crypto and maybe so but I think he sees the trap being laid and wants to avoid it. He can always avoid it later the line or claim a false-equivalency. But the real irony is that he didn’t need to be in that situation in the first place if he didn’t try to post-structurally prance his way out of the belief question. Oh, you wouldn’t put yourself in the quagmire of lying to a Nazi, bitch, you couldn’t even avoid the quagmire of dodging this set of questions.
Honestly I’m just a bully with a conscience lol. The proudest moment of my debate “career” was my “first debate” in hs psychology where we had to “debate gay marriage” and I just made the baptist kid admit he was going to his own hell because he was against basic happiness 😂
Peterson says this crypto shit and then wonders why he gets fans asking him about “the Jewish Question.” It’s been pointed out to him the phrase “Post-modern cultural neo-Marxism” is a nazi dogwhistle, but he keeps using it. I think the only conclusion to draw from that is Peterson is a nazi and a fascist too chickenshit to admit it.
