1:23:04 let's be real, Nguyen has tried to speak to you, has publsih a profession, mathematical critique of your work, and I keep trying to get you to respond to him.
No malice, no trolling, just a "Streisand squeeze" right back at you.
Nobody would even bother hounding you about responding to critics if you didn't keep going on podcasts for a decade complaining nobody will talk to you.
We're listening, we want you to sincere criticism. Perfectly respectful. Just speak to the person who spent tens of hours reviewing your work to publish a criticsm of it at length.
Ive watched everything Eric has ever published, read almost half of it. Nothing but respect coming from me. I love hearing Eric's perspective. Stop whining that you're not taken seriously and that you take criticism if you're just not. If you're scared of criticism.
Quote Sean Carroll to prove he's "diabolical" or "malicious". Sean has a podcast you're welcome on, just go and talk to Sean if you actually want to, as you say 1:28:57
Stop whining. You're better than this, Eric.

This is so frustrating. Mutations aren't one generation or carried forward once. A harmful mutation carried forward 10,000 years can later meet another harmful mutation and become hugely beneficial. You need to carry neutral or harmful mutations for the variety of the species, it's an existential benefit to struggle, carry recessive genes, or have sick people.
As a person with diabetes and autoimmune conditions I'm not saying disabling issues like colitis and blindness are great to live with, but to have competent doctors you need sick people for them to treat. To level out the gene pool under the hubris of knowing what's best for humans for all of time is utterly incompetent and selfish. You can't possibly believe narrowing variation is a good thing when all of logic and science suggest otherwise.
Look up sickle cell, horrible disease. There's a benefit to that mutation though, having just one recessive gene is protective against malaria. Now imagine malaria outbreak résistent to all drugs but the gene pool has completely selected sickle cell out of the population. That's extinction. It's absurd to pretend you can see that far into the future to manually select all unfavourable diseases when you can't know what diseases will exist or be protective tomorrow without knowing how to hand write DNA to generate new species.
It is not a fact that "deliterious mutations accumulate", he's completely made this up based on his feelings. Lower disease this generation says nothing about protecting a species or nation from extinction 10/100/1,000/etc years later. Accumulated mutations like being shorter could easily be beneficial given things like bone density by mass don't scale linearly, hence the limit to human size. Being short and strong could mean less food requirement and short genes could obviously compound.
There are so many reasons not to be tall and lanky like I am and just as many reasons tall and lanky fit for swimming and climbing might also avert extinctions one day, not least being having short and tall people mean both can help each other.
This is so incredibly ill thought and he's so proud and sure that nothing exists beyond his first impression of the greatest complex system in the known universe. These ideas are unbelievably myopic and incoherently simplistic.
What would make more sense is to select for growing organs and developing medications from embryos, to treat the variation that arises because propagating the most variety in the gene pool is actually in everyone's long term best interest.

1:30:30 It's so frustrating that neither of you seem to realize that Jordan B Peterson is in her parody phase, as he goes on about hierarchies, resolution/bandwidth, and sincerity for the eleventh straight year, now dressing like a casino pit boss to appear more officious about his meanderings. Nothing new has come from him since he made that statement about others repeating themselves.
Very smart guy, very articulate, funny, charming, all that; but look at his daily thoughts on twitter. He can't stop reacting to limbic crack on twitter and tv. He's a psychologist and talks about the very thing he engages in 40 times a day lol. He's a scientist but refuses to learn statistics even when it's been pointed out the study (singular, not plural) about rats playfighting drew an absurd conclusion from the data. His only focus is Piaget and Jung, as if he stopped reading 30 years ago and just leans on the Bible for reality and science ever since.
There's much contradiction in his speaking tours which makes it all the funnier both of you keep crediting him with coining a phrase about avoiding it 😂
I know all this about jbp because I loved listening and reading his thoughts and process. I defended him, I'm not a hater. In fact when you love someone it's your duty to call them out when they fail to meet their own standards, that's all I'm doing by criticizing him. It's live, not hate. He has more potential than this pettiness and aversion to updating prior with new information like learning math and stats instead of quoting the inferences made by others. Double checking the soundness of sources and premise when you're challenged about it and self-promoting as a scholar and man of science. His Bibi interview was an infomercial. His ben Shapiro interview was like watching Trump on Fox and friends or hannity. He's bringing his daughter into to fold as she hones her millennial outrage crafted disposition. And on, and on, it's just really sad to see. I hope he gets back to his old self one day, and to do that we need people like you to recognize his regression over the past few years since that nasty drug abuse took over his mind.
