  1. Yea lets not expect someone to change their whole worldview so quickly. Dave even said in this video that people are resistant due to the psychological weight.

  2. @premodernprejudices3027 I think the joke here is the spelling of the word. Methematics. Easy to miss.

  3. The ones who are aware of their lack of knowledge usually side with anti-intellectualism as a cope. They want to feel better about themselves instead of cracking open a book. The shame of it in our modern times is that access to resources has never been so plentiful. Im literally writing this on a channel that gives free education in his videos (Thank you Dave).

  4. That's what philosophy deals best in, abstractions. It becomes less abstract the more you learn. You'll have more questions but the foundation you build after learning will help you understand. Just don't conflate abstraction with incoherence. Its on you to understand what things mean.

  5. "This is not science" *Dave tells you it is a social science "Psychology is not science" Wow how rigorous of you.

  6. I really hope this guy's fame dies off soon. This is actually insane.

  7. I want to see your breakdown on Ayer's Emotivism as I see it quite often nowadays. Also I think itd be cool to get your stances on philosophy in seperate videos or something

  8. @Jcs57 Platforming doesn't imply advocacy. Verbally advocating something or speaking positive about it does. The clear refutation of this are channels that deliberately have opposition on to feed their echo chamber the usless discussions. To add on to the rest of this nonsensical discussion happening here. Deplatforming is a B.S idea. Wrong answers need limelight so opposition can also exist. Ignoring bad ideas doesn't mean they will go away. This is proven via hegelian dialectic. Also because some "Bad ideas" have potential to be good ones. This is important to avoid the Tyranny of the collective.

  9. Yes, because he had to be. Heresy was executable. Newton was also religious because even during his time just simply being a Deist was enough for excommunication. Lets not act like there was a choice in the matter.

  10. Considering the is-ought is still a modern logical tool, which Hume uses against moral objectivism id say Dave probably agrees with Hume. Morals cannot be objective because of the is ought.

  11. We have a polity in the US. Absolute democracies are usually things like anarchy. Our system is a democratic-republic since we have a democratic vote for representatives that then vote on our behalf. Absolute democracies are bad but having some form of voting citizenry is good, just not in it's Absolute form.

  12. That's all anyone knew how to do science back then and people didn't apply inference until the 16th cenutry.
