  1. "I don't want to use loaded words glibly, but this feels Providential" At some chapter in the life of James Lindsay, a Christian conversion is possible. God grant that he lives long enough to meet it.

  2. "Left-wing authoritarianism is associated with power-striving" Yeah, history bears that out pretty well.

  3. "It's not bravery, it's that I know what to be afraid of" Same thing, according to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics

  4. "If you can't take responsibility for your words, you shouldn't be allowed free rein in the realm of discourse" What kind of authority imposes the consequences for that responsibility, and by what criteria are they imposing it?

  5. "It's not what's wrong with women" Are you sure that women are not being culturally conditioned to feel entitled to make demands on men that are far beyond reason? Men are being told, "You just have to sit down and shut up, you have no right to be part of this conversation". For some reason people are surprised that men are walking away from the outcome of that conversation, because that's the only option left to us.

  6. "Schwab needs a crow on his shoulder" So he's the Wotan that Jung warned us about?

  7. "That's what the words you're saying mean... YOU may not mean anything" Yeah, this is the proper response to those who devalue speech to the point that all they use is slogans, and want speech they don't like censored.

  8. "Not that the world is constructed in an ill-gotten manner" Do you support present-day divorce law?

  9. You left out the part of Jonah that's practically a satire of the "great prophet" archetype, at least compared to Abraham.

  10. "How can someone come and challenge me if I vanish?" So the real issue is not anonymity, but durability and criticizability? Would a long-held persona, then, be a good compromise conveying the benefits of both anonymity's protection and its potential for abuse?

  11. "S*tan is an evil clown" Yes, that's why The Joker is the most durable and iconic of the entire DC comics "Rogue's Gallery". By the way, Batman isn't God in this telling -- Commissioner Gordon is, the avatar of Order. Batman is what is outside the order that can help restore the order.

  12. At about 1:08:20, Was that "The Golem story" or was that "The Gollum story"?

  13. Huh. So I need to look for an editor, then, although I wouldn't like one to inhibit the core of what I'm saying, just polish what (if anything) is of value there.

  14. Ha, James gets through this without using the word "Cathar".
