  1. Unfortunately I don't have (or believe) in a sixth sense and the five we do have can't detect the supernatural and I still don't know how you even know you can trust your senses You do realize that I can't see through your eyes, therefore "your senses" give no explanatory power for others. Any evidence that's not soley based on your feelings?
  2. Let me be clear, I think (save the examples I've already mentioned) that speech should be protected at all costs and think ze and zer (or whatever ) are ridiculous and in no way think misgendering someone rises to the point of hate speech ( though it is a dick move) But I went through my early years with more than one nickname, I see no difference between that and a Trans person asking people to use the name they want to be called. But, I will reiterate that, bill c-16 (yes I had to look it up, hahaha) does not criminalize speech, it just doesn't allow people to discriminate against people based on their gender expression, Unless you can provide an example of someone that was charged criminally for simple speech , not inciting violence or blatant hate speech, but simple speech. Do you know what came of their law suits against the university? Edit: I also feel that (warranted or not) private (or semi private in the case of universities) organizations can make internal decisions based on their principles (baring anything that may infringe on their fundamental rights, an employee right to say whatever they want to anyone would not fall under that). That's capitalism. If one of my employees made for example, a racist comment to another employee, I would fire them on the spot, regardless if it was his right or not. I sign your cheque you follow my rules and a university professor should be held to an even higher standard.
  3. No worries, though I would like you to respond to my post that provided counter points to the specific arguments you did make.
  4. How can you agree with me and call me a hypocrite in the same breath? It would almost be funny if it weren't so sad
  5. I've read the Bible, thanks So tell me what you think (pun intended) that the Bible can explain
  6. Nope, a number divided by zero is considered by mathematicians to be undefined. Even zero. Seriously, you are one of the most ignorant people I've ever had the misfortune of speaking with
  7. Dude you're literally repeating your own nonsense, you're pathetic. Of course science doesn't speak to god, religion isn't part of the natural world. Nope, god has no explanatory power
  8. Binary is a computer language, the one and the zero are nothing but characters they not actual numbers Infinity is not a number.
  9. Oh you're getting snippy. This was written before you responded to my original post and this metaphysical substrate in considered a big part of his world view. So maybe if you don't agree with what he says you shouldn't defend his intellectual prowess
  10. Nope, I mentioned Confucius and Zoroastrianism . You're response was exactly what I said. I didn't even mention them stealing from Horus or Greek philosophy either, and I could go on So any actual argument?
  11. I know you're not resorting to putting words in my mouth right? If memory serves me all that happened in the Shepard case, was some student didn't like a video she showed,complained to the university, who held a meeting where they suggested she may have done something wrong. It was then passed up to an independent arbitrator that said that, the university was wrong to even have a meeting with her and she had done nothing wrong. So no legal consequences or even sanctions from the university at all. The bill in question did nothing but add gender expression to the protected class clause of the Charter. So it's as illegal as not hiring a woman simply because she's a woman. It is not illegal though to just say women shouldn't be in the work plac or not using people's prefers pronouns . So he was very wrong. I'm not asking you to detail everything he's said throughout the many,many times he's spoke, I'm asking for one specific thing he has said that you find "interesting," enough to include it in your world view. I have listened to him many times and all I hear is a whole bunch of words (personally I don't think anyone really understands him , most are just not intellectually honest enough to admit it) without him actually saying anything.
  12. You can't divide anything by zero nimrod, particularly when it's not even a number . Divide a banana by zero
  13. So make an actual argument because if you think "GASP lots of people say things" is valid or sound. Just quit now numbskull
  14. First, let me drop a little science on you (science is a credible method of finding truth, or the complete opposite of faith, the only thing you have to cling to) infinity is not a number it is a philosophical concept that isn't used in the hard sciences. Second, confirming that the core tenant of christianity is something that is known according to your math by more people then have ever existed and many of them, again by your math about two thirds of the infinite people that have lived in the universe according to your Bible (apologies if you don't believe in young earth but I seem to remember you arguing for the validity of Genesis) before the advent of christianity, doesn't really support the truth of christianity
  15. Oh in that sense I agree completely. I like to say that, all people are equally entitled to their opinions but not all opinions are equal, and if someone is preaching hate, or even claiming something that clearly does not comport with reality reasonable people have a responsibility to call them on their bullshìt
  16. Ok big guy P.S. Confucius spoke about doing unto others, aka the eleventh commandment centuries before Jesus But ya, some similarities
  17. One must differentiate between beliefs and actions, what someone believes in the sanctity of their own home, I feel is beyond reproach, now when those beliefs turn into actions and those actions cause harm ie: burning down the branch davidian complex with people inside. I am quick to denounce I do agree that those with the most extreme views are also the people that suffer the most from Dunning Kruger
  18. Even his concept of a Judeo-Christian metaphysical substrate (besides just being nothing more than educated verbal diarrhea) manages to completely negate the fact that we know, Jewish and Christian theology borrowed extensively from Confucius and Zoroastrianism, just to mention a couple, and these philosophies predate christianity and Judaism by hundreds of years respectively.
  19. And you can't prove they do , and science is not nonsensical bullshìt So follow your own advice pervert
  20. So you're just not going to answer my question. Again, when the best you have is the rubber glue defense. Oh , sorry you call people perverts as well. Just quit pedo
  21. First, I agree David Suzuki comes off arrogant. Second, I never suggested that Peterson is a partisan hack nor do I believe he , or anyone else (save those that preach hate or are advocating for violence) should be "cancelled" Third, he was wrong about the law, to the point that the Canadian government released a statement to denounce him. Forth, what I did say is he hasn't said anything of substance since "clean your room" and speaks almost exclusively in word salad (high syllable word salad, but still word salad But I invite you to give me the specific wisdom you feel you have acquired from listening to Jordan Peterson.
  22. So none? And even if I give you the benefit of the doubt,at best that would be discernment not wisdom. You're terrible at this (and by this I mean using the English language properly)
  23. None of the five senses can detect the supernatural and even if they could how do you know your senses can be trusted. I use empirical evidence, that corresponds to reality, what empirical evidence do you use that supports these "additional realms of existence" ?
  24. Oh, is that what happened to you?
