I recently saw that retarded interview with memerson and lo and behold he has written a book. Has anyone here read it ? Any rat specific discussion online about it ?

JBP is a girl-voiced decelerationist cuck, I wouldn't bother with it.

Holy shit has language evolved so far that you can be cucked by the literal march of time?

What retarded interview? I've only seen his interview with Haidt, and that one was fine.

Cuck lel XD

JBP is a wise man, and that's plain to see for a lot of people. You may want to be cooler than those people, but you ignore wisdom at your own peril.

Care to expand on why exactly is he wise ? Seems to me like expertise in composture and being well read are the only things he presents.

He's well-read, yes, but he also manages to integrate that knowledge in a way that's useful for howto lead a good life. He shatters illusions without breaking down Chesterton's fence, and that's more than could be said for most rationalists (who sometimes do the former, but often fail when it comes to the latter).

Anyway, this isn't a point I really want to argue, I think it's *apparent*, and you can choose to ignore it, or perhaps you don't see it. Many do see it though, and some of those people will be less intellectually hip than what some anonymous rats might be comfortable with, and hence, will distance themselves from JBP for that reason alone, memeing themselves out of actually useful insights.

The insights are all trivial, he only comes across as exceptional because of low standards.

Breaking down Chesterton's fences is a hilarious rationalist "pathology" that sometimes pay off, most people understand and follow the principles.

That it's not impressive to see someone respecting chesterton's fences, the one eyed-man is king etc.
