Thank you for sharing this video. I listened to your conversation with Luke Rudkowski as well. I can't overstate how much I respect you for having a conversation with him. I'm still ecstatic. Thank you.
If I may quote a skinny Old Wise Ass from Minnesota
" Well in in Minnesota Gov Tim Walz has taken care of that little problem...by shutting down All Bars & Restaurants. The question is, 1. How long will this ban be in place 2. how many bars and restaurants will go under? All because of 14 cases (out of a population of 5.6 Million)
Let me see if I understand this (not being all that bright I..Could..Be..Wrong) The media pushes the Panic Button in order to get Ratings/Clicks. A certain number of people go (for lack of a better word) Insane. Politicians in response to the Media and the Insane, react by shutting down large parts of society/the economy...(249 people in a group, you're safe, 251 Everyone dies. If you want a drink or dinner out...You're gonna die.).
Then to (try) a solve the problem they created by panicking and reacting to the insanity they say they are going to Give me $1,000.
Where we might reasonably ask will they get this money? Why from the magical money tree of course!
Now I'm gonna go hide in my closet in case the Covid-19 (or maybe Covid-20!) comes marching down my street, slaughtering everyone in sight. "
The YouTube link is no good... apparently it violated YT's terms of service-probably the clause about "no free or open debates about relevant topics". You know this isn't allowed Peter... yet you continue to do it!
For sure, I'm struggling with forgiveness myself with regards to the CoVid issue. I don't necessarily agree with many of the people in the above FLCC street epistemology. But I was against many of the measures.
I remember previously you mentioned that you hadn't felt like discussing the CoVid issue because you hadn't put thought into it deeply. However, suddenly you're at the FLCC event. I would love to know where you were in March 2020 versus today and how you got here.
I've often heard you ask participants what it would take for them to move to a different stance. Responses indicate how much the participants understand the topic. A flexible thinker who is also informed about the topic will be able to give examples of new data or of better interpretations that would result in a change in stance. Rigid (absolutist) thinkers ("Zero help".) will find it hard to give an example of what might change their stance and may even say that there is nothing that will change it. If asked for opinions about the reliability of specific kinds of data or its interpretation, many will defer to what their authorities say. For this topic, a couple questions might be asked about the methods used in vaccine research and ways vaccine effectiveness is evaluated.
Bob Altemeyer has done important work on authoritarian-ideological, either/or thinkers. You are likely familiar with his DOG Scale. (Perhaps questions from the dogmatism questionnaire can be modified for your various topics.) And Leor Zmigrod has made interesting studies of personality differences between rigid and flexible thinkers that I find fascinating. Perhaps questions from the quizzes that indicate whether one is a good critical thinker would be useful. Thanks for asking. Let me know if you are interested in more suggestions.
Removed from YouTube already! Well done!
All I can say is...

That’s how censorship rolls. Don’t agree with an opinion, shut it down, ban it and ridicule the messenger and then prosecute if all else fails
Youtube V I O L A T I O N!
Bad Peter! Bad Bad Peter!
I am both bad and a victim!
hahaha

I really appreciate that. Thank you. The Rumble conversation was really good, I think.

Amazing. Truly, just amazing.

I am a bad boy!
Peter -- can you repost this on Rumble please.
You got zotted on You Tube.
All of our videos are on Rumble!
a very interesting take on the topic by well informed participants.
It's very interesting to see you're appearing at these conferences. Definitely curious about what your take aways have been.
I should do a post about that. I mentioned some of my responses in my video, here:

I listened on Rumble. Very sad. I wish you had asked one or two questions on another topic to test the participants' abilities to think flexibly.
Like what questions?
Hello Peter,
I've often heard you ask participants what it would take for them to move to a different stance. Responses indicate how much the participants understand the topic. A flexible thinker who is also informed about the topic will be able to give examples of new data or of better interpretations that would result in a change in stance. Rigid (absolutist) thinkers ("Zero help".) will find it hard to give an example of what might change their stance and may even say that there is nothing that will change it. If asked for opinions about the reliability of specific kinds of data or its interpretation, many will defer to what their authorities say.
