KICKED OUT OF MOLYNEUX’S GROUP.

Not exactly sure why other than saying he’s a great teacher, good analyst, but failed philosopher. And that he was a slow mover to the right.

Moderator says I should call in. Followers say it would be unfair to Moly to debate him unprepared. I agreed and said so. I said that it would take me most of an hour to walk him through enough context. And that it would be boring or tedious for the audience. And that if he was a bit prepared, then he could carry on the conversation while maintaining his audience. So AFAIK, I was doing the right thing.

Moderator says something along the lines of “if you’re so smart how come you’re not as successful?” Which I find strange because I’ve dominated in business, and I’m doing quite well in philosophy. But that said, I mean, how many philosophers of science or law have Moly’s audience (none), how many subscribers to the journal Science are there? (50k). I mean, does that mean that popularity determines truth content? Of course not. It’s usually the opposite, right?

Now, I don’t know who the moderator is (DiMarco maybe?) but he found all of this offensive and apparently booted me.

My ask was only that I would like to move Moly the rest of the way, but that it was unfair to do it by just calling in. As far as I know that’s just the moral thing to do.

So maybe I switch tactics and go after Moly’s “Therapy Cult” and just deal with it until he debates me.
