(@[510991678:2048:Stefan Molyneux] )Steve SlonkyDid you get any engagement at all?Jan 22, 2019, 1:37 PMCurt Doolittlehe knows who I am. but no.Jan 22, 2019, 1:37 PMRosenborg PredmetskyFor someone who has often pontificated accurately on the IYI, he is certainly acting like one by blocking people he disagrees withJan 22, 2019, 1:40 PMVengefül BobmoranLooking at his recent tweets.

He’s going full Semite.

Never go full Semite.Jan 22, 2019, 1:50 PMMichael D HaasHe blocked me years ago. Over one of his posts and my responses about man made climate change ironically. He doesn’t tolerate opposing views.Jan 22, 2019, 2:02 PMRadu M OleniucHe blocked me too.. 🙂

I guess he didn’t appreciate the fact I blew his metrics in pieces when I used the Gulag example, where every single intellectual having some honesty and integrity was deported exactly for their merits and high IQ. These things are seen as a threat in any totalitarian / collectivist culture where force, not reason, is the only argument that counts.Jan 22, 2019, 2:11 PMRadu M OleniucJan 22, 2019, 2:37 PMRadu M OleniucJan 22, 2019, 2:38 PMRadu M OleniucJan 22, 2019, 2:38 PMSingular SpeechSteve Slonky There’s an old Curtpost that Taleb liked and there was this guy which Taleb followed on twitter who used to post here, so he is aware of Curt.Jan 22, 2019, 2:49 PMSteve PenderI can’t imagine the sort of stunted mind who would block you. I remember the very first instance I saw your content, and it was on a Stephen Kinsella post I believe. Usually when people write a lot, it’s mostly junk because there seems to be an inverse relation between quantity and quality, but I realized I couldn’t find any error so rather than dismissing your long content as junk, I realized I needed to read more.Jan 22, 2019, 3:07 PMJaromír MiškovskýIs it Jefferson Pepe? Or Frenklin Pepe?Jan 22, 2019, 3:10 PMRadu M OleniucCartesian (Descartes) Wojak on Twitter. Plus Founding Fathers Pepe (Jefferson on FB), of course.Jan 22, 2019, 3:11 PMRadu M OleniucJan 22, 2019, 3:13 PMCurt DoolittleRadu M Oleniuc You are making a wonderful argument really. It’s unfortunate that twitter favors his idiocy and not your reason.Jan 22, 2019, 3:18 PMRadu M OleniucHe could not stand the pressure. :DJan 22, 2019, 3:25 PMRadu M OleniucKinsella blocked me as well. 4 years ago, I think it was a debate about intellectual property rights, if I remember well.Jan 22, 2019, 3:58 PMJaromír MiškovskýAbrahmic obsetion with bread Is amazing Insight. Well old food pyramid favours cereals…Jan 22, 2019, 4:21 PMJames Holidaydamn he has devolved into a little bitch who cant take contrary opinionsJan 22, 2019, 4:22 PMRadu M OleniucBread is basically sugar, complex polysaccharides with long chains of starch. The insulin response is the same. But at the same time, you get mycotoxins, fungus affecting cereals and so on. In the Roman Empire, the whole wheat was eaten only by the slaves.Jan 22, 2019, 4:26 PMPaul BardJan 22, 2019, 5:16 PMJaromír MiškovskýYes go.. fellow European eat bread! No protein. Meat Is bad.

*Hand tuning*Jan 22, 2019, 5:23 PMCurt Doolittleum. He blocks 100% of the people who fight with him.Jan 22, 2019, 5:26 PMPaul BardCurt Doolittle that’s clear from the way the remaining commenters suck up to him.Jan 22, 2019, 5:29 PMNikola Dzhilvidzhievhttps://bloodyshovel.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/nassim-taleb-is-retarded/

He was a useful ally in the fight against antinomian forces. Regrettably, he now prefers to be in their good graces.

Either that, or those pesky ME genes reasserting themselves and he’s kissing up to the prevailing orthodoxy.Jan 22, 2019, 5:31 PMJoJo OlGold starJan 22, 2019, 6:20 PMRosenborg PredmetskyThe concept of blocking someone because of disagreement is totally foreign to my mentality. Sometimes I get bored with an argument and stop responding, but never block.

He needs to stop acting like a womanJan 22, 2019, 6:33 PMRosenborg PredmetskyI’m starting to notice a pattern here… ;pJan 22, 2019, 6:33 PMBenjamin Wood.01% of all living humansJan 22, 2019, 7:42 PMZach MattoBlocking on the web because of an argument is the equivalent of plugging your ears and going “lalala”. That’s the white flag.Jan 22, 2019, 8:01 PMTrevor ValescuA new level of triggering achieved. Well done sir.Jan 22, 2019, 8:28 PMJohn ReevesSix years ago Taleb called me “you fucking idiot” because I was winning a Twitter debate with him and I put that on my resume. The bank manager I was interviewing with thought it was great and I was hired.Jan 22, 2019, 8:34 PMSteve PenderJohn Reeves screenshot? I’d like to see what the argument wasJan 22, 2019, 8:36 PMJohn ReevesSteve Pender it was back when I was an autistic anarcho capitalist, but I still stand by my argument today. Basically he was saying it’s a terrible idea to allow private individuals to own fresh water reservoirs. I was arguing that they’ll set the price of water to a level that maximizes their profit, and that level will be far below what would cause water shortages (because conservation kicks in at a certain point, and people can recycle water themselves).Jan 22, 2019, 8:40 PMJohn ReevesI wish I had the screenshots but I don’t. I might be able to find it if I searched enough.Jan 22, 2019, 8:40 PMArt RoddamSteve I didn’t realize you and Stephe were FB friends.Jan 22, 2019, 10:19 PMSteve PenderArt Roddam I don’t follow his stuff for years nowJan 22, 2019, 10:20 PMDO I GET A PRIZE FOR BEING BLOCKED BY TALEB?
