    TALKING TO THEM IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

    By John Mark

    The thing is, *it doesn’t matter* how good we get at pincer attacks on leftist “arguments”. It doesn’t matter if we are all JP-level debaters times 1000. *The left will never change just because we win a debate.* Midterm results show that although JP may help free some people from leftism, in the grand scheme it’s but a blip. There’s close to *zero* effect statistically from all our debating the left. *They don’t care* what we say. They want what they want, they carry out their instinctive strategy, period. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years. The few sincere truth-seekers who change their minds and join our side are not enough to turn the tide. They’re a lone ship drowning in a massive sea of instinctive leftists who will never change. Add in mass 3rd world immigration, and all our “gotcha” moments in conversations with leftists mean even less than they already do.

    TALKING TO THEM IS NOT THE SOLUTION.

    As eli so thoroughly demonstrates, we don’t prosecute you on your intentions alone, but on your failure to perform due diligence. This eliminates the ((())) model under which one can claim innocence of intent under conditions of creating moral hazard, which one then benefits from.

  • “I admire Peterson’s ability to articulate himself and handle the dishonest tact

    —“I admire Peterson’s ability to articulate himself and handle the dishonest tactics that are thrown at him by interviewers and debaters. But by the same turn my main annoyance with him, and others like him such as Moly is that they seem to think that being articulate is the best way or perhaps only way to confront dishonest tactics, and that they resort to the same tactics themselves as a means of doing so. Not everyone can articulate themselves that well, especially during a confrontation. I certainly can not do it, in fact I am often stunned speechless when people use sophistry against me. To live in a society where these tactics are the norm is a nightmare for me, and it would not matter how many men like Peterson stand up against it since they are still perpetuating the problem. I like his stance against regulation of speech, and I think it is important but it is only a stop gap measure.”—Jennifer Dean

    When I negotiate in a hostile environment I take the position of holding the moral high ground and ‘stay on message’ creating evidence of a narrative of holding the moral high ground. Most of the time we are punished or sued for honest errors, and get away with our most dishonest and immoral plans. The secret of legal success is holding the moral high ground and betting that the jury will side with you for doing so. I usually go all in and risk the jury. When my peers (board) disagree with me, they lose. Always. I never do a deal where I think I might get sued where I can’t construct a narrative of holding the moral high ground. And the secret is … largely, because you always try to actually do so. its simply the optimum business strategy. There will always be people who think your errors are plans, and don’t see the immoral plans you either did or didn’t take. But build a reputation for never surrendering, favoring litigation, and holding the high ground and it works.

    When I want to “kill”a company (cause it to collapse) I try to recruit people with grudge, or at least make relationships with people in the company who have a grudge. Every company does something or other totally innocently that is illegal. Then I construct a narrative of intent, and spread it. Then I get insiders to conduct a lawsuit. I have done this a half dozen times. Why? People are selfish and proud and easily provoked to revenge, even at high cost.
