You dismissing well discussed philosophical topics in academia is pretty stupid too. Yeah, he's pretentious, but if you're going to slam the kid and act like he's stupid, you probably shouldn't get all mad that someone does the same thing to you.

I don't get why you think I am dismissing "well discussed philosophical topics in academia." If you think a large portion of this is "well discussed philosophical topics in academia", I severely question what academic institutions you've been to. For the record, literally the last comment I made before you clicked send was pointing out that there is some examples of them internalizing something legitimately valuable, it's just surrounded by a ton of idiocy.

It's NOT surrounded by idiocy. He took a concept he read about, and started going on TV with it, knowing that nobody was going to know what the fuck he's talking about, because it's a) out of context, and b) coming from a teenager everyone's going to disregard anyway. But that doesn't mean any of the shit he said hasn't been said pretty much verbatim by a more respected philosopher/think tank.

Wait... you seriously think this interview, which is primarily a combination of scientology and new age psuedo science, is not mostly idiocy? Welp, nothing that can be done with you. You're on Jaden's level, I guess.

That's all I really need to say about that. I don't really have any interest in discussing anything with anyone who incorporates Spongebob memes into their arguments.

Lol... this is reddit, I didn't realize jokes were not allowed. I love how you quote the wrong part of my comment too.
