This was originally titled: 1 Christian v 20 Atheists, but it seems they changed it after JP keeps muddying the waters.
Update: I get why most of you wouldn’t want to watch the video. I went to a men’s group therapy session and went after the organizer for recommending me a Jordan Peterson book. I get it. The video, however, isn’t a Jordan Peterson channel (yes I know we’re still bumping him in the algorithm) but I think it fit the community for sure.
I just don’t get why you would comment: “I’m not watching that.” Congrats dude. I know it’s for you, not every video is. There is some value in seeing Peterson get dunked on and seeing the way he weasels out of things and getting called out. If you think it’s not worth the cost of watching the video. I’m not going to disagree with that. That’s cool too. We can all be cool about things.

Is that something like Piper Perri Vs 5 Black Guys?
Maybe, @hOrni@lemmy.world
Platforming this shitstain only serves his purpose.
Couldn’t be less interested
Yeah, I’m not going to watch that. If it was reversed and it was, say, Christopher Hitchens vs 20 christians, I’d be irritated, saying, “If he was wrong, one person would be enough. Why not just have one person who is knowledgeable and a good debater, rather than 20 who aren’t?”
In an intellectual debate, a larger number of people debating only matters if they are good debaters and are working closely together.
This format might be good if you know the 20 people are wrong, for example, “One scientist vs 20 anti-vaxxers”, because it would become one expert exposing 20 lunatics. But for a religious debate, where you cannot prove either side, this is a terrible format.
Dr Mike did an episode with anti vaxxers actually. That is about how it went, but he’s too kind to go for the dunks.
There was 1 atheist vs 20 Christians, I can’t remember the lads name but I thought he did great. What’s funny is how many Christians disagree on their interpretations with one another.
They have done formats such as: leftist, liberal, conservative and MAGA supporter as well.
I don’t think these types of debates (especially this format) change minds? However, I’m slowly dipping in and out to listen to those who disagree with him. Sadly people like Peterson are charlatans so there’s no point as he’s paid not to agree and there’s nothing to learn.
1 atheist vs 20 Christians
Alex O’Connor is who you’re thinking of
Word soup and distraction from Peterson and never a straight answer, a narcissistic person who must always be right.
I’m only interested in this if those 20 people run a tasteful train on him. Might fix his brain since it’s located up his ass.
They do run a metaphorical train on him, there’s a reason the video title changed from 1 Christian vs 20 Atheists
“Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ~ Mark Twain
I feel as though Jordan Peterson got outplayed a lot here and his dodging of questions and stuff exposed his charlatanism (word?). So I don’t think he beat them.
I do love the quote. Although I also love the wrestling with the pig one, where you both get muddy but the pig enjoys it :)
[edit] thanks for more downvotes! [/edit]
Jubilee definitely tried to stack the deck so that JP could “win” this debate. (which is usually why I avoid these kinds of debates. They’re almost never in good faith.)
But they’re going to take the good sound bites and make it look like atheists are bad and he’s going to keep pushing his white supremacist bullshit.
For people not wanting to give JP/Jubillee clicks… Mindshift has a reaction video where you can see the giant shit show bit by bit.
Does he not consider himself a Christian? This is a genuine question. I try to ignore JP generally.
I’ve listened to JPs early stuff and thought he had some good points back then. Then he went down a strange path and I didn’t follow his stuff.
I’ve heard him talk about Christian values and defends them a lot and how they’re superior and stuff especially with the 1 man 1 woman stuff. The problem is that he’s not being up front about it. He argues about the word: “belief” here rather than answer if he believes in God. Like, that’s just the worst.
JP is a snake and if you can’t stand him, don’t watch this because it’ll do you no good. Even when he gets dunked on it’s likely not satisfying enough to overcome his repellent nature.
