The way it is most contested currently is around gender and human nature more broadly.

In that respect he brings up Sally Haslanger and says she subscribes to critical realist viewpoint. Not everyone takes a critical realist viewpoint, but okay. He then goes on to dodge the subject entirely and talk about other areas.

Criticism of social constructionism in terms of human nature, for instance, is about the extent in which social constructionism is used to ignore biological influences on behaviour. This was what sparked Steven Pinker to write the Blank Slate. The full title of the book is 'The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature'. And it is not that Steven Pinker denies the role of nuture or social interaction in shaping reality to some degree, it is social constructionist thought has been used to undermine or ignore the role of biology in shaping behaviour and culture. In fact in fields like biology or neuroscience, etc, the whole nature/nurture debate is moot anyway because behaviour does not occur outside of the environment. All behaviour is a product of interaction with the environment. In other words, you cannot separate one from the other.

He also brings up the way it has been politicised. The way it is used for ideological reasons is certainly a problem.

I came across this channel after listening to a conversation between Michael Shermer and Derren Brown. Brown had a new book out at the time called Happy, and Shermer was talking to him about it. In the book Derren writes a lot about Stoic philosophy. This is something I thought was really interesting.

What I actually came across while looking for other Derren Brown interviews was the preview to these debates.


The original conversation with Michael Shermer and Derren Brown.

After Jefferies took down Peterson and his theories within 5 minutes of an interview.
Which of these 'intellectual' snake oil salesmen should he sit down with next?

Because of the past thread - of which I watched like one video - now all my youtube recommendations are 'Watch Prof. Jordan Peterson take down trans-gender professor in five minutes'.  Thanks etoilet.

That's part of the reason why I never engage on any of that stuff.

The other part being 99.9% of it being horse shit.

I actually have a soft spot for really clunky dead on the nose kind of allegory stuff but yeah, hearing or reading about David Cage and his wankery sucks the fun out of it for me.

Wait...Majid was arguing on the PRO-Islam side? The video was from 2015, so I'm guessing this was before he became part of the Skeptic/Intellectual Dork Web crowd?
