So first it was a lie and now it's a red herring, good stuff. I posted a fact, move on from it.

The use of the word "any" means there's all the variance in the world. From someone looking at you funny to kiddy-rape as you mentioned.

From the Queen's English:

Any
- 1usually with negative or in questions Used to refer to one or some of a thing or number of things, no matter how much or how many.


The word "any" is being used as an all inclusive absolute. As in no matter what the cause, the response is the same "not fighting". I'm not saying there's no difference in potential provocations, I'm saying there's no difference in the implied response to the provocation.

The students didn’t find it provocative, it was a civil conversation and nobody complained.

The complaint was made up by the professors.

Hah.

One conspiracy theory is as good as another, I guess. The thing about mine, is she has opportunity (The Peterson vs preferred language from a heavily protected group.), and motive (Youtube stars can make a LOT of money. ESPECIALLY if they're attractive, like PewDiePie.)

All things being equal, I wouldn't suggest this theory. If not for the string of Youtube shows and the obscene profits from the bigger stars.

Correct. The lie would be the claim that CDTM didn't read the article; when he "skimmed" it. The Red Herring is you waving "but I meant the videos!" after the fact over in the corner to distract away from the first. Hope that clears things up.

Is it upsetting to you Rob that, as I've said a dozen times, I'm not a Trump supporter and yet still disagree with you and your shitty views?

I know the left likes to ignore facts to further the narrative that they want but seriously, how many times has it been now?

I shouldn't expect anything different from someone who jumps at his own shadow, I guess.

I find it funny that it took less than two years for you to go from being an open Trumper to a closet Trumper.

ps Read the article next time before commenting, or at the least least skim it to get an idea. Not just the title.

You have the brain of an 80 year old Alzheimer's patient or are just so biased and dumb that you have tricked your brain into believing shit that never happened.

Jordan Peterson is dangerous but Antifa is nothing but peaceful, right old boy?

Keep flipping. IMO, they'll be more and more just like you in the coming year.

That's just something you're making up on the spot and are applying to me. Like a strawman argument.

Not very.

I'm pretty fond of JBP. He's highly intelligent and consistently misrepresented by the media and his critics, though he does indeed occasionally say some truly bizarre shit (cf. his diet, his 30-day sleepless binge, one or two hallucinogenic dreams, etc.).

30 days is impossible.

Obviously. The body would pull him under, unless he was on drugs. In which case he'd be dead.

I was on the edge myself, from a bad reaction . From 200 lbs to around 150, from one week of fasting, and one week of insomnia. It was hell, and took several months to recover from. A week of that shit? Forgetaboutit.

When he said 30 days of no sleep, he didn’t mean literally 30 days of no sleep. He meant 30 days of poor, interrupted, not well-rested sleep.

Common, you’re all adults here. You shouldn’t have to be told this. After 9 days of no skeep, you start going figuratively, and probably literally (From what I remember of 12 Brain rules for Life) psychotic.

I never went psychotic.

You'd be surprised how much the brain can take.

Or maybe you’ve been psychotic all along and couldn’t tell the difference.

😖hifty:

Those voices are just my inner thoughts.

That's what I keep telling myself. Everyone hears them.

Yeah as long as you're getting SOME sleep, your brain can hold out for quite a while even in a deteriorating state. When my first kid was born, he had the worst case of colic the nurses had ever seen, and it lasted way longer than normal. Because of this(or because of his autism) he never developed a regular sleep schedule(he literally never slept for more than an hour at a time) and my bipolar wife had severe post postpartum so I was always the one who had to deal with him. Long story short, I never got more than 4 hours of sleep in a single day/night, and it was always in the form of 30-45 minute naps for a solid 4 years strait until we finally found a psychologist who told us about the possibility of giving him melatonin which finally made him sleep through the night. By then I was totally wreck as far as anxiety, paranoia, depression go(all of which I'd suffered from before, but they got a LOT worse) and a real ******* to be around, but I was still able to function enough to work and such. Don't get me wrong because I wasn't a GOOD worker, but I was able to barely skate by. TBH though, I still have fairly intense issues with anxiety, paranoia, and depression and still have pretty big sleep issues myself though, so it's very possible that the 4 solid years of sleep deprivation f*cked me up permanently.

Extended bouts of sleep deprivation and lack of sleep can cause lasting brain damage. Technically, every minute you're awake, you are causing brain damage. Sleep is the way the brain repairs itself.

Sleep even regulates testosterone for men. A guy who sleeps regularly 8 hours vs. a guy who sleeps 6 hours? The former will have noticeably greater testosterone in 10 years.

The bad Science in the posts here are hilarious, a bit like much of Jordan's shit.

Don't be made when I suggest this...

But have you heard of that sleep aid called melatonin? peaches

If you're not trying it, try it. But one thing I see done wrong all the time is people don't meditate or try to sleep within 30 minutes of taking the sleep aid.

I never claimed he didn't read the article. You're lying about that now. His not watching the videos was brought up by me before you even opened your mouth. Do better, I'd suggest moving on.
