Holy fuck this is straight up cult shit. >Suggesting that people actually try to meet with people who have opposing viewpoints and get to understand them >"OMG!!! It's a cult!!!" WhiskeyDisk posted... i don't see anything wrong with Adam Carolla's vids... Personally, I'm not a fan of his comedy. As for the videos you selected, I'd probably criticize him for oversimplifying while trying to drive his points home (that and some of his jokes falling flat). The messages themselves are all sound: Work hard, you're accountable to yourself, try to change your circumstances instead of just complaining about them, etc. HornedLion posted... Now facts dont need to be sold. Except they absolutely do, considering that facts fight for relevance with other facts, they can be distorted by narratives, and we live in a feelings-based society. HornedLion posted... And I dont see anyone with any critical thinking skills buying into it. KBE talking about critical thinking skills is hilarious. That's not even touching the irony that he's arguing AGAINST meeting people who have opposing viewpoints to try to understand things, aka encouraging the OPPOSITE of critical thought. HornedLion posted... Psychologist, you say? Truly smart and successful people DONT go to college. Whats my source? WELL, PRAGERU, BABY! ...and after a minute of actually watching the video, I discovered you clearly didn't. Although, I suppose, that's hardly a surprise given your character (or lack thereof). His argument was that you can succeed without going to college and that college itself isn't a guarantee of success. And if there was any doubt, he spells it out at the end: "While college is useful for some people, it's by no means necessary for all. And it's hardly essential for economic success." Honestly, it's a fucking five minute video. You could have taken time from your trolling to actually watch it instead of posting it and hoping that nobody would actually watch it and realize that it says the opposite. This is Erik-level shit, KBE. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:944907782] in PragerU is...
