Obviously I’m not a fan of Dawkins. I haven’t read any of his work, but from the various clips and quotes of his I’ve seen over the years he strikes me as an incurious bigot with a blinkered worldview. But I have no reason to doubt that he is a smart man.
So it’s very funny to see him realize that he’s debating a genuinely delusional person, as Peterson makes some bizarre epistemological argument that dragons are literally real because we use the concept of predator as a shorthand for animals that kill other animals. Except Peterson seems to expand the definition of predator to “anything that can kill a person” when he argues that fire is a predator.
I can't stop watching this, it's incredible
A lion is an instantiation of an object in the category of dragon, the category of dragon is no less valid than the category of lion, IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR LEVEL OF ANALYSIS!!!!!!
This is real philosophy, shut the fuck up Cultural Marxist
