He seems to have almost no spiritual instincts. Very important.
My read was that he relies too much on logic and not enough on instincts. The way you put it is better.
This is the problem with the left way of thinking in general. When you translate thoughts into words, you lose a lot of information (like projecting from 3D to 2D). You then use logic on this 2D space, and extrapolate the outcome to the 3D thinking, giving you wrong result.
Instinct is something we all have that allows us to process huge amount of info in the thought space (3D) and come up with answers based on our past experience, and our spirituality.
This is also a big problem with AI. AI uses only logic and has no instincts and no spirituality whatsoever. Systems created by the people (like government, committees, etc) also suffer from the same thing. They all use logic but have no collective instinct.
"Vacationing in the land of TRYING TOO HARD" is an apt description of the fear drunk members of the covid vaxx truther cult. I enjoy how Scott intentionally trolls, triggers and reveals these cultists while recognizing Scotts limitations.
I tend to view each person I encounter as a buffet. Scotts buffet is one I enjoy despite eventually by passing many of his quirkier or down right god awful offerings.
At Scotts buffet there's usually enough yummy and provocative offerings to make my visits worthwhile. I'm also wired so that I enjoy figuring out why I reject certain items at his buffet. I gain alot of insight from such musings.
Echo chamber buffets that exclusively cater to my existing tastes without offering anything challenging or provocative bore me.. To each their own.
I personally enjoy Scotts dispassionate curiousity, intellectual playfulness and his willingness to share a bit of how his mind works. Most people are faaaar more guarded and blowback.
I'm amused by those who imagine that Scott is like them; focused on being "right" and fearful of "wrong" guesses.
As a Great Reset savvy person who chooses NOT to get jabbed, I'm also fascinated by how similar members of the two pandemic cults are. Cult Covidians and Cult Vaxx Truthers both strike me as FEAR controlled obsessives who demand rigid obedience to their cults dogma and react to questioners and/or disobedients by becoming " virtuous" ragers and haters. Heretic! Recant. Submit or die!

I really wish he was one of those who were not afraid to be "wrong". It would have been such a simple thing to say "Hey, I made the wrong choice." and leave it at that. I would have had immense respect for him if he did that.
Instead, he is trying so hard to say that even though he made the wrong choice, it was not his fault (which is fine, I accept that), BUT at the same time trying to prove that the people who did the opposite choice did it just like him, without proper reasoning.

I beg to differ regarding at least this community. Everyone of us is contantly evaluating all the information we come across to make sure we are doing the right thing. That constant need to re-evaluate is probably coming across as fear to you, but it is fear that we might be making the wrong choice for the wrong reasons.
For example, this constant fear of making the wrong choice has given me clarity about these vaccines. I used think in the beginning that these are death jabs that would kill everyone who did not get the placebo very quickly. Now I know that around 0.5% of the batches are highly toxic, around 20% batches cause moderate adverse events, and the rest are very harmless.
The moment we stop being afraid that we might be making the wrong choice, thats the moment we enter a dogmatic cult. The fact that very few if any here changed their mind after watching Trump on Candace tells you that we are not a cult.
"I believe the TV" is NOT an accurate representation of Scott at all.
Do you also believe, based on edited, out of context clips, that Trump said nazis and white supremicists were "fine people" or that he told people that "injecting bleach" would protect them from covid?
I’m not sure what you are arguing, to be honest. I find Scott to be a somewhat smug millionaire, and not as smart as he thinks he is. Granted, he is unapologetic, so he gets points for that.
No Scott. I am sure that waiting on data sets that haven’t been falsified, and letting most other people go first and seeing what happens to them is in fact WAY MORE RATIONAL than you, having no real risk, statistically, of death, and rushing out to get an unproven mRNA shot under an EUA.
That is a fact Scott. But it takes a real brave person, like Jordan Peterson, to say...I took it because I thought it would make my life easier, and I thought we could get back to normal, but I was wrong. I made a mistake. So man up Scott.
Exactly. I don't for a moment blame Scott or hold it against him for going with the flow. Almost all my family and friends have done the same (even though some of them now low key blame me for not being forceful enough in stopping them).
Just have the decency to accept you were wrong, and more importantly the once you made fun of were correct. Its the second part he is having problem with.
He is basically the toddler who says "I may be wrong, but you are still not correct. You just got lucky"
Yes exactly—last sentence spot on. It’s hard (esp when clever and wealthy) to recognize a huge blind spot or logical error in your thinking. Way easier to rationalize it as a coin flip you lost.
How fascinating. YOU imagine that you're in a position to judge whether Scott's personal decision was "wrong"?
As Scotts has said repeatedly, he doesn't have the distance of time or access to enough legit data, that only time can provide, to know whether his guess/decision was the " right" one for him.
If you have a time machine and can get him that future data now, please do so. Otherwise, please realize such comments suggest membership in one of the new uber dogmatic, self righteous, fear obsessed pandemic cults who demand rigid obedience to cult dogma and respond to everyone else as dangerously stupid heretics who must recant, submit or die.
Gimme a break. We all had access to same data and it doesnt take a rocket scientist to sit down and read the pfizer clinical study that was used to get the EUA. If I could read it, I am sure Scott could have read it. Reading just that one document is enough to get anyone to ask question “what the heck are they trying to pull ?” and the rest will come naturally. This is assuming you were too scared to listen to actual doctors in the field.
You keep saying cult, and I am curious which cult you belong to exactly. Everyone here has been wading through tons of data and studies to come up with a reasonable picture of whats going on.
Yes, we shouldnt have to wade through that data in a reasonable world, but once you realise you cannot trust the experts you have no other option than to do it yourself the best you can.
Scott is a very smart and insightful guy who is lacking two HUGE things about this war.

Dooood!!! That is SOOOO fucking DEEEEP!!!!
Scott is vacationing in the land of TRYING TOO HARD.

“I believe the TV” - FIFY Scott.

Cognitive dissonance at display
"CoGniTiVe diSsOnAnCe". Bumper sticker words. No explanation. So insightful. 😂
No Scott. I am sure that waiting on data sets that haven’t been falsified, and letting most other people go first and seeing what happens to them is in fact WAY MORE RATIONAL than you, having no real risk, statistically, of death, and rushing out to get an unproven mRNA shot under an EUA.

So, is he a triple vaxxed guy?

Does he have a new book coming out? He may be positioning to sell as much as he can by not taking the '40%' position.
Well put
