All right. Hi, everybody. This is Stefan Mollinu from Freedomain of Freedomain.com, and we're going to

check in to an almost perfectly encapsulated Patrick Bateman style of sophistry. We're going to go through

this piece by piece to show you how philosophy is absolutely necessary to defend you

against this kind of corruption. All right. I'm not convinced by the principle that you need to

cease all correspondence with or friendship with someone convicted of a crowd. Okay, so I'm not

convinced. I don't know why his eyes are going in different directions, but that's neither here or there. So he says, I'm not convinced. I don't know why his eyes are going in different directions,

but that's neither here nor there. So he says, I'm not convinced by the principle,

and it's a sort of droll, dead-eyed voice that is sort of taken on with this kind of stuff.

So let's just do this first sentence.

I'm not convinced by the principle.

Okay, so whether someone is convinced or not is irrelevant,

absolutely irrelevant to a moral principle.

So whether you're convinced,

I'm not convinced by the proposition that two and two make four.

I'm not convinced by the opposite angle theorem or the triangle inequality relation in.

I'm not,

so when you start with I'm,

I'm like, who are you, the standard of truth?

You're the standard of reality or the standard of fact.

Who would care at all whether you are or not convinced?

So when somebody starts with I, this is pure narcissism to me, right?

It's just my amateur opinion.
