There are dragons everywhere for those with eyes to see. (xcancel.com)

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 need to find a way to contact peterson-sus , I need to to teach him about Prolog or Datalog, I wanna see what kind of new ontologies he can cook up

Any suggestions for alternative systems? I fear his benzo and raw meat addled yet genius brain may not be able to handle this monumental task purely with text. We need categories here people, lots and lots of categories!!!! Pictures would be nice too!!!!!
