TJump believes Jews could exist without Judaism which he says is like spears


1:00  I explain Secular Koranism.

​Objective is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions.

8:00  TJump: "All ideas are subjective."

8:08

​For it to be objective it has to exist without humans

9:00  CK: "To be objective is to be impartial."

10:00  TJump: "Your intentionality is subjective."

CK:  If all concepts are subjective, is the concept of being objective also subjective?
 
TJump falsely accuses me of equivocation fallacy.

12:00  Ontology

My killer point which was lost on TJump:

Isn't his concept of objective morality also subjective?

Why did TJump mention "supernatural things"?

13:00  Epistemology

14:00  TJump's objective morality

14:00  "All beliefs are subjective" apart from God's.

​We have a concept of gravity, that does not mean that gravity is subjective. However, our concept of gravity would be subjective.

16:00  My definition of objective morality 

TJump claims his objective morality is a law of physics.

17:00  The law is for practical purposes, objective morality for atheists who agree with that law. The law is also objective morality for theists who agree with that law. The law of the US is objectively the law of the US if it is in force, even if some Americans do not agree with it and even if it is not in practice enforced equally or fairly. 

I am again accused of "equivocation fallacy".

18:00  TJump insists that his use of objective is correct while mine is not. 

19:00  Public morality is the law of the land, but TJump says this is subjective. 

20:00  TJump says all laws are subjective. 

21:00  Morality

22:00  TJump refuses to explain how the law of physics is relevant to morality.

23:00  If God exists, objective morality exists. TJump denies this.

24:00  If God exists, whatever He says goes. TJump contradicts me. 

So I ask again if God's view of things is just another opinion, in the opinion of TJump and he refers to Euthyphro's false dilemma.

26:00  I point out that the Abrahamic God is supposed to be perfectly moral. 

28:46

​for the sake of progress, does it matter if morality is objective or not? what difference does it make??

34:00  If the perfectly Abrahamic God exists, His view of morality would be supreme. 

35:00  How exactly has TJump won?

TJump's says God's opinion is subjective. 

36:00  God's nature

Is TJump really 6' 2"?

37:00  If the perfectly moral Abrahamic God exists, then He would be the supreme authority on morality. 

38:00  The false dilemma of Euthyphro

Hamlet: "There is nothing good or evil, only thinking makes it so."

40:00  TJump points out God is immoral for drowning babies.

​Tom is now arguing himself now

41:00  I explain the bargain with God.

42:00  Bears killing children

43:00  TJump rejects the Noahide laws because God allowed the bears to kill the children who mocked the prophet Elisha.

Someone has to define what being Jewish means. 

1:05:00  TJump does not seem to understand that in order for the next generation of Jews to be produced, their parents have to be Jewish. For Jews to remain in existence, they have to practise Judaism.

Religion is like spears. [sic]

1:22:00  TJump cannot seem to understand that all successful religions allow the achievements of previous generations to be built on. Failing religions are ones which use up resources rather than build on them.

​Zoroastrianism is the oldest continuous religion

1:27:00  I reject his suggestion that moral systems are like spears and guns because moral systems are ideas. Moral systems should be judged by how effective they are at keeping the group in existence and apart from others, while spears and guns are weapons which should be judged by how effective they are as weapons.

  1. I watched you on Tjump and I was not happy with the way he was conversing with you. All he did was waffle about a gun �� is better than a spear �� and was constantly trying to gaslight you, from start to finish.

    I saw Tjump debating with Saboor, and all Tjump was doing is drinking Pepsi burping and pulling funny faces when Saboor had him on his back foot. And somehow Tjump’s fans think he won the debate. It's obvious why they believe that.

    I did find one reasonable person on the comments saying you don't have to agree with her, but you don't need to keep calling her a dumbass, and called him a jerk for his behaviour. Lol

    People ain't decent or respectful anymore. Nowadays, their idea of debating is to throw personal comments and insults to trigger the other party. And they believe if they trigger your opposition, then you've won the argument. You can't get anywhere productive with someone who has a mindset like that.

    From my observation, all I saw was he spent the first 30/40 minutes dragging on about what is objective and subjective. Then the rest of the stream he wouldn't let you speak, and whenever you tried, he would constantly bully you that he would mute you. Also, he was trying to manipulate you throughout the whole stream thinking he would make you look stupid to his audience. And the rest was just him continuously drinking and burping like an imbecile. The way he kept saying shut up or I'll mute you like you're a little child was very irritating.

  2. Claire obviously was confused a bit on the definition of objective in the context that it was being used here. However, I just don't understand why TJump has to be an asshole to people like he does. I actually am persuaded that Tom is severely deluded and thinks that his antics somehow make him look good. The unjustified threats of muting, and the talking so confidently and dogmatically(more so than most religious people I've met), and the way he goes about doing so is just repulsive to me and I suspect many others feel the same way. I mean, Tom talks about religious people being dogmatic about their views and then turns around and acts like a complete bafoon telling people that he's 100% right and that his interlocutor is just silly and don't know what they are talking about and just keeps claiming that he's right ad nauseum while falsely claiming that everyone else is on his side and everyone else knows these things and that it's only religious people who haven't figured it out yet and maybe one day they will get it. It's the mentality where he thinks it's okay to just pat his interlocutor on the head and tell them how stupid they are, how smart he is, and how he's right and everyone else is wrong and that there's nothing his interlocutor can do to be right because Tom is declaring it so. It's just so baffling to me why he does this. It reminds me of Darth Dawkins and how he likes to shut down debate by calling everyone he dabtes, either stupid, dishonest, ignorant, or some other thing that makes him feel better about himself. I know Tom is depressed, but that's not a reason to treat people badly, and there's plenty of people who Tom actually has an intelligent, non-beligerent conversation with. And it's usually the named philosophers. But why can't Tom have the same human decency with the regular people he debates as he does with the highly regarded philosophers? Seems like he doesn't want to look bad with these philosophers so he is polite, but why not be polite to the regular folks? Does he think it's somehow not making him look utterly ridiculous to theists and atheists alike? This is also why I don't watch all of Tom's content anymore as well. I typically watch the ones with the pop philosophers and certain people that I like who Tom happens to be debating, but I don't watch them all anymore because I can't stand the stench of arrogance that radiates from Tom when he starts acting like his opponent pissed in his corn flakes that morning. I would imagine Tom's channel would have taken off and been much more successful if he was the serious philosopher that he claimed to be. At this point with all of his dogmatism he's just become a joke of a philosopher and more of a new atheist popularizer. I think his whole philosophy of being controversial and in your face backfired pretty hard on him. Don't get me wrong he's a smart guy with some very good ideas, but his debating style and behavior toward others dwarfs any intelligence he has to such a degree that people don't like watching certain of his videos. I'm sure some do, but for the people who are interested in intense, rigorous, and serious philosophy, many of the debates are just awful to watch.

    TJ: "... you're just a dumbass!"
    Claire: "Ok, so, so you're saying... neanderthals were secular."

    This is pretty much a summary of how the conversation went.

  4. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

  5. What do words even mean anymore?! This was painful to watch... a new level of Dunning Kruger was discovered over the course of this conversation...
