9thdoctor Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 BEST FEELGOOD STORYLindsay Perigo has a TV show (can't imagine what it's called) and it's KASS and everybody loves it. Oh my, I just started it, my immediate thought was how much his delivery reminds me of Richard Dawkins, in spite of the different accent. I don't think I'm going to be able to get through this, though. He comes across as such an arrogant pedant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm going to be able to get through this, though. He comes across as such an arrogant pedant. I couldn't pay attention either, because I never saw or heard him before and his writings made me expect an entirely different accent - he sounds like a 1950s "received pronunciation" BBC wannabe. I lost the thread when he talked about somebody's "hatequarters" (maybe that was deliberate, tho I don't think so, he looked too nervous)- I can't remember anything he actually said. I gave up when he started the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9thdoctor Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I lost the thread when he talked about somebody's "hatequarters" Don’t forget "goblinism". Ugh, he has his own lingo. And it sounds as bad as it reads.I skipped over the interview, it got boring within 15 seconds.The theme music at the beginning was from the Tchaikovsky 2nd symphony, subtitled the “Little Russian”. I think there’s a cheap joke buried in there but I’m not up for excavating it. Then comes Rachmaninov at the end, god how cheesy. At least they didn't include a shot of him doing a "value-swoon".Lastly, Christians didn’t kill Hypatia for heresy, she wasn’t a Christian, thus couldn’t be a heretic. Get a dictionary, Jabba. 4 minutes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I remember something! The failure to teach punctuation is child abuse. The apostrophe, the semicolon,child beating and starvation - what a daringly witty juxtaposition, he is indeed the most dangerous man in the South Pacific.

What a hoot. Especially because, since her excommunication, Comrade Sonia needs all the friends she can find. She says she doesn't have time to answer this (polite, reasonable) critique, but what does she do? Does she have a job?

kiaer.ts Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mindy is largely right. In so far as domesticated animals exhibit self-destructive behaviors, it is because dependence has been bred into them as a side effect of other desired behaviors.

If it weren't P. who you despise, you would notice some good things about the show, about the points he's making that need to be said, for example.Your objection is that people dare agree with one another?Perigo's piece was bad, mostly because it was boring, a very stereotypical Objectivist bromide rehash. If he's not going to say something new and topical he might as well just recite Philosophy, Who Needs It?That's not even to mention that he calls the podcast "PERIGO!" Not only all caps, but an exclamation mark AS WELL! Should have left off the PERI part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
