Author Topic: Stefbot: The Case Against Spanking  (Read 493 times)

What I learned in this video is that Stef needs to stick to ethical arguments, what I was able to watch of the video before I turned it off was stats (If it aint double blind, it's a lie, and even if it is so?) unsubstantiated assertions and utter nonsense.

I'm not going to say he's wrong. I am going to say I'm not convinced and the fail of the video made gave me a headache.

To be clear my issues are methodological.

I think he makes a great case against spanking. He converted me on that one. But when he talks about statistics I think he does his argument an injustice.

I found his ethical arguments far more convincing than statistics. I find the methodology of psychology to be really silly.

 I haven't watched any of Stef's videos on spanking or child rearing. Since I'm not a parent, I don't feel like they apply to me.

I'm not a parent either, nor do I ever plan to be, but it's great food for the intellect.

I'm not a parent either, but I think the implications are important.

 Speaking of becoming parents, didn't Stef make a video regarding the morality of bringing children into this world? I can understand people's aversion to doing so. Not are we fucked, we're going to get into a much more painful world of fuck in the coming months. God knows what will happen by the end of the year.

So much for the reproduction of anarchists method.

I'm curious what your reason is for not wanting to have kids?

It's a really long list.
