I would love to see Phil's version of "intellectual distance."
C.S. Lewis noticed this mentality and tactic over 70 years ago among the Philthies of his time, and named it "Bulverism".Thinking like this is the reason Academia is fucked and young adults are completely incapable of debating. You try to talk about facts and make points and they just shriek about whatever buzzwords they read on Tumblr that week.
As if the very concept of having a debate using real logic is "oppressive" and unfair. Phil really seems to think that because he feels very strongly about something, his opinion is just as, if not more valid than one built on actual reality.
