Gonna repost this one because It's one of Robert's most interesting fallacies.
It is one thing to update you way of thinking given new information, perspectives, etc.
it is another to lack any sort of principles, and you agree with new ideas solely on the merits of who is saying it, and to which social caste they belong.
If right people said that babies can decide gender by just the way they blink, Robert would be just behind them sayin science will prove them right and these babies should get their hormones treatment right away, and if you don't agree... well, guess who is a nazi?
And its easy for Robert to act like that because he has no skin in this game, he can agree with whatever people say as long as he get to be on top of this stupid social game, no matter how ludicrous shit gets, because he doesn't have to live any of it.
There is no easier thing to be the most progressive, open minded person on all issues, be trans, immigration, you name it, when one doesn't have to live with the consequences of such policies. When all you do is sit on your apartment tweeting, and occasionally going to the theater or your Brother's, then it is pretty easy to just say the things you belive (sorry, "think") that are righteous, withou any real self criticism exercise.
And that's because the only principle I see Robert living by is "I'm better and smarter than most".
