Yeah, seriously. He became a free speech martyr and rode that to stardom, but there just isn't that much to him.

I'm glad he used his alt-platform to re-introduce people to Enlightenment values, glad he is an articulate defender of intellectual honesty. That's commendable and all, but that should be the minimum for being a public intellectual. What he brings to the table beyond that is bland Christian moralism. He's no Christopher Hitchens.

The fact that he is seen as a radical—by both his detractors and supporters—is a sad comment on the current intellectual atmosphere.
 
Well that's pretty friggin obvious.

I would like to add that having children does not guarantee growing up either.  Caveat is that this opinion does not put a judgment on growing up as a goal or as a pejorative.

This is the kind of hyperbole is what keeps people from taking him seriously. He has interesting/relevant/true things to say and brackets them with sanctimonious nonsense like this.

“If you are happy as a human then so be it. But be warned — just as we humans split from chimpanzees years ago, so cyborgs will split from humans. Those who remain human will likely become a subspecies. They will, effectively, be the chimpanzees of the future”

Not to mention it is the height of narcissism and self importance.  Sounds like something Jordan Peterson ie Hitler would say.  I always suspected you were a closet Nazi.
