Criticism
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2021 8:38 am
This criticism of Bernardo´s work is interesting, maybe one day he can write a blog-post on it?
In the 10 months since this forum was created, BK has made a total of 5 posts, all of them a few months ago. So don't count on any prospect that he is likely to become actively engaged here. If he comes across the video critique at all, it might be because someone brings it directly to his attention, which you can try to do by sending him a PM. But even then, I doubt that he would bother with any kind of response to the critique. I brought some similar critique to his attention on his twitter account a few months ago, and he didn't acknowledge it at all.Mark Tetzner wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 12:52 pm I think this is the only criticicism of Bernardos work that really has some substance in some places, or not. By that I mean substance for a debate or blog-post to exchange ideas. I am not seeking for a war, but a replique by Bernardo, in case he feels the same on his blog. This forum is here so we can order stuff, right?
BK, I read you dont enage with the public anymore, we are still tryyyyying!!

Pretty much. I come here more or less exclusively for the purpose of learning from Cleric and Ashvin's posts, although my initial leaning was into hoping BK was a regular and could answer my questionsSoul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 1:46 pmIn the 10 months since this forum was created, BK has made a total of 5 posts, all of them a few months ago.

But let's not forget that his interviews are to just about anybody - as you say, even those with just a few followers. And he doesn't hold back at all- personal stuff included. That's democratic! There's nothing left to give. My beef would be with the interviewers, who mostly don't seem to have a powerful enough list of queries or nuanced points for elucidation.I doubt that he would bother with any kind of response to the critique.

no worries, Dana. I am pretty sure that he is reading the forum, but imagine Stephen king (bitsy higher scale than BK) would have to engage with everone personally, I can get that he doesnt, but if he feels a valuable piece of content would flow from it I am sure he will pick it up.Soul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 1:46 pmIn the 10 months since this forum was created, BK has made a total of 5 posts, all of them a few months ago.

True enough ... Who knows if Jeffrey Williams (Too Late for the Gods) has extended an invite to BK, whose approach to doing interviews would seem to be based on simply getting an invitation, with little regard as to how 'high profile' the interviewer may be, or numbers of potential viewers. Case in point, a chat with Jordan Peterson—which BK has said he would be open to— would garner a lot of attention, but as long as no invite is forthcoming from JP, Bernardo is not about to pursue it just for the sake of publicity. The most recent interview is with a guy who has about 30 YT subscribers, the full version only available to Patreon donators. Personally, I'm most eagerly awaiting the invite from Ashvin, albeit AP may first have to create a youtube channelBen Iscatus wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 2:27 pmBut let's not forget that his interviews are to just about anybody - as you say, even those with just a few followers.

I would be up for creating a channel for the sole purpose of asking BK questions and raising our various objections to his critical idealism. But I have a feeling the guy with 30 YT subscribers had an infinitely better chance of getting BK to accept than I would have. I would explain the nature of my inquiry to BK beforehand, so as not to surprise him with a "gotcha" interview, and that would probably be the end of discussion.Soul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 3:23 pmTrue enough ...
