In a nutshell, why Murray wins on substance. "Maybe I'm being a LITTLE hyperbolic.. MAYBE" Rather than defend him, Smith and Rogan collapse and pretend Cooper had been "just kidding" and "joking around." Was he joking? Watch the side-by-side and make up your own mind. And I'm NOT attacking... show more

You could win a debate with Dave Smith, but I don't see how you could possibly think that Murray won this one. He didn't even know Darryl's name, and had never listened to any of his content. And kept confusing him with Ian and others. He had no idea what he was talking about.

So let's ignore that he literally says he's being hyperbolic to prod at his friend and instead assume he is saying exactly what you imply. Can you connect the dots for me to how this is dangerous? And be specific.

For fuck sake, this world class gaslighting. Coopers point is that Churchill made a string of terrible decisions that made matters worse and drove escalation. This has been a completely reasonable position for fifty years. Murray's response was that he disagreed with it because he thinks it holds Churchill to too high of a standard because he couldn't know what would happen. The entire point of the exercise is to look at the decisions and see what happened and if there were better alternatives.

Get a grip dude. He says right there he’s also trying to provoke Jocko. Everyone needs to chill. Just wait until the podcast comes out my god.

Let's not bullshit, huh? Yes he says he was being a "little hyperbolic... maybe," but OBVIOUSLY that doesn't mean he doesn't agree with the point, or that he's "joking around" or is not a Churchill detractor. He doesn't even commit to it being hyperbole ("maybe").

When it was just Dave and Rogan in the room a few episodes earlier, they agreed enthusiastically with each other that it was a joke, but also insisted that it is a true and correct piece of historical analysis. So it's only a joke when being held up to scrutiny...

Yet you, Noam, absurdly say that Dave "knows way more about this stuff than [you] do." No, if what he says is false, he gets no credit for "knowing." He's either lying or he doesn't know wtf he's talking about. Stop giving him the benefit of non-existent doubt.

The more I see @ShallyWalk the performance is unreal. Adjusted my strategy based on his approach, Pulled in $160K in profits.

It really wasn’t even close. Murray did not produce (m)any arguments that weren’t fallacies, misrepresentations or strawmen.

He was trolling, but not joking.
