arguments aren't compelling, and during a debate on morality he said STTE of "well, if you don't believe that you're just crazy and you don't know what you're talking about". Solid argument.

I think he is at his worst when discussing morality and ethical schemes because he comes across, and I believe is admitted to, not being well read on the mountains of literature humanity has put forward to try and grapple with the subject. It leads to him putting forward thinly veiled utilitarianism as a novel concept in The Moral Landscape, as if humanity hadn’t formalized utilitarianism and it’s flaws for centuries.

I didn't realize that but it explains a lot. He frequently acts as if he's presenting something novel and I could never figure out why. Because to him, it is.
