Bret Weinstein: the official explanation for the towers isn't physics. It's sophistry.
"The argument that is being made is not a physics argument. It is not an engineering argument. It is not an architecture argument. It is a personal, emotional, motivational argument.
The argument that is being delivered is, 'Here is why I am not motivated to do anything else about 9/11, because I believe a story, and it involves heat shielding on steel, melting points, sagging points, yada, yada, yada. I believe a bunch of stuff, and the worst you can say about me is that somewhere in what I believe there's a logical error.
So what?'
They're providing a mechanism for getting off the hook, because being on the hook is not good, and anybody who's been in this fight a long time knows it's not good. The costs are astronomical.
So you're dealing with a human phenomenon, and you're dealing with, well, frankly, it has a name. It's called sophistry.
Sophistry is the art of making very high-quality arguments for things that aren't true.
That's what sophistry is."
