Anyone familiar with some of my earlier posts, likely realizes that I am no fan of richard heart, so for sure I agree with Peter's overall assessment that Heart is a scammer, but jeez, I am not sure if their short conversation reflected worse upon Heart or worse upon Peter. Sure, Peter said that he had not done any preparation for the conversation, and largely Richard had invited Peter to discuss the matter of the scam Hex project, and Peter said that he had done absolutely no preparations and had only intended to come on to the live feed and just call Richard a scammer. That was Peter's intent, and he did not intend to back anything up beyond that.
Surely, Richard is decently good at debating in terms of doing his homework (or at least having prepared several talking points that attempt to cause him to appear to be way the fuck more objective than he really is), and the 2-minute clip did cause me to go and look at the original longer interview, which is the full discussion between Richard and Peter, that lasts about 20 minutes. That full YouTube video is linked through Richard Heart's page or something like that, if I recall correctly.
When looking at the full video, after Peter is no longer on the call, Richard continues with his live stream and attempts to contextualize and clarify the interaction with Peter... in which Peter is just calling Richard a scammer over and over and over with little to no further substance.
I was partly drawn into Richard's further monologue following the discussion with Peter because I wanted to see how Richard was going to continue to contextualize their conversation and then go onto recovering from the earlier discussion.
There is some ease in which Richard was able to do that because Peter did not give many difficult reasonings or background to back up his overly asserted repeated conclusions that Richard is a scammer.
The whole stream of Richard's longer monologue that followed his discussion with Peter is something like 2.5 hours, and I was lulled a bit into watching and listening to Richard's nonsensical monologue for a bit over an hour and a half before I could not take it any longer.
It is like self-abuse, I suppose, to tolerate listening to that guy and his various spinning efforts which ends up devolving into many times proclaiming regarding how wonderful HEX is and how it is nearly guaranteed to make you rich (even though there are no guarantees)... oh fuck, gawd, give me back my wasted time listening to his nonsense... but o.k.... I am a glutten for punishment, sometimes... or caught me in the right mood to tolerate or something?
