I agree about institutional authority. I wish there was some combination of Catholicism and some kind of anabaptism because of that.

I am booked solid for a few days and will read thoroughly after that. Before I even checked in I realized I should walk back the idea of "every" magic user. I stopped looking into that years ago and of course there were people were just getting into it, and people who were "wishing" for things they did not really want and did not really put their whole selves into it. But people I saw as peers or people just ahead of me and people I thought were leading the way (including a few notable authors) got fried after some point. It was across a full range of supposed expertise. One published a photo in support of a highly regarded book of his about how he had proof of interaction with an entity he worked with but it was just the way light passed through his window and curtains and it was iffy at best. True a photo is just that, but he had no big story about what it was just some thing he saw. And he was perhaps the most realisitic and "scienctific" approaching writers who did not sell it like it would get you lottery winnings or laid or anything like that, very down to earth he presents his stuff. So I can't say if he got burned doing it, I dont' recall either way if he had tragedies or not.

When we think of the French Revolution and how many French were beheaded and how many French died and how many revolutions the French had after the first one, just to end up with Macron a little more than 200 years later, I think this Health Revolution will make that look very peaceful.

Zappa told us when they get sick of our freedom and of us, they will take down the decorations that make it look like we're in a democracy and show us the walls of the prison we in. Or, something like that he said. I don't think even he realized how tacky the walls would look though with ill-fitting leopard print miniskirts, too much make up, and wigs.

Also, wait. Did Natalie Portman rap that line in the original? I mean that's kinda messed up, and the same standard should be held to her as the "drag queen" if that's the case. So, now I'm against Drag Queen Story Hour and Natalie Portman Story Hour. She's probably OK with the former, but too expensive for the latter.

Not rambly at all! I am on board 100% with the idea that the Supreme Being being too big to understand. But, if that being must fragment itself to interact with us I'd have to think about. "Present different aspects of Itself" might be a similar idea. I have 2 other thoughts. 1, just that a teacher can have many different students, say the same thing to the whole class, & everyone picks up on different parts of it or finds different points of emphasis. When meeting 1-on-1, the teacher will say different things to each, interact the way people interact, not robotically but reacting in kind to the manner of the interaction in the moment. Thus God as Saint Theresa of Lisieux interacts is different than pretty much anyone else.

The other thought is I guess it comes down to how useful or accurate is that kind of distant monad gnosticism.,Aand: how did we get where we are, how did those who stand between us & the monad get their, what is their game in all this? I wasted a lot of life on those Qs. It was very intellectual even though we're told it's supposed to be about a kind of knowing at our core. There are so many texts & text fragments, whose contexts we know very little about. So many schools of thought creating them. Some had no sense that they were talking of anything real but just creating fiction to teach a point, or using it to tweak the noses of the religions around them. Variations of the "Sophia" fall and ill-fated offspring idea say matter is flawed and not the monad's intention. OK, then what? There’s so many ways to go after that conceptually but none resolve the dilemma we're in. But they hinge on the idea that matter is the problem. That's what makes that group different than "pagan" or naturalistic mythologies. It's polar opposite of what the German or Baltic tribes or Gauls or ancient Irish thought. I think Catholicism threads that needle: not crashing into the needle of gnosticism, not missing the eye of the needle and just being like "nature's great just don't leave the kids with Pan".

I like the idea we’re to be lights in the world that God can be partially shine through. It's an idea that came to the forefront of my thinking in the last couple of weeks. I'm surprised by how many saints have been inspired & converted by, not reading the Bible or wandering in to a church (or by as one priest I knew experienced, walking by a church & seeing a statue of Mary out front, being pulled in by her, & never let go of again), but by reading biographies of saints. Saint Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) was a philosophy student well on her way to a professorship when she was handed the Autobiography of St. Teresa Of Avila. She concluded "this must be true", proceeded to convert, & become a Carmelite nun. So, I think we can be ways we can interact with God-- some less perfectly than others. I would take that to be the marching orders given by Christianity & hopefully other religions.

I think your idea is basically the generic pantheism idea, no? Not the reductionist version saying Cu Cuhlainn is Achilles or Heracles (I've heard the latter but I'd lean towards the former if I had to be reductionist), but the general idea that all religious traditions point to some kind of "Aeon" or spirit which is part of some bigger thing. I think that idea is very modern (whereas the reductionist version existed before pantheism & was written of by polytheist Roman writers when talking about the Germanic tribes if not also the Gauls). But I am not sure where we draw the line between these ancient traditions dealing with supernatural entities and when they are dealing with natural forces.

A translator of Norse myths I like translates the names into their meaning. The start of one of the Eddas she has as "in the beginning was the big wave". What is interesting about that is that it could mean as simple as the massive tsunami that wiped out Doggerland, or it could mean energy of some kind (dare I say "light"? I dare not say "big bang" because the suppositions behind that idea are not as strong as we all just accepted them to be. The CMB might actually just be the oceans effecting every single time they tried to measure it. The redshift thing has anomolies that just can't be explained and ignored. Even the measurement of bent light around the sun can be explained classically. Robitaille, Arp, Dowdye). Many of the words we're given as names from those myths correlate to natural phenomena. Thor's clothing seems to have everything to with conducting electricity in her telling. It's all just so much more tangible than say God in Christianity after say Genesis where I think we can not really get what the setting for the Garden of Eden is or what it meant that we were clothed in animal skins as we were given the boot from there. Similarly we're told to accept suffering gladly even unto death. Try finding Cu Chulainn doing that. He went it to fighting tooth and nail and furiously. But then, he did everything furiously. (The women all bearing their breasts to calm him down from one of his rages had my head spinning when I first read it.) Even Ailill who is mature and calm and sort of an anchor for Mebd ends up putting an arrow into her because he could only tolerate so much. True the God of the OT is given to anger and chastisments, but it's not anthropomorphized as it is in nearly every other culture including the ones directly around and influential on it. It's also not Zeus sticking it to every woman he fancies.

As for those being then being ordered or chaotic, I don't know if we could tell the difference. I think we have to choose one and our choice will bias us to see the difference we choose. But I'm only making that up now. I don't know anyone who toyed with "magic" who didn't really regret, except for those who were so poor and suffering to being with that you'd never know if they got screwed over by bad entities or pissed off entities. In any event, if there is a team out there that "loves us" we have define love. I go with the Thomistic "to will the good of the other without regard to one's self" definition. This puts bad things that happen to us as God's permissive will and not His active will. Very different than the rules of the road I've seen in people working with spirits. I know people who have not worked with any spirits and who dabble in that world and play around with it, and they have pretty boring lives. It's almost like a fashion statement. But people I've known who really did try to change things in their lives that way, even knowing the idea that the only thing you can change is yourself, end up suffering some major loss. That does not sound chaotic to me, but ordered. But, I am biased to see it that way.

I agree that we do not seem to be able to change our sexual desires, but I also don't know if I ever thought I could learn to like eating healthy. It doesn't help that the mental health professions tell is we can change just about everything other than that. It didn't help that I just took for granted that me assuming that me wanting to chase every piece of tail that passed by me was normal. I saw only my own goals and my own purpose, and had no reason to see anything else. Like I said previously though, I can not really compare that with a same-sex attraction. But I think the big issue is that my inclination gets too much of a good-old-boys-club soft admonishment but until recently yours got so much more than just "far worse". I agree about pleasure, and we're not told to not pursue that. I'm just not even reading up on that or anything because I'm sort of trying to retrain myself towards better inclinations along all the "7 deadlies". When I feel like I made progress and all that I'll rethink where I'm at. I'm not like wrestling with all 7 or anything, just the ones I fall into I feel like I've done that got the tee shirt and it really is just ill fitting and not very stylish.

I agree we're really drawn to that nihilist pole. (well stated by your partner. Please give him my hat tip) But this was prophesied in surprising detail by a number of the "lights" I spoke of above. There are just certain aspects of the world we live in that are so pervasive that we can't really imagine what it was like long ago. I can well imagine a world were seeking a woman's ankle would turn a guy into Pepe LePew. In boot camp guys joked about the woman checking us in because she wasn't hot. Maybe it was just for conversation or a way of checking to see if we're all on the same page. 8 weeks later she was the hottest thing on earth. She wasn’t the one who had a make over. On a more serious note JP Sousa testified to congress against recorded music saying we’d ruin our ability to sing. it would ruin our "voice" in every sense of the world. Paraphrasing him today we'd say: politically socially psychologically & musically. We can't know what the world was like back then, or really what we were like back then. Native Americans could repeat the words of treaties as read to them word for word. Their minds were formed differently without the "advantage" of reading/writing. We can't imagine what that's like. Now, a generation that can't imagine not having hundreds of "friends" & what it's like to not offend ALL OF THEM if they don't post in lock step with them, flies against psychologists saying we can only have a specific & small number of people in our lives. Elsee we get overwhelmed by the number of, I guess it would be, the unique dynamics between each pairing or within each group.

We’ve come full circle to the drift towards nihilism or debauchery or the errors of nominalism, subjectivism & liberalism. I think creating a literal hell on earth is inevitable going down those paths. But I think the error before that is not taking seriously the Thy will be done thing.

Thank you very much. I often have to reread my own posts a few times so I know what you mean. I know I'll need to reread yours, and grab a dictionary. You're sharing a lot of great information, but also sharing your own experience which as very down to earth and rational you're writing is, I have to think you've had to wrestle with a lot of stuff inside. Either you're very strong or you've been through a bit of hell. Gay people in a straight world often do. I had an older relative who was gay (passed away now) and he was at early gay rights marches (and anti-war rallies, as it was the 60s). I know of only one long term relationship he had, and the guy turned out to be a jerk. But he was a close member of my close family, and his being gay never really came up other than as a plain statement of fact. We were not religious, at least over my life time but that may have been different before that.

I know we're told sexuality is immutable but I'm not sure the science is all that solid on that. I've been listening to a woman who worked on California's prop 8, an extremely conservative Catholic with a PhD in something (I don't know). I find her views somewhat jarring, but had I heard her 5 years ago or even 3 years ago I would have wretched probably. But she talked about how no one on the other side would go on the record and say, let alone prove, that sexuality was an immutable characteristic. That, apparently from her description of the fight, was integral to the arguments that equated gay rights with racial equality. I can't affirm or deny any of those ideas as it's not every going to be an area of expertise of mine. I haven't really looked enough to see if the nuts and bolts of the arguments fit together.

But to talk about these matters as statistics or public policy is one thing, and to talk about it as an aspect of someone's actual life is different. I have a easier time seeing the catholic stance on abortion and birth control IN A RIGHTLY-ORDERED WORLD than this, mainly because I'm not gay and I can't really talk about the attraction. Too many gay men of the baby-boomer generation went into religious life for the wrong reasons, I think everyone on both sides of the matter can agree to that.

I know curbing my own sexual urges, something I never even thought about doing, took a bit of reflection and a lot of prayer, and a lot of failure, and still fingers crossed and hands clasped in prayer I hope to ... keep my hands to myself, no not to myself either, uhm to keep my hands where everyone can see 'em I guess. I think the idea that carrots need scrubbing or monkey's need spanking or chickens need choking is not exactly true, but I did accept it as "the science" most of my life. But I can look back on relationships I had and relationships I pursued to the detriment of the relationships that I had, and seeing too many women as objects even when I saw them as more than that and even primarily more than that. None if it was good. Honestly, I forgot more than I should have, I realized. I also know my own selfishness and ego led me to do things I should not have done in those relationships. I can abstract that dynamic and see it in play in a lot of people's lives. We're fed lies about what can be and what we "deserve" in life and what we can accomplish and all that, and all we have to do is not get bogged down in the ramifications or our own actions, and everything eventually will be fine-- that's the kind of lie I bought a couple of times and I see others tricked by it.

I know there are groups that help Gay Catholics resolve what they are dealing with, but I don't know what there deal is.

I never considered myself pagan, but I played around in a lot of different systems, considering myself "gnostic". I read a lot by people who I guess would be pan-theists but I never really accepted that one groups set of gods were the same as another, even if they had similar myths and similar attributes or planetary associations. I always felt it was too reductionist and served some other corrupting force that was really turning them into their own system and calling it "wicca" or neo-pagan or whatever. I know a little about the publishers of those books and the sort of big movers say 50 years ago and they had ... less than higher aspirations let's just say. But, the are separate from the cultures and mythologies they draw from. I could just dismiss it all as "the error of naturalism" or other such errors. "The error of gnosticism" is weird because there were so many different variations of thought that get labeled as "gnostic" that, after not accepting this idea, I've accepted the idea that the term is misused and misapplied more than it is used well. I might be "in error" but I think a lot of the gnostic ideas I held are not incompatible with "church doctrine" or scripture, but It might be a while before my reading takes me back to pull it all apart again.

I think the biggest error I see being made is a denial of the supernatural being literally super-natural but just as real. I wonder if there is a sub-natural equally out of "sight" but just as real. I think this is why Christianity was able to spread as far as it did I don't think the sword or desire for commerce was all that effective really. I think it comes down to the question: is the supernatural ordered or in chaotic? You see in the belief systems in Mesopotamia before Zoroastrianism a belief in spirits but seemingly no hierarchy and people thinking they could manipulate them to their own gain as if the other side was just happy to help-- a realm of menches maybe. The Book of Enoch is pretty revealing in that regard.

I kinda just typing away here losing focus. You gave me a lot to think about.

FlippyKing · 2022-06-17T18:12:52+00:00

I have been thinking about two of the points you raise, one for a little while and another only more recently.

The Christian position on homosexuality is pretty varied and I think it is because you have two "poles" of thought among Christians: one that applies reason to the scriptures (as in Thomism) and one that takes it as God word regardless of what we see in the world around us. The latter, not being well thought out, breaks into two ends of a continuum and that is playing out in the break up of nearly all the major protestant denominations along "liberal" and so-called "conservative" lines. The Catholic church is on the precipice of such a break up for the same reasons. I think the liberal side uses disingenuously bad translations to create confusion over biblical prohibitions against homosexual activity, but I think they are all just missing a concept of what "rightly ordered" sexuality and the purposes of rights and licence and freedoms are from a Thomist perspective at least as I'm understanding them.

Virtually all sexuality and sexual expression and sexual activity today is just as sinful as homosexuality, even spite of it being labeled by previous popes as a sin that cries out to heaven. That "we" drew a line at homosexuality (not so much in the Hellenic classical world, but that was a major aspect of the conflict between the Jews and Greece/Rome) is more like a hypocrisy than a "good Christian values" kind of thing. Everything has a purpose towards which it is ordered. You build something to serve your purpose. Everything in this world view is ordered towards some end. Sexuality is ordered towards reproduction, so the proper use of it is to reproduce. That you get your rocks off while doing it is a bonus, not a bug. It entices you to reproduce. If you focus on the rocks off part and all you want to do is get your rocks off, it's become disordered in that you put your focus on something other than the purpose. If you play music, the purpose is to communicate music to others. If all you do is practice scales, and you perform essentially scale exercises (way too many "shred" guitarists either build their careers doing this or waste far too much time doing this and not making music and either go back to a day job or teach and exasperate the problem) your musicianship has become disordered. It's an easy trap to fall into, just like getting your rocks off is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ZCZjhjguA

If that idea about what a well-ordered sexuality is the party-line for all Christians, then their position would be more consistent and probably not open to changing with the times. But not even the Catholic Church, which is supposed to defer to "the angelic doctor" Thomas Aquinas on matters where there some confusion, holds consistently to Thomism on a whole lot of matters. The Eastern Orthodox and protestants have no real love for Thomism and I don't think the Oriental Orthodox would ever even consider it as they were "schismed" off long before he was born.

But the bottom line the lusts we feel are called passions in all the "apostolic" churches (I can't speak for protestants as there is something like 30,000 regisitered "denominations" in the US alone). Passions come over us passively and they distract us from what we should be doing (like, my desire to type here). They can have good purposes, like sharing information or hoping to clarify things (which if you can clarify anything I'm saying, please do), or to share love or companionship or communion between people or fill the "god sized" hole in all of us that men and women are supposed to do for each other. Those would be virtuous pursuits. But, virtue blocked leads to vice because we have to do something and even doing nothing is doing "something" in a sense of squandering time and stewing in frustration. Some used to respond to the desire for sex by working hard and being "worthy" or attractive to the object of their own desire. It's kind of disordered maybe, if it is seen obsessively and not seen as sort like the work you have to do to seeds and to a field and to all the things you have to do to plant a successful crop protected from critters. Some respond very badly to the passions though. That's where we are.

The liberal green-lighting of debauchery and degeneracy is called the error of liberalism. It treats freedom as an end of its own. You are free ... to be free? What does that mean? You are free to find the right course of action, that's the purpose of freedom. You have licence in pursuit of that. You have rights, but what are they? Today they are synonymous with licence. Guys in ill-fitting mini-skirts claim the "right", really licence, to enter women's spaces, because the idea that right is that which you must do in pursuit of a responsibility you have is lost. Men have a responsibility to protect women. The state took over that responsibility, as men pretty much sucked at it too often anyway. But we're pretty lost now if we can't even define what a woman is because some highly-disordered men claim they are women because of some subjective criteria.

This subjectivity, and it's undermining of objectivity and realism, is the underlying source of the errors of liberalism. And beneath that is the error of nominalism.

This is an hour long talk about the errors of liberalism from a series of videos called "the crisis in the church". It is very much Catholic insider-baseball, but the "crisis" they are discussing is the exact same crisis of the modern world (though, explained better here by the spiritual offspring of Lefevre then by Rene Gueron) and the exact same crisis that has been brewing for over 500 years. Bad ideas that don't seem so bad take a little while to set you off course, but longer to set you off your destination, and a bit longer til you see the destination you're heading for is not the one you set out for. So, that's the time scale these guys are dealing in. The series is extensive but I found it riviting from episode 1 all the way to like I think 55.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSu0-q845Wg

This covers the highlights of that material in about 20 minutes, but is more church focused. The whole series this is from is worth listening to and is a much shorter listen, but the focus is different as it is more about the church in the world. Both though deal with the problems of the world, and the Catholic Church's problems reflect those worldly problems.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UnQgPz2b68

You can hate the catholic church and still benefit from listening to these. I think critics within the church and outside it can find common ground and see the need for unity in the world as it is.

I'm sorry for not being pedantically accurate about all the possibilities about why someone might not be producing the gametes their body was designed to produced when I was saying that IT IS IRRELEVANT TO THE MATTER AT HAND. I apologize. I was unaware you would find offense or a problem in some bit of information that was irrelevant to the matter at hand because it was after all irrelevant and not about you or about menopause or any thing other than how you can define men or women. I'll tread more cautiously so as not not offend you any more. No need to parse out if you were offended or what was or wasn't the problem because it's off topic.

Because they are afraid of being perceived as anything think less than an active ally to the alphabet. Everything on their social media is a roll-call to make sure everyone is present and affirming what ever bs is going on without question because you can't question the subjective reality of someone you already labeled oppressed. How flamboyant cross-dressers are oppressed can't even be thought about too deeply, or it bursts the bubble. Drag performers are men dressed as women and team "t" used to find them offensive. But since now they are working in schools to normalize the sexualization of children, they are allies to the lie that there is such a thing as a transgendered child. The goal is to just make everything so fucked up that the alphabet people fit right in, it's the opposite of mental health care for them. It's more like saying the dog shit the rug, so let's throw away the toilet.

I don't take you seriously, so we're even. You would rather find an ad hominem and fallaciously use that to not "take someone seriously" but I do not take you seriously because you can not be serious. In another comment you say how you're not going to read an essay someone wrote as a comment, but you don't believe the stat they cite (edited for spelling) and you claim that even if someone claims to be heterosexual you do not believe them. Elsewhere you deny reality and you think everything is subjective. So, you're going to believe what ever bullshit is convenient for you and reality be damned. I pointed out the end goal of all this gender bullshit and I said that you may not be aware of that goal, but it is the goal regardless. But if you don't believe in objective reality and think everything is subjective, you're already on board with all that. Subjectivism means everything comes down to power and not reason.

And I welcomed you back as the troll you are because I saw your previous contributions, and you're a troll. You spew bullshit, tell people you won't read and deny everything because ultimately you adhere to subjectivism. But if a troll admits they're a troll it kinda ends the game. Play on, playa.

Biodynamic and Organic started around the same time, the former being centered in Germany at the start as it is Steiner's, the latter from what I read was centered in England at first. They are similar, as they evolved Biodynamic is more strict in what they can use. The weird aspects of it are acknowledged by the farmers I know who use it, but they find it works. Steiner himself did not create a dogma but told those he spoke to to test the system he proposed and change it over time. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer was pretty much directed by Steiner to apply modern scientific techniques to the study of it all. The goal was always "does this work" and not "here's the story we can tell about what's going on to make sense of why this might work" so, not making sense is just par for the course. Action at a distance still makes no "sense".

Do you understand the difference between definite and indefinite? I can affirm that I am definitely male. If someone is easily affirmed as definitely female then we KNOW they are definitely not male.

But if you were to ignore that classification as ruling out them being male, and tried to classify them as male and not consider if they are female, then you would conclude that you could not define them as male. You'd say the female is not male.

But you skip past this as it is not your concern. You are not concerned with seeing clearly defined aspects of the world and creating and using definitions based on those. Instead you go to the margins and ask about people with non-functioning gonades. If their body is designed to produce small mobile gamates, they are male. If their body does or does not work properly is irrelevant. If their body is designed to produce large immoble gamates, they are female. If their body does or does not work properly is irrelevant.

What you're doing is finding red herrings or non sequiturs. You are not offering a functional system to define or classify things, you are instead pretending such can not exist, which leaves it and all things to be declared by those with the most power. For a movement that cries about being oppressed, trans activists want only their power over women to define their femaleness, they want doctors empowered by the money from surgeries to define it, and they want laws to prevent reality to matter in society. Men who identify as women are a toxic mimic of women, and trans activists are a toxic mimic of oppression. Yours are a toxic mimic of questions, citing a toxic mimic of scholarly inquiry. Your goal, be it consciously yours or not, is to eliminate male and female, parents and parental responsibilities. The goal is to replace it with laws and schools and governments and surgeries, making everyone slaves, slaves to mental illnesses, slaves to willful or trained in stupidity (as schools are doing now teaching this gender bullshit to kids), slaves to dysfunctional sexual drives, slaves to the medical professions, and the elimination of family bonds because slaves only have time to work or suffer or die. But, welcome back, troll.

Gender is made up. Sex is real. I don't need a test to determine my sex.

I think pornography is a massive factor in AGPs and the extroverted of those clearly have a need to force everyone around them to affirm their charade. For kids who want to be cool, and that is presented as normal and forward thinking, vs old fashioned and outdated, or worse when the "cool parents" are affirming it vs the squares that aren't (where gender and trans are parallel to the parents who let kids drink in the house because they would do it other wise outside) I can easily see porn influencing kids even if they aren't view it.

Also, porn use by straight boys puts them into a mindset to ... well rape the girls in their peer group for lack of a want for a better word. This is part of the hypersexualized world where people do feel free to talk about their kink and porn use and just pushed the envelop way beyond anything that existed in the past. The adolescent girl is then given a choice to escape this pornified world where they are the object by transing. So, porn impacts that even if the kid isn't watching it.

You agree the anime influence but so much of that is low-key porn even when it isn't. They make it a point to imitate camera angles and panning that accentuate the "secondary sex characteristics" that are emerging as puberty begins. It's a genre that objectifies cartoon girls even when the anime is not really about that. How many sad sad dudes publically and vocally shat on the Netflex Cowboy Bebob because the actress wore too much clothing for their tastes? They complained about it because th genre is a porn-lite genre at it's best, and I don't need to talk about it's worst.

The thing about hearing from detransitioners or any one at any given time. Their reasons for doing things in the moment of doing them should never be assumed to be rational, and so what ever reasons they state for doing what ever they do should be taken with a grain of salt. But to take reasons for having done something, transitioning or even eating a cookie, given after the fact, hours or years, is pretty useless. We always rewrite our past to make sense of the present. It's basically human nature and part of our pattern-making adaptation as a species.

Another possible hidden influence of porn in kids being roped into the trans cult is the teachers and the adults who are doing the pushing. I have no observation to offer on this, but my general idea is that you can't just look at the direct influence on some kid and how that leads them to or away from the cult but you have to see it as a potential influence, in some cases great, on the people around the kid and their environment.

Interesting. I only have more questions and got very few "answers" from reading this. How different is this military-adjacent population from the civilian population, is one. Military might be a more homogeneous group socio-economical than the population at large, but how does that compare to the population that is trans in general society? Should they account for and compare the officer-adjacent population with enlisted-adjacent population?

I'm not asking for answers, MarkTwainiac, so do not feel a need to address any of those. I mean, trans is not valid. If people desist, good and I hope the damage done was minimal, and I hope they heal from that damage and the damage that led them there. If people do not desist, it doesn't mean trans is valid anymore than people who can't quit heroin really have had a need that was met by heroin.

I look forward to Wolf's response because if the court rules reasonably and not cowardly the legal fiction of gender as a trait absent of sex might end. At the very least the sex-denialism would end and then you'd have the fake trait of gender stand along side the real trait of sex at least for a time. If so the fight over what pronouns refer to and what "identity" is might have to be had. Identity in some way must at least refer to how some outside party can determine if a given physical person matches the documents naming them and that has matching physically observable traits like eye color, skin color, sex and age. The idea of "Identity" being some inner trait seems odd because you already know who you are and never needed words or social categories or outside validation to realize you are you. It's just stupid.

Not really, just getting further and further away: "The TL:DR is that yes, it's a me problem. Trans women are beautiful and unique, it's our business what we wear, and haters are gonna hate anyway so I need to get over myself. And I promise I'm working on it."

I haven't seen most of them, I just noticed. I looked at their IMDB page. I'm surprised the Hudsucker Proxy is theirs. I loved that but haven't seen in it so very long.

Hail Caesar is so good. I don't really think the Christianity is the major theme in Hail Caesar, the proletariat screen writers, and the easily duped actor I think is a bigger theme. How different is Ryan Reynolds or Channing Tatum (the actor in the sailor suit getting on the Russian sub in a very surreal scene they are so good at sticking into their movies with no real setup or explaination) and George Clooney? But, it's just a day at the office for the guy who slaps sense into Clooney, so that it is a very wierd "slice of life" movie is pretty neat.

Raisin Arizona I loved. Buster Scrubs takes a turn they love to take in their movies, and the afterlife scene and what I'd call mysticism around that scene is really worth just appreciating for how they did it. For some reason it, the ending, reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth.

Barton Fink deals with I guess a Judaeo-Christian theme but but it really is more like Karma. That movie leaves you with a lot to wrestle with, well me anyway. No Country for Old Men, is that a slice of life movie from Tommy Lee Jone's character's point of view where the embodiment of evil is just what this guy deals with? It's a well made movie. I didn't really get the villain but I guess blind evil isn't really understandable. So much randomness in their movies and how it is intertwined with fate. They definitely have a point of view that is unique.

I didn't know that True Grit remake was theirs. I'm going to have to watch it soon.

How "Jewish" are they though? I guess they are culturally Jewish, but are they religious? I assume they're American so they probably have a perspective on Christianity that reflects what every forms were dominate where they grew up, unless they grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. The distribution of types of Christianity in the US is uneven, you have areas where Lutherans are everywhere, some areas where Catholics are everywhere, the south is largely Baptist and I think Methodist. So, I wonder, if religion is a big part of the areas they explore in their movies (but maybe it's just spirituality, which is easy to explore in the arts because creation has some mystery to it for sure) what mix they were exposed to or drawn to might impact that.

I used to be somewhat of a political activist. In the arts, in the US anyway, a lot of people are very politcal in the slactivist lazy meme for opinions way. I think it has to do with the way artists need some kind of empathy and sensativity to be expressive, so they are easily swayed.

Yes, I'm from the US. I've been to the Netherlands, to Amsterdam and Den Hague. I liked it a lot even though I didn't really partake in any much of the illicit activities.

I'm not sure why I drifted into politics, but I guess that is usually the biggest obstacle when people get together. I agree that "tribes" should mostly about activities and localities. I used to want to go to Castlefest which is held in the Netherlands because it looks crazy and fun and crazy, with some good bands and a lot probably not so good.

FlippyKing · 2022-05-10T21:17:38+00:00

Well, after say 10 minutes or so you can get pretty much anyone to say "it's all bullshit anyway" or some variation on "psy-op" on just about any topic. I don't know what chantards are though, so I feel like maybe lingo might be the issue.

Actually I think "lingo" is an issue everywhere. I used to travel in very "left" and labor-based circles back when it was about tangible things and not social issues and identity bs. I later ended up around more middle-class artsy and educated beyond their intelligence (and usefulness really) self-proclaimed left circles (what frauds!). Now I'm around a variety of right-leaning to MAGA and other very right-wing people. The difference between economic "left" back then and "MAGA" now is just in the vocabulary and the historical understanding of how we got where we are. The social-issues left and the social-issues right will probably never see eye to eye on much of anything because their starting points a so far off.

At least the maga crowd and the old labor based left are starting from the point of view of a pay check and their local issues. They just don't speak the same lingo and don't have the same perspective on history. And I mean perspective, they are looking at the same historical events from different places. I think for example one way to unite them is to point out how the USSR was a failure, and how the Bolsheviks chose to cheat and manipulate things to gain power and how that was the seeds of their own downfall and in-fighting and paranoia. Similarly the French Revolution can be looked at the way Archbishop Lefevre sees it, when he asks "which one do you mean?" and he points to all the deaths caused by each of them because some manipulative group (stone-cutters at least in the first one if not others) set the classes against each other and probably created the class differences and social indifferences behind them. Ultimately we have to united, and we have to see each other's problems from each other's points of view and whittle our way down to the actual objective truths of any matters.

But the psyops go that far back if not much much futher.

FlippyKing · 2022-05-10T20:48:21+00:00

That's frightening. Especially since we know the actual ending is the dude claiming to be prettier than the actual woman and thus more of a woman because reality has been replaced by a set of objectifying criteria.

I heard Jordan Peterson talking about the idea I think he called "Construct verification", that when you want to investigate some idea you have to try to make sure it is a real phenomena and that it is not just a term for a non-real idea that is actually described better by some existing idea. The obvious thing is that gender is a non-real idea that is better described in nearly all instances by sex and sex based differeces. Instead of seeing the way society treats people differently based on sex, gender ideology pretends it is an innate property of people that creates the difference. Instead of "if A then B", they say "If B, then A" or they extend the "If" to an "If and only If"-- bad logic. But if "B" is "they treat you the way they treat women", then they do a bait and switch and say "if you act according to some stereotype then you are that which they stereotype".

There is no core being with complexities that result in real individuality in their view, no real person, just what society projects on a person. And that is used to hide the simple fact that a bunch of guys addicted to porn lost their literal minds and demand everyone indulge their fantasy. If Socrates is right, they are really engaged in a cry for help no matter how much they protest otherwise (where Socrates thinks the criminal wants criminal justice as much as anyone else, to correct their errors and to deal with their guilt)

If he were really in charge, you'd never know it. The current pope was put there by a group called the "Saint Gallen Mafia" but they are beholden to some other people. Bugnini who wrote the new mass used by the church is said to be more than just a freemason, and that the mass he wrote was written by others long before him (It matches closely something written by masons in the 20s).

I agree the pope sucks, pretty much they all have done something to make things worse since VII and some would argue tangibly that Pius XII as he got older and may have been held hostage in his waning years did damage as well. John XXIII, Paul VI, and Francis were/are disasters. JPII is a mixed bag only by comparison and Benedict did his damage before he was pope even though he comes off as a "conservative" among the post-conciliar popes and theologians. His idea of dividing the pope's office into two distinct offices with different roles might be being played out now as his resignation is sketchy in the details (see Edmund Maza's work on this). In any event they all took or are all taking the church far from what Leo XIII and Pius X were trying to preserve.

If anything, the popes have choosen to be door men for the real powers at work.

Someone I was running around with one day said to me "how does that always happen with you?" and I was like "what?"

the problem with the stupid "x" instead of an indication of a person's sex on ID documents is that it diminishes the usefulness of the document to please narcissists or liars. The purpose of any ID document is not some ego stroke of the identified, but to make so the state or some authority can pin down if the person holding the document is the person identified on it. Imagine the trouble coming for bar owners when they go to check someone's ID and a guy puts on a wig and walks in with his older sister's id.

I'll help: Hey Skippy and Scout (the fictional nephew and niece he's addressing), so I bet you've been hearing a lot about people saying they are trans. Well let me tell you what you need to know. They are liars trying to convince people they are some thing that does not exist, when they are just people like you or me. Yep! They might be boys or they might be girls, men, or women, but they are pretending they are not what they are. Sometimes there are enough people around them them helping them repeat the lie that they believe it. Sometimes people who are around these liars start to become confused about themselves, wondering if they really are a boy or a girl. We should feel sorry for those people, but like anything else we should only speak the truth to fix the problem. They might go on and on about some feeling they have inside them, or sense of always knowing they were somehow not what they obviously are, but they are lying. We all have feelings, we all have thoughts, and they have very wide ranges. We can think about anything, and we can imagine we feel like anything at all, but it doesn't change what we are. We are all people. Some are born boys and some are born girls, and we know which are which when they are born. It's obvious to anyone who's helped change a diaper. No amount of lying can change that."

Not to be overly picky, but I think the phrase "biological sex" is already a compromise too far with TRAs.

No. In any sub, if the mods see your your posts in other subs that they don't like they ban you. I got banned from a number of subs because I participated in a GC sub, because reddit is run by trannys and pedos and groomers and pervs.

This is not throwing the baby out with the bath water, because that puddle reddit is in is not bath water but their own jizz.

You're changing the subject when you start talking about "we" banning non-right-wing content. There's plenty of politically left people here. There's also pervs just like on Reddit here, there's everything even procensorship people.

We have few users because most people don't care that reddit is run by pervs and chased off anyone who points out that it's run by pervs. We have good users here instead. I come here for the content and because this is where people went when they banned all the GC content.

You should go back to reddit, the nasty stuff there doesn't seem to effect you, and you can have the big platform with many people posting about many things. People here could have played nice with Reddit and stayed if they wanted that.

And in case this needs to be said for clarity: fuck reddit.

I agree, but I think the solution is build the alternative, not import the original because it would drive traffic to the place that very likely was run by people pushing grooming and pedo bs. I don't think it is a left or right thing, I think it is, for me, that reddit and the other big social media companies not only push creepy stuff (well, reddit and twitter anyway, and youtube, so maybe not facebook) but that they also shutup any dissent even in the non-political or non-creepy subs. I would not want to drive traffic there or create a kind of bleacher seats from which to watch what the guys on the big sites are doing.

These people sound possessed, or like wannabe-possessed.

Where's Chris Hansen when you need him?

Repulsive cries for help like this are so sad. The need for help is obvious. But the gag reflex kicks in on sight, making it difficult.

FlippyKing · 2022-04-05T22:31:34+00:00

but there is some talk that he will face Julio Caeser Chavez Jr

Well, either way, he should face someone who will get more than a payday for winning. The bad leg being targeted tactically (or stategically I guess) in MMA doesn't apply in boxing BUT the foot work needed in boxing is complicated and critical. that would be compromised and could be taken advantage of strategically by a boxer.

FlippyKing · 2022-04-05T22:16:01+00:00

A lot of MMA guys end up with drug problems, even while fighting but once retired they can go off the rails fast. Boxers too, but I think less so.

I think he's not really pursuing a boxing career if he's 4-0 and planing on fighting a 46 year old drug addict. Also, if no boxer who is building a career is seeking him for a fight, it might be that he's be a waste of their time.

FlippyKing · 2022-04-05T22:12:11+00:00

Wow. well no point in dissing that. But I do think if he wants to call himself a boxer, and just a fighter, he should box boxers who are not washed up but seeking to build their career. It is very common for a boxer's manager to chose opponents carefully the same way a classical piano teacher chooses what pieces for students to tackle next. So it makes sense for a youtuber to move into the ring in this kind of a manner. But, he should be taking on progressively better opponents, who either have a style he can deal with or who have something he can learn via training and finally in the ring to grow from. But how much potential he has really depends on a lot of factors-- but that should dictate what path he follows in choosing opponents.

You can use words, like you did above. That's better, I think, than labeling something. Most likely you would not think everything is "disinfo", so pinning down where departures from agreement starts is probably more useful. That's how Socrates did it!

Also, you move the goal post. You're title is about disagreement, but you want a label for what you think is "disinfo". You can get that on youtube or facebook or probably twitter or reddit (I'm guessing, I only look at youtube of those 4)

What is "Disinfo"? The question brings me back to what I asked above, because such a label obscures what is potentially incorrect. Everything can't be incorrect, and if some wrong thing could ruin or render useless some bit of reading or a video, then we would have to throw out all of the scientific literature in the world because there are mistakes and bad assumptions and faulty data and all sorts of things in either every paper or in the papers they cite. Many papers start with incorrect statements in their introductions, but you keep reading and deal with what they did and how they did it and assess that before even considering their conclusions. Obviously they can't get conclusions right if their methods are bad or data flawed, but they can (and often do) have good data and good methods and crap for conclusions. Often they add in sentences into their conclusions that have nothing to do with their work. That used to be frowned upon, but funders of studies can't keep their hands or pens or word processing software out of the papers they paid for.

Should you label this as "disinfo"?

FlippyKing · 2022-04-05T21:25:12+00:00

The similarity is the bombing the shit of out them, "citizenship" is irrelevant. But hey, if you want to excuse either, that's you're choice.

What's his record? He boxed a basketball player? I don't think that should count in this context unless the basketball player has also switched careers to prize fighting. But wait, he's BOXED two washed up MMA fighters? So that's not even their sport either. Boxing has very strict rules compared to MMA, so ... has he boxed any actual boxers?

FlippyKing · 2022-04-05T21:02:28+00:00

Russian speaking Ukrainians. How could I mean otherwise? (I'm really asking)

I am posting this video here, because Mary does come up in a couple of contexts. Her role in exorcisms is mentioned, as it is in many accounts from exorcists. Just how real the supernatural is becomes clear, as it does in the accounts of psychologists who are not religious when dealing with drug addicts and prisoners in prisons. It's really astonishing, but that is another topic. Also though, the interviewer has had a direct experience with Our Lady of Guadeloupe, so that's amazing.

If you look here in Hail Mary you will also see a video from an Eastern Orthodox priest talking about why Jesus gives Mary anything she asks. It's amazing and brings so much of what Catholicism and Orthodoxy are about into focus. She was the only one who could bring the supernatural into the natural world. The prayers the Angelus and the Magnificat both spell it out so well, and they are just biblical scripture.

This is another take on the devotion of saying three Hail Marys, with a little history.

When I first saw the title of the video, I thought "we only do 3? Since when???" If we say the Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we do three Hail Mary's at the end of it (plus a Glory Be). We do the Angelus Prayer (so 3 more), we say 5 decades of the Rosary (so, fifty plus the three at the start for an increase in Faith Hope and Charity), and we say the 3 Hail Mary's (I'm up to 62 Hail Marys here)

But the Three Hail Marys devotion is as I think I said above is a surprisingly effective way of getting help avoiding sin. It doesn't make a lot of sense, because it is literally supernatural. It just works if you are trying and serious about it. If you don't want it, no amount of help will help. She really is there, she really is real, and if you ask and are serious, she's really there for you even if you do not see or hear her or you don't get all the toys you want. This life is never the point, the situations we're born into or we end up in are our crosses to bear in trying to make the world better and help others. Everything else is not the point.

If you gather from other parts of this little sub, then you see there is something powerful there for us if we take it but we have to believe and we have to want "Thy" (God's!) will be done, not ours. That is the tough one to get our head around. "What's the harm in ... " any number of things may not be apparent to us, but some things become more clear if we try to stick to the rules and learn. The harm to others becomes obvious. But, the harm we do to our selves starts to become clear too.

The idea that there is such a thing a spiritual sickness becomes self evident, and you can't like "unsee it" once you do. There's a reason saints reject the world and their own weaknesses in such stark and surprising words, and long for heaven so fervently. Everything does not become clear, it can't; but so much does. Does that make anything easier? I'm not sure.

Before I can answer that, I have to ask two questions.

Who?

and

What?

and Russians become Palestinians.

Give that "girldick" a pap smear and see how long this "transfemme" phase lasts.

also, not having "bottom disphoria"?

The world is incoherent. Someone predicted this a very long time ago.

"She said no, and explained to me that being a woman in society is largely affected by what clothing you wear, and she wanted the freedom to wear whatever she wanted anytime."

"being" is "affected by" ??? Beings are affec-- you know what? Just no. What the hell is this sentence? Women are affected by, yes. We all are I guess to some extent. But my "being" something, where the being is clearly used as a verb, is not affected by any of this. Wear what ever you want! My God, David Bowie, Steven Tyler, the NY Dolls: wear what you want. The clothing makes THE MAN is the saying for crying out loud, but it's a lie like everything else.

I could not take a doctor seriously if the doctor asked me if I was pregnant. I'd laugh for a good while and leave. My medical exam would be over, and the doctor would have failed.

"... in the first scheme of its kind in the UK"

Scheme is right. No pay out for stopping a misdiagnosis? No pay out for saving a person from taking unneeded drugs?

Patient: Doctor! I think I broke my leg!

Doctor: I'll do the diagnosing around here. ... Nope, you need cross-sex hormones!

also

Patient: Doctor. I just hate all the creepy looks I get and the unwanted advances from guys now. Even my teachers are leering at me.

Doctor: It's perfectly understandable. You don't like it because you're really a straight man in a woman's body, but not the old fashioned way a straight man would get into a woman's body. Here's some testosterone!

also

Patient: Doctor! I think I'm a woman trapped in man's body!

Doctor: OK! You do the diagnosing around here after all. Here's your estrogen.

It's funny how the proper and efficient ordering of the words in that phrase is offensive and was done away with long ago.

It's all either envy or jealously or "covetousness" which are all simultaneously psychological and spiritual disorders that if not dealt with fully turn into hate.

IT. IS. A. MENTAL. ILLNESS (if not more. seriously maybe that's why psychologists and psychiatrists sold out and bought into the bs. Nah, it's the money. But dealing with it might be more than what just the psychs can handle, especially if all the crazy stuff they do in their imaginations while beating off on their path towards full-on AGP is considered normal or healthy by the psychs)
