You, unwittingly, hit upon another aspect of the issue.

Whether to wear a seatbelt or not is a personal decision. Criminalizing it (nobody challenged this!?), is part of a process of brainwashing people (e.g. you) to accept the idea that you're not free to decide, in general.

Furthermore, such laws, which the thoughtless don't understand, are an attack on the basis of democracy itself. Democracy rests on the idea that the citizens of a society are, and certainly must be treated as, responsible adults. They decide the fate of their society, for fuck's sake!

So, the state is supposed to serve its citizens and must not, as a general rule, try to treat them like mentally-challenged children.

It depends on what you mean by 'kind of thing', but if land mammals ('one kind of thing'?) can evolve into dolphins and whales etc., fish-like sea mammals ('a different kind of thing'?) then one kind of thing can indeed evolve into 'a different kind of thing'.

Today's pinnipeds, seals and sea-lions, etc., seem to be on their way there.

When you look at pinnipeds, do you imagine that they were 'designed' that way?

All of these complicated chemicals didn't evolve to be in men's sperm they were designed into it.

Wait, what, why, on what basis?

Is 'complexity' the issue that's bothering you about it?

Cannot complexity 'emerge' as it were?

No, nice try. In a few cases, as a matter of immediate safety, the freedom of speech may be curtailed by law. 'Yelling fire in a crowded theatre' is a specific (the most commonly known) example of this. What you, on the other hand, are threatening and advocating, violence, assaulting someone (punching them in the throat!) for expressing an opinion, is a serious crime and should land you in jail.

Maybe that binary (on/off) is not the right way to understand existence at quantum scales. The quantum realm seems to be a kind of sea of virtual events, which we call 'particles' but probably shouldn't. More helpful analogies may exist than billiard balls. For example, is a wave top/crest in the sea a distinct thing, fully separate from the surrounding water? Where does it begin, and where does it end?

If someone tells me face to face that Palestinians are sub-human (which I have been told on a couple of occasions by Zionists on line) they are going to get a punch in the throat.

That's basically criminally insane. If something can be thought, then it can be said. And people can think both correct and incorrect things. We don't need nor want self-appointed thought-enforcers assaulting people over wrong-think. The partially successful goal of the Enlightenment was to replace dogma with reason. So, let's not descent back into some neo-abrahamic dark ages, where diverging from the approved orthodoxy gets you assaulted.

It's not the words, it's the acts. The demonstrable self-serving bullshit of biblical mythology, for example, is a sewer of jewish-supremacism. But that, on its own, is not the problem. An essential issue might for example be the theft of the Palestinians' ancestral homeland. The excuses concocted to do this, to steal these people's ancestral homes(!), are incidental. The words merely provided rationalization to justify a crime. But the words themselves are not the crime.

In an apparent desperate attempt to avoid the objective truth, you're now trying to get pedantic about the accuracy of the term 'genocide'. Right! And because of this, the debate has now gone off into some pointless tangent. Look, no matter how you twist it, you simply can't avoid the demonstrable (and one would expect uncontroversial) fact that, as Hillary Clinton might say: 'We came, we saw, they died'. Period.

The answer to the white guilt / noble savage narrative is probably not some counter-narrative denying the genocide of the indigenous Americans, but an attempt to actual historical accuracy and to as objective as possible an understanding. You do seem to try to do that more than most, I must say. This, of course, is hard work, tedious, difficult and imperfect ... and one may not like the conclusion ... ergo the popularity of merely slinging self-serving narratives at each other. All that being said, it's basically certain that the invasion of the Americas by foreign populaces played a decisive role in the virtual extinction of the original Americans, and is not just coincidental.

What do you mean 'was' this or that, 'beautiful', 'visible', etc?

Don't Yahweh-worshippers believe that the deity's adversary currently 'is' (e.g. 'visible') ... as in today?

As for that ... 'solution':

It's that the deity then becomes human, and vice versa, in order to be sacrificed to the deity (i.e. itself!?), so that it (the deity i.e. itself) can be appeased into forgiving humans (sparing them from mass murder) ... oh, and into forgiving the spirits that rejected it and fell here with Lucifer, so they may repent and be forgiven of their enormous guilt.

OMG, pardon the pun.

If it were just you believing such stuff, as opposed to entire institutions, and a large chunk of our species, with you being just another follower among billions, I'd suspect some kind of mental issue.

Well, I still do ... only it's a mass mental issue ... and it may prove to be our species' 'great filter'.

We can't seriously hold that the virtual extinction of the Americans is unrelated to the invasion of new arrivals to the continent, can we?

One way or another, we must agree that the American Nations were essentially wiped out. Now, whether this was mostly by accident or mostly on purpose doesn't really matter for my point: They were replaced by other ethnicities, foreigners, from other continents.

This, now, requires, in trying to concoct some kind of new semi-coherent nationality/ethnicity, the imposition of the pretence that all ethnicities are the same or, better yet, that there's no such thing as ethnic differences ... nor ethnicities.

When you force someone into a situation against their will, into reservations, concentration camps, prisons, etc., if they then die ... by whatever means ... you're the one responsible for their death. It's actually surprising to me that the prisoners in prisons, where rapes, murders, etc., seem to be considered normal(!?), don't sue these institutions for anything/everything that happens to them ... but that's another issue. The point is that, there's no avoiding it, the 'wretched refuse' of other continents, the lowest classes and the criminals, which are the people that went to the Americas, are responsible for the genocide, and replacement, of the American Nations, the actual/ethnic Americans.

Starting with Constantine (whose mother, 'a woman of low social standing', was a follower of the cult) it was soon promoted by Roman Emperors. It offered justification for the kind of dictatorial system of government which they liked, with an absolute monarch/'Lord'/dictator-deity ruling the Universe, with no checks nor balances from other perspectives/Gods. Roman emperors are the ones that imposed it upon the empire. Had it not infected Roman Emperors, that cult, and the distasteful self-serving tribal bullshit that went with it, would have remained obscure ... probably for the better.

'Lucifer' means 'bringer of light' ... literally ... and that's a great name for a telescope.

But no ... 'God's adversary', the enemy of a deity that, accordingly, must therefore be the ... 'bringer of darkness'?

Also, a deity with an equally magic and invisible adversary in a ... 'mono'-theism?

But of course! :/

So much damage has been done because the Romans were somehow fooled into conflating 'The One' (a Platonic philosophical concept for the original/universal consciousness) with the worship of 'Yahweh' (some primitive, barbarous and demonstrably evil Middle-Eastern tribal deity, and its associated mythology) ... leading to all kinds of nonsensical crap.

Racism can be mere generalization, something between 'speciesism' (different species have different characteristics) and 'familialism' (children share characteristics with their parents). In the USA, the real ('indigenous') Americans having been essentially genocided away, the population there is no longer an ethnicity. These real Americans were replaced by assorted imported/foreign ethnicities, 'European-Americans', 'African-Americans', 'Asians-Americans', etc. So, of course, in the USA, to recognize the validity of racial/ethnic characteristics is an issue, a political(?) one, a contentious one in any case ... becoming a taboo.

The United States of America is the only country ever (so far) to use nuclear WMDs on people.

They did so while under no danger whatsoever, on a country that was essentially surrendering, on cities full of civilians, unnecessarily, mass-murdering men, women and children by the hundreds of thousands.

US president Truman, the contemptible POS that ordered these grotesque acts of mass murder, is the ultimate 'War Criminal', and if he isn't one, then the term has no meaning.

Pitbulls are not everywhere.

They make up ~8% of the total U.S. dog population.

But they're responsible for the highest percentage of bites.

There's no getting around it, there's just something seriously wrong with pitbulls.

Ah, that makes sense.

Another illustration might be an American pit bull somehow getting a South Russian Ovcharka and a Caucasian Ovcharka (the 'bear dog') to fight each other.

The situation is mostly tragic for the Ukrainians and Russians, brothers killing each other, weakening themselves, to the benefit of foreign interests.

The conflict seemed unavoidable, almost since 2014, and certainly once the Zelensky regime planned to join NATO, a hostile (specifically anti-Russian) foreign military organization.

Sure, but given that American Pit Bull Terriers are responsible for most US dog attack fatalities, over 16 times higher than any other dog breed, you'd figure that that, not a German breed, would be the breed that AI would choose to represent the USA.

This is not specifically a Biden thing.

Both US parties serve the military-industrial complex and other shockingly corrupt financial interests and, therefore, allow the imperial ambitions of 'the Neocons'.

The main difference is one of style, where Republicans seem a tiny bit more direct, while Democrats, like Biden, tend to try to gaslight people all the way.

Other than that, it's a Coke vs Pepsi difference, ... both crappy corporate sugary drinks that are propped up by advertising/marketing, and pretty much equally bad for you.

Why is it hateful to consider modern dating and marriage to prostitution? by [deleted] in whatever

[–]HugodeCrevellier 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Both men and women feel sexual attraction.

But sex was invented for reproduction/perpetuation, as it were, and it's supposed to result in pregnancy.

Dating and marriage are designed to take this into account and to ultimately establish propitious conditions for the raising of a child/children, aka, a family.

Everything else, masturbation, abortion, prostitution, etc., represent the mere hedonistic pursuit of empty pleasures ... a dead end, literally.

Oh, I'd rather take my chances with the wolves and bears, for SURE.

So, there you have it.

But meat animals ARE food. Either for wolves and bears or for us. If we do it ethically, it's a much better thing.

For wolves and bears (or very rarely for us) humans also ARE food, are they not?

Imagine that, on such a basis, some people kill humans on an industrial scale, for profit, but explain that they ... 'do it ethically' ..., would you consider the ethical issue resolved?

Would even the claim to 'do it ethically' make sense?

What? You want to talk about natural living but not about eating animals?

The ethical issue of whether to hunt a free deer, once a month, to feed your family and self (reasonable/ethical unless they're endangered), changes once you're talking about the mass industrialized killing of cows, kept prisoner for life for that purpose, 'as product'.

The one may be considered sad but necessary, the other is grotesque.

Also, animals are not sentient. You don't know what the word means.

Yeah, no, I do, unlike, apparently, you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience

Bonus:

'Other animals, which, on account of their interests having been neglected by the insensibility of the ancient jurists, stand degraded into the class of things. [original emphasis] … The day has been, I grieve it to say in many places it is not yet past, in which the greater part of the species, under the denomination of slaves, have been treated … upon the same footing as … animals are still. The day may come, when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny. The French have already discovered that the blackness of skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor. It may come one day to be recognized, that the number of legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the ossacrum, are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason, or perhaps, the faculty for discourse?…the question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?'

So, the choice is between a natural, free and meaningful life, according to your nature, in a coherent group, with family and peers, travelling, breeding, evolving, under the sky, surrounded by trees and grass not metal and cement, but taking your chances, as there are dangers, wolves, bears, etc.,...

... and, on the other hand, 'life' as a commercial 'product', with all that it entails, e.g. having those that like feeding on you and/or making money from the 'meat industry'(!) explain that the industrialized dystopian nightmare they've set up for you is a good thing: 'no wolves!'

And it was probably also better for negroes to be raised in 'ethical' organic farms in the Americas than living a dangerous and diseased-ridden life in Africa, where there also was starvation and hyenas. :/

The irony of the USA's current imbecilic (and suicidal) anti-ethnic-European movement, using slavery as the main excuse, is that European 'white' civilization was not the main perpetrator of slavery. Instead, 'white' civilization was the one, the only one ever(?), to actually make slavery illegal, emancipating its slaves. It's also 'white' civilization that pressured all others to do as they have, which is why slavery is now rare.

Germany's scientists seem to have purposely slowed down their research on the weaponization of nuclear fission, itself a German discovery.

German physicists had, already in 1939, concluded that 'in principle atomic bombs could be made', but, Werner Heisenberg delayed and de-emphasized the possibility, as he 'did not want the Führer to get so interested that he would order great efforts immediately to make the atomic bomb'.

In September 1941, at the Heisenberg-Bohr meeting in Copenhagen, Werner Heisenberg asked Niels Bohr to ask scientists in the USA to also do as he had, to prevent 'grave consequences in the technique of war'.

When Bohr asked Heisenberg if a nuclear weapon was even possible, Heisenberg replied that he personally knew that it was. He even produced a drawing that showed how a reactor would produce the uranium or plutonium necessary to build an atom bomb. This was a very dangerous move, as it would have been considered treason.

Heisenberg furthermore informed Bohr that he was in a position to neutralize the German nuclear effort. But he also pleaded for Bohr to get 'Allied' scientists to do the same. He hoped that the international physics community could cooperate to spare the world of this horrendous weapon.

Bohr would have none of it. US teams pushed even harder to build the grotesque weapons of mass destruction. Once this was done, the USA would then use them on cities-full of civilians, women, children, etc., for no justifiable reason. The USA, far from desperate, was completely intact from the war, had suffered no civilian casualties, and was in no danger whatsoever.

Yes, generalizations are either accurate or ... not. All things being equal, inductive reasoning tends to create accurate generalizations. When some generalization is inaccurate and consistently wrong, it simply fades away, naturally.

Inaccurate generalizations need to be propped up by lies in order to survive. And that's, essentially, what e.g. Hollywood, advertising and other bullshit-manufacturing industries, do. They prop-up inaccurate generalizations and false narratives, presenting very rare exceptions as typical, and actual reality as never being the case.

As for 'liberals', being myself an actual liberal, I get annoyed when the term is used to refer to useful-idiots witlessly regurgitating government-corporate astroturf (in favour of compliance, censorship, disarming the citizenry, etc.), thinking that this is what 'liberalism' is.

Conservatism is not the opposite of liberalism, totalitarianism is.

All good points.

Adding my two cents:

'Racism' can be used to mean both hate and generalization ('they must all be killed' vs 'people sharing x characteristic seem to behave in x way').

Generalizing, using inductive reasoning, is an essential survival tool, as in ... 'child, avoid packs of hyenas!'

Denying people the right to use inductive reasoning condemns them to be stupid in an important way.

Also, in most countries in the world, xenophobia and racism are related, because states/countries tend to be nation-states.

But when a country consists of a brown soup of ethnicities, where the citizens are an amalgam of foreign-to-the-land peoples, well, then things get complicated.

Finally, I think that 'liberals' is a misnomer when used to describe those that are anything but liberal, especially when they exhibit totalitarian tendencies.

The Bell Curve: The most controversial book ever in science | Richard Haier and Lex Fridman by HugodeCrevellier in science

[–]HugodeCrevellier[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes.

They merely follow their professors, and academics like Dr Stephen Jay Gould, who seemed to act according to what was good for popularity, book sales, etc.

Though Gould was a scientist, his views on this were overtly political

Giving 'scientific' support to an upcoming (erroneous or not) ideology is a pretty good career move in any case.

And so, Gould wrote that the bell curve rests on 'four incorrect assumptions', that intelligence must be reducible to a single number, that it must be capable of rank ordering people in a linear order, that it must be primarily genetically based and that it must be essentially immutable.

But, as Haier suggests, to really understand this criticism, one should read the scientific evaluations of it, where it's shown to be invalid, re-establishing the validity of the (much maligned) bell curve data.

Nonetheless, you can find Gould's book, which is demonstrably wrong, in college bookshops ... under assigned(!) reading.

'It's highly popular, highly influential', this, a book that has been taken apart, point by point, by a number of people who actually understood the data.

But neither did Gould seem to care nor did the professors assigning his book.

So, what are the chances that the poor students can form a cogent understanding?

Today, for not complying with a promoted ideology, he'd similarly be banned/censored/cancelled.

Ironically, however, the currently promoted ideology is one that forces (as the only acceptable ones) views that are even more extreme than Hirschfeld's.

So if anyone today dares refer to sexual deviations (from typical/'normal' heterosexual practices) as 'deviant' (which, according to definition, they, simply, are), or as 'perversions', which they also are, again by definition, workeist neo-inquisitions will gag/ban them, preventing their 'hateful'(!?) words from being read by others, even by those who want to read them.

Book burnings are more symbolic than effective. Today's insidious 'wokequisitions' apply 'shadow'-bans, etc., on whole authors in general, not just some specific book of theirs. That's more effective than symbolic, and thus even more harmful to the free flow of ideas.

The primitive tribal deity in the 'Old Testament' is grotesque from its very inception.

Hellenism grew much more allegorical, with an interesting and useful mythology.

And Hellenists, importantly, were syncretic, accepting other cultures' own symbolic representations of the universal concepts they themselves celebrated.

One of the aspects of Judaism that made it necessarily evil is a foundational/dogmatic demand for hostility towards other cultures/religions.

This also infected Christianity, unfortunately, and Islam, condemning them all to be unethical, not to say murderous, basically by dogma.

Christianity is an amalgam , to begin with.

It consists of Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophical ideas, about a pure universal consciousness, 'The One', onto which was tacked (somehow!) a mythology surrounding some primitive tribal deity, 'Yahweh'.

The two conceptions are not just radically different, they're essentially incompatible.

And yet, in Christianity, they're conflated, with Christians unwittingly(?) associating the Platonic 'The One', a universal consciousness, with the mythology of some shockingly evil tribal deity from the Middle East.

The title is correct.

The targeted person for it is wrong however.

Elon Musk is perhaps the only billionaire that, rather than mere greed, seems to be driven by an actual vision for a better future for the humans of our civilization.

The keyword here is 'legal'.

Some legal immigration, a reasoned amount, can benefit a society in general, not just its business-owners.

It would certainly be better than the current situation, the blind eye towards the de facto out of control importation of masses of illegal immigrants, most of them unskilled drains on a host society (at best) and surprisingly many of them sociopaths, criminals, etc.
