It makes me sad to think that this poor guy probably imagines that he has good intentions.

Just as everybody thinks they themselves are not personally affected by corporate marketing and advertising (yeah, corporations are stupid to spend billions on it! :/), he likely thinks that he arrived at his views all on his own ... and that he wasn't instead manipulated/pressured into this level of imbecility by the sociopaths and their copromedia.

Are you here because Reddit banned you? by TheBlackSun in AskSaidIt

[–]HugodeCrevellier 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes.

I used to love Reddit and spent/wasted much time on it.

But then things got less and less organic, i.e. they seemed more and more manipulated/bot-ified? And their mods just went full woketard: To lie became mandatory. To tell objectively true facts became a 'bannable offence'. At this point on that site, unless you submit to agreeing with all kinds of complete bullshit (e.g. that a man pretending to be a woman is in fact a woman), you get diagnosed with some 'phobia' and/or labelled a 'hater' and then, of course, you get banned by some opinion-control inquisitors.

Sorry but ... nope.

Homer expressed a similar thought through Achilles and the choice before him:

Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold.
Not all Apollo's Pythian treasures hold,
Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway,
Can bribe the poor possession of a day!

Lost herds and treasures we by arms regain,
And steeds unrivall'd on the dusty plain:
But from our lips the vital spirit fled,
Returns no more to wake the silent dead.

My fates long since by Thetis were disclosed,
And each alternate, life or fame, proposed;
Here, if I stay, before the Trojan town,
Short is my date, but deathless my renown:
If I return, I quit immortal praise
For years on years, and long–extended days...

The St Louis Fair had 'a darker side'? :)

In any case, that the St Louis Fair should show 'types of mankind from many continents' does say 'mankind', making it thus accurate.

And African 'Pigmies' did and do exist and so did 'Head-hunters' in South-East Asia. And Ainu men did grow tremendously long beards. And as for 'dog-eaters', they did and still exist today in East Asia.

Now, the issue with human zoos was exactly the same issue that still exists with animal zoos, namely the removal of beings from their environment, to move and place them in artificial settings to be gawked at. But that Anthropology mapped humans on a greyscale from primitive to civilized is not crazy considering that Europeans were at the time discovering unquestionably primitive humans still living naked in the stone-age. Finally, religious imbeciles notwithstanding, that humans evolved from ape-like hominids is also an unquestionable fact.

Science is by method always tentative and many early anthropological theories were not complete nor fully correct. But that there exist morphological differences between (pre-'diversification') European Swedes, African Pigmies, Australian aborigines and East-Asian Ainus is not all mean-minded and unscientific. It's the current push to deny these that's dogmatically unscientific. Woke (this time) imbeciles notwithstanding, that human types do exist is similarly unquestionable.

This "documentary' is ironically closer to a P. T. Barnum version of 'history'. It's closer to catering to current sensationalist dogmata than to actual history. It does so by e.g. reversing the sequence of events and having show-people influencing the scientists, not the other way around (show-people commercializing scientists' hypotheses and pushing them to sensationalist absurdity), etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Very good points, all.

There are two paths ahead for future societies and generations, one dystopic, the other eutopic (as in good, the opposite of dystopic).

Some random-seeming but somewhat relevant thoughts:

Remember that humans live in communities/societies and only by organizing can they hope to improve their future, which is why individualism and being divided (by identity nonsense) is so harmful.

A governmental system of checks and balances seems to be able, at least for a while, to keep things equitable and prevent any one group, i.e. plutocrats, from gaining too much power.

Feudalism could only end, ironically thanks to automation, after inexpensive books and guns became widely available to citizens.

It seems essential to try and avoid the privatized cornering of AI and to ensure universal public access to it.

A problem today is not science of course (that's rather the solution to it), but it is 'scientists' that will disregard observation+reason in order to submit to some ideological (and non-scientific) heterodoxy.

By 'typology', I'm of course referring to its use in anthropology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typology_(anthropology).

Finally, would you agree that typology applies to humans or do you hold that it needs to be denied when humans are concerned?

"The misuse of science to promote racism is no longer just a sad relic of our history, it’s also an uncomfortable part of out present.”

It's rather the other way around.

It's science and scientific thinking that gives rise to typology. And it's unscientific careerism that makes many/most current 'scientists' (by name misnomer only) submit to woke dogmata denying the existence of human types. How else can we explain managing not to notice differences between human groups, nor similarities within them ... not being able to determine any types whatsoever when observing e.g. (pre-'diversification') European Swedes, African Pigmies, Australian aborigines, etc?

We seem to currently be going through a climate of oppression in enforcing an orthodoxy that's reminiscent of Galileo's plight ... but by use of more subtle 'soft power'.

Incidentally, in terms of unhealthy crap being offered, the other[s], of the handful of food-cartel corporations that peddle almost all 'food' products, are no better.

There's a tendency to dismiss the creative brilliance of a group of people and to instead assign their brilliance to economic factors:

Materialist conception of history

Inspired by Enlightenment thinkers, especially Condorcet, the utopian socialist Henri de Saint-Simon (1760–1825) formulated his own materialist interpretation of history, similar to those later used in Marxism, analyzing historical epochs based on their level of technology and organization and dividing them between eras of slavery, serfdom, and finally wage labor. According to the socialist leader Jean Jaurès, the French writer Antoine Barnave was the first to develop the theory that economic forces were the driving factors in history.

Right, so, if you give some bread or beer to chimps, they become civilized!

But seriously, of course not.

This is materialist (Marxist-like) nonsense.

The brilliance of some people, who also happened to drink wine not beer, created civilization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meat is crucial for human health, scientists say as they call for end to the 'zealotry' pushing vegetarian and vegan diets by [deleted] in whatever

Nonsense!

Vegetarians and Vegans are just a small minority of humans who're bothered by the hypocrisy of saying 'I love animals, etc.,' on the one hand, while, on the other, financing an industry of nightmarish torture and death for the sentient beings one claims to ... 'love'?!

The two things are simply incompatible.

Have you never wondered whether it's not instead the 'meat industry' (just think of the horrors hiding behind these two terms together) pushing narratives, having brainwashed people (since pre-rational childhood) into ridiculing the vegetarian 'zealotry'?

Watch the 'Earthlings' documentary about this, instead of yet another McDonald's commercial, if, of course, you can stomach the implication of what you've been made to cheerlead.

2,000 Year Old Computer - Decoding the Antikythera Mechanism by [deleted] in Documentaries

It is (controversially) estimated that when the mother of emperor Constantine convinced her son to make her ('Christian') cult into the official Religion of the Roman Empire(!), this resulted in a set of events that would set civilization back at least one thousand years ... a whole fucking millennium!

Hellenism ended and is sometimes (also controversially) estimated (Wikipedia notwithstanding) to have ended with the murder of Hypatia by a Christian mob. This was a woman(!) scholar, scientist and philosopher and the head of the Platonic School of Alexandria. And she was gruesomely murdered by an imbecilic superstitious mob for being ... 'a witch'!

A religion with dark primitive tribal elements would slowly become law in the Roman Empire, ... making people more and more superstitious and dogmatic ... thus stopping short previous advancements in philosophy/science.

And such people would of course view with fear the technological marvels of Hellenism, like the Antikythera Mechanism, considering them magical and devilish and wanting to destroy them ... as they did so many statues and more ... which is why, though the Antikythera Mechanism was mass-produced, only this one badly corroded example survived, which was saved, ironically enough, by a shipwreck!

Now, if one doesn't like it, they can always get the fuck out of England but they don't get to tell its owners what to do.
