It's not just 'the left''s pro-war stance that's peculiar.

Did you ever imagine that it would e.g. push for corporate control of information,
wanting sociopathic greed-driven businesses deciding what people get to read or not?

The current 'left' seems to be marketing-agency astroturf

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.

If only the stupid just took themselves out ... instead of trying to drag the whole society down with them.

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...

[–]HugodeCrevellier 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

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.

Nonetheless, there must be some hesitancy even towards saidit.
This is partly due to a certain lack of transparency about who owns/controls it.
Let's not forget that privatizing digital town squares
was done to bypass actual freedom of speech.

Eventually, a non-privately/corporately owned platform,
a publicly-owned platform, really analogous to a town square,
has to eventually be created,
where, by law and to the extent allowed by law,
e.g. freedom of speech, is implemented.

Sincere political views by actual people must be protected,
and only taken away if someone is caught shilling, spamming, advertising,
and/or committing other forms of lying for pay.

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.

An important aspect of the USA and French revolutions
is that mass-production allowed the people
to basically have the same weapons (guns) as governments
and there were far more people than government mercenaries (police/army, etc), so ...

Before that, the expense and widescale unavailability of armour and quality weaponry
meant that e.g. a team of ten armoured knights on horseback could decimate entire villages of villeins,
something that helped prop-up feudalism.

We do now seem to be moving back towards some neo-feudal (but high-tech) situation.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't say that revolutions, or resistance to tyranny, has zero to do with violence.

Yet another 'Swedish' issue.

Apparently, Europe, especially Nordic Europe,
must ... 'diversify'.

Gods forbid it should remain civilized.

More generally, current nations/ethnicities must all be turned into
a huge pile of (brown, 2-digit-IQ, etc.) monotypic, monocultural, generic, 'humans'.

Making all differences disappear is what 'diversity' should all be about, isn't it?

And there's no danger that this might allow some sociopathic 'elite' (so to speak)
to easily manipulate and eventually enslave humanity.

No, of course not! :/

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.

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.

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'.

As a general rule, the USA, starting out as a European colony, got most of its ideas from Europe.

However, after the WWII destruction of Europe,
its US and USSR occupiers (and their European stooges)
literally outlawed many of the competing ideas/ideals/ideologies in Europe.

Basically, the same thing that was done to European Art was done to European Ideas.

Ugliness, stupidity and primitivism were now the only allowed/promoted movements
and anything classical/European was to be despised.

To become a celebrated artist or thinker in occupied Europe,
you had to abide by the new rules ...
something that, unfortunately, is still going on.

There are laws about immigration.

These were broken.

So much harm has been done by those (morons/cowards/criminals?)
that (unwittingly?) colluded with Europe-hating forces
to bypass these laws and enable/encourage illegal immigration into Europe,
basically to try to turn Europe into yet another shithole.

Every one of them should be found and indicted.
They should at the very least be fired.
They're either too stupid or too corrupt to be left in charge of anything.

You're, unfortunately, right.

And censorship is never used to defend the truth,
since the truth never needed censors/inquisitors.

Censorship is always used to protect some bullshit

I'm not the one pretending to challenge his arguments,
nor, certainly, spewing labels and insults,
including, ironically, about what a moron he is.

'The rest of the information' that you linked,
i.e. about gases other than CO2,
methane (CH4), at 0.01%, constitutes even (and much) less than CO2,
and as for Nitrous Oxide and/or CFCs, their percentages are even tinier, as in minuscule,
i.e parts per billion of the atmosphere.
The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere seems to be ... water vapour.

And the CO2 part of the NASA thing you quote and link says

'carbon dioxide (CO2) is released through natural processes (like volcanic eruptions) and through human activities'.

Fine, so, what Mr Jones claims is that
the anthropogenic (human activities) portion
of the (0.04%) CO2 part of the atmosphere
constitutes merely 3% of that 0.04%,
meaning that natural processes contribute 97% of it,
i.e. of the 0.04% part of the atmosphere that is CO2.

Now, many/most policies currently being proposed
aim at curbing anthropogenic carbon production,
at great costs to societies/taxpayers/people
and great profits to the corporations positioned to 'solve the problem',
all the while ignoring that 97% of CO2 production is not anthropogenic.

So, his concerns seem arguably valid, IF his numbers are correct.
