GENIUS FORUMS

Looking into the underlying psychology of Rhett’s post, one can observe how the romantic/mythical aspects of fascism come to be embraced. A once-dominant race staring bleakly into its own demise, impotent to do anything about the gradual tide of reality slowly eating away at its own power base, tri...

The wealth of evidence is that caucasians overall make the world a better place for everyone, over and above the contributions of other races. Have a look at the colonies. Hong Kong is a much better place than China. South Africa was heavily impacted by tribal wars and was very undeveloped, now its ...

I vaguely heard that abortion was a current topic point, so i conducted a couple of polls on political discussions forums to find out how far people wanted that choice to go. A chunk of respondents said they supported the choice to abort up to the point of birth. So i sought to clarify that further,...

All i have seen so far is a heap of action taken by Trump against China's trade war, and there are interesting possible developments regarding the USA-Hong Kong Policy Act. https://youtu.be/g7VIeykAxsE https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china-idUSKBN1WM1DW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...

My impression is that a significant proportion of women are pro choice regarding abortion. But, they arent saying they want to kill their baby, they are saying, they want someone else to kill their baby. If those same women were given the ability to safely kill their own baby, would they do it? Even...

Hey Diebert, i think the above was accidentally posted in the wrong thread.

The USA does not have an equivalent to Tibet, Hong Kong or Taiwan. It does not have hundreds of thousands of video cameras with facial recognition technology and AI algorithms pointed at its populace. It does not have a social (dis)credit system. It does not punish people in any way for criticising ...

I have seen a video where Jordan rightfully points out that equality of outcome is logically flawed. For example, when Usain Bolt held the title of fastest runner in competition, how and why should we aim to make everyone run equally as fast? How can it be seen as fair to take away Usain's deserved ...

As i have stated, i dont see the current situation as being about how bad Trump is relative to a good person, but how good America is relative to China. https://asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/China-is-weaponizing-water-and-worsening-droughts-in-Asia?n_cid=NARAN185&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=inf...

I notice the previous Jordan Peterson thread is in the Genius Forum. I dont think Jordan is enlightened, or specifically leading people towards enlightenment. I think he belongs in Worldly Matters. So i would like my thread to stay here as it is. So far i have looked at the first ten or so posts in ...

Thanks. I will read through the thread and get back to you.

I recently discovered Jordan Peterson, a Canadian 'superstar' academic lecturer clinical psychologist. I have watched a few videos of him and havent disagreed with a single point so far. Its quite remarkable.

Rhett: "African", is human characteristics, is DNA based, is a group, is a race concept. It is not "racist" to make these distinctions, to conduct studies, or to talk about such differences in an appropriate manner and context. Jupiviv: Ah yes the old define "African" ...

Diebert: Your definition of Totality is a concept right? And if it's experience, there's still the experiencer by logical necessity unless you cleverly hide. Rhett: Well, if you think the experience and the experiencer are separate from each other, how do you experience both? Diebert: When I wrote ...

Rhett: The post above looks like a lot of mudslinging. I dont see it saying anything about Trump, but i couldnt bring myself to read all of it. Does it even really say anything about the right, or the far right? I think its typically a low brow act for people to align themself to any group. Odds ar...

I think a major factor is that social media has given everyone a voice, people that in the past didnt write or discuss much are now exploring activism. Plus, they think that there is power in such activism, and if they dont participate or win arguments they will lose out.

Pam: Infinite thinkers, by contrast, are not distracted by false thoughts of 'other', instead they are ever seeking new opportunities to cause forms. Solving the issues of climate change is an ideal opportunity for form-making. This is why logical thinkers belong to the ACT group (i.e., they act 'p...

If you can point me to an area of the right-wing universe that is not dominated by deception, paranoia and fear, please do so. I haven't come across any such area thus far. I would really like an answer to this. Anybody else care to give it a go? Is there an area of the right, somewhere, that isn't...

This should probably go in a new thread. That's a good point. If the world was just filled with people who were exactly like me, then as a species we would be truly fucked. No question about that. We do need variety and ideally it would nice if all kinds of people could access the highest wisdom. Pu...

All study outside of philosophy, outside of the logical realm, is by nature empirical, of a scientific nature. It is contextual, and it is based on limited information. As change occurs, and as greater data is gathered, some things will be affirmed, and some things will be lessenned. There can be tr...

The real rebate is between two groups: 1. A confident, non-political group that believes technology, informed investments, rational decision making, and the use of the best scientific information will lead to a solution of the global warming issue. An optimistic group that sees global warming as a ...

Rhett: When people make racial groupings, they are doing it on the basis of observable DNA based characteristics. Jupiviv: All characteristics of life are DNA based. Rhett: So, you acknowledge that when we make racial groupings, when we say that, for instance, 'Those people over there are African',...

Rhett: The Totality is happening, its a brute fact. Concepts .... can be added... Diebert: We're not there to know. Rhett: Who is not where? The Totality is all encompassing. To claim a thing or location to be outside of the Totality would be to contradict the definition of the Totality. Diebert: Y...
