GENIUS FORUMS

Eric, what do you think makes this awakening occur? At various times, I find that I forget the name of something. When I am talking about a famous movie, I may be able to describe parts of the movie but discover that the formal title escapes my memory. After an indeterminate period, the name clearl...

The left represents too great a decline to the Last Man - it has become utterly feminine rather than working for the working class person. They represent and support completely the weak non-disciplined 'anything goes' views of women. All the media I used to read, when I was sympathetic to the left,...

On a whimsical note, I'd like to disclose a bit of information about my background and hope to the gods that you guys won't be moronic enough to comment on its relevance or irrelevance to the thread. I'm an INTP, have parents of diverse Indian and Jewish ethnicity, and I come from a family of intel...

It seems to me that you are equating all variations as having equal magnitude or effect, which is extremely unlikely. The surest sign of dipshit alt-right text-chat crusaders is this utter inability to distinguish between generic syllogisms/categories and actual claims. In this case - little thing ...

.... - the fact that variance is greater *within* than *between* races is precisely why the properties asserted by racists to be indicative of broader differences are in fact not so. It seems to me that you are equating all variations as having equal magnitude or effect, which is extremely unlikely...

There were matches of Futsal, which is a modified version of soccer. ... So, have we now created spaces where Australians no longer feel comfortable or participate? Is this multiculturalism, one nation, or is this multiple nations in one? For the sake of a counter argument: statistically it's perha...

Rhett: The Totality is happening, its a brute fact. Concepts .... can be added... Diebert: We're not there to know. 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: Whatever...

I will catch up to any responses soon. I just want to add some recent experiences. Yesterday, i happenned to have a chat to a woman between the age of 23 and 30. She told me that the last full time job she had was when she was 16. Since then she has been on contracts, and in recent years they have b...

David: I never used to be anti-right. I used to see the value of conservatism acting as a brake on progressive reform. Too much reform, performed too quickly, rarely works out well for society. But over the past couple of decades the right has changed beyond all recognition. It has jumped the shark...

Rhett: But after decades of excessive immigration and other policies, Australia has a lessened sense of identity. It has less of a culture. It no longer has a vision for the future, how we are going to make it better. People arent as invested in it anymore. If it goes bad or gets worse people will ...

David, I generally concur with Diebert's comments. I never used to be anti-right. I used to see the value of conservatism acting as a brake on progressive reform. Too much reform, performed too quickly, rarely works out well for society. But over the past couple of decades the right has changed beyo...

These days i find the left more racist than the right. The left is more anti-white than the right is pro-white. The left is pushing narratives and enacting policies that are explicitly racist or have a race effect. They are unfairly criticising, threatening, attacking, and undermining white people, ...

Rhett wrote: On the topic of Greta, she seems an incredible person. Unfortunately, she has been misguided by others on the topic of veganism, and is going against science, and risking her physical and mental development. David wrote: I think she’s fine. If other 16-year-olds can get by on a diet of...

David wrote: I detect a lot of cognitive dissonance in your words, and these three paragraphs, taken together, represent one example of it. I dont see that, and you havent explained your position, so i have nothing to respond to. Rhett wrote: As someone that is pro environmentalism and pro evolutio...

On the topic of China, the first step is to have a solid look at what China represents. China is much more against freedom of speech than the west. One example, i know someone that moved to China, and i thought great, i can get his first hand impressions of the place. Well, he immediately responded ...

On the topic of Greta, she seems an incredible person. Unfortunately, she has been misguided by others on the topic of veganism, and is going against science, and risking her physical and mental development. Its interesting that she is criticising many people that follow nutritional science but not ...

Hi David, Nice to catch up. I havent had contact with Kelly for years, unfortunately. She tried to impose her own agenda, this webspaces agenda, into my personal sphere at a time when i had repeatedly expressed to her that i had other things i needed/wanted to focus on. She seemingly overreacted to ...

I posit that A=A.

And, that following from that, 'Consciousness = Consciousness'.

Even our "present" is a construct created with the sense of passing time. It's more like a special case of the past, one that is in such a recent memory that we cannot tell exactly how far back it is or which element of the experience is formed how long ago exactly. Think of losing perspe...

The present is a remanifestation of the past, and the future will be a remanifestation of the present. The past no longer exists, and the future is yet to exist. Time travel is impossible because only the present exists. In the present, there can be imaginings and thoughts, along the lines of, 'this...

Doing the science, reading the science, accepting the science, working with what the science says, is the best way to help disadvantaged groups. If policymakers and voters dont understand generalised racial groupings, if they dont understand the why and how of any disadvantage, they are disrespectin...

Diebert, Trump realises that whether he is right or wrong, most people dont fact check and rely on certain cues. If you make sure you are the last man standing, you win. Whether people think the last man standing is right or not, they see him as the strongest, the one in control, and the one that wi...

Jupiviv, responding to you is hard work because you keep creating and attacking strawman's. Your responses generally arent a response to what i have written. Are you proposing that all humans alive today have essentially the same DNA architecture, that even though groups have differences in the way ...

Jupiviv, you come across as having so many interactive flaws that i dont think its worth my time to engage with you on this topic.

These days i am seeing two poles, people that call any distinction regarding culture, religion or DNA as racist, if they so choose, and people that say there is no such thing as race and therefore no such thing as racism. I dont see value in either of these. There are no sane people who believe eit...
