  1. @Exystem Thanks. Glad you liked it.
  2. This is BS. Someone who shoots civilians and is Stage Red is not going to follow codes of conduct.
  3. Of course, but they could argue they are targetting enemy combatants. Look, I know they engage in devilry too.
  4. It's not the same. Israel does some war crimes and sloppy bombing, but that s not the same as terrorism, taking hostages, shooting indiscriminate rockets at cities, etc. It is not necessary to make this conflation for you to advocate for Palestinian rights. It doesn't help your cause to exaggerate.
  5. Textbook example of a strawman and poisoning the well. How many JP fans could articulate what PM is and what core philosophical insights it's based on? Or the limitations of modernism?
  6. "Legitimate" is relative and socially constructed I am not claiming that Hamas should not fight Israel. But Hamas does use terrorist tactics.
  7. You don't know what I know. I wasn't assuming. If you did any decent amount of research into how such groups operate you would know that everything I said is uncontroversial and obvious. Don't BS us. Hamas are terrorists and proudly so. Every terrorist group fancies itself as legit military resistance fighting for a noble cause and justice. Hamas are not unique in this. Ha. When I say they make millions that does not mean they do so for personal luxury per se (although of course they do), they do it first and foremsot because a terrorist organization requires tens of millions to sustain its members and activities. Terrorism/military is expensive. No war can be won without moucho $$$$$.
  8. You don't need to try to capture God. You are he. God has no difficulty speaking about himself by any number of linguistic schemes. Meow.
  9. It's just not a serious danger in a developed nation. The real serious danger is our epistemic ecosystem getting so flooded with shit that people think a perfecty legit election was stolen or that a serious pandemic is a government plot to control you. Half of Americans are drowning in so much toxic bullshit that they are eager to reelect a narccistic lecherous glutonus neo-fascist rapist criminal conartist traiter -- thinking this will magically improve our situation.
  10. It's very simple: create a career for yourself that earns you decent money and then let go of chasing after money beyond that. Make enough to live well and then focus on the truly meaningful things.
  11. But does that cat know it's a cat?
  12. Yes, and that infinity is inside all the other infinities. It's an infinite hall of mirrors.
  13. @Davino Good to hear. Part 2 will be juicier and deeper. Part 1 was just the bog-standard intro stuff.
  14. By the time they put that in USB form your files will transfer at 250mb/min.
  15. Brother, that's how society has always been for 10,000 years. People in power get to make those calls. And they can lose their jobs and lives for it. That's the tacit bargain. There cannot be some magic perfect system. And corruption, error, and bias will always be at play. That's why we have elections.
  16. I will only agree to that if I see cases of healthy, intelligent, honest discourse being censored in meaninful quantity. I am not going to be tricked into opening the floodgates for right-wing racism, intellectual dishonesty, conspiracy nonsense, and propaganda. What the right-wing is really complaining about is being blocked from polluting the epistemic ecosystem. That's what all this whining about "censorship" is really about. Which is why I do not take it seriously. It's bad faith. A bully crying that he's not allowed to bully.
  17. Money is pure distilled survival. Money is survival moonshine
  18. The left has been targetted by the CIA and FBI for 80 years. This is nothing new for the left. Facebook is the least of the left's problems.
  19. How about you body analyze Trump's torrent of verbal diarrhea?
  20. That's the perfect example of trash content. Literally Hunter's dick pics.
  21. And ya'll act like civilization is gonna collapse because Zuckerberg down-ranked some unhinged racist conspiracy theories and censored some child porn. What social media companies censor is the worst forms of trash-intelligence content. The most worthless and toxic information. Anything intelligent that is actually said is not censored.
  22. God is white but black from the waist down.
  23. Another profound way to see God is as Infinitely Holographic. Every part of Infinity contains a whole Infinity inside it, and is itself part of a larger Infinity. Infinities all the way down -- and up.
  24. @Rafael Thundercat You can't be a PM Wizard until you see the whole series. Only then are you ready to face Darth Peterson.
