I agree he is a bit too old, however I don't think that will be enough for him to lose, unless he has some kind of health crisis. Trump is nearly Biden's age, so this criticism is not strong.

Cause I'm awesome! I don't even need psychedelics any more, I can just take a few droplets of THC under the tongue and I'm walking around like a hyper-intelligent alien saint. 2 drops of THC produce a higher state of mind than a 2 week meditation retreat.

A balance is obviously needed. But if your socialization is of such a low-grade as you describe, then little is lost in skipping out on it. Either socialize less or find better people to socialize with. Quality over quantity.

How is banning Kanye an honoring of free speech? You free speech warriors are full of shit.

The core contradiction of communism/socialism is that it assumes that people generate roughly equal amounts of work and value. This is grossly untrue. It also assumes that people are ready to be selfless in their economic dealings, which is also grossly untrue. Capitalism works simply because it is realistic about the selfish nature of current humans. For communism to work mankind would have to be orders of magnitude more developed and selfless than we are right now. Communism might work after 1000 more years of human development. Check out The Great Courses, they have some fantastic courses on the history of communism and its failures. Here's but one: https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/communism-in-power-from-stalin-to-mao A communist system cannot make society fairer than it currently is because the unfairness of society comes from human selfishness. And a communist system does nothing to fundamentally cure that, it merely tries to impose selflessness from above via ideology and state control, which cannot lead to true selflessness. The levels of selflessness necessary to make communism work can only be achieved through intense spiritual development -- meanwhile communism is atheistic, materialistic, and rejects spirituality. So it fundamentally cannot work. The best we can do right now is social democracy as in Scandinavia, but even that is hard to achieve because people are so damn selfish.

This situation is a bit like a black person complaining about racism when a cop catches him stealing a TV from a broken shop window. Racism can exist, but in this case, the arrest is justified and the cry of racism is just an excuse. So you have to look at whether the shadowbans are well-justified, not merely that they exist. For example, many of these right-wing accounts probably have made posts like, "Climate change is a hoax" or "Covid is a plandemic", or "Why do Jews run the world?", or "Trans is a mental illness", or "Gays should be converted to straight", or "Trump won the election", etc. Which violates terms of service and basic empirical reality. They make such posts and then cry about not being treated equally. Of course not all ideas cannot be treated equally because some ideas are really harmful and dangerous. The core problem is that right-wingers are in denial that some of their fave ideas are harmful and dangerous. Good luck getting them to understand that. -
It certainly is for me. I can reach God-mode with one droplet of vaporized THC. I can be as conscious on a few droplets of THC as I can on 5-MeO-DMT. But THC lasts 4x longer.

This is a deep topic that would require a video to explain. Communism did not fail because capitalism sabotaged it. It failed from its own internal contradictions. Study the hisotry of communism and you will see.

If they ban it, someone will just create a US based clone, so the only thing this will fix is Chinese spying.

Why are you even talking to people in class? I don't remember talking to anyone in Uni. I went to lectures and then went home.

This could be the biggest curveball of the 2024 election. There is a small chance that Trump loses so much support that DeSantis ends up on top. I think it's a long-shot, but it's possible. And if it's DeSantis vs Biden, that is a very dangerous situation as DeSantis has a strong chance of beating Biden.

I have something like 2.5%+ Neanderthal DNA. The idea that Neatherthals were less morally developed than humans is silly and likely the opposite of the truth. For all we know Neatherthals could have been saintly, but they were all killed by the evil homo sapiens. Maybe it's not the Neatherthal DNA that makes you a racist, but your homo sapien DNA. After all, we don't know for sure if the Neanderthals were racist, but we know for sure most humans are. Neatherthals had bigger brains than humans. -
@actually Bro, you can't just paste someone else's blog post here without even quotes, a link, or author's name.

Bad idea. Biden will not be running against DeSantis, but Trump. Who he already beat handily, and Trump is weaker than ever.

Re: Destiny debate: Of course race realism is downgraded by the algorithm, because it overlaps with racism by like 90%. Of course social media platforms downgrade topics which have a high potential for being hateful, racist, sexist, disinforming, etc. The problem is that conservatives, by virtue of having lower overall cognitive and moral development, are naturally drawn to retrograde ideas which are harmful, toxic, and dangerous, which normal decent people don't want to hear about. But these conservatives are too self-biased to understand this. So they whine about it. But that's like a racist whining that his philosophy isn't given equal treatment to Buddhism. Not shit. Because Buddhism is healthy and racism is toxic. They are not supposed to be treated equally. That's not a bug, that's a feature. But if you're a racist, you are incapable of understanding that. -

Using someone's face in a critic video is fair use. Has this guy ever watched the news?? People are accused of all sorts of things with pics of their face. And he is a Google engineer? Lol Bro, this is the internet. People will accuse you of everything under the sun, including pedophilia. Lex has bad character? Lol This Google dude is a snowflake. Makes Google look bad. -
Years. I only used it a handful of time.

@Razard86 Yeah, that was a very bad example.

The only way to Game B is through Game A. So here we are. You cannot get to Game B just by talking about it. You gotta kill some people. All I'm saying is that the system will correct itself.
