  1. I have some issues regarding the vMEME Green PC Culture... I understand their intent, and I see it as valid, but I think they undervalue how arbitrary language is: language is very subjective to our own biases and partial perceptions about life and reality, both on an individual and on a collective level, so that we could conceptualize (and compartmentalize) it with words, its not universal, but it helps to keep the show running... we cannot centralize "it" into words, because these are derived from the "experiencing" of a thing, which requires none...we can deal with these language-games only as they emerge from our "periphery of vision" so to speak... To become dogmatic about the correct use of language is inherently contradictory... but you can certainly improve it, and that is why I think it can be valid.
  2. This video is a very good one
  3. "The turks have such a formidable army that, if they were baptized Christians, it would be just like us..." said one of the crusaders (vMEME Blue ethnocentrism)
  4. Very well produced documentary describing how life is like as a vMEME Blue Knight in the Middle Ages
  5. vMEME Purple rituals applied to 21st century modern society
  6. The PC Babies: making things fun and gender neutral (vMEME Green Mockery)
  7. Emergence and Complexity Theory P.S: ants are not stupid!?
  8. Even though the dictators themselves are at vMEME Red, the reason why they rise into power is because they adjust their rhetoric in a way that appeals to vMEME Blue law-abiding working class, which generally consists the largest portion of the social body.
  9. "Calcio Fiorentino (also known as calcio storico "historic football") is an early form of football (soccer and rugby) that originated during the Middle Ages in Italy. Once widely played, the sport is thought to have started in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. There it became known as the gioco del calcio fiorentino ("Florentine football game") or simply calcio, which is now also the name for association football in the Italian language. The game may have started as a revival of the Roman sport of harpastum. Interest in Calcio waned in the early 17th century. However, in 1930 it was reorganized as a game in Kingdom of Italy, under Benito Mussolini. It was widely played by amateurs in streets and squares using handmade balls of cloth or animal skin."

  10. Metal is a strange loop?
  11. Leo Gura (metal version)?
  12. Husserl is great, I love his work. I would also put Martin Heidegger on that list as well.
  13. Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Materialism-Baloney-Skeptics-Everything/dp/1782793623 And watch these videos: Materialism seems very consistent because our current model of reality is very biased towards appearences(sensory based and/or changing of properties), and they replicate that by running experiments that validates with the data already agreed upon. And that sense of consistency creates an ad hoc problem, because materialism tries to look at the world from a third person objective perspective, without taking in consideration their own biases, which is largely influenced by the cultural meme of the time, and projects it out to the world, which creates a "corruption" from within the scientific method between the scientist and his experiment.
  14. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sérgio_Vieira_de_Mello "Sérgio Vieira de Mello ( 15 March 1948 – 19 August 2003) was a Brazilian United Nations diplomat who worked on several UN humanitarian and political programs for over 34 years. The Government of Brazil posthumously awarded the Sergio Vieira de Mello Medal to honor his legacy in promoting sustainable peace, international security and better living conditions for individuals in situations of armed conflict, challenges to which Sergio Vieira de Mello had dedicated his life and career. He was killed in the Canal Hotel bombing in Iraq along with 20 other members of his staff on 19 August 2003 while working as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and United Nations Special Representative for Iraq. Before his death, he was considered a likely candidate for UN Secretary-General." Wikipedia
  15. The first story is a very good example of vMEME Red police brutality and corruption in underdeveloped countries
  16. This video is really a test of radical open mindedness that @Leo Gura was talking about... I must admit that I got very confused by the owner's message and his business model.
  17. The hipocrisy of having to keep everybody living the vMEME Orange "American Way of Life" while preserving the vMEME Blue ethnocentrism and segregation of people of color...
