  1. https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/01/medieval-history-why-are-the-middle-ages-often-characterized-as-dark-or-less-civilized.html
  2. I think we are like computers we have to find the right routine, habit, algorithm, system to function properly.
  3. What is the number for the black guy and for the white guy? Are they the same? Anyway this is one way to talk about the responsibility problem.
  4. I think it is on the coconut island. When you are first are these 23 coconuts your property?
  5. I am not talking about the law actually. More about a guy talking about responsibility regarding a case. Like let us say you could rate rittenhouse's responsibility for the killing from 1-10. Same might be done with my example. One could also use a real case btw.
  6. I thought about a situation where a black guy kills another person with intent. Let us say it is an average murder case. Let us say his upbringing is a 3. The range is between one and ten. Let us say we are talking about this in the forum. How much responsibility do we give him for his acts? Range from 1 to 10? Let us say the same situation for the a white guy. What is his responsibility number?
  7. Alden's number is producing the Flynn effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect#Possible_end_of_progression
  8. I think more people should work with the coconut analogy
  9. Just maybe because I do not think it is trolling
  10. This stuff has been told by every snake oil sailesmen forever. At least this one is more entertaining: The Barbarian - LIVER KING
  11. I wonder when a black person kills somebody how much responsibility does he have like how much percentage? Or is it wrong to ask that question?
  12. Here Vaush my favorite grifter on personal responsibility Does The Left Ignore Personal Responsibility? Centrist Comes on to Debate
  13. Vaush is an exception here. Youtube it with other leftists you will not get much results. The reason Vaush deals with it because it became so popular in the underground mainstream that he had to address it. The way he addressed it was hey it is all socoio-economical and racism of gaps. Case closed. Additionally Vaush is an optics guy. He is a moral relativist. So hard to take him serious. Check Destiny vs. Vaush. It is like Tucker Carlson saying stuff against billionaires and big tech companies and siding with blue collar workers. You can not take it too serious.
  14. Exactly. It becomes then awkward when they have friends who are centrists like with Destiny and David Pakman. Btw then you have the special brand of leftists like Jimmy Dore. That is a weird one.
  15. This forum has a left bias. So talking about stuff that can be perceived as right wing talking points can get you banned. That is why centrist guys here do not post stuff like that. Leftist guys do self censoring. You can not tell the truth in the wrong context. So being dishonest is the honest thing to do because you do not want to hurt your cause.
  16. It is not a blindspot. Many are aware of it but chose not to talk about it too much because it is against the forum culture.
  17. But it makes sense form a survival point of view to have hopium.
  18. I posted Hegel so the thread has reached some level I guess.
  19. I think left leaning guys are more in team Hegel
  20. Good effort to give advice is not always a bad thing. In most cases even that is not given. People get bullied.
  21. If you are in a bad situation you have to expect worst case scenarios. Sometimes you will not get help even if you morally deserve it. So sometimes your only choice is to invest in yourself.
  22. I found this history chart but no explanation to it. Joe is ready for war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KCUA6AD6xg
  23. This is then CD - Circular Dynamics for the right wing.
