  1. Hmm .. but how can you be so certain? That’s my main question. Unless you surveyed/experienced every man in existence, this could possibly be a generalization on your part.
  2. Maybe. But you have to remember most people voted for Trump ideological grounds, economic variables are often secondary. Hallmark of low perspective:
  3. Conservatives would like to fear monger you about these things to distract you from their bullshit and corruption. Don’t make the mistake of falling into right wing narratives about such things. Not all of it is identity politics. Right wingers place more emphasis into identity politics than liberals/leftist- be it in the form of white Christian nationalism, being a true patriot, fighting against immigrants, the nuclear family, etc The whole MAGA brand is based in identity politics. This is all crude and distasteful stuff
  4. no easy solutions to mass political ignorance of American voting bloc. Much of it has to do with how corrupt mass media / social media is in shaping epistemology and political discourse. Mis information will only get worse under Trump
  5. Well .. this thinking is what got Trump elected. Populism only works for a citizenry who isn’t idiotic enough to vote for a corrupt narcissist like Trump, thinking he will solve any real issues of wealth inequality. Americans do not deserve, nor are they ready for progressive populism. We need to get real about this.
  6. Out of curiosity, What was your process for coming to this conclusion? Seems like you are putting on a pedestal women's process of sexual selection over the men's process. Circumstantial and physical attractiveness can be factors for both genders -- not everything reduces to gender differences. What you have is women who are horrible at choosing sexual partners, just as there are men who are horrible at it as well. Both can be self deceived in unique and distinct ways.
  7. Yes-probably our best bet. Neither Bernie or AOC will advance any progressive agenda so long as corporate lobbying is influencing Dem & Repub policy, there are zero signs of any progress there-and a Trump administration only prolongs things. Taxing wealth is so unpopular in American political culture these days- its a true shame. Feels like every powerful person is out to destroy the middle class by any means necessary.
  8. Awesome- thank you @Yimpa !
  9. how tf do you explain this? I'm still trying to figure it out:
  10. difference between philosophical perv vs. epistemic scoundrel?
  11. Unreal-beautiful video-thanks for posting! @Leo Gura:
  12. Construct awareness 5/6 I notice that this allows us to be more open to spotting limitations of models and not turning them into dogma or ideology -
  13. Seems like omniscience is an Absolute, but how do we square this with laws of relativism? I’m sure there are arguments against the existence of Absolute Omniscience.

  15. New metric for level of Consciousness & development: quality of porn you watch. Looks like I got more work to do On a serious note-what distinguishes low quality from high quality porn? Not so obvious I feel
  16. Happy Birthday! 🎂
  17. For good ole' times sake:
  18. Scoundrels are confident and proud of their ability to spin bullshit I see
  19. That’s not so obvious
  20. 20Ms could help manage those chronic health issues ..assuming Leo’s mind is highly developed-could use it to come up with creative ways to reframe shitty life circumstances, and somehow tie it back to Love / Infinity. But … there are some big assumptions being made about what 20Ms could do, along with Leo’s mind. No easy way out of risks here
  21. The epistemological costs certainly outweighs the material gains of 20Ms
  22. Social constructs are cool !
  23. @Razard86 props on your post, hope to see more of them
