Pointed out that you like to project a lot.
-
Think about the kids man. How free? Could you state those points?
-
If I was spiteful I would just let you be wrong so you keep hitting your head into a wall.
-
Projecting much?
-
You have stated that you don't want to change your mind. Then why would anyone waste energy on you? You clearly aren't mature enough for an open discussion.

20-30% of people can't be models.

This is sick. I can't believe people listen to him.

@Preety_India I just heard something and it reminded me of our conversation. There is this place in Japan called Okinawa where people live really long. In the past 200 000 people escaped from there to Brazil because of a war and their descendents now live 17 years shorter lives than on Okinawa.

If you still think that chimps are frugivores watch the video on page 1.

They're feral you can't change their minds.

Is this the living food that you talk about? NSFW

Loaned some money to a friend. Great lesson. @sdahow do you feel when you read it like this?

Leo could you make a video called logic 101? Seeing all this stupid shit is sad.

Nah we can talk about it. You just can't go around telling people what to do. Even religious people here know it. Recently a God loving Christian asked me if I would be open to doing some ceremony, instead of condemning me like I see in Merica. If you could guess what percentage is caused by genetics?

Yea I'm hwite. I know that the skull stuff has been debunked. Idn if it's that the differences don't cause what was assumed or there are no differences but i know that it's bad science. The height is explained by nutrition and temperature. But yea there are clearly physical differences on average but when people talk about race they usually talk about intelligence and behavior. The life span is highly affected by your environment and if white people have better access to healthy foods it would partially explain it. And dont Japanese people live long? It's not from ancient times. The middle east was scientifically most advanced in 7th or 8th century. Pyramids are possibly the greatest shit humans ever built...

Let's say that it's true why would someone choose to be stupid?
-
How so?

The way I look at the ability and intelligence is that it's caused more by environment than genetics. So let's say you took 10 white and 10 black kids and you let them grow up in the West and go through the standard western education and you take another 20 kids but you put them in a village in some jungle. Then if you tried to calculate who is smarter 20 years later and you gave them an iq test of course the western group would be smarter regardless of color because they know how to use a pencil, they played video games that are similar to iq tests growing up... They went to school so they developed a skill that is useful in our world. So you could say that they have more ability but if you took them and placed them in the jungle they would all die in a few days. While the other kids would find their way and then the people from their village would say look at that westerns and how stupid they are they couldn't survive a week on their own.

Here it's deeply ingrained that you don't have the right to tell someone how to behave if they aren't affecting you. In puberty I was very rebellious and didn't like when someone told me what to do. So for me to do it, it would be like a religious person doing something that Jesus doesn't like.

I was a bit further down the pipeline. I remember finding racist humor very funny. My moment of clarity was (I don't remember the content but I do the structure) when I used the fact that was true on it's own to imply something bigger and it turned out that the fact was false from the bigger picture. So for an example I never cared about this but it's what first came to me. One of those debate fucks I think Charlie Kirk talked to the students and said that immigrants commit double the crimes of natives in some city implying that all immigrants are committing a lot more crimes and that they should not be allowed into the country. Turns out that immigrants commit less crimes than natives if you look at the whole country so all that other shit is wrong. @Preety_India Did you fall for it because they didn't explicitly talk about colors? Please don't guilt trip yourself. No one got hurt and I don't think that it's possible that you can go through you childhood without holding any stupid beliefs.

Hahaha Here in the west that would be crossing a line. It's interesting how different our cultures are. I would never even think that. Yea this might work. Damn I forgot about that. This is a good one. Especially for them. I feel shitty when I debate someone. I did this and it worked better than I thought it would. Oh and I don't think that Alex is that to the right.

@Leo Gura Do you have any ideas on how to improve the situation? I wish they could do something like Twitter and put the text over the screen saying that this is inaccurate. @Preety_India Congrats on growing out of it. I have some family members that are down the hole and they just seem so sad. If you have any tips I'd appreciate it.
