  1. Success is the culmination of constructive habits. Without knowing the right principles and concepts you won't get far. Genetics alone can't teach you.
  2. Rat genocide. A fun little outing for the whole family. Good exercise for the dogs and its poison free and humane 😊
  3. I like and live by a large amount of Leo's framework which he has represented over the years. It's hard to point at any one insight because I hardly remember. I take a lot of this stuff for granted. One of my favorites though is that finitude is the root cause of conflict. It explains so much.
  4. Read my previous comments. You could probably release Breivik tomorrow and it would be fine in terms of him not killing anyone anymore, but that would be unacceptable socially and politically when he's a known mass murderer. Justice is not purely a technical question of safety. People expect and want the justice system to deliver a degree of fairness when people commit crimes. Good luck convincing people otherwise.
  5. Destiny streams are some of the laziest content I've ever seen when he's not debate lording. He just plays some video for minutes straight while playing some game and occasionally says something . People work harder just to get up in the morning.
  6. You will be less lonely when your busy developing your talents and absorbed in working on projects. It can be more meaningful than socializing if you find something fascinating and important to strive for and your building a big ticket item over the long-term. Being alone is a fact. Being lonely is a subjective feeling. It's a kind of present moment FOMO. You can be lonely in a crowd.
  7. I have a nose for BS. When I first saw him going viral I immediately resisted watching any of his content. I only seen some analysis of him, who have all been skeptical of his claims. If something is worth knowing it'll eventually circle back around to you a lot of the time. No need to get swept up by the algo.
  8. I believe it's a constitutional thing, but I think Americans should perhaps stop televising court cases, at least with maybe high profile ones. With high profile cases like this it turns too much into a circus and it biases the jury too much. Unpopular jurors get stalked and harassed, which chills the prospect of being a holdout juror in the future.
  9. I'm not going to satisfy your autistic need for specifics. It's silly. I've been pretty clear, and if you don't understand them that's on you at this point. I'm done repeating myself and going in circles. The death penalty is a workable solution. It's group think all the way down. Very typical of leftoid circles. Especially relative to trans stuff, because they flip flop between advocating womens rights to later advocating trans rights at the cost of womens rights. Like trans in women sports or doctors calling women "person with uterus". Or trans in women bathrooms, etc.
  10. Yup. It's culture war. They are treating this case for what it represents politically to them at the exclusion of the case itself. I think if she strangled 3 dogs to death instead of babies they would want her hanged.
  11. Irrelevant appeal to authority. The technical minutia doesn't really matter to the spirit of a good standard. Basically, when there's zero doubt, which I believe is indisputably possible.
  12. The Hellen Keller of animals. And just like Hellen Keller, super obvious in hindsight to be fake. Obviously a gorilla doesn't understand what a climate change is, or the concept of human emotions like sadness or greed. Obviously the trainer is being extremely generous with interpreting Koko's sign language. Gorillas don't even have the finger dexterity to entirely do human sign language. It's pretty damning too that the lab who had Koko never let anyone outside near to do controlled studies. A good example of business incentives corrupting science. Koko turned into a feel-good mascot, just like Hellen Keller, and earned them millions. It might not even be entirely intentional. These animals trainers get roped up in their own excitement of thinking they taught their beloved pet to speak, not noticing their own influence. Eventually It's just becomes the path of least resistance when it makes your career. Hooks you up with celebrities and shit. Bad science. Bad.
  13. Hit em right in the ego. They are used to feeling untouchable, which is why it feels surreal when a mass terrorist attack happens in one of their major cities. American exceptionalism and all that. Worse things have happened since in other countries. I really believe it is national ego.
  14. I contemplate my parents death at times. It's sad but realistically not that far off. I try to cherish my time with them but it's easy to take your day to day for granted. You'll thank yourself later if you go out your way to make some memories with them. Time flies.
  15. Whole ass of question begging. I gave you a reasonable common sense standard. I'm not repeating myself again.
