Getting even a small asteroid full of precious and/or base metals is something more worthy of Elon Musk's time. https://www.livescience.com/space/asteroids/theres-an-asteroid-out-there-worth-dollar100000-quadrillion-why-havent-we-mined-it

The issue is hyper-liberal multiculturalism. It should be that people are entitled to have their own religions and culture in private, but there should be an overarching language/culture that most adhere to. If people don't meet it or aren't willing to abide by it, nobody is forcing them to stay in the country. -
Which conservative? And in which country? You're splitting hairs and mischaracterizing things. Quite a number of social conservatives would say that older forms of morals and norms should be adapted to changing times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conservatism Nazism was heavily socially conservative. Hitler believed that a woman's place was in the home. He also called for women to be homemakers and mothers and men to have leadership roles.

Hitler was as are most fascists socially conservative. The OP is splitting hairs. There are also various strands of conservative thought but the Nazis did believe in traditional values, even if Hitler said one shouldn't be wholly wedded to the past.

it's too forward, especially for strangers.

Is it too judgemental to form a view of a person via initial engagement? For instance, I contacted a firm for some PC supplies the other day. They responded by saying "Hello Mr. X" or x as in my first name. It just seems forward to use a first name for a stranger.

Wisdom is relative. Maybe that person thinks a good life has joy. A person like that is hedonistic, but i won't say that precludes wisdom. Or maybe they realise they have a vice in being hedonistic and accept it as part of being human. We all have flaws in some capacity. Isn't that being wise? Is that being wiser or more foolish than a person who seldom ever fucks and secretly longs to let themselves go sometimes? The hedonist in this case is at least being more true to themselves and has more self-awareness and knowledge. that's surely being wiser.

in general, we cannot aggregate people. Some hot ladies may not fuck around due to religious reasons, or past traumas. Or they may have given philosophical reasons, or perhaps have a low sex drive. Some even might have autism and not engage with people that much. A hot lady from London, Berlin, Sydney, or any other big city in a comparatively liberal Western city might have a higher body count. But a hot lady in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, India, China, etc. may not because of the differing social norms there. In Western countries with more open sexual mores, such ladies might be a minority but they do exist.

no, they are not. it's pretty standard that looks affect their characters, given basic human social dynamics. There's nothing that makes them have an easier life by proxy. But getting adulation does affect their brains and characters, and few lack the humility or grace to realise their privilege. assuming they're all nice because the limit of your sheltered CA existence isn't right. Pretty privilege is a fact. only deluded, naive, and dishonest people deny it.

It could. Even though AGI is a long way from current computer science levels, AI is hard to regulate. It's naive to suggest it will be limited to just running algorithms in supply chains, or conducting medical research or some such. We may well have a ST;TNG Data-esque android at one point. There was this talk of sex robots a few years ago, which hasn't materialised yet, but who knows what can happen? Definitely there needs to be some checks over AI and its use.

We're nowhere near going from the need to work, at least technologically. -

Immigration is required, due to labour shortages. The EU recognises this. Though it has priorities for high-skilled labour. But then the issue also is a lack of integration. Due to the PC/woke agenda, there is an emphasis of people who are culturally distinct and with no real effort to enforce the dominant culture. The EU should make it a ruling amongst all member states that migrants learn the native languages of member states. -
Seeing who is "right or wrong" in this case is foolhardy. Israel would say "Hamas wants us all dead!" Hamas would say"you invaded our lands years ago, so get out!!" Israel would say "we have a claim tom these lands, as our religion and forefathers were here millennia ago. And we have nowhere else to go as we've been persecuted for centuries in Europe and elsewhere!" Hamas would retort "we've been here too for centuries! We can't help that Arab Muslims conquered this place centuries ago and made our ancestors Muslim!!" Whether Israel is committing genocide or not is very moot. But blaming one side over the other is cringe and both sides should ideally accept each others' right to remain there.

dating a hot woman must be Hell. They're scummy human beings. datig is not just about looks. if people want trophies, then date and fuck the Champions League. Or the Copa America. Or the Wimbledon shield. https://cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/CBDCOEQ3ABPV7MOPB7ZFFVHDQI.jpg https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4D12AQHDfRKXRKFb3g/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1682892145752?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=C_SaDf28HzWG9NBsmp9F5MIMGfWNIoZ83PpI3Q0pe_g Damn look at their curves. hard-on inducing. looool. It should surely be enlightened to balance looks or physical appeal with something deeper. Both are equally important. But knowing the souls of hot ladies, I'd rather drink fresh horse urine than date one. D

As an overview: - Define debate terms and scope - Define debate opening positions - essentially who is in favour and against a topic or proposition - State points clearly and without any ad homenins - Answer opposing points directly with no red herrings - Pick up on points the opposing person says, and use logic to take them apart Being a good debater lends to mental sharpness, clear and quick talking, and researching well on a topic beforehand. If anything, both Dr. Peterson and Destiny showed strong debating techniques. -

Yes. Longstanding norms of communication are bad. because edgelords say so. What you conveyed doesn't make any sense. The grammar and meaning are all off. -
Disassociate with them, and recognise it's a you problem.
-
I consider it less cordial, especially on first meeting. One can. use first names when there is more rapport.
-
Said people might not have had the same opportunities as you.
-
not to strangers. this is earnd, and yes, "hello, sir" is better.
-
get me for what? I merely said that all languages have quirks. And that you're not obligated to learn any language.
-
No, i won't agree. they're nothing special, just one nationality out of many others.

Hot women are overhyped. Sure, it's good to date people one finds attractive. But looks aren't everything in a partner. It's a bit infantile to want the hottest babe. For whom? One's ego? to show off to others? the point of dating is connection. it's about wanting a trophy. hot women are scummy people anyhow. the brain of every hot woman alive is just been warped by early life experiences of being spoilt due to looks. they assume others have to look up to them, and don't comprehend nor get give and take. they get their bfs and husbands to beat people up who don't look up to them. and they don't get they add to social situations and it's all about them. they assume they are "on top" in every situation, even when it's not warranted. Even if a hot woman was a passive angel, her looks would still turn me off on that basis.

it depends on the bar and environment one goes into. Not all bars are inherently violent.
