He's in full panic mode.

Thanks for sharing, Midgley seems very interesting.

https://youtu.be/0d1y29nEoSg?t=699 Surrounded by his MAGA goons, Trump still questions how he could lose to Biden. Each time sounded like a tacit admi...

Violence, propaganda, either way the ruling class has to manufacture consent from the great beast.

I don't know, procreation is a natural behavior of biological organisms. People fuck and wanna have a family, it's not too complicated. When (if) mora...

Kamala :fire: Thank god the cavalry finally arrived

Really good, thanks BC.

:up: I think a certain degree of mythology has to be embedded in a political movement for it to be successful. Conservatism wishes to maintain or brin...

Definitely there are some people who say things contrary to science because they don't care about truth. But I think the vast majority are just idiots...

That's true. I did feel that Biden did a good job with speaking directly to the American people. Trump seemed to be almost entirely oblivious.

I felt it was more along the lines of: shut up and stop spreading doubt even if you feel that way; now is not the time to doubt the candidate or point...

I thought one of Trump's goals was to smear Biden enough so that people on the fence, as well as people who reluctantly support Biden, would doubt Bid...

By no means do I think Trump won the debate in terms of intellectual reasons. The guy is a moron. But it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, only wh...

Putting down some thoughts of mine. Trump successfully derailed the debate and made Biden appear weak. He repeatedly insulted Biden, insinuating that,...

Moderator should have been a woman

Trump is steamrolling Biden and Biden isn't putting up a fight. It's bad.

Trump's braggadocio is in full swing

Hungover?

I'll prolly make a post on the book once I finish it.

I loved Dune. In the Presence of Schopenhauer, Michel Houellebecq, recently published in English.

Albinism. Or maybe just skin pigmentation in general, which means so much to so many for such dumb reasons.

I wouldn't want to be immortal, but I would like to be able to decide when my life will end. It would be nice to not have to stave off death, nor endu...

Really interesting diagram.

Damn WTF this sucks, how did I not hear about this. Cool dude, really made me think.

In other words, fat people deserve to die. k.

I think these arguments serve two purposes: 1. reinforcing the beliefs of the already initiated, and 2. planting the idea of belief in those who are n...

:up:

Not at all. Vulnerable people die from a combination of COVID-19 and other illnesses. What you seem to be implying is that COVID-19 is an epiphenomeno...

This doesn't change the fact that 150K people with pre-existing conditions are dead. "Well, if they weren't diabetic, maybe they wouldn't have died. C...

Damn, that sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I'm jealous, the early internet seemed like a pretty cool place. The pioneering days, before the digital suburbia popped up.

Fetuses physically resemble human people, just like the moon sometimes looks like a face but it's really just a hunk of rock. A human != a person.

This is assuming life continues to exist as it does, and that nature does not take a different course. Fair enough.

If you nuke the planet, you guarantee a certain amount of suffering with the hope that it will prevent some greater amount of suffering in the future....

A rationalization of what?

Do you really? Do you actually live your life according to these principles?

Correction: "America is the best, and nobody has done more to protect and advance it than President Trump." :vomit:

The World in Your Head: A Gestalt View of the Mechanism of Conscious Experience by Steven Lehar

My thinking on this is that "nothing" is a non-sense term. "Nothing" - the absence of things; yet there is still something left over, that "background...

An aside, and maybe this is better suited as a separate thread as suggested, but have you read David Gamez?, and if so do you have thoughts on his dia...

oh my god this is beyond stupid
