Your thought experiment is based on septal stimulation and there’s no evidence that it’s as addictive as you now suggest. Even though I admittedly hav...

I voted yes because having all my physiological needs taken care of for pressing a button every once in a while is too good of a deal to pass on.

Red fascists love red, I would assume.

Like the One, a whole is useless by itself.

Could be he’s pro-fascist and speaks ill of capital as an excuse so that he can wear all black attire. So vain.

Is it arrogance or a difference in motivations? If you’re motivated by the acquisition of power and wealth then it wouldn’t be unexpected to act with ...

Watched RBG last night. Looks like she had fortunate and fulfilling life, with a wonderful marriage and family, and a shining career. Truly inspiring,...

High is relative to low, meaning is relative to meaningless, purpose is relative to purposelessness, but The One is a cool idea. Experience it.

Shit, and so close.

His archenemy should be Gus Lamarch, a Brazilian highborn ubermensch who possesses the power to corral a mass of mindless minions, and with a mere fib...

Because they’re all equally inapplicable. Your Perfection, for instance, is not applicable to **The One** because in order for it to be perfect there ...

I was never good at math.

Antifa are anarchists or anti-capitalists and there’s no dirtier word to a Trumpian than anti-capitalist.

Right, I don’t know how you interpreted otherwise. My fault for being unclear, I suppose.

My understanding, which could be wrong, is that you are in agreement with Nietzsche, and we are not in agreement. My reference to Nietz was only to si...

My understanding of why you quote him this way is in effort to substantiate your belief that people require some contrived fiction in order to be lead...

Lol, true dat, and good luck with your privileged position. Suffice to say as Fredy say: God is dead. The Enlightenment endows us with the wondrous po...

Then obviously they haven’t sufficiently matured. Look at the current democratically elected leader of the free world and tell me that we live in a ma...

Why do we eventually tell children that there's no Santa Claus? Because it's time for them to grow up.

Metaphysical legitimacy, as you call it, in religion is necessarily derived from a chain of hierarchical authority. This chain is comprised of people,...

Rather, religions are weakened by a loss of meaning, which can result from metaphysical events failing to manifest.

I should point out that I was probably being more self-gratifying than serious, and it was about praise rather than blame. Regardless of that I disagr...

Savoring a sense of superiority is certainly self gratifying, as is masturbation. I can agree with you that far, but I question the worth you place on...

Given this sentiment, I imagine that your talent as a lover is unsung.

The elation felt in a sense of superiority should be praised?

If you do the math, herd immunity would cost around 6 million American lives. Hey, no sweat, right?! :brow: Herd mentality helped him get elected, so ...

For sci-fi? It definitely stands out in that genre.

The Republican Party or conservativtism isn’t an authoritarian personality. Granted Trump is a dictator wannabe, and many of his supporters seem willi...

So the protesters scared away thousands of Trump supporters. That’s easy to imagine. What’s the propaganda? That Trump is so unpopular that he drew a ...

So has the Left, in the same manner.

No, they’re just easily lead, for whatever reason. I doubt they can be lead to significant violence by the orange fool. His weird charisma isn’t nearl...

You claimed that there’s a point but are apparently unable to find one.

And the point is?

Many are racist for the wrong reasons, because they’re ignorant. The right reason is that it offers an advantage or privileged position, simply. Holdi...

You appear to be saying that you’re unwilling to edit the OP in order to be less negativity producing.

How do you know? Dingo brought it up, maybe he’s projecting.

Okay then, we’ll chalk it up to habit. That established, there’s no reason for you not to edit the OP in order to make it less likely to produce a lot...

I notice you haven’t addressed the topic whatsoever. Too tired after beating your wife, perhaps?

Perhaps it’s your habit then. Will you admit that much?

Why don’t you simply ignore those threads?

If you say so. In any case, there’s no reason that couldn’t be done in a way that would not produce “a lot of negativity,” as you say. But you’ve deli...

You knowingly designed an OP that you believed may produce "a lot of negativity." Why would you do that if not to troll?

Are you admitting that the topic is designed to troll?

Perhaps the devil made them delete it.

Trump did inherit a strong economy. The economy is no longer strong. Trump failed to produce the GDP growth that he promised. Etc... Where did I say t...

Actually, Trump failed to produce the GDP growth that he promised. This probably is the case for some. David Duke, for example, has made statements th...

I suppose there be somewhat of a legitimate basis for the Trumpian anti-maskers, being: A) They’re incapable of thinking for themselves. B) They’re mo...

Impossible to learn a thing or two almost anywhere else? You poor man. :worry:

I started rereading Dune and it's very enjoyable. I read it as a teen and again sometime around 15 years ago. The remake looks promising, btw. I've re...

They're so devoted to their tribe that they're willing to kill and die for it, apparently.
