@DrugsBunny I'll call you truthphobic

If you're gonna take that approach, you should be even-handed and also call progressives climatephobic and wealthphobic.

I don't have to demonstrate anything. The point is simply that when you toy with culture you can create all sorts of unforeseen negative consequences. To not take this possibility seriously is the error of liberalism. There are certainly many factors at play, not just trans people. But LGBTQ+ is far more than just stopping trans people from being bullied. It's a much wider ideology. There's much more at play within LGBTQ+ ideology than merely "trans acceptance".

As a member of a community you have no right to anonymity. It's not a matter of choosing a lifestyle. Public pressure on you will be precisely proportional to the size of your reach and influence. If you have 100 followers, no one really cares what you say. But as you accumulate more influence, people will start to care more and you will have to speak more carefully. This is perfectly fair and exactly how communities have worked for 1000s of years. Speech within a community must have a cost, otherwise it devolves into insane people howling like animals.

https://www.joe.ie/life-style/amount-men-30-not-sex-nearly-tripled-past-decade-663846 The math is very clear. You just aren't interested in holistic thinking.

Role-modeling works even without words. And there is a lot of LGBTQ+ ideology being taught these days. It's not about any one persona like Elliot. It's the overall change in the culture. You guys should actually make an attempt to understand this stuff. I'm not going to force explanations down your throat. If you don't want to understand, then remain ignorant.

I am not claiming Elliot is, JP is claiming that. In the same way that you believe Andrew Tate is harming culture with his personal liberty. Basically, you have to understand that from the conservative POV, gayness harms culture because it undermines masculinity. If you cannot understand that, then you won't understand the trans debate.

Well, these notions are highly relative and subjective. I do not defend JP's style of communication there. He clearly lost his temper. They are totally separate if your approach is unholistic. You are treating culture as though it doesn't influence people. This is a culture war. You are warring over how to define culture norms. The reason you do so is because you know that culture is hugely influential. Yet you then want to deny that it influences cis children. What you have to remember is that children and teens are morons. You can program them with literally any ideology and they will follow along.

No. You tried to smear his position as transphobic and I simply called you out on that. You are welcome to disagree with me but don't say I'm gaslighting you. We have an epidemic of Incels because boys are not being properly taught how to be strong men. The number of Incels way outnumber trans people. And these Incels cause a lot of social chaos. It's also not good for women. It's not transphobic to be concerned about culture changing in harmful ways.

Be ware of thought-terminating cliches such as "grifter", "bigot", "transphobe", "fascist", etc.

A computation is not a computation.

Yes, good topic. I'm planning a video on self-righteousness. It's a very sneaky form of self-deception.

Because that is his position, regardless of whether you agree with it or not. The fact that you cannot articulate his position properly says more about you than it does about him. That is the conservative position. It is not absurd to suggest that confusion about gender roles can harm kids. Given that trans people are such a tiny percentage of the population (<1%), making even 2% of the non-trans kids confused could lead to a net negative effect. The meta problem here is that you guys do not understand the conservative position. So you demonize it as transphobia. Playing around with deep cultural norms, like gender, can cause great harm if done mindlessly. That is the conservative worldview. Many boys could be getting hurt by not being taught how to be proper men. We have an epidemic of guys not knowing how to get laid. Of course JP takes it too far when he calls Elliot Paige's doctor a butcher and compares it to Nazi medical experiments. JP's communications contain both signal and noise. But it's your responsibility to sort that out.

JP is not open to trans stuff because he believes it harms more cis kids than it helps trans kids because it undermines gender norms. Public policy is not about helping one narrow group of people, it is about what's best for the whole.

It will def make you ungrounded if you do it daily.

Bacteria are not considered parasites. Parasites are a whole different class of creatures which are much larger in size. And no, you should not have any parasites at all. If you have parasites they need to be killed off.

I was hoping there would be more serious people here. We are not talking about censoring ideas, we are talking about removing anonymity so that everyone is responsible for the ideas they post. If you want to post Nazi ideas, fine. But then you should know that every future employer or girl you date can search your name on Twitter and see if you've support Nazi ideas. This is proper and fair. It would automatically fix most bad behavior. You should not be free to speak ideas without your name attached to them. So then you think real hard before you speak. Celebrities and public intellectuals have to do this every day, and it keeps them honest. If you do not have the courage to post your legal name alongside your ideas, then your ideas are not worth much. I have to live with every radical thing I say, and so should you.

I have been guilty of excessive use of profanity lately. I will be significantly cutting back on this going forward to set a better example for others. Once I achieve this I will start expecting the same of you. My apologies and thanks for bearing with my antics as I do my spiritual process.

Exactly. Which is what women are attracted to.

Sadhguru is right. I have thought about requiring everyone on this forum submit an ID to have an account. This would weed out all the trolls and bullshitter forever. But Twitter will never do it. 75% of their business is catering to trolls, spammers, and douchebags for drama and sport. Twitter has no intention of being a place for serious intellectual dialogue. Serious cannot be popular because it's not entertaining enough. People mostly use these platforms for entertainment. Even Musk.

I've done it daily.
