  1. I never claimed anything was wrong. Most of the police actions on this YT channel are fully justified. Which shows that police are doing a good job, on the whole. Occasionally you see excessive use of force -- it certainly exists -- but it's quite rare and you understand why police must err on the side of caution when dealing with such scumbags. If police were more lax, they'd be dead. So it's hard to blame them for being trigger happy once in a while. One important thing I learned from watching all these videos is that if someone is charging at you while you have a gun, you gotta shoot him way more times than I thought. I used to think that you could put 1-2 bullets in him and stop him. But now I realize that's not nearly enough. You'd want to shot him at least 10 times.
  2. Good. Keep going deeper, more approaches. Never envy those who have it easy. They will not grow as you.
  3. Sure. Ralston has some kind of boarderline austim from what I overheard.
  4. This one's just nuts: At least the dog got himself a ball in the process.
  5. @Kksd74628 You need to educate yourself about NYC's failed stop-and-frisk program.
  6. In practice with profiling the harms outweigh the benefits. Look at how stop-and-frisk worked in NYC.
  7. Actually it is a good reason not to do it. I do care and I try to prevent it within my limited capacity.
  8. This is insane. These poor cops:
  9. They still don't understand the true power of Infinity. Infinity means, you can create whatever item you want, whenever you want, for free, with pure Intelligence. Infinity is not dumb mechanical box, it is a Consciousness. The power of Infinity is not in repeating, it's in not having to repeat.
  10. That's gonna be hard. Teaching him Spiral Dynamics or stages of ego development might be a good intervention point. But ultimately you gotta teach him epistemology. He needs to start to see how his mind is inventing narratives and worldviews, and how to distinguish belief and ideology from direct experience and contemplative insights.
  11. If Sam Harris was describing an orgasm on meth, he would do it in a way that puts your baby to sleep.
  12. Should be obvious to you guys that stereotyping is a survival strategy, and the higher the survival threat the more it will tend to be used.
  13. Then every girl would be a supermodel and all our problems would be solved
  14. @Roy There's a transition zone between Red and Blue where people profess that they have "found the Lord" but then they still struggle to let go of their Red bad habits, "wickedness", and "sin". Blue religion can be a nice cover for the ego to commit sin and they pray it way the next day. Such people can be genuinely guilt-ridden, but still run by many old bad habits. They are trying their best, but that's not usually enough. There is a transition zone between every stage.
  15. They are 99% of the time. Nice strawman.
