    That many girls then yeah, it's almost factory level. But in general if you're open and honest in a compassionate way, would you agree that is an ethical way of approaching it?

    In this thread I'm not telling you how you should live your life, whether you should pursue sex or not.

    I only explained the connection between sex and low consciousness.

    You do whatever you want. You decide for yourself how ethical you wish to be.

    hurting others?

    If you're having sex with dozens and hundreds of girls, you're def hurting some of them in that process.

    Most PUAs are so selfish and unconscious that they don't even know when they hurt girls.

    I'm not saying hurting is mandatory. I'm just saying it tends to come with the pursuit of sex.

    Sex is a very corrupting force. Does that mean it is gauranteed to corrupt you? No.

    The manipulation of people to maximize sexual opportunity is low consciousness.

    Just in general, sex and everything revolving around sex is low consciousness. The reason that is, is because the only reason you care about sex at all is because it is mechanically coded in your animal nature. And as you pursue that sex you lose consciousness to attain it. You lie. You manipulate. You cheat. You hurt others. All for a few minutes of pleasure and excitement.

    Have sex if you wish. Just notice what you're doing to get it.

    But also, if you repress, deny, or neglect your sex drive, that could be even worse.

    A tall skinny guy is not more useful for survival than a fit strong short guy no?

    Am I missing something?

    Human survival has always been more about social skill than physical size.

    Which is why women are most attracted to leadership, status, charisma, and social intelligence.

    Women aren't stupid. They like exactly what helps their children survive.

    Women don't need your muscles, they need your leadership and social connections.

    Isn't nationalism sometimes just an unavoidable and a legitimate protective mechanism against (much more) toxic forces that otherwise would affect the society if it wasn't nationalistic?

    There are healthy and unhealthy forms of nationalism.

    Nationalism is necessary. But it is like handling a cobra who will bite you if you make a wrong move.

    Only because you are a crazy lib.

    In Iran it is illegal for women to not wear a head scarf.

    In Afghanistan it is illegal for women to go to high school.

    But why not to have?

    Is this a problem in your opinion? And why?

    It is a problem. Nationalism is a problem whenever the nation becomes a higher priority than truth and what is right.

    If you love your own people too much it makes you too biased to operate properly in the world. Which then creates situations like Gaza.

    See, ideally you would love Palestinians equal to Israelis, because the truth is that neither one of you is more important. If you think that Israelis are more important that other groups of people, that's a falsehood which will corrupt your whole understanding of reality.

    The most egalitarian countries of today, the Scandinavian countries went through Nazi style sterilization in the 20th centuries aimed at minorities, mixed race and women.

    They had a similar goal as that of Hitler. Now they are ethnically homogeneous and pretty egalitarian.

    Where I will agree with you is that it is easier to create an egalitarian society if it is ethnically homogeneous.

    Quote

    I am not endorsing it, but this could have been very well the result of Nazi Germany had they won the war. 

    No, it could not, because even if Hitler won the war, he would have enslaved half the planet under his sick rule and they would not just quietly obey, there would be ongoing rebellion, sabotage, and violence because Hitler's fantasy of a Third Reich was fundamentally unstable. Hitler would not succeed in eliminating all the minorities and getting everyone to agree to his style of governance.

    Nazism is an incoherent and unstable system. It can never succeed no matter how hard you push it. Because it is based on domination of those who disagree with you.

    Even Hitler's own commanders tried to assassinate him. Because they couldn't stand his authoritarian ways. Hitler was not a nice guy to deal with even for his own Aryan brothers. He was like Trump. Trump is an asshole even to his own family.

    Stable leadership requires a cooperative, collaborative, respectful, and peaceful approach. This is why all dictatorships fail.

    Hitler wanted to create an ethnically homogeneous society. One where races he deemed as inferior didn't exist. An ethnically homogeneous is quite egalitarian, void of any hierarchies whatsoever.

    You need many different groups in the first place to form hierarchies. Hitler wanted to eliminate such hierarchies.

    This is nonsense. Hitler may say whatever BS he wants, but in the end Hitler would have a hierarchy with himself at the top.

    Keep in mind that many people at the top of hierarchies love to think of themselves as just "a man of the people".

    Elon Musk feels like he is this oppressed little guy who is fighting "the man". Even though he is "the man". He's one of the most powerful people on the planet but doesn't see himself that way. Many millionaires and even billionaires do not see themselves as rich people because "being rich" comes with all sorts of negative connotations. Elon Musk might honestly believe that his companies are not dictatorial hierarchies but egalitarian, democratic, free places. Even though in practice he will fire anyone who rubs him the wrong way.

    Quote

    Conservatives love hierarchies for sure. But that's not what hitler had in mind. It was a quite egalitarian society. It's quite hard for an ethnically heterogeneous society to be egalitarian.

    BS. You cannot behave as Hitler behaved and be egalitarian.

    Hitler was living in a fantasy land of his own design. As were the Marxists.

    The moral of the story is to judge their actions, not their words.

    Basically all of establishment democrats are right wing then.

    One of the biggest criticisms that serious leftists have of Democrats is that they are too neoliberal, too corrupt, too moderate, too right-wing, too eager to compromise with the right.

    The issue is that it's really really difficult to live up to leftist ideals. They are utopian in their nature. Leftists fool themselves that they can live up their own ideals. In reality if you put a typical leftist/Marxist in power, he will use that power to enrich himself, his family, and his friends -- even if he professes to be a radical Marxist. Because what truly runs the show is always survival, not one's ideals. Marxism is a fantasy. It isn't sustainable under real-world pressures in our current era.

    @OBEler Btw, wanted to say this is a great thread. I would have loved to participate if it weren't for my ignorance on the topic. I actually learnt a lot and many doubts I had are now resolved.

    Excellent!

    Yeah but I'm sure the next version of ChatGPT will be better9_9

    I get your joke.

    But...

    It will be better in terms of raw performance but it may still be limited by its safety protocols.

    These are independent variables and who knows how the safety protocols will be tuned in future versions.

    In order to compete with Claude, ChatGPT may have to loosen its uptight attitude.

    I didn't appreciate the safety factor before because all I used was ChatGPT. Now as I use Claude I see the importance of how this safety factor is fine-tuned.

    All of these you think this is IDF policy only in this war or also before?

    I think this attitude has been held for a long time by top leadership and also those on the ground.

    Some of it may be explicit verbalized policy, but mostly I think it's a general attitude of: "Lets do as much damage to the Palestinians as we can get away with. Shoot first, ask questions later. Anything that undermines the Zionist agenda must be destroyed."

    This is the fundamental problem with Zionism. Zionism puts Zionism as the highest goal, not morality, truth, or justice. With such a philosophy evil must occur. Because anything is justified as long as it promotes Zionism. You can kill babies for the sake of Zionism and feel that you are doing nothing wrong because you have made Zionism your God.

    But Zionism is not God.

    I am not denying too loose actions from soldiers that are happening.

    I think it goes all the way to the top. The top is pushing to inflict as much pressure as possible in every way possible.

    Dear Leo, let me tell you something. Every single leader in this world resorts to criminal domination to hold on to power. It's simply what demands of that position.

    That's actually not true. Often it is true, but in developed countries does not have to be true.

    Quote

    It's not because the country as a whole are underdeveloped.

    Yes, it is. The less developed the country the more likely it is that the leaders need to resort to criminal behavior to hold power.

    It is not necessary to resort to criminal behavior to hold power in Germany today. Because Germany has strongly developed systems. And in fact, criminal behavior is one of the surest ways to lose your power in Germany.

    Quote

    And this is very intellectually dishonest definitions.

    You are claiming that every leftist leader who does criminal shit under the hood is right wing, because it is right wing behaviour to do criminal shit. Tf??

    No, I'm not claiming anything so ridiculous.

    Leftists can and do criminal stuff. What you really need to look at is whether the style of leadership is one which is about coercing people by force or not. And you have to look at how much the leader's actions align with his words. If a leader talks about equal distribution of wealth in public but then hoards huge wealth for himself in secret, then this leader is full of shit and not really a leftist.

    Many leaders don't really care about left or right, all they care about is power and survival. This is the case with Trump, for example. He will say whatever helps him gain power and survive. Trump may say he's against abortion or loves the Bible, but all of this is just pure bullshit for his stupid base.

    I meant to the ones who are considered as the operational targets.

    The IDF is very loose in who they consider as Hamas specifically for operational targets. Because they want to target as wide as they can get away with.

    Quote

    How do you know this is really the case in the policy level?

    It's clearly the case if you look at the kind of strikes and attacks that the IDF does.

    If there's even a hint that someone is associated with Hamas, they are bombed. The IDF has assassinated many Gazan journalists because "Hamas". These journalists are bombed simply because they report in ways which isn't favorable to the Zionist agenda. This is a war crime.

    22 minutes ago, Nivsch said:

    What can you as a soldier do when you know that hamas will necessarily disguise itself to civilians all the time?

    What you do is, you don't fire on people unless they are armed and posing an immediate threat to you.

    IDF operating procedure is to fire first and ask questions later.

    @Karmadhi hamas = the armed terrorists.

    Hamas is much broader thing than armed terrorists.

    That's like saying that every Israeli government employee is IDF.

    There are many people who your government considers "Hamas" but who are just peaceful bureaucrats and civilians who administer the governmental duties of Gaza. In the same way that there are many Israelis who work for the government and have no involvement with military operations.

    The sad thing is that the IDF will consider a maid who cleans the floor in a government building in Gaza as a Hamas terrorist. Since she is technically employed by Hamas.

    Your own government has a much broader notion of Hamas than "armed terrorists", precisely so they can kill more Palestinians.
