@Preety_India Give it a few days. There's still editing and potentially long upload and processing times.

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.6. Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.2. You score for primary psychopathy was higher than % of people who have taken this test. You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 34.17% of people who have taken this test. (I don't know what happened with that first percentage but it literally didn't show up.)

Half the stuff on it is made-up. Also the article is mostly just petulant ranting and the rest are literally just comments on random forum posts. I sorta know what it's like to make that kind of content because I went through a phase of my life where I was sorta at that mentality. Beyond just having a rationalist worldview, there's sort of an addictive high that you get when you feel like you can just outsmart everybody because you think you're such an highly-intellectual individual. I put individual on bold because a big part of it is feeling unique from everyone else and definitely superior in some way. It actually feels empowering to think that way and intellectually "owning" someone becomes a source of fulfillment in life. Being a rationalist/materialist ideologue is one thing, but the sense of smugness I get from the article leads me to believe they could still be in that state of mind. The biggest delusion is when you're in that state and you think you've got reality mostly figured out. A deep admission that you actually don't know what reality/Truth is would swiftly end that.

He should have saved the random seed of his life. Minecraft joke. I'm sorry.

@Nos7algiK Also, certain "comments and opinions" that he expressed on social media did not help.

I wish there was a vaccine for stupidity.

Here's David Pakman video with the same two people:

Late Show with Stephen Colbert made fun of him lol. You know you're doing something really dumb if even they make fun of you. Not that I don't like their show, they just tend to appeal to more mainstream audiences.

It's cringe because of the emphasis on "Best Day" in US history instead of just being a significant statistical event. Although, I do get a wiff of irony from that tweet so it's probably not best to also take it seriously. Probably just joking around.

RationalWiki ROFL

Trump was a god-awful leader overall and an even worse human-being. That kind of excuse can be said of literally any terrible politician you want to defend. P.S. Leo's not kidding, by the way. You could get banned for chronically defending Trump.

How 'bout the "I have no stance" response?

@Leo Gura I'm still in my early 20s and I do have one small story from my (really) early 20s. The first time I tried to live on my own and pay for my own rent, I could only afford a very small room barely the size of an average home bathroom. The rent was cheap and I was told the other extra fees (water, electricity, and garbage disposal) would be just be a fraction of the rent. This ended up being true for the rent, water, and garbage, but I feel I was charged way more than I expected for electricity. Something was up. At first, I thought it might be normal. The landlady even pointed out how expensive my electricity bill was at first and suggested it might be because of my laptop. Yes, I used my laptop everyday but something still felt off as I needed to go to work every weekday and I usually liked to spend part of my weekends outside so I wasn't using my laptop that much. But I just went with it. The electricity bill slowly got more expensive over the next few months and I still thought it was may have been normal, albeit weird. I was being given what looked like actual electricity bills with the weirdly high numbers 4x larger than I was originally told. . . and still rising. How would I even challenge that? It's an actual paper bill telling me how much I needed to pay. My suspicions really started to arise when one time bills were due, I didn't receive an electricity bill. The landlady insisted she slid it under my door but there really was nothing there. She then just proceeded to tell me what she claimed was my number for the month and it was predictably higher than what my bill was the previous month. I still didn't say anything at the time and I just paid it. Something was definitely wrong. The laptop was the only high-end electronic I had and I wasn't exactly using it more and more each month. Unfortunately (and also very fortunately), I got fired from my job that month so I didn't have to stay at that crappy place anymore and that was the last time I paid for that bill. I didn't have the mind to bring up my suspicions to her as I was thinking about having to move back to my parent's house at the time. And even if that wasn't the case, I didn't even know if there was a way to prove it and get my money back at all. It was only when I looked back to my time there that the possibility that I've been financially scammed seriously dawned on me. I didn't feel that upset about it, I mostly saw it as a learning experience. I was taken advantage of because of my lack of life experience. Looking back, I would have contacted my uncle immediately when I got that first bill and asked him for advice but that thought didn't even crop up in my mind. I was too arrogant at the time to look for help from people who may have had more experience than me and I just decided I could "figure it out on my own". I have not told this story to anyone because frankly, I just want to move on from it. I didn't want to cause a fuss from my parents or relatives that would force me to have to confront my ex-landlady, I thought it would be a waste of time. Better just to be proactive and earn more money by focusing on my LP. However, the next time I feel something like this is happening again, I will be ready.

The worst city. . . . probably.

And yet somehow they'd still win through voter suppression tactics. Oh America.

Leo made a blog post about this but frankly, I wanted to post this before that but the site wouldn't work for a long while. I think it's good to read the original article because it gives a good general chronological story as to how Tim Pool essentially failed his way to success. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-coward-and-phony-tim-pool-became-one-of-the-biggest-political-youtubers-on-the-planet Really revealing stuff here. I learned that Tim Pool's primary motivation was always personal success and fame but it's also something else when you're embarrassingly incompetent at your work and are in denial of it. Almost no different to Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder: tried to pursue a positive life purpose, failing miserably at it, eventually found a toxic but lucrative career on easy street.

How Boring. Such a sheer lack of charisma from Sargon of Akkad as he tries to "debunk" the Daily Beast article. All he can do is posture "hit piece" while he barely reads what's on the article.

Also allegedly asking a black man what side of the race war he's on. And there's also having the gaul to say “Women are too emotional to be good journalists; their feelings get in the way” even though he was too scared to leave his hotel room to film Turkey's civil unrest. Again "allegedly", but if true then Pool's even dumber than I thought.

I mean. . . this has gotta be a troll, right?

You just can't beat "imagine if Mark Zuckerberg censored MLK and Abraham Lincoln", two famous figures who were assassinated because of the causes they fought for. Pure clownery.

@Leo Gura Would you ever speak with Sam Harris if presented the opportunity? What would you try to tell him? Pardon me if this question has already been asked to you.

Meanwhile in Stage Orange land:

Haha lol. I guess that's something for me to reflect on. I have been getting more into board games lately so I guess I've gotten even more primitive and nerdy.

Ya ever try Dwarf Fortress? Probably the most complex RTS game around. It's free yet mind-boggingly complex. Took me several tutorial videos to learn how to play it.
