@Leo Gura I don't think these were just regular government people. This was a report from people working for the Pentagon. I was making fun of the clear conflict of interest. Maybe my thread title was too ambigious or misleading. So I changed "Pentagon Investigators" to "Pentagon's Investigators"

I like how Full Democracy is the only one without glaring inequality.

Tucker Carlson? Afraid to say something wrong?

Putin being baffled that Tucker didn't ask any hard questions is proof that he's a smart guy who has no idea how dumb the American right has become.

Man, that Tucker Carlson bit felt like a parody. My favorite part was when he went "I feel radicalised against our leaders. That's right, RADICALISED". He is a man of great subtlety.

Dave is a Science Fundamentalist. And he had either no interest or was not capable of accurately understanding Formscape's points. Formscape is not "Anti-Science". He is against the almost religious attitude of adherence to the "One True Science" establishment that makes its adherents intellectually-arrogant and woefully closed-minded. Formscapes genuinely has a deep understanding of philosophy and epistemology. Dave literally called Formscape a "hypocrite" for "criticizing Science but still using Science to make videos" which is a very old and blatant strawman. Dave is a fucking monkey.

Professor Dave's denial of Science Dogmatism is utterly pathetic.

I think you're still missing the point that "science is imaginary" means "rigour is imaginary". And I don't think scientists come up with bad research because they're just "fucking around". Some scientists release bad research because it actually helps their careers (at least for a while). Integrity is at an all time low because people care more about success than truth (and this isn't unique to science.) I don't like the way you framed things as "Psychedelic experience needs to be balanced out with Rigour" which implies that psychedelic modes of thinking is the reason why scienctists supposedly are "fucking around" which I know is not what you mean to say.

My mistake. I've editted it from "anti-human" to "inhumane".

Dogmatic Postmodernist Bullshit. But in all seriousness, sure, but it's still an inhumane worldview mostly based on propaganda and falsehoods. Not all worldviews are equivalent.

I was responding specifically to your phrase "Just take a look at the world. . ." So don't try to convince me into believing that you're only talking about science as an isolated relative construct. I've dealt with enough paranoid science defenders like you to know that you don't know when you're delving into far greater topics than you realize. Science will not just become better with more Rigour. Science will also become better with more Love, Ethics, and Consciousness. Science will become better with more Truth.

Dogmatic pragmatism bullshit. A better efficient way to gas the Jews, for example, does not lead to a better world.

Leo is arguing against the scientific virtue of scientism dogma (i.e science's precious "rigor") For most scientists, to question their notions of what is possible would threaten their careers. That's why most scientists don't care about real epistemic rigor.

Infinite Waters guy was big into Covid vaccine skepticism. He also just comes across as an empty-headed hippie weirdo.

Here's something more accurate Science Paradigm = Creating a beautiful walled garden where everything is rainbows and sunshine and everyone gets free ice cream Spiritual Paradigm = Learn how to contemplate OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!!

Science starts with a lot of hypothesizing before any observation. Spirituality begins by observing Consciousness as purely and accurately as you can and then pondering about what it is and what is posssible. So in that sense, you kinda have things backwards.

James Tour seems smart and educated. Prof. Dave is only educated. Tour shouldn't be wasting his time debating arrogant twats like him. Tour himself admitted that it's next to impossible to prepare to debate something as complicated as Biogenesis.

This point never made sense to me. Trump doesn't come from a race of orange-skinned ugly-blonde-hair people. It's like calling someone racist towards white people for finding Micheal Jackson ugly.

Just the clip: He's so smug and the interviewer is just dumb-founded I'm calling it, this is Musk's "Up Yours, Woke Moralists" moment.

Jesus, Musk is losing his mind.
