@zurew My guess for @StarStruck's argument for why Covid-19 was only targeting some with heart disease and cardiac issues, is that he's engaging in a mental hypothetical assuming all else is equal, due to the Covid-19's spiked protein effecting blood cells, he thinks myocarditis is probably bio engineered to target the lungs and hearts of those with weaker immune systems, plus the vaccine,, and those with respiratory and cardiac issues already. Of course, such a stage yellow systemic hypothetical from a stage orange dating PUA guy is profound from within their mind, while either distorting, deleting, or denying deeply the exceptional myopic and stupid take because such a person is in a 'if all else is equal' mental constructed hypothetical, over simplifying an overly complex issue like Covid-19's global effects worldwide. This is probably why open mindedness is more valuable than close mindedness, and engaging in philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and developmental psychology in good faith communications.

@StarStruck Because it was a life and death situation for the whole world, and we sort of survived and got away from Covid-19 pandemic luckily. Imagine if instead of Covid-19 we got a mutated, bio-weapon like a Cordyceps fungus that infects human beings and spreads mainly from getting bitten to spores being spread from mutated cordyceps mushrooms. Humanity as we know it, and the social order of various countries would fall apart, the infection would spread too quickly and zombies everywhere that there'd be no time for arguing pro or anti vax or big tech companies or big pharma corruption, there'd be everyone fighting zombies and trying to survive the mutated fungus. I hope, and pray, that many groups looking at how the world handled this Covid-19 pandemic learn their lessons, and systemic vulnerabilities, otherwise when an actual world ending pandemic happens, again mutated cordyceps, and various groups mishandle similarly, making historic past mistakes, we'd be screwed.

@Hatfort Compare and contrast these two videos talking about sexuality and dating, from a conservative/religious point of view versus a neo-liberal/progressive point of view: and Looks and feels like two different approaches to talking about sex and dating, and even personal development right? Yet the first video has too much perverse incentives to bad faith argue each other's points, with little good faith exchange of ideas between a more traditional/conservative frame of dating and sex and premarital sex and marriages, which biases for monogamous relationships, versus the more modern, more stage orange individualist, more transactional relationship, more PUA, more liberal minded frame of dating and sex and marriages, with neither side giving a deep and broad enough context for why dating and sex exists and why marriages exists, just only interested in undermining for views.

@Hatfort The reason why is because the internet and online communities and cultures, including big tech companies have mostly ruined the brains of Gen M and Z, especially these online variations of those political ideologies, with their internet speak. For example, look at when a tech company made Tik Tok, the most addictive online social media site due to the infinite scroll, algorithms that hyper curate content to user's biases creating more echo chambers that reinforce bad ideologies, auto beautify profile pictures which leads to more narcissism and false self image issues. Most social media platforms have in their format a way to hijack the limbic system in the brain to get you hooked and addicted, as tech companies focus on audience attraction and retention regardless of brain rot and mental health issues later on, and due to click bait culture and algorithms pushing shorts and low brow sound bits of some long format video, the mass theft and plagiarism of the react community stealing impressions whilst squeezing the small content creators in YouTube, it has overall made a toxic environment for the information ecology of people's minds. Look at Twitch, streaming community and social media platforms like Twitch, encouraging para socialization for profit and gain, because the persona of the streamer, and how they charm and use charisma, poisons the minds of the viewers and chatters, just look at social media online political debates, a bunch of silly immature takes and behaviors that are perversely incentivized by big tech and online celebrities in their online spaces to do those behaviors of bad faith communications and uncharitable takes, which is upregulated and valued more for views and drama, and the good faith communications devalued more because less eyeballs. We have a sociopathic streamer doing the podcast runs on YouTube, a very healthy society would not platform such a character that uses open relationships to create drama, furthering degenerate views of relationships. Mean Green memes by Ken Wilbur is a thing when stage green is excessive, and does not integrate the finer and good qualities of the lower stages.

I mean her explanation of capitalism, what it is and why we need it, an adequate explanation? Do you think she's underestimating the potential dangers of predatory capitalism or what?

@Reignforest Tuberculosis, and the world wars?

@Razard86 Let's assume all that you written is true, that we are one, that there's no seperation, that there's an intelligence and infinity and magic and love here at work. Okay, so if all that's the caee, then why did you change your profile picture? Infinite intelligence, in this screen, mind, magic and Crysty, has told me that you have changed your profile picture because you felt insecure and threatened by @justfortoday when he stated he can see past your shades. Plus, you also changed your ptofile pic to become closer to @Leo Gura. Therefore, those claims are absolutely true, that you changed out of insecurity and need, assuming it's true.

@r0ckyreed What do you mean? So basically incompleteness theorem disproves and discredits Leo's spiritual insights? So no infinity and no awakening, acfording to you, that feels hateful to Leo? Why do you do this? Why do you mistake awakening for incomplete theorum? There's a good reason why that Solipsism video, and blog post was taken down, and why he brought down the Israel/Palestine conflict blog post, it's because of misunderstandings like this. Wait for it, Leo might bring his blog post down because another user is misunderstanding incompleteness theroum with AWAKENING and attacking him over it. Who wants to bet the blog post might get taken down?

@Hardkill Calm your exclamations. What I mean by a political move is not to dismiss or downplay Joe Biden or his administration a bit, putting aside my biases against him. What I mean is to not trust too readily when politicians move and act like this, Too often I see manipulative acts of kindness, so a bit of realism is needed, don't get too hyped up. I guess it's great for a president to do this, Joe Biden, to go to that piket line or whatever and show some support for the working class and labour union, that's cool. I also consider the first president with no political background but business savvy and manipulative charm a remarkable event to also be a great moment as well, when Trump became president. Both events are remarkable, yet often people on both political sides, ignorant of development factors and manipulation dynamics would fall victimto binarh thinking, and polarise one siee over the other.

@Hardkill It's still a political move.

This the next one, even more convincing body language analysis and tonality. The person also has anti mainstream biases but if this person feels there's something wrong or missing, and this person's bias is similar to Russel Brand, IMO that's a significant red flag: Oh, and speaking of the white shirt Russel Brand is wearing, I find it poetic and symbolic that it's pattern is a bunch of dragon flies. What are dragon flies? Insects that pray on flies and other smaller insects. Basically dragon flies are predators, so wearing a thing that means predator while being accused of being a sexual predator, that's poetic and not a good look, add to that colour psychology, in the west white=purity and innocence, so I guess poetically he's a pure and innocent sexual predator???

This the next one, even more convincing body language analysis and tonality. The person also has anti mainstream biases but if this person feels there's something wrong or missing, and this person's bias is similar to Russel Brand, IMO that's a significant red flag:

A mature take of why Destiny sucks at debating Vegans:

@mostly harmless So, are you referring to close ended questions as wrong? And what is wrong with dichotomy?

@mostly harmless So you don't agree with this video? and If the capitalism and socialism dichotomy makes most people not see alternatives, is there something wrong with dichotomies? Does that mean comparisons and contrasts are wrong?

@Hatfort It could be another political stunt to gain more favor. Can't be too quick to trust Biden or his administration.

@Hojo Definite agree that parents should try to control when they use the internet, if it's elementary to mid schoolers it's too young to let them use the internet and use other social media platforms like they're harmless. Nope they're not, so many mental health issues from the internet/online usage and overuse of social media, from algorithms and A.I designed to hijack your limbic brain, to hook and maintain your attention via hyper stimuli, degrades attention spans leading to more attention deficit disorders, and more narcissism/self entitlement from auto beautification, more sociopathic/psychopathic behaviors from anonymity and click baits and chasing view counts, even increasing digital addiction via scrolling, clicking and animated buttons and gifs. Even the format for most of these social media sites have perverse incentives from big tech companies to pray on the mind of consumers, to make them even more susceptible to future digital hijacking of their brain, which results in a net negative for the ecology of the mental health of the masses, and other negative developmental factors.

@Hojo I can agree for real, I don't like special treatment especially if said person instigated hate, then complains and victim cards or victim shields when they can't handle hate reflected back or an argument back at them. Yeah, victim mentality and playing the victim nowadays, In Nietzsche's view, to paraphrase, is the 'new opioid of the masses when confronted.', or something like that.

@Tanz So your reply to me pointing out your logical fallacies, assumptions and questions here: Is to name call and character assassinate me, and take out of context my response to your hypothetical by making me look like a right wing anti vax conspiracy theorist, to then misquote and twist my hypothetical? Then you character assassinate these 4 women by stating 'that they NEVER even tried to go to the police and if they did, it was 10 years later.', and look over the coercion, black mail, threats, and gas lighting that Russel Brand and other male celebrities would do to them to silence them? Do you realize your male centric biases you are projecting onto this situation, assuming hat the 4 women can logically report to the police the rape, and skip over the emotional manipulations that silence these women? If you don't know the truth, the whole situation, Brand and the 4 women, why do you assume what the 4 women were up to, and what Brand was up to before then? Why are you assuming fault of the women and the media? How about you engage with your own hypothetical, that I've pointed out logical flaws of? Why are you dodging your own hypothetical?

Very good example of immaturity, and how toxic and brain corrosive the internet and online communities can be via tech companies that have social media sites like Tik Tok, Twitter, Twitch, Kick, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, 4Chan, Reddit, and many more sites that use AI, programs and algorithm to curate and hyper tailor content to user biases and preferences, that hooks and audience captures by hijacking the limbic brain system with hyper stimuli, designed digital addiction via scrolling and clicking and liking chasing more dopamine, increasing attention deficit disorders, Narcissism, sociopathy and even psychopathy as a result, increasing online gaming addiction and social media content addiction. Notice that all social media sites pray on the vulnerable parts f our brains to develop para socialization of social media influencers, online personalities and brands that the tech companies that have hired and supported most of the content creators take advantage of, and through A.I create echo chambers that grow, proliferate ideologies to other media and even spills over to the real world with hyper distortions of reality, which inevitably creates someone like Vegan Gains here, and this pointless drama between him and Penguinz0/Moistcritical/Charlie. Besides the online domain, capitalism and big tech incentives, there's also many other developmental factors that make this situation not just much worse in the future, but also complicated as we will have multiple causations and correlations that adds onto the regression of other developmental factors. Please reduce your social media use, ideally stop if possible. P.S. I disagree with the Internet Anarchist labelling Vegan Gains argument, which addresses the hypocrisy of Penguinz0's take on the female YouTuber eating an octopus alive when he weeks later made a video content, a vlog, of him and his GF filming him trying to cook sausage. Although it's not symmetrically a hypothetical, but asymmetrical in terms of species and method of consumption and hidden racism/xenophobia(a pig slaughtered in a factory farm, in a slaughter house, then processed and packaged and transported to grocery stores, malls and supermarkets for commodity and sale versus an octopus eaten alive on camera which adds transactional value and content making incentives of her Asian culture in comparison and contrast to Penguinz0's western American culture) and touches upon the moral and ethical implications. It's a valid argument, albeit may not be sound enough nor convincing and persuasive enough given his extreme takes and psychopathic/sociopathic personality online. IMO it's a reasonable sounding argument that is moderate in strength, could have been improved in other areas like commenting on capitalistic drives, commodity and perverse incentives, however if he does go all the way to solidly make his argument sound, he'll also have to address the online/internet space perversions and drives to make sensational content as well.

@Tanz Just because you didn't state that, doesn't mean you were not implying the assumptions. Not one rape case was covered by the media? You are assuming financial costs of reporting to the police, but what about the emotional, psychological costs? What if the women were gas lighted, coerced, blackmailed and intimidated to not report to the police by the famous celebrity rapist? You are assuming that the lack of police investigation is why the person, the woman, goes to the media, why are you assuming one motivation? What if the woman goes to the media because they were emotionally and psychologically manipulated to not report to police? That hypothetical of your neighbor blowing up your car, and you not reporting to the media first but to the police assumes that the neighbor hasn't gaslighted, coerced, blackmailed, and made threats of harm or death upon you or your family. What if the neighbor bullies and coerces you to not report at all to police or media? What if said neighbor has blackmail material of your wife naked, or your nakedness, and threatens to release those nudes? What if the neighbor threatens the life of your wife or kids if you report, hold them hostage? After all, if the neighbor is capable of blowing up your car, then the neighbor is very capable of manipulation tactics against you, your wife, or your children, and manipulating you into silence. What if the neighbor has police connections? How would you resolve such a violent and manipulative situation?

@Tanz You're assuming the 4 women in that documentary are doing this because the women only care to gain money off of Russel Brand because he's famous. Why are you assuming this? No, some media do cover rape situations which involve catholic priests and teachers at preschool. They even cover some mass shootings, terrorists acts, bombings. Why are you assuming all media don't cover other rape cases? If the media is the gatekeeper of such things they would be undermining the law and anyone can go to them and attack a famous person because it's so easy? Can you see how you presume so many assumptions here, because if any of that is different it will undermine your logic, because what if the media isn't gatekeeping? what if the media isn't undermining the law? What if some people go to the media to tell their story because they can't afford the legal system and the legal costs of filing against a famous person that has so much financial security and even powerful connections to make the legal process hellish for the rape victims? What if the media is their only option, because they are coerced, threatened, intimidated, and blackmailed into not filing?

@Consept This is true, though depending as you said on if there's coercion, manipulation, blackmail or intimidation that causes the female victims to not report to the police, to feel scared and gas lighted to not do so, for the low conviction rates or even the finance of the whole legal situation. In that documentary, of the 4 women alleged to be raped, there was that one women who texted, gone to a medical center for a rape kit and had anti biotics, maybe the most compelling. A super-injunction? True, the media is the only option left when the justice and legal systems fail the rape victims. Or revenge and killing the rapist, if they are that motivated. Although with the electric company one, there's still that option to file a lawsuit and take them to court. Having said that, if your financial situation is bad such that you can't offered all the legal stuff, then maybe social media and media is the next thing then.

This entire thread is wild, and this rape accusation of Russel Brand is like this podcast here, of Carlos out of left field making a weird analogy between plagiarism and joke theft to rape accusations: Good example of both sides unaware of developmental factors of this situation like value systems, cognition, morality, personality types/traits, ego development and shadow selves, life experiences and other lines of development in society and life, ideological beliefs indoctrinated by culture, self biases and preferences, and other factors that make plagiarism and conflicts of interest. IMO, both sides of this issue are seeing past each other in binaries and are polarizing. In Carlos's side there are pros and cons, he to himself clearly sees he didn't steal, yet he objectively has stolen the wall joke and the other joke, as far as hundreds of other jokes we don't know so he'll deny in that part. From my body language analysis and tonality, it's clear he's being defensive, few areas of deception, but I feel like it's against the accusation of plagiarism both Bobby Lee and his GF are slipping in. Bobby Lee and his GF's perspectives also have pros and cons. They side with the victims of this theft, and are trying to get Carlos to capitulate to a stage green value extreme of apologizing blanket statement, almost trying to get him to virtue signal sorrow. However, they overlook other developmental factors and personality types/traits, like what if to Carlos he's a psychopath or a sociopath and doesn't feel genuine sorrow? Therefore, why does he have to blanket apologize to everyone who suffered from joke theft? What if they're wrong, biased, and ideologically driven to pressing Carlos for his lack of empathy, not saying sorry, and lack of understanding for the 'victims'? Personally I don't care that much in this context, like if you are offended and triggered that some other comedian steals your joke, so what? Be more creative and come up with another joke lines, adjust how you write your stand up comedian scripts, and improvise more and be more observational. In a different context, IMO it's more risky in the writing industry, with Novelists, the issue of plagiarism is far more worse because authors do 300-500 or more pages per book, 10,000 to 1000,000 words written per book, usually takes 3-6 months or more to complete. Compare this to stand up comedian material, which is around 300-600 or even up to 1,000 words for some who are literate biased and too logical, clearly the joke plagiarism is lesser than the novel plagiarism. In fact the easy remedy to this is to be more spontaneous, random, witty, playful, creative, and outside the box with the humour. In fact every goal of every comedian should be to release original and new material, recycled a bit to mostly brand new. THAT SOLVES THE JOKE PLAGIARISM! There could be a number of factors why plagiarism exists, but IMO plagiarism is due to someone trying to cut corners, easy mode, a lazy minded way to make more money and attention. It's opportunistic.

@Jehovah increases Come on, don't troll me.
