@Enlightement That should be a national worry, it paints the picture that Americans are fools. For example, here in the UK we had Jimmy Savile, nobody batted an eye as he's so charismatic, and occupies the top position of the BBC, until his death, some girls came out with stories of him molesting them. It certainly painted the BBC as incompetent fools for allowing this to happen and not doing their background checks on the person.

@Scholar Great post and good thread! How this isn't popular and a hot topic trending here is questionable, as I'm similarly not getting a lot of views and discussions on some of my threads. Are we getting shadow banned?

@Enlightement Other than behaving strangely to some girls and a woman, and strange events with his family, he's okay for now, but he's age is catching up to him, so someone else must lead.

This is why you do research and learn some history: So embarrassing Why do this? There are other ways to do this, one way is do it like Sam Harris, delete your twitter account and move on, or if you're gonna be vocal about your opposition, better research the history before making such an ideological dogmatic and emotionally driven choice like that. Yikes.

@The Mystical Man Yes it is threatening, don't gaslight me, you are just wrong.

@Hardkill Even if Trump didn't bring back that much in manufacturing businesses in America, he has reformed and made policies around imprisonment harder, and signed of some acts that allowed black prisoners to have shorter sentences or be released Despite how much of a scammer Trump is, and how incompetent he is, he has made a few positive changes despite some negatives. Question is, are you too triggered and dogmatic to be reading this?

@Husseinisdoingfine Sigh, I wish we can just vote for another person than Donald Trump or Joe Biden. You know what? Let's vote in Eminem as president, clearly we need to vote in a new, fresh candidate, Eminem being president, giving up his rap god status over to MGK, as well all in the rap community know deep down, the better rapper in the beef.

@Carl-Richard Yes, the triangle and patterns of threes is a pretty powerful pattern in nature too. Nice post.

@Basman Seems like a good direction, but I also anticipate it'll be a bumpy ride.

@RebornConsciousness Yeah, it's a bit tragic to me although it does depend on many factors. I'm reminded of history again, when in the later parts of WW2 Germany was invading Russia, and BOTH Russian men and women were fighting in the front lines at Leningrad, it was such a fierce fighting that it was renamed Stalingrad for how they kept on defending that position and stalling the Nazi German blitzkrieg. I do think some Ukrainian women are fighting too, but from footages it seems most are just men.

@Thought Art I mean it's interesting because you can make the argument that a lot more people are bi themselves without realizing it, just by watching a porno with a hot man and woman doing it. Each body is hot, and the act is also hot, and you're getting aroused. Question is, which one are you getting aroused at: the chick, the cock, or the cock-a-doodle-do?

@Raze The problem is that there used to be a man power advantage in South, but over time the population of the north grew enough that land military is now equal. The bigger issue is tactical nukes that the North has demonstrated, with fake missles their missles range, and it's ridiculously long enough that it can hit the USA. All North Korea has to do, is strike ket strategic military bases within Sough Korea, and USE bases in korea, even though the biggest USA naval base in Hawaii will retaliate along witb others and nuclear warfare begins. Even before it escalates, and it's skirmishes, there's a lot of artillery from North and South that can last months, but Souel, capital of south Korea, is within bombardment of those artillery.

@RebornConsciousness TRUE! Feminism mostly works when a society is stable and peaceful enough, and is collectively secure against wars and invasions. Feminism is relative as well, there's good versions and toxic versions, as much as the men's rights movements, good versions and toxic ones, all depending on SD stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types and traits, states of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development in an individual's domains to societal domains, and ideological upbringing and indoctrination. These and many other factors changes what and how good/bad an idea is. Although biases and preferences are relative, I get more creative when looking at beautiful doujinshi, to me that's sexual transmutation, from being a bit horny, to then singing my heart out or drawing. Just eye orgasms of beauty stimulates my creativity.

@Epikur I kinda feel sorry for the south Koreans here. They're getting an increasing left wing ideology from within the country, Tik Tok brain spreading here as well with the face surgery and beautification problem which all traces to consuming too much social media and internet and cognitive decline, and on the other hand they got NORTH KOREA to the north, along with China, not to mention risk of war escalating with North's nuke prepping. They still got the best BBQ restaurants though.

@Yimpa They certainly can, cuz of all that extra dough.

@Thought Art I see. Which one do you prefer more, men or women?

@Yimpa Is this the same Disney that had the burning dragon accident recently? I think they need to set their priorities strait first.

@SunnyCyn Dully noted, no offense taken. Let's misdirect the energy, and fill our hearts with LOVE and CARE, and laughs:

@Thought Art Also, didn't you say you were asexual, or similar to @bejapuskas?

@Thought Art Yeah, it's gets complicated when we factor in age and when we can deconstruct the non-binary/binary and gender identity roles. I generally assume, best practice to identify with biological sex and gender role as the same first, and then later the person can deconstruct. Yeah, it's tricky. I do agree strong identity and ideology, and too much close mindedness might be bad, but some people have to assume and have axioms in the first few steps. Children can't be identifying with any object they see or fantasize being after schools, otherwise who can a person being a chair, or being an animal, or being a unicorn work their 9 to 5 job, and provide and protect themselves first?

@Thought Art Yes, gender expression can be very diverse, I think we have 50s gender pronouns and more. Because of how fluid and malleable identity and psychology can be it is so, because of this we have roleplaying, D&D, acting, film making, up to espionage and so on. Yes, he's a biological male sexed, and doesn't identify as a female, but rather as a cross dresser. Yes, gender dysphoria is a growing issue among children, and the science is still unclear if this is from confusion due to the child being confused what gender should they identify as or are peer pressured into identifying as transgendered, versus actually being born with gender dysphoria.

@Carl-Richard @Thought Art I do agree with this a bit, you are called what you are in an immediate appearances, direct experience as is comes first, concepts and ideas second. While it's great to be identified as your biological sex, and gender as one in alignment, some people will have different alignment between their biology and psychology, along with differences in stages of development, cognitive and moral development, personality types, states of consciousness, life experiences and other lines of development, in personal to societal domains, and other ideologies indoctrinated and groomed into your mind. Like with most things, each factor should be considered, Like it would be nice if I'm identified as a moderator and thought policeman, but if I force myself to make this identity rigid as who I am as a social construct, then my performances may get impacted, like I won't be able to play well in chess because instead of letting myself be a chess player, I'm stuck being a thought policeman/moderator of my thoughts.

@Jannes So, how are you doing today?

@Thought Art I agree with this perspective, because there's an order of operations, hierarchy and sequence of events that sometimes need to be acknowledged at least, and sometimes maintained. I also see this issue with capitalism versus communism and socialism, to me it's important that a country has at least implemented capitalistic economies first, secure good regulated markets and a trade system of imports and exports, before we implement socio economics modals. We can't just skip capitalism completely and the means of production and business and commerce and expect that we end up having a flourishing altruistic socialism based country, you need securities beforehand for not just selfishness from other foreign countries but also selfishness in different parts of the system. Similar with the transgender issue, a person must master being feminine and masculine, good mix of qualities from both, grounded, before going full trans, at the very least to think carefully before going the full transformation. Of course, many assumptions being made here, and I'm oversimplifying the complicated processes of the person and other psychological issues, which is why we need that report of the ratio of transgender ideology versus innate gender dysphoria. Maybe our future going forward in humanity, is radical transhumanism, maybe we evolve to be hermaphrodites via gene modifications and cybernetics and alien DNA splicing? Who knows.

@Jannes I see. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and sorry in advance if I was too interrogative, I just need to know and gain clarity through how you're making the meanings behind the words you use. I do agree that the importance of pronouns is relative, and in theory we can drop most of them, but in practice it is hard as these pronouns, not just in the English language but in foreign languages are pretty backed into the cultures it came from, so to change around language is to also slightly change and influence the cultures it came from, which can be difficult to do, which is why I used the examples of when it's casually face to face conversations because those social settings you have to talk a bit faster, and sometimes there's not enough time to talk slowly and be more philosophical and deliberate, at least in most social settings convenience is more important in context. Sorry in advance if this thread may become heated or locked, that user is one of the few that I had drama prior in another thread, and regardless of how I explained myself when at times I was joking I am now forever phobic. I'll leave if you don't want to continue this discussion, unless you have questions about my views here?
