@Basman Which is why most debates and arguments about abortion avoid the trimester angle. As soon as a person tries to justify abortion and extend it to after the baby's umbilical cord is severed, to third trimester, to second trimester and even first trimester it makes the pro abortion debater look psychopathic and inhuman, which is why most would argue around the first few weeks to 2 months of pregnancy as a good window to consider and follow through the abortion. Also that angle entails the philosophical issue of personhood as well as the epistemological issue of where the line is drawn which ends up creating self looping arguments over and over.

@spiritual memes Add to that minds don't merge together to understand fully the exact nature of how much a person suffers, already makes decisions to euthanize tricky. Majority of cases rely on self reporting and outer behaviors to determine if such a thing must happen. As every American loves and fight for freedom of speech, there should also be freedom of choice, to euthanize your own life if suffering is too much and long term/for the remainder of that person's life. There should be a legal right and legal process to allow such a thing to happen in certain cases as some people can suffer so much and some can't will power through that intensity and volume of suffering. Abortion is already even more trickier than euthanasia.

@LSD-Rumi Why would you impregnate a woman with your inferior genetics in the first place? Why would you make your GF/wife bare your problematic flesh? If abortion is okay with you, when would you abort the fetus? And what conditions must be met to justify abortion?

When did this thread become so creepy?

@Emerald You did bully me using etymology calling me a bundle of sticks, but okay, if you're not a chill person and can't take a joke, fine.

@Epikur A government of science, technology, engineering, mathematics. Super efficient governance.

@StarStruck Screw that British guy! He is not justified to give a fucking critic of Leo when he himself is deeply a hypocrite! I say Leo actually deserves an annual break from this work and to file lawsuits to those who slander him and his work given the amount of BS flung his way.

@aurum I agree, straw manning Desantis as the next Adolf Hitler and Neo Nazi ain't helping the discourse at all, poisoning the well with bad faith communication. Desantis is a Republican American, not a German Nazi. How many people are effected with the Vaush rhetoric of ALL REIGHT WINGERS ARE NAZI? True, I partly agree, every decision in politics isn't perfect, every decision has consequences. Therefore, we pick the decisions with ideally the least consequences, for example we leave children with gender dysphoria alone until they turn 20(it's 18 but I want to round the number up, I love rounding up numbers), we then observe what happens, and we see that most on average with gender dysphoria grow out of that confusing state, while some or a few still have the gender dysphoria around 18 year old, and some resolve the gender dysphoria earlier as well. This decision clearly has less risk, compared to going strait to hormonal therapy and gender surgery which can be complicated to retransmission from. To me being conservative minded here is more practical and effective than being liberal minded here yes? True, I somewhat agree with Marianne Williamson's progressive sounding points. I'd rather have be balanced out and grounded with being more conservative minded, given how sometimes off the rails progressive ideas can go in practice, like be more Margaret Thatcher like or something? Like be more reasonable and less fantastical? Because these policies can and do have effects on peoples lives? Just because we've exhausted talking about Marianne Williamson's chances of winning, doesn't justify continuing the thread and derailing this thread, or which justification do you think is valid for justifying the continued derailing? What does Progressivism, LGBTQ, Nazism, Fascism, Desantis, Trump, Aliens, Ghosts, A course in miracles, have ANYTHING TO DO with the main thread point: Marianne Williamson's chances of winning?

@Epikur At Lex Fridman, but now that I've seen this video Michael Malice is getting some piece as well.

@Epikur So what government are you for? I'm for a STEM government, a government that stems from actual reality, that all people are fundamentally BS and should be treated carefully. The general population of today is not ready for hippie commune world. Diss track inbound.

@Nilsi I don't think you've given a charitable interpretation of Daniel Schmachtenberger's view here, which leads @Leo Gura to go to the wrong conclusions.

@Tanz Man, I recently like what you've been posting and it's a good read, but sometimes you have posts like these above? To me is a really big assumption, of destroying the Federal system and letting these communes communities develop under a few rich people. What makes it an appealing notion to you?

Dude, just thinking of him gives me migraines.

@Leo Gura Fair enough I'll stop mentioning Lex Fridman, and block him completely from my socials. Just thinking of him hurts my head.

@Epikur While PBD is himself a libertarian/capitalist, here he's right in giving this Michael Malice's view of an Anarchistic society. Great share!

@Leo Gura And this is the guy that gone on Lex Fridman's podcast multiple times, spouting his ideological views. Again I don't want to throw shade at Lex, but again the guy should know better than to make a person's who an ideologue okay in the general public, you have takes like this that start sounding okay, which can become a problem. He either should take firmer stance or question more aggressively the other's point of view, or don't offer to continue platforming their names again.

@Something Funny I can relate, empathize and understand, that jealousy and envy is and can be sometimes a big hurdle, BTW, is the second most evil and deep rooted negative emotion in human beings, second compared to Sadism/masochism, which is part of the 3 dark triads of personality types out there. So hang in there, and keep doing the inner work of resolving this feminine shadow of your ego that you yourself disown and schism apart from wakeful consciousness.

@Hardkill Only 5% of those 8/10,9/10 and 10/10 hot girls will be doing personal development work...but that's a very small number, most 90-95% of hot chicks won't be doing and self actualization work.

@Arcangelo It's a decent block chain, very promising. Can't wait when capitalistic economy marries communistic economy.

@Arcangelo That's a slogan right there. You have the makings of a movement already.

@How to be wise I don't like how this question is framed, it's like a questatement, and I've seen this one done before in abortion debates. Like you're trying to get a gotcha moment.

Like the level of derailing of this threat is an artform @Carl-Richard. We started off talking about Marianne Williamson, being a progressive woman and candidate, and our first argumentation was about the likelihood off her winning the whatever political levels first to debate with Biden. Then the argument started including sub argument or subplots like Donald Trump, and Ron DeSantis and topics, or another argument thread about whether Rebublicans/American Republicanism are Nazi/Fascists, and yes here I interjected with a joke about tendons and ligaments and the world still needs scientists that study fascia because the derailing was getting apparent to me, and @Emerald bullied me using etymology from Wikipedia or whatever. Oh, yes somewhere in between these two new arguments I brought up Margaret Thatcher as the female conservative equivalent of Marianne Williamson but whatever again because most users at that point were swept up with the tides of derailing. Now we're at a new third type of argument, specifically about progressivism and...gender therapy and transgender ideology???Okay, where does Marianne Williamson fit into this new argument, and how does it tie back to her likeliness of being in the final debate????

I really hope when I'm dead, I don't reincarnate into this world again. Maybe a ghost or an Alien would be cool.

Maybe Jim Carry, Chris Rock?

Can you imagine a DnD game with this kind of game mechanics and quality? So beautiful to play:
