    I got a question 

    Would you consider a wild animal free?

    At 26:17 you talk about the myth of freedom and that it’s counterintuitive by its nature because one can never be truly free, are animals not free?

    An animal is only as free as its relative position on the food chain allows them to be.

    @IJB063 Here is what lassez faire does:

    2 people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of people in america.

    Amazon pays 0 dollars in taxes. 

    In america, the richest country on earth, we have people dying due to not having access to health care. it costs $3000 to call an ambulance. Drug price inflation is sky high.

    We neglect maintaining our infrastructure... it is crumbling all across the country since the Reagan tax cut precedent. 

    We have severe k-12 educational inequality. Also, college costs an arm and a leg. People who go to it are typically debt slaves.

    -Immigration causes a society to be more strongly connected and less polarized

    Wrong, look at Robert Putnam's (a democratic public policy professor at Harvard) research, immigration less social connection to the in and the out-group, it leads to a total loss of social capital, and a weakening of the society's social fiber.

    It depends on how immigrants are accommodated. My parents are both immigrants and they have assimilated to america pretty damn well.

    -Differences in SES are mainly sociological in nature, not at all biological

    Wrong, IQ and conscientiousness the two biggest facets of succes are highly heritable and genetic, IQ is about 80% genetic, about as much as height. I do not believe in IQ differences between races, however i do believe in IQ differences between individuals.

    This is honestly a dog whistle to white supremecy if you apply that to what is happening in america right now... look up epigenetics, generational trauma, educational inequality, school to prison pipeline, etc...

    -Differences between men and women are purely sociological in nature, there are no biological differences.

    Wrong, Differences between men and women are highly genetic, they show up in all societies and are even bigger in more equal societies, killing the constructivist paradigm.

    You'll be hard pressed showing these facts to a bunch of lefties, they will burn you at te stake, it's modern fundamentalism.

    Now try to deconstruct this.

     

    There are obviously biological differences... the problem is when men try to confine women to specific roles and say they can't be leaders because "biology"...

    @-Tim- lol, I really don't feel like engaging any further with this discussion... I will just leave it at this:

     

    Yes, of course some countries are more socially developed than others... nobody denies that. just because America happens to be more developed than say saudi arabia does not mean that America is the pinnacle of what human development can be. Similar to how while the romans were relatively more developed than the barbarians, the romans had a shit ton of problems. 

    Nobody here hates white people or wants white people to feel guilty. you can isolate a few instances of toxic stage green in america and demonize the entire stage as being backwards based on only those isolated bits of toxicity. You won't learn or grow much by doing that though

    @IJB063 haha, I am for differing opinions, I am ok with blue and orange ideas being available on youtube... that said, people saying that blacks are genetically inferior due to their skull shapes with nearly 1 million followers. some 14 year old sees that... do you not see how that is problematic? you can't just have unrestricted free speech bucko. there is nuance and someone needs to draw the line. it isn't a good option to throw your hands up and say "well if the standard of where the line is is so relative... then there should be no line". It needs to be well thought out and the youtube terms of service is if you decide to look into it.

    If a private monopoly owned all the land. And to buy any land was extortionately high to the point it’s impossible to afford any land.  

    And this monopoly can kick you of this land despite you having no where to go.

    Is this right? 



     

    not a good analogy, a drunken jq conspiracy theorist is more than welcome to host his own private event where a bunch of other ignorant white supremacists can congregate and spew their verbal diarrhea. 

    it isn't like youtube is banning ben shapiro, JP, and whoever else is sharing blue/orange content... they aren't actively spreading dangerous beliefs with their platforms... youtube is purging actual white supremacists and it is their right to do so... ik you don't agree, but they have the legal right to do so.

    Claims: "Reality is nothing but a perspective".

    Makes a career out of strawmanning libertarian and right-wing belief systems. 

    Calls these belief systems "less evolved" by referring to his dumb neo-piagetian, teleological, spiritualist model.

    Have you ever wondered why no reputable political scientist has ever used Spiral Dynamics? Because it has no empirical backing whatsoever. You are ironically constructing an ideology from the ground up, using unscientific claims. Funnily you have no interest in debating me - because you know I could deconstruct your whole crooked endeavor. 

    Not so curious about the Truth now, huh?

    less evolved= more simplistic, more black and white, more egocentric, more contracted scope

    It is not just leo. there is a reason why professionals of history, sociology, economics, political science, psychology tend to have a heavy left wing bias across the board and would agree that right wing belief systems are less developed even if they don't necessarily know about sd... those kinds of belief systems simply don't hold up against nuanced academic discourse... yes, even that is just a perspective, but some perspectives are less contracted and encompass more perspectives than others, and thus relatively more truthful... 

    In order for you to realize this, it would require you to surrender your ego and put your world view on the chopping block... just consider that perhaps you really don't know shit about anything.

    Try to actively see the limitations in your own worldview before trying to point out the holes in others and use that as justification to maintain your own perspective without bothering to honestly assess it critically.
