Epikur

As far I can remember he clearly was against jews and all "genetically low iq" people with violent cultures and religions. He himself apparently promoted peace and raising children peacefully. Jordan Peterson never said something bad about jews as far as I can remember.

Seems like the "peaceful blockparty" has ended. The protestors can make the party in the major's house then. After all she liked "the summer of love blockparty".

I think many people think he is an opportunist. He is basically an upgrade to destiny. He learned his style from him. He got to his status with the help of destiny and hasan piker from tyt. Vaush became popular with him being edgy. His worker coop thing is not convincing at all. I didn't see any known leftist that defends this thing but it gives Vaush rhetorical power to make him look like a moral authority. Like destiny he doesn't like to talk with leftists in his show. I guess it's boring and he get's called out and cancelled all the time by them that is not fun. Fascists on the other hand are fun in the sense of a good versus evil story. Captain america (destiny) and Comrade america (Vaush) are fighting against the evil fascists (nazbols). I guess even fascists love that show because they get some platform for their ideology. I didn't see this one but I will I guess. They did this on individual talks many times already.

I don't know what he wanted to say maybe he wanted to say what Bret Weinstein said that the democratic party ran with the fringe left to distract from their corruption (that equally exists with the republicans) The way he speaks is working with the lizard brain with some elements of the frontal cortex. That makes it more "powerful" I guess.

Sorry but the guy is doing videos with Nicky Minaj he is playing at the top levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNg3M9IJJlY Look at his wiki page it's quite long https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6ix9ine

Seems like a different form of epistocracy to me: Sorry for the source but it's mostly bipartisan here

Team Cuomo

I don't think you understand Trump voters. I think they think that Trump has to play that character because there is no alternative. They think he is doing the right thing by being verbally aggressive but being actually not violent. He is playing tough in order not to be seen as weak. So things don't get too serious like in his foreign policy.

When you look into the world I don't see a functioning reality too much. Most progressive systems are in crises are faced with a lot of resistance. Some of them turn to conservatism like East Europe and Brazil. They lose a lot of power against conservative countries like China, Russia, Turkey in world affairs. They can't keep up. We have cases like Singapore where the system seems to work good enough by many peoples standards. It is a mix between liberal and conservative elements. https://www.quora.com/How-liberal-or-conservative-is-Singapore

You can conserve humanistic ideals (2000 years old) You can be progressive in bringing into life (2000 years old humanistic values)

You want to have a just society? Why not go full in? Why stop at a random red line?

I am not shure about that. His critics said that he will start World war 3. He is farer away from the worst case scenarios than the classic Bolton, Hillary warhawks who might have already be in war with iran and what not. His critics from his group critics him that he became to establishment. They want much more extreme action. The guy is the will of big parts of the people. You have to critisize these people not much changed there I guess.

Yes I know what you mean and that sounds right and good but you have the case that sometimes if you want to help a organisation or let's say a company you don't want to give the CEO or the most productive members what they are worth otherwise you might destroy the company. Democratisation sounds good on paper in realitiy it's quite a mess. I made that thread about epistocracy. It reminds me always of Vaush's pet project the worker coops and the democratization of the work place. It does not sound realtistic at all. So you might be careful if you want to sacrifice a working system.

Who knows there might come a neo conservative revival.

Well it is early morning here. I wrote some stuff in the politics for the warm up. Till I started posting here I was not fluent in writing in a forum in english. Now it feels quite nice and I feel the flow. Anyway let's get back to the hard things. That is doing the work. Yesterday I was at say 50% of what I wanted. So I feel it's ok. This time I started with my Journal early. Let's see if that is going to make a change. Yesterday I did not do Karaoke till 4pm but boy after doing that I felt happy. Specially after doing a lot of meditation and having done my workouts I could really integrate it to feel happy and energetic. Yesterday I did not do much reading and that showed. I need the novel reading so that my brain works halfways ok. Yesterday before sleep I did some reading that helped me a lot this morning. My brain was quite active. I am thinking about implementing some dance routines. I may write a little challenge in the dance thread. I like the thread. Also because the people have so different tastes from me.

After warming up in the forum to get used to writing in english it's time to get more into the heart of the things that is the things I don't want to do but think I should do. I am not shure yet how I am going to organize my little projects I guess with time some patterns will show up. At the beginning I want to go into it very slowly. As we know habits should be created slowly and regularly. I guess the first step is to post maybe 2 times a week or more. I would like to post daily but that sounds too optimistic but I might still try it. Another side effect I hope is that I might stop posting so much in the politics forum for obvious reasons. So what are my routines or rituals I want to work on? Most of them I do for years. I start with karaoke. I love this routine. It gives a lot of emotional energy. Some may say it opens the chakras.

He is the sign of decay of the US you could say. If you make a clown your president who do you blame? The clown or the country?

If the white people in the US lose their drive things might get very challenging too. The white people seem to lose their energy to engage domestically and and globally. Globally the chinese might just take over. How would you envision China being the world super power and the US becomes as strong as France?

Again it creates a chain reaction world wide. You have countries like Poland. They see what is going on. If they are conservatives they will be much more rough against liberals. The harder you push the harder you might get a push back from places you don't expect and with huge time delay. People remember. That is something you have to put into the calculation even if you think you are right.

Yes you have the founding docs and than you have reality I guess. What do you prefere? The US is founded by taking land from others. The legitimation was because we are are stronger, because god wants it, because we have a superior culture because we don't care anyway. Later Europe was on fire. So the US got the job of world police some would say biggest warlord. It's a matter of perception I guess but probably some would bet without the US we would have more chaos in the world. Hard to find out. Bottom line big part of the US is about because we can. Of course you have also what you pointed at with democracy of the founding fatheres (mostly from britain?)

I mean you are right but that is not something new. It's like saying simbabwe will hardly make it to the moon because they don't have the foundations. Well yes. The next step is why and are there faster ways to get higher? Some places like Tibet, India, Thailand have meditation in their culture. It helps somewhat but not too much. Life is messy and meditation seems to be a way for the few. I think spirituality is not reasonable at all because it kills the will to make kids and life. You become nihilistic relativistic basically. It does kind of go against how we think nature works.

It's all about chain reaction. The US is a social construct. If you take away the pillars and try to replace it you make a bet. You want more justice? You might want to get rid of the US. It is an empire. You have to destroy the US basically. So envision that. How do you think it will look if there is no US anymore? If it looks good go for it.

Bring in some millions of refugees from Afghanistan and middle east and Africa. Then it gets really "divers"

I mean something else. The different groups are in general in a cease fire. They know they want more but they live in a compromise. If one group starts to get "greedy" it creates a chain reaction like with gang wars. Struggle do dominate. So even if you think you are right. There are people who can make it much worse. That is why Sam Harriss started to believe the US is heading to the Weimar Situation. Things back fired hard by trying to overthrow "tyranny". Life is hard sometimes it seems like hell. A compromise between Stockholm Syndrom and war. Ah yes and the hope for utopia.

Who can do it? Is it even possible? Like herding cats? It's not even that diverse in many US cities. Put in some more orthodox communists, orthodox muslims, tribals and things will get a little bit more challenging.
