  1. In Spiral Dynamics, Stage Blue = religion and Stage Orange = atheism. They consider Orange / atheism to be higher.
  2. Nah, you seem gullible to find it unbelievable that Ge would name an album "Hitler".
  3. It's because the teacher I got when I moved to a new school was an insane person, so I learnt to read and write in cursive very quickly. Man, Norway is so far behind in tech apparently.
  4. ye Also I'm calling him Ge from now on, since that was a typo I made.
  5. I don't like the album cover. It's hideous and unsettling. But make your case for it. Otherwise I'll probably listen to Jesus is King.
  6. What I've listened to has just not been that good. Not even remotely close to genius. But make your finest recommendation, like best you've got. Qualifications: the album cover can't be ugly, it can't overemphasize his stupidity, it has to actually be musically impressive.
  7. @Carl-Richard The maker of the video "debunking" high Ashkenazi IQ had an argument solely reducible to the fact the initial studies did not control for wealth. We don't know the data on rich Jews vs. poor Jews. If poor Jews also were above average, that would prove the Jews really do have high IQs and suggest the genetic hypothesis to an extent. But the preponderance of wealth Jews have access to has to come from somewhere, no? Intelligence? Educational obligation which intelligence is rooted in? Other cultural factors? Basic reasoning skills lead one to think the "debunker" must be wrong, because if we posit the other cultural factors through reasoning, that same logical trail brings up "intelligence culture" and thus discounting IQ would be arbitrary. tldr; the video is wrong. I couldn't really read or write until I was 8; now I'm receiving and gifting linguistic messages from God.
  8. Verbal intelligence > numerical intelligence > spatial intelligence among Jews is perfectly capable of explaining the disparity against non-Jews, since in terms of the practicalities of the various fields they have superiority in (being doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc.) logic using words or the internal monologue is the abstract-cognitive centralization responsible for everything else. Numerical intelligence is only useful for particular tasks, and spatial intelligence is essentially useless outside of engineering. Memory, especially short-term memory, is unnecessary for genius-level accomplishments (recall all the stories of Einstein having an atrocious memory, not being able to remember his own phone number). Now, of course, I'm over-generalizing here, but so do the categories on IQ tests. Mathematics and thinking about space can be done using only words, language can be done using numbers and visual conceptualizations, you can visualize shapes numbered (like seeing seven objects instead of the digit "7") or cognize shapes by their quantities (geometry), and you can write out the "program" for what space is like using only numbers (like a 101010000101 code for a video or image). So the separations between these "multiple intelligences" go away with holism and genuine creativity. But verbal IQ is what aligns most with the highest abstract intelligence, if you had to pick any of the categories away from the false categorization into the context of holistically true intelligence.
  9. It's not perfect, so it could be explained by either side of the debate; but there were twin adoption experiments related to race by this principle.
  10. Curse rarely so that when you curse it actually means something. But keep using words like "fool" non-stop. "You are a fool." "If you don't follow my blog you are a fool." "They are fools." "This is what a fool thinks."
  11. Fuck dat
  12. Racist's advocate (he can't defend himself, so I must do it for him). His argument is basically: 1. There is an IQ difference between the races. 2. IQ is mainly heritable, 80%. For example, if you have a white person raised in a high quality environment and a white person raised in a low quality environment, the difference in IQ is 80% attributable to genetics. 3. Therefore the IQ difference between a white person (presumably with a higher quality environment) and a black person (presumably with a lower quality environment) should be explainable 80% by genetics. 4. So because there are innate differences, people should be treated differently innately. If black students fail in academics or black professionals are underrepresented in business or media, it's because of biology and not environment. Meaning, no amount of environmental alteration will fix the underlying problem, and affirmative action takes away from the people "who really deserve it." ----------------------------------- I have plenty of valid and irrefutable arguments against what I presented above, but I wanna see what you enthusiastic progressives have to offer.
  13. "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." --Hunter S. Thompson
  14. I'm inclined to say the difference is environmental. But if we are going down the genetic route this seems pretty dubious for a variety of reasons (like neuro-structural disparities between the races, as in East Asians having higher developed temporal lobes and Europeans having higher developed frontal lobes). But yeah, this is basically just Heart of Race-ism. Heart of Race is uncomfortable with the idea of his inferiority because he's too accustomed to his own racist superiority ideas, and his open-mindedness is crippled because of it. Also racism as a type of fear seems to be genetically based, or at least biologically easy to develop (good basic Wikipedia article for this topic): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_and_race#Corrections And there's this. If Heart of Race actually wanted to do this correctly and attempt to validate his racism he'd have posted this, which is actually compelling when it comes to biology and history, instead of "just do a few seconds of research" and repeating the same nonsense over and over again. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2017/01/672_222907.html And:
  15. "greedy monkeys" My high school biology teacher used to compare us students to monkeys. Also she worked at a lab vivisecting monkeys.
  16. Could you put me in contact with this smeller? I wanna compare myself to you in terms of respawns.
  17. Sports are boring and dumb. But I like hockey sometimes because of the fights.
  18. I remember Trent Reznor saying something like "his new album sucked, and that's it." Here it is:
