  1. Tate talking about the enslavement of the populus, as if he is a communist
  2. A question to all, which is not about moralizing or taking sides, just about predicting. What do you think will be the future of the Palestine/Israel conflict? 1) Israel control over entirety of Palestine and most Palestinians end up leaving to other countries. 2) Israel control over entirety of Palestine, and Palestinians stop resisting and continue to live there under very poor conditions. 3) Israel control over entirety of Palestine, and Palestinians stop resisting and continue to live there under good conditions 4) Israel control over entirety of Palestine, but Palestinians keep violantly resisting and war continues for the next 20+ years. 5) 2 autonomous, independant, peacefull states. 6) 2 autonomous, peacefull states, but Palestine is not allowed to have a military. 7) 2 autonomous, independant, peacefull states, but with completly different borders. 8) unification of Israel and Palestine, under a secular constitution. 9) Israel anexation of Palestine, but Palestinians gain full citizenship. 10) Israel anexation of Palestine, and most Palestinians are forced to leave. 11) Israel dissolution and Israelis gain full citizenship in Palestine. 12) Israel dissolution and Israelis have to flee.
  3. In the interview with Piers Morgan he said that all his bank accounts were frozen and that his possession were taken. He seemed to have worried a lot about his financial situation, whilst in jail. I highly doubt this man donated that amount of money. Is there any trust worthy proof that he donated so much money. This man is a grifter and will say whatever he wants to gather support online.
  4. @BlueOak I am sorry but FOX news is not as radical as those internet spaces including twitter, etc. FOX news still has a liberal voice in their pannels. OAN is more radical BUT STILL. OAN is also not as blatlantly promoting racism and conspiracy theories as you see it happening online. This crazy to say but they are still better. @hoodrow trillson True! It is actually quite interesting why the internet radicalizes us. The common explanation was echo chambers, but it turns out that your real life is a bigger echo chamber than your online life. Online you are way more confronted with differing views. Even if you are watching people with similar views, you are often watching them react to opposing views. Whereas in real life you just did not really care about the others. The people around you was what you cared for and those have usually similar thoughts than you. But the confrontation with opposing views is not the only driver of radicalisation in my opinion. A big factor has to be the attention grabbing mechanism at play and the underlying attention industry, the cognitive stage of capitalism.
  5. Radicalization is crazy nowadays. It really kickstarted during the Covid pandemic. Trust in academia, media and institutions erroded, we now live in the reign of idiots. Conspiracy theories, ideologies, anything that feeds the ego, is spreading fast. And Idiots don't have to feel ashamed anymore. They have gained a critical mass to self validate and all moderating barriers (academia, conventional media, institutions) are extremly weakened. When the left goes left, the right goes right. Who knows where this will end. But some amount of violance is almost guaranteed. My hope is that the left gets rid of stupid ideologies and starts convincing some of the moderate idiots.
  6. Has anyone else seen this interview with roman finkenstein?
  7. The things that shocks me, is that israelis are fine with creating an ethno state. Imagine the US or any developed country came out and said "we will from now on give special priviledges to christians". This would be crazy. But if Israel does it, it is somewhat okey and I don't know why. Every developed country needs to seperate State and Religion and so should Israel. There should not be an exception for Israel.
  8. @Gennadiy1981 what's interesting, is that you say palestinians don't allow israel to exist, but you don't allow Palestine to exist either. You basicly said that the entire region including Gaza and the west bank should belong to the jewish population. Does not seem like you are very different from one another in this regard.
  9. I wonder when politicians will have the courage to call Israel out. Everyone seems too afraid to do it. Scared of being smired as an antesemite.
  10. @Leo Gura hmm but there is an important discussion to be held what should be owned and operated by the state and what shouldn't. Liberalism wants almost everything privatized (even firefighters right?) and socialism (or social democracy) is interested in owning and operating a lot of goods and services.
  11. That's not true. Public Housing (50% of buildings in Vienna are publicly owned). Public Healthcare. Railway. Public transport. Public baths.
  12. What do you count even as socialism? In my books, a road is socialism already. Where do you draw the line?
  13. @StarStruck bro you are taking "blame the victim" to astronomical heights I agree however the people who organized this festival were irresponsible. The threat of a terrorist of any kind was definitly to high to create a festival there.
  14. here is a quick video on the history of the jewish people. Judaism is as old as people believing in Zeus. Unfortunate that we don't have any Zeus worshippers anymore. It is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding this conflict. The border are already skewed so much in the favor of Israel. I am not sure if Palestinians will ever be fine that.
  15. what games did you play?
  16. Have you read "Refuse to Choose"? The perspective given in this book is quite unique. It states, that you should not do one of the things that motivates and interests you, but you should do ALL of the things that interest and motivate you. Leo for example also did psychology, politics, spirituality, dating (and explored game design and buisness for some time). Of course you should not be all over the place, thats why you need to be organized and focus on one or two things at a time. Maybe have a routine for 15 minutes each day, where do something else that interest you. I think the lesson of this book is: Don't waste your trying to choose that one thing you want to do, and instead figure out how you can do a lot of it ( even if you just for 15 minutes a day)
  17. there are also some immigration that is borderline stage red. I wish every migrant was solid stage blue, but if you look at countries such as Afghanistan, Subsaharan Africa that's not really the case.
  18. This short by Vsauce explains the world view of schrödinger. For a physicist I find it quite interesting! "How the world could have not have been a riddle?" What do you guys think?
  19. I am curious if anyone saw this video. I found it interesting how there are 3 different perspectives in this video, instead of the usual 2. Also I am not fully sure who I agree with. Of course not with joe rogan. I am not sure if Johnny Harris presents a genuine stage yellow perspective, in seeing some value in Joe rogan and not hating people you disagree with. Hasanabi is also convincing in his opinion that you should not be that lenient with individuals like joe rogan. Curious if anyone has sawn it (or wants to see it) and has an opinion.
  20. @Leo Gura Do you believe that left position on transsexuality, where it is basicly a fact that you can be "born in the wrong body" and that affarmative care is the best course of action, is actually true?
  21. My friends who are usually extremly deep on anti trans, anti leftist and anti vax stuff, actually like him. The only thing that bothers them was his apparently pro Israel stance. He seems to appeal to some young people who rejected conventional politics. One quality I like about him is that he makes a real effort, to not talk bad about his opponent.
  22. I thought I understood some things about AI, but this presentations was to much. The hyperscale accelerated AI factories... I have no idea what he is talking about.
  23. Just be honest about your struggles Leo. This invincible Guru Personality is unintersting. Much more interesting to simply get a peak into your life, your experiences, your struggles, your lessons, your regrets, your emotions, your adventours.
  24. I am questioning whether monogamy is the most natural form of romance for humans. What kind of relationship form is the most natural to humans (the most aligned with our primal roots)? - longterm monogamy (lifelong) - shorter monogamy (3-10 years) - sexual exclusivity only from female part. (Harem) - polyamory - open relationship - casual Dating It would be nice, if you give an explanation on why you think this is the most natural form of relationship for humans. -
  25. @Lila9 Nice, thorough answer. I would however be skeptical of claiming sex is not a big deal back then. And man not claiming females and getting jealous if they get fucked by someone else...Maybe if it were like orgies and multiple man would be fucking a woman at the same time. I do also believe rejecetion had to be a thing back then. A woman was surely not letting anyone fuck her. FROM A SYSTEMIC POINT OF VIEW sexual selection is an incredibly important evolutionary process. It is like evolution on steroids. Sexual attraction is not just fun and games. It was key for selecting highly effective genes.
