If people keep posting about stereotypes and other ethnocentric garbage, this will be locked.

If it's possible to imagine The Statue of Liberty being toppled by a true to life dictator, it's possible to imagine them being assassinated by a leftist incel as well

Become one and transcend it.

Leftist incels.

I would think that a true dictator of a 1st world country would get assassinated pretty quickly.

Tier 2 musician (not metal ):

Isn't that simply reality existing as itself?

Does reality have to interpret itself in order to exist?

How exactly does it work?

@OBEler Lol

The fields you're talking about are just ways to conceptualize force interactions (e.g. the electromagnetic field and the gravitational field). Forget about those. Also, you make it seem like atoms consisting of subatomic particles means they cannot be 99.999% space. Nobody says that. An atom is a nucleus orbited by electrons. Considering the radius of the electron cloud and the radius of the nucleus and how the electron cloud is mostly empty space, you probably get more than 99.999% empty space. However, Quantum Mechanics tells you that empty space can spontaneously produce particles at any moment, so the dichotomy between matter and empty space is only a probabilistic one.

Did they also see saw dust particles and vapor droplets? You would see those long before singular molecules.

There probably exists an optimal fap rate with respect to health which most people haven't discovered yet (it depends on the individual). If you fap too often, you'll feel a decrease mental clarity and energy levels. If you fap too infrequently, you might experience sleeping problems, restlessness, muscle stiffness, emotional dysregulation. If you align yourself with health across all domains of your life and learn to listen to your body, you'll be more likely to discover it.

Which is better: pepperoni or pizza?

SD has both linear and cyclical qualities, hence it's a spiral model. It's simply the case that the stages follow each other linearly based on the initial set of empirical data gathered by Clare Graves, which is representable visually as upward movement along a vertical axis (because we associate growth with that type of movement; height of plants, trees and humans). To associate it with a normative type of progress is a post-hoc ideological projection that is not inherent in the model itself ("our culture"). The development may be slow, stagnant or aborted depending on external conditions (just like if an embryo stops getting nutrients). With regards to Western assumptions, there is a point to be made about the data having a WEIRD bias (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, Democratic), as he only sampled American college students, but that applies for basically 90% of psychology (in the West that is).

Development and progress are not necessarily synonyms. One is more descriptive, the other more normative. SD is analogous to models of prenatal development: it's the inevitable path of growth given the correct conditions. However, you would never say that a 2 week old embryo is "better" than a 3 month old fetus.

Toxic unconstructive thread.

Very toxic thread.

They probably think the same thing. Besides, we're just having discussions here. We're not policy makers. The only policies here are the guidelines

If you don't feel like there is at least a little anti-vaxxer inside of you when you're having these discussions, I don't think you're being empathetic with other points of view.

@Danioover9000 I generally dislike definitions. Definitions often don't capture the complexity of the categories they try to describe, certainly not when it comes to human behavior. People also don't fall neatly into categories. There is an anti-vaxxer inside all of us.

In other words, not very much more likely: 15/(10^6) = 0.0015% for vaccine vs. 10/(10^6) = 0.0010% for infection. That's also just for myocarditis. Notice the differences for pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia (0% for vaccine vs. 0.0006% for infection, and ~ 0.0010% vs. ~ 0.25%). The statistic I gave for all age groups is also still valid.

When I was little, I wanted to make videos. I never pursued it seriously. When I was a little older, I wanted to make music. I never pursued it seriously. I think both of those things are more in line with my strengths than what I'm currently pursuing (I'm more artistic than intellectual), and maybe my life would've been more fulfilled in that sense, but I also think that I wouldn't have discovered spirituality at the crucial time that I did, which considering my mental state prior to that, right now I would most likely still be addicted to drugs and have contracted a psychotic illness, and just generally exist in deep existential despair. I used to regret these things more before, fearing that I've wasted my talents, but I like to think that this timeline has much more in store for me.

Let's keep this to politics.
