From an absolute perspective, everything is an illusion, but from a relative perspective, politics is still important for survival.

I see you were inspired by Michael Brooks' extensive knowledge of policy. The dude was a walking library. He really opened my eyes on how little I know about the world of politics, especially internationally. This thread is a good contribution to his mission.

Makes sense haha

It looked like somebody had copypasted your video about libertarianism

Some youtube comment:

Fair enough. I see now that I tend to do a bit too rough analysis of countries I'm not familiar with . Is this way of organizing society found in other countries than the KSA in the middle east?

Can you explain why it's very purple? What qualities excludes it from blue?

Apparently The Amazing Atheist's ass has experienced an alien invasion

I did

That was really well-made. 10/10 Man that really hit me . Yeah I agree, Abby Martin is a snack.

@Nak Khid Don't derail the thread lol. Wait for the video, you obviously need it

Pics or didn't happen.

Why do people misunderstand Absolute Love?

I would look at the adherence to Islam as a consequence of the level of development, not the other way around. Of course having a well-established religion creates a "temporal lag" in their development, but that is inevitable.

If we're talking on a national level, Saudi Arabia is more red-blue. Purple-red would be something like ISIS. If there are no state laws present, no modern infrastructure or no allied states, then we're talking about purple-red tribal conquest. Saudia Arabia has modern infrastructure, state laws and allies. If we're talking on a demographical level, then sure - maybe some purple aswell.

Musical innovator and virtuoso who has broken out of the classical stylistic boundaries of that genre. He also goes against the typical macho rockstar persona by embracing feminity and emotionality:

It's OK if you don't see the overlap between parts of the Actualized.org community and the gaming community, but you don't have to be a dick about it. His death brought a surge of mental health awareness in that community, and you can appreciate that as an outsider if you care about global issues. Online communities are infact global communities, and initiatives like Dr. K's stream is much more impactful than say Leo's youtube channel in terms of outreach. Have some perspective.

He was the first big streamer on Twitch, legendary World Of Warcraft player and loved by the community. It's like asking: "People die every second. Why do we have to care about the death of Michael Brooks?". He was also one of the first guests on Dr. K's stream, which introduced his mission of spreading mental health awareness to the community.

That just means you haven't integrated those aspects of yourself properly,

I want to get a better picture of what is really going on: How would you define the IDW (and the left) in terms of values? What beefs or main points of disagreement do you feel are most important? What does either side have to learn from each other? What are they both missing? The IDW would be people like Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Bret Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin etc.. The left is vast, but to mention some people: Sam Seder, Michael Brooks (RIP), David Pakman, Kyle Kulinski, Vaush etc.. I'm also interested in especially Sam Harris' beef with Noam Chomsky (disagreements about foreign policy). What is really going on there? Is it a good example of this phenomena? Please sprinkle some SD into the analysis aswell

These are my observations: Sam Harris' built his whole career on his reaction to 9/11, and his beef with Islam and leftist foreign policy stems from there. That made him very attached to the idea of the importance of beliefs and how they inform people's actions. The left is more concerned about how historical events determine the expression of those beliefs. If Sam Harris used his own beliefs to analyse himself, he is opposed to Islam and the left because of his beliefs. If he were to use the left's analysis, he felt that 9/11 threatened his existence and responded by criticizing the beliefs of Islam and the left, and that made him express those particular beliefs. More generally, Sam has adopted a more eurocentric lens as a survival response, which makes him at odds with worldcentric green. This ties into the "we need to protect western enlightenment values" sentiment that is so prevalent on the IDW.

He doesn't practice what he preaches.
