  1. I finished high school in the late 80's and you could see the deliberate distraction away from critical thinking (and into feelings) even then. By the time I'd been working for ten years (around 9/11) you could REALLY see the effect in young/new employees, who had a strange excess of faux (and narc like) over-confidence but nothing to back it up. My best friend's kid asked his dad and I not to be 'racist' around his visiting friends recently, which was sad as we've never said anything remotely racist/bigoted around him but have regularly spoken critically about our mutual love of films/music. The kids have unfortunately been 'taught' that anything critical based is a negative, mean and therefore racist while encouraged to virtue signal instead to over-compensate and conform....like creepy cultists.

  2. The Socratic method has actively been discouraged for a while now, lots of my friends kids have never learnt to write an argumentative essay and have been graded negatively by their ideologically devolved teachers if they ever write non-compliantly. We had extra (and forced) ideological heavy classes when I was at uni in the early 90's, where we just sadly learnt to write what the ideologue-teachers wanted in order to just complete the nonsense classes.

  3. "Speaking" with porn-stars ultimately just ends up feeling like you've been invited to their therapy session.....where there's ironically NO therapist.....just them trying to self-justify themselves to themselves and now you too, while dragging you along on the next phase of their shamelessly self-serving (or self-conveniently clueless) narcissism.

  4. Charities like unions start out well intentioned....but then unfortunately become part of the problem when the good-intentions become 'sustainably' self-serving like a business of its own (or a parasite) rather than trying to actually SOLVE a problem and then making themselves unnecessary/redundant.

  5. Matt ironically couldn't have umm 'gone too far' without Dylan first going too far!

  6. Authentic-self = shamelessly self-serving self.

  7. Socialism/Leftism has become more akin to just telling yourself something pretty despite reality.

  8. Melbourne had become a place of man-buns, coffee and avocado a while back and it's only gotten worse since folks further (un)developed their strange obsession into conformity, control, obesity and green hair.

  9. For a guy writing about conspiracy......he's not very good when it comes to manipulation.

  10. "Is it time to abandon democracy?".....this'll be a doozy.....how about we just have proper representative democracy instead (as we're supposed to) where the best and wisest (rather than most easily or ideologically bought) represent us?

  11. DeSantis should make Trump his Whitehouse press secretary if he wins.....Trump could then answer every question from the press with '"You're Fired" which would be funnier and also a far more up-front/honest type of condescension than the 'efforts' of the past few creepy Stepford Wife press secretaries.

  12. Another really good ep lads, Coleman is both a voice of common sense and really likeable bloke in his own right!

  13. The kid-daycare Business/Industrial Complex has unfortunately been made an almost (deliberate) essential for so many families nowadays. I used to hate picking up my nephews from their daycare facilities when the places always felt like deliberately cold, cynical (and then creepy) bureaucratic, bare-minimum businesses, almost like they were MADE to turn the kids into institutionalised cogs early (like school often does later.....or like state run communism supposed 'care' does deliberately). I went to kindergarten when I was a kid and it was just an early preparation for school a year before, mostly run by nice/genuine volunteer mums to simply socialise and prepare kids rather than institutionalise them into easily dehumanised and self-fulfilling cog-in-the-machine cynicism .....and then an acceptance/normalisation of it.

  14. South Park covered the irony well with "Let's gang up on bullying and make it kill itself"

  15. 'Progress' now unfortunately = regress (to divide, devolve and ultimately conquer). You make good/valid points but the deliberate lessening has now reached peak-shamelessness where "worker rights, financial security, and autonomy" are now clearly being DELIBERATELY negated, which over-'encouraged' and 'normalised' moral/reality-relativism sadly helps along.

  16. John came around when he considered the narrative and situation more, which shows he has far more humility, character and critical-thinking capacity than the rest of the creepy a-holes still so intent on continually self-serving their own egos and lack of any responsibility/accountability for their far too easily-led, non-thinking (and/or lack of any humility).

  17. Her constant eye twitching was unfortunately a little distractive from her well considered observations.

  18. 'Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence'.....what about planned and deliberate incompetence? This sounds like a 'Correlation does not imply causation' logic-shutdown ......which is also potentially flawed when you then simply need to explore MORE in order to determine EITHER way.

  19. She's a little bit of a narcissistic and umm 'empowered' self-justifier.......why is she now so-angling to appear on the talky stuff like The Trig and The Gad (but not sad) shows?

  20. This was great and covered so much with a lot of genuine consideration.......and will therefore likely confuse or anger both sides of the unfortunately devolving and simpleton-based, binary-seeking, ideo-divide and spectrum (of mental!) while they both so over-hope to power leverage but perhaps fail to value the complimentary nature and usefulness of one another while so led by self-serving emotion and ideology rather than by critical (of the self too) thinking.

  21. Darn Good work Konstantin...... and spot on with the de-humanisation which ideo-think above critical-think always generally leads to!

  22. You're all a bit pathetic fighting against one another while sadly distracted and easily-led astray by over-prioritised politeness (or non-politeness)....while also being deliberately and easily divided..... and unfortunately cognitively-retarding yourselves in the process of/by chasing those all important hits/likes (and that easily-led hope for virtuous/righteous approval from others)

  23.  @tovsteh  Those are all good points and equally big contributions to the sad decline and deliberate devolution into less (of more easily-led/manipulated control) overall. I trained and worked in manipulation my whole adult life (after going to the Josesph Gobble alot university to learn how to win 'friends' and influence others....to sell them stuff they probably don't need) where it was very clear early on that the easiest way to manipulate folks was through their ideological belief (or lack of belief) systems while just over-telling them something pretty (and self-serving) despite reality, where the simple questioning nature of critical-thinking clearly becomes THE greatest threat (and then enemy) to anything ideologically devolved. .....but the manipulation of the easily-led (and help from the useful-idiot grifters) has now gone so far into the Twilight Zone that I'm not sure my services are even required anymore in our increasingly creepy and (NOT) Very Brave New World Disorder. I wish folks would read, learn and understand from the history which I learnt from as a part of my 'training' at uni, because none of it is remotely new and it has all sadly happened before multiple times, where there are now just more tools to further manipulate via what we already knew a long time ago regarding people in general and the human condition.

  24. Roger's owner lost me a while back while so CPC rogering himself in order to chase that youtube attention

  25. They haven't considered that Ghislaine Maxwell has probably already used her 'black book' leverage and co-operation to get where she currently is.....where someone else can also now power-leverage over the black-booked folks. Piazza Gate is a lame example when it was clearly a huge (and Qnon) like distraction for the easily-led.

  26. I teach at Uni and they've sadly just become big-business sheltered-workshops for entitled folks who think they can simply buy their further entitlement.....run by shameless profiteers (despite real world needs). Limit the numbers and return to merit based entry and you might start to see a positive change.

  27.  @occultrock  If you think morality has always been subjective (on a societal level) then try living next to someone who DOESN'T believe that murder, theft and coveting your wife is wrong.....especially if your society becomes self-devolved enough by relativity to tell you that you now HAVE TO accept the differences in personal-morality (or immorality/amorality) now that well-intentioned supposed 'tolerance' has been over-prioritised.

  28. Another great segment lads, good one!

  29. They look at numbers and ignore intent

  30. Education is the key......but most folks unfortunately (and apathetically) can't be bothered, don't want to see it.....or are perfectly OK with the experiment happening again (until they ironically see and experience the results of it for themselves).

  31. She probably COULD join Grinder though....she just wouldn't have much luck or umm 'fun'.

  33. ​ @99guspuppet8  So aren't those love hearts sincere? I can only 'model' like the folks in Zoolander unfortunately.

  34. Platforms supporting ALL free speech wouldn't be such a scary issue if the creepy and over-controlling mental-ity hadn't become so popular...... and if folks hadn't have had their critical thinking abilities deliberately reduced.

  35.  @DukeBluedevil70  I don't generally show up in person to accept my passive aggressive awards. Maybe just send it as a meaningless emoji?
    2
  36.  @CursedWheelieBin  You have to start to actually value (and want) them first and better accept the idea of differing and more wider considered opinions rather than those self-serving (and apathetic) binaries of less-think..... but that's a little difficult while we're increasingly being 'incentivised' to follow and embrace devolving ideologically-based less-think (and 'influencers') .....to unfortunately end up in a self fulfilling idiocracy. You could also simply value morality (and accountability) and normalise some basic standards to aspire to...... then you won't have to 'incentivise' nearly as much.

  37. Self identified victimhood (AS a sad life meaning) just creates a deliberate endless loop......as the bigger manipulators and hopeful distractors always sadly intended of their easily-led useful idiots.
    2
  38. Lessened learned are lessons also quickly forgotten unfortunately, especially when deliberately distracted away from NOT learning from the past.

  39. I loved Martin's book but for a wise man he also seems a little retired-asleep here too in relation to current events.

  40. FFS.......We're this far into the nonsense and they're STILL talking about 'conspiracy theories'......it REALLY shouldn't be that hard to now (or earlier) further consider everything so completely dodgy and self-serving (to some) despite the inconvenient truth (and your own easily hurt and now over-compensating ego) ......Well meaning politeness prioritisation (despite everything happening around us) will be our own and complete undoing.
    2
  41. I thought this was a little odd when watching the full interview.....and almost self-servingly, self-fulfilling while seeming to WANT to identify as something. There are so many complexities in/to what makes an individual person that we'll probably never know the full extent, especially when choosing to focus on (and pick) the self-serving parts.
    2
  42. For supposed 'women' they ironically have a LOT of that now evil 'toxic masculinity' while so shamelessly hoping to leverage power. They also clearly love to passive-aggressively grift off all that suicidal empathy (now so successfully and deliberately regressing folks) while sadly representing the worst parts of both genders.
    2
  43. It's NOT a left/right argument despite the success of the distraction.....we're heading towards an authoritarian Corporatocracy ironically sold to the easily-led via a 'socialist' sold cult of supposed 'good intentions' deliberately NOT further considered.
    2
  44. Bill like many others unfortunately lives in a bubble while the rest implodes around their clueless and self-serving denialism.
    2
  45. It's all just a globalist and corpro-monopoly led return to nasty feudalism, ironically via marxist subversion techniques (The Cult of Supposed 'Good Intentions' deliberately NOT further considered)....with the authoritarian boot of an unelected lord (and global government) on your face from the other side of the world .......with some local useful-idiots to help cluelessly (or self-servingly) enforce it.
    2
  46. Manipulation psychology (and self-justified self-manipulation) of the self-serving ego at the expense of the conscience has been a manipulation (and then self-manipulation) tool since the beginning of time AND as a simple result/by-product of our aspirational (but also potentially dubious) critical-thinking minds. This has been known for a LONG time .....and has now sadly become a self-fulfilling cliche in the era of mass manipulation (with even more tools to 'achieve' it), where the manipulated then manipulate themselves, just as their shameless manipulator-hopefuls (and often selves) always unfortunately intended.
    2
  47. Communism in idea form is just an idea ......and neither right/wrong.......BUT as an IDEOLOGY it quickly just becomes a manipulative cult grifting on easily-led (and victimhood-identifying) folks via supposed 'Good Intentions' (deliberately) NOT further considered, especially when so led by emotion while just 'telling them something pretty' even when completely dehumanised where individuality is destroyed for control ......by the same, nasty and self-serving cult.
    2
  48. You'd almost have to be asleep at this stage to NOT have seen progressive values completely subverted by nasty, self-serving, and power-hungry cultists over the past 20 years while grifting and manipulating via The Cult of Supposed 'Good Intentions' deliberately NOT further considered.
    2
  49. Michael is still half asleep like the Trig guys often are too (especially when he talks of Bari Weiss like a credible agitator)......This probably needs some time, just for them to re-consider later as the madness unfortunately carries on with a half-vacant and glazed-eyed smile.
    2
  50. These folks have zero shame or sense of self-awareness as they so chase their own narcissistic (and conformity-seeking) supposed 'virtue' while thinking that they're progressive but ironically REALLY regressive ......and ultimately dehumanised like the German's back in the day with their cult (and sterilisation and euthanasia)......just let the gay kids be gay.
