  1. +Kokuryu Arashi Judgement based on fact is not bigotry. It may be unfavorable to some people because of the reality of their actions and the basis for them, but it's what is real. We can't have good communication on what we wish was real. Not on what we wish were perceived as real. It's got to be honest. And to be honest REAL isn't very kind to some of us and very justifiably REAL on some examples will not be perceived well. It shouldn't be perceived well, in that case.

  2. Kokuryu Arashi I do agree, in principal, because I can't remember reading anything by Sam Harris. Also because I've seen people who really don't understand going off. I can't count how many times I've admonished ... don't hate the victems (Muslims) hate the victimizing ideology. At the same time, we would be idiots to ignore the real danger, that does exist.

  3. Kokuryu Arashi I'm sure some of that is being pushed by raw fear, it's a strong motivator and not always the most reasonable. In this case the phenomena (using the word somewhat jokingly) of a broken clock being correct twice a day seems to be in play. There is something real to fear. Much as there was from Nazi Germany, but people are so sure that normalcy will prevail. Usually they are right. That time Churchill's vision was right on. He saw it coming. Most people at the time, including the pervasive tone in media called Churchill a crazy warmongering idiot. Well, he wasn't. Hindsight tells us that those who thought they could appease the Nazi's were the idiots. Nazi's were nothing compared to the powerful ideology of this cult. politicalislam.com is a very well analysed source of real perspective on Islam and what to think of it now, as well as a much more correct history than is being taught in Universities, or most of them. I know I digressed, forgive me. I find getting information out about this extremely important right now. Things are going on that are being buried in Media. For what exact purpose I can't know.

  4. Kokuryu Arashi Yes, you're right. Muslims are good people, many of them. So were Nazi's, they got caught up. Dangerous ideology, regular people, but many of them have been turned into monsters and it would be almost like a cure for rabies to pull them back because of the extreme conditioning from such an early age. With Zealots caught up in a Paradigm that is supported by those around them, it's hard to change. Facts don't matter because the paradigm IS their facts. Facts conflicting bring on serious frustration and childish behavior, losing ones shit often. It's how people work. With Religious people, and with people who are caught in indoctrination, usually with the support of group think, on about any subject. Full disclosure, people on the left usually consider me right wing. Though hard line right wingers consider me left wing. I'm not much of a joiner. I'm for what's good for people. I don't have ulterior motives, even greed. I'll go with what's best for all the people and that can feed my greed sufficiently. I don't need to steal of have unfair advantage. What I have in my mind is enough competitive edge for me if I work, and I don't mind working for what I want. I don't really want much materially. What I'd gain from wealth is protection from assholes, but alliances with good people can accomplish that. I like being armed, so I can protect others, and myself. I'd like it if everyone were armed and responsible for their own safety and that of those around them. It would be much better than a police force, which can be corrupt. Especially if they're the only armed people. There ya go, lol.  OH, how do we deal with regressives? I think I addressed that above. Their mirror image is the fanatically religious. Same mental dynamic. I push them in argument. Put things in their face. It's very hard not to look stupid when pushing an unreasoned position. A little bit of humiliation is pretty useful as medicine, though usually you won't see it work. It takes time. I often argue with extremes of either "side"

  5. OUR OWN MINDS LIE TO US. Or more accurately cut corners for us. It's mechanism to help our senses organize what is too complex to organize into thought in raw form. We'd never be able to function without short cuts. Those people who don't seem so ARE sincere. You have to understand how the mind works. Paradigms are how people see the world. When facts conflict it's very frustrating and people get angry. You see this in the religious and you see it in Progressives and other examples. I see the same behavior in Progressives on many questions as the religious in many questions. Understanding this is a HUGE KEY to understanding people ... AND understanding yourself. I've been studying this in people for a long time. Seeking answers to the things about how people process information that just don't make sense. It does make sense when you really understand how people think. I mean people do lie, but in line with protecting paradigms, they feel it's for a good cause. How many times have I called Crowder out on that? He's so sick of my shit, but I want him to see what he's doing. He's a basically honest guy, but he lies and probably mostly to himself when his beliefs meet facts to the contrary. He feels he's fighting for the GOOD and so justified dishonesty and it pisses him off when you point that out. It does anyone, usually.

  7. +Kim Kaneki When you use a false control dependent on perception you can come to that conclusion. BUT when you use what is actually known fact, and study how the human mind processes you understand that it's not the personal perceived reality which is useful, it's the reality that does exist. I mean we float on a processing of information through shortcuts ... but that isn't valid reality. It's an illusion of reality that seems very real to us.

  8. Kim Kaneki I tend to agree. Seems I'd read something else and saw your post and thought it was that something else and went on ranting about that something else, lol. Apologies. I tend to read a lot and have a lot of things bouncing around at once. Something guys aren't as well equipped for as women ... just to be sorta controversial about it. See I was reading something tha ... oops, doing it again.

  10. Follow the money, donations to high profile Universities. Billions from Europe. Why? To get results. What results ... THE RESULTS we see, probably. Media is with them. Entertainment is with them, right into the insanity ... why? Take a wild guess. I know, crazy right? It is crazy, but it is for real and pointing out something real that's so outside what we expect isn't the crazy.
