  1. Peer review is a critical element of science. You have to convince your peers of your ideas or follow the group. And you cannot really denounce the agreed science either. Any new theory must be able to explain the previous accepted science but in a different way. You show that the previous theory is valid within bounded circumstances and your new theory expands those circumstances. The new theory is essential to explain the circumstances that lie outside those explained by the previous theory.

  2. Labour don't need to oppose the Conservatives any more because the Conservatives have adopted their sentiment and policies.

  3.  @dbmail545  They are only different to the left because they all stem from the left. They are they only people close enough with an interest in differentiating.

  8. IMO Bitcoin is attempting to be a virtual gold standard. But I think in doing that we are reinventing the wheel. Things like fractional reserve and interest did not come about because of fiat currency. They came about because physical backed money is finite so the supply cannot always meet demand and something has to be done to prevent price deflation and then an unwillingness to spend money then and stagnant economy. So fractional reserve can be used to multiply the finite currency. You can see this happening already in crypto-currencies. Some currencies are now operating fractional reserve systems. So we are just reinventing the wheel. Another solution is just to invent another currency and run them in parallel. Similar to striking a new coin. While you can just keep inventing new currencies you do not really have tight control of supply. Another issue is that crypto-currencies do not really decentalise money. The mechanics of the currency are dictated by the algorithm and the algorithm is design by people, a few of them and in the case of bitcoin the creator is anonymous. What are their motives? We do need a different system of money but I'm not convinced now that what is on offer is the answer. The problem is really about how to make sure supply of currency is equal to demand. Not more because that leads to inflation, not less because that leads to deflation. Both should be avoided. So the supply has to be equal to demand. The question is how to measure demand and then how to meet it.

  9. But controlled opposition and thinly veiled desensitisation has run it's course. There is no need for it anymore except as a passing shot to reveal the victors tactic.

  10. The word discrimination does not require an adjective. Alternatively maybe we should call it positive racism and see how that goes down.

  11. If renewables are cheaper than coal, then we don't need to subsidise them.

  12. Meritocracy is not simply about a means to divide up the profits. It's about who gets to make the decisions. That responsibility goes to the most capable. And being the person responsible for other peoples wellbeing is not necessarily anything that a person should crave.

  13. I'm not so convinced of the brain drain of tech companies because of high taxes that go nowhere. The IT is industry is drinking tax payer money by the gallon. All the money for Covid apps went to IT, there are projects started to monitor attendence at schools, CCTV infrastructure going up everywhere. Government IT spending is big and all the IT companies are into big data gathering and processing, they are completely on board with the great reset. So the tax they pay is comming straight back to them.

  16. Just an idea I have been cultivating. The films we see from Hollywood present dysfunctional versions of the future. The producers of these films see our appreciation of them as acceptance of that future. Once we have confirmed our acceptance those with the ability to bring that future about do so. Fight Club. A film about men's disappointment with their lives. Features a women who pretends to be a man who has had testicular cancer and a man who has grown breasts as a result of testicular cancer. Men becoming women, women becoming men. This is the present day.

  20. Tides can be predicted 100 years in advance. Tidal lagoons are both reliable and green. Greener than wind turbines. No concrete bases and no chopping up of birds. No waste blades, just some turbines that need servicing. Essentially just like a dam but feed by the tide rather than a river. And they provide a haven for fish to breed.

  21. The thing that America did recently to cause all the dislike for itself and the western world was 9/11. It really appears to be the biggest fraud in recent history. The BBC were reporting that building 7 had collapsed while it could be seen in the background behind the reporter. And that took place under a republican government. What followed was then easily seen by all as an illegitimate war. And to the slavery and racism in America, it's easy to argue that the democrats are the guilty party there. Abraham Lincoln the republican freed the slaves, the southern slave owners all voted democrat. The democrat president that followed Lincolns assassination was a former slave owner. The Jim Crow laws were democrat legislation. But the republicans soiled themselves with 9/11. Now there is anger and a degree of culpability for both parties. If there is an entity behind this they have been very successful.

  22.  @Kimberly-rw1mj  Can you prove there is unconscious anti-black bias? Besides positive discrimination stokes tension.

  23. Given that we are such bad and hated people why would anyone want us to care about them anyway? Would you want Harrold Shipman to care for granny? Seems odd that westerners are so despised yet everyone wants us to help them.

  24. I don't know why people have this thing against David Icke. He has been talking about this for decades. He just came to it through a different means and if he had foreseen this decades ago while everyone else is surprised then he has a superior source.

  25. When talking about the solution I remember another game theorist, John Nash. What I understand of his work is that if everyone attempts to maximise their own position at the expense of others then each party has the ability to block another and nobody succeeds. You have to do what benefits both yourself AND the group.

  27. Is one reason for sex education of children at increasingly young ages to remove a pillar from the argument that children cannot consent? Once they are educated, it can no longer be argued that they cannot consent because they do not understand.

  29. Referring people as trans-X is not so bad, it's like saying my watch is a Bolex. It's not a Rolex its a fake Rolex. trans = fake.

  30. Rioters burn down peoples neighbourhoods in America while people are locked up under house arrest so they never see it happen. All they see is what they are fed from the TV which is under control of the same Marxists who tell people it's mostly peaceful. It's a perfect tactic to divide people and prevent them standing up to what it going on. They con people (a set that is must be getting smaller ever day) into thinking nothing is wrong and even if they see through the lies they are still locked up in their homes waiting to be burned down. And to top it the Marxists have removed the Police who would stand in their way. Now people are leaving cities on mass so the Marxists can buy up all the properties that are devalued. I wonder if society can become too civilised. So civilised it cringes at what must be done to defend itself.

  31. It's about time we stopped seeing everything in terms of politics. It has a place but it's a high level way of seeing the world.

  32.  @honiideslysses12  The narrative that genocide is beneficial is here already. Climate change! The population is too high. And the people who believe this narrative are so naive they think they will be in the 500,000 chosen to live.

  34. The comparison with the Roman Empire is simply to illustrate that even the biggest civilisations can fall. It does not have to be for the same reason.

  35. The first 15 minutes of this was really a complaint against sending people to university to do useless degrees. Then there was the idea that intelligence is not necessarily passed on to offspring but social status is. That is definitely a problem but not with meritocracy because that is the antithesis of meritocracy. Then we have the argument that people are being shifted from manual jobs that are required to base cognitive jobs but again this is not a problem with meritocracy it's a problem with the perception of what is required and a problem with peoples attitudes to manual work. Meritocracy is that the people who are capable rise to lead those who are not as capable. It's not about the job you do or the money you earn.

  36. This argument about the female brain in the male body. If it's true that a persons sex can be determined 80% accurately by looking only at their brain then it follows that if you were to look at the brain of a deceased trans person without knowing their gender then the brain would indicate the trans gender and not the birth gender. Given the suicide rate is quite high and autopsies are performed, it should be easy to confirm this theory.

  37. Thing is though you can tell the sex of a person from any cell of their body. XX chromosome = women, XY = man and the brain is no different.

  38. My guess is the What’s App replies to comments are spooks. Once they have your phone number they can use zero click attacks on your phone. I have good reason to think they can eavesdrop on you through your phone.
