  1. Joe needs his foolish ideas shot down and shamed haha. Hes not a child, he can take it. Intellectual guests show a great deal of tolerance after Joe expresses Duncan Trussell-like flight of fancy. Mind you, I love Duncan, just sayin. My stupid shit needs to be trampled on too, along with yours and all other neurotypical adults. This way, we dont end up down a rabbit hole of nonsense, like Edgy Brah, who is also one of my favorite people, but is virtually brain dead.

  2.  @nislive  You'd care if it happened. This is the response of a person who speaks before they think. Clearly, you've been born into a world without war. A good ol war would put your freedom in perspective. We shouldn't be micro investigating one another. It's wrong on a multitude of levels.

  3. He was a dipshit through most of this episode.

  4.  @-KillaWatt-  Dude, we have absolutely no idea how the brain works. My undergrad was heavily steeped in neurology. The reason our sensory perceptions were tracked initially by tracing the location of a brain injury. Phineas Gage being the first famous longitudinal case study. Now brain scans can identify high functioning areas. Other than that, we understand how action potentials move through neurons by traveling through dendrites, through the axon terminal, which is covered by a myelin sheath as the neuron ages, which determines how fast the action potential moves through the axon, then we get to neurotransmitters passing through the synaptic cleft and binding to receptors, or engaging in reuptake or passing through a the barrier of the other neuron. We know other neurophysiologic happenings, but nothing new has been unveiled in decades. We have NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. Micrology, cytology, etc are stuck and have been for a long time. I would be so confident that were going to start reaching these new plateaus of understanding anytime soon. The lymphatic system is essentially all physiology and zero anatomy because it's all micro workings, but we at least understand how it's working, sorta. The brain is entirely different, because it is our link to conciousness. My theory is that we'll never understand conciousness, so by default, we'll never understand the brain in the manner that is most crutial and revealing. The human mind is the biggest mystery in the universe... from our perspective.

  5.  @nislive  Well, at least you have other experiences elsewhere, but I dont agree. Say for instance that a bunch of people hate a race, due to circumstantial reasons. They dont connect cause and correlation, just the fact that they dont like a race. Dude, with all due respect, your view sounds insane. Social convention prevents people from fighting with another person, because their views arent written on their forehead. You tell me, I cant fucking stand hardened femanist. It's my experience of spender over a decade with them in academia. I still treat them with respect and conduct myself properly when talking and working with them. What good would it do for them to know that I despise the very ideology that drives their every move? And what good would it be for me to know her views of me? IT WOULD EXACERBATE HATRED AND IF YOU DONT SEE THAT THIS IS AN INEVITABLE OUTCOME, then I'm not sure what to say. Folks have this utopian ideal of society that's simply ridiculous. We have to realize that theres always a dickhead in the room. It those people become ostracized by society, they will rally and bind together to form a more volatile movement that never would have existed in th he first place. I enjoy my freedom. I've seem many other nations too and as fucked up as America is in some ways, I still love the freedom. Reading someone's mind will sentence their death.

  6.  @Spookyhoobster  I get it. But I think an expiration date is required. Sure, systems shape our personality, along w inherited biological traits. But this means that some folks, by default, are fools. We have to shut down the fools with a gish gallop of sensibility

  7.  @TheOnni1  I agree w the respect part. But we need to be constantly challenged or we will not experience growth. For instance, Malcom ideas do not always land well for me. But his demeanor is non threatening and he's respectful, so shitting on him too harshly is not a practice someone wants to engage in. But I still disagree with not deconstructing someone's ideologies and trampling them, if need be. It can be done w respect though, that I believe.

  8. Joe's been mentioning mind-reading for yrs now. Theres a massive insecurity driving this idea. Joes been lied to and doesnt like it haha!

  9.  @glen.simpson  fair enough. I guess that is a bit pretentious

  10. Full blow dipshit. But yes, he has his moments of reasonable logic. Put it this way, anytime he discusses behavioral health or neurophysiology he'll take it to tardsville every time.
