  1. Just like you.

  2. I oppose global governance, I oppose lack of sovereignty on all levels. Consent of the governed is paramount.

  3. Lucky social justice warriors have a strong history of opposing human rights such as the right to free speech and free expression of ideas. Because of this they are bad people.

  4. corporate bigwigs want to create a mad max scenario for your children's future. they wrote the laws that they are following. they don't think you will do anything about it.

  5. I think what they were trying to go with was a socially acceptable way to say men can go get f'd and will be destroyed in the future. This title had to do. Although in fairness a lot of the big talking heads in feminism have gotten old and detached and maybe a little senile. She still thinks its the 1950's, I have even seen crazy feminists saying that it is worse now than it was then. I do like the radical idea that all genders are equal. I am very much pro egalitarianism.

  6. I hear a lot about moms who need help but nothing about dads. Women have more rights then men do in the US. Women have more programs to help them then men do in the US. We need to fight the matriarchy.

  7. I think there are a lot of people who are under-banked and under-heroined. We can take more from them!

  8. We are losing biodiversity in the human population as well. Modern technology has allowed mass mixing of the populations, we are all becoming the same type of mutt. But all the same breed, and that removes the diversity of different types of humans. If something comes along that wipes out the universal mutt breed, no other breeds exist to survive such an event. I don't mean to make any of this racist. In fact the opposite, I want to preserve all of the "races" all of the cultures, and all of the histories that some people are trying to erase. All of them, with no exception.

  9.  @OrganicMint87  he was talking about "shared reality" and that is a fundamental divide between groups. Most people don't realize that many of their differences with others rest on this problem, they are focused on something from different perspectives. Take pro-life and pro-choice as an example. Pro-life advocates focus on an unborn baby while pro-choice advocates focus on a woman's agency and autonomy. They don't see the problem through a shared lens, and that is the fundamental problem that prevents agreement.

  10. When more people have degree X, the value of degree X goes down. When more people are able to do a job, the wage value for that job goes down. Focusing on education rather than automation does not address the root of the problem.

  11.  @petitio_principii  when running across NLP I have seen 2 drastically different meanings. One is about hypnotism and I imagine that is what this Wikipedia article is talking about. The other is about how language and imagery are imprinted on the mind, and this is what is used in marketing. I think Daren Brown made a video in which he got people to make an advertisement for him, except that he predicted the drawing they would make, and he manipulated it all through that latter form of NLP.

  12.  @franticranter  No, that is a veiled threat that if you don't vote the right way, then your freedom to vote will be removed.

  13. Words only change meaning when people are allowed to speak them in many situations to many people. If you want a word to retain its meaning, censor it.

  14. Wait, shouldn't there be a P for propaganda in there somewhere?

  15. i hope that CRISPR can be used to help fight the obesity epidemic.

  16. I do think that a lot of racists have written a lot of history. I think a lot of people from Europe buy into historical conspiracies because they're own history was erased by Christians.

  17. Some divorce lawyers make tacit advise to make false criminal charges against the other person. What is legal and what is just are different things.

  18. How to preserve freedom and also have wealth without capitalism?

  19. It's fine to talk about just like pooping and masterbation. It's simply a bodily function that involves your genitals. It's not oppression, the same standard is held to men talking about fapping or jock itch.

  20. Maybe in your country. It all depends on how much your country is a slave to the international banks who oppose cryptocurrency.

  21. God created all people, Smith and Wesson made them equal.

  22. As a strange overly rational person, I prefer that you explain things with logic over stories.

  24. Who can survive on their own resources, I really couldn't agree with you more here. Global interdependence has become a scourge on the freedom and happiness of people.

  25. Empower them with vasectomies.

  26. It doesn't surprise me at all. There is a bunch of propaganda and social programs to try and hold back the age at which women start having children. Just having a kid at the age of 23 does so much to prevent pregnancy related complications. If you want a safe pregnancy with a safe delivery, consider going under the age of 23 all the way down to about 16 before you consider having the baby later than the age of 23. By delaying pregnancy past the age of 23, you INCREASE the chance for pregnancy complications and health problems. Our propaganda and social programs that delay having children is the most preventable cause of these complications.

  27.  @erikkeever3504  yup, but it tipped over 1.5 degrees last summer. Many people made a bunch of false claims over that particular line.

  29. "Truly sustainable housing should be affordable to everyone, and available to all". I agree with her here, but not in a way she would agree with. You see, our ancestors were nomads. Homelessness is affordable to all and is truly sustainable and is also the state of housing for humans for the majority of human history. I have solved the housing problem! It isn't a problem. Now lets just end all the pesky laws against homeless people, and problem solved once and for all.

  30.  @SWRaptor1  I don't disagree with you. But the statement I commented on was about education not diplomas. Education on its own is valuable. Some of the most successful people don't have degrees. Be exceptional.

  31. You are right, but you are also wrong. Money isn't a car, its a piece of paper, or some 1s and 0s on a computer. There are finite actual resources. Look at the price of anything, but more importantly look at the price of raw materials. Its going up, because there are more people and fewer untapped resources. We have taken the easy oil, the easy iron, the easy coal, the easy everything. Underground aquafers are drying up, water is getting more expensive. So sure, the top 1% have a whole bunch of money, but if that money was distributed, it wouldn't get you more things, it would just raise the price of everything because demand would go up, but supply is fucked.

  32. I hate people like her who have been busy ruining the things I used to like. Its involuntary manipulation. I am less empathetic and kind as a reaction to interference like this. Want people to have empathy? Be empathetic towards them, not manipulative....

  33. I have seen plenty of feminist ideas over the last decade, can we get a male extremist and racist perspective? I feel like you aren't being very inclusive.

  34. "We can't change the world if "we" don't change ourselves." - this doesn't feel just a little dishonest and evil to me. Social contract is a description of human behavior. Denial of it will result in failure.

  35. Think if a guy said the same thing the commenters would be more kind?

  36.  @franticranter  Trump may be on the right, may even have been chosen by them. But he is not the right in general. Its the left whom censors the right from speaking at Universities, not the right censoring the left. It is the left who dresses in black masks and riots and performs crimes and encourages violence against decent, not the right. It is the leftist media that attempts to deplatform independent journalists, not the right. The right is mostly libertarian now, although it still does have many conservatives and even a small and vocal group of radical racists. The racism on the left isn't called racism, and is promoted by the mass media. SJW's don't believe in egalitarianism, they believe in forcing racial and gender stereotypes and speaking over individuals. That is an anathema to libertarians. See who is pushing for more laws, and more limitations and more control. Those are authoritarian things.

  37. its the first broad reaching of its type. another will come along that will be more secure, the bitcoin 2.0 of sorts and when it does and it gets broad reach it will become unstoppable. as for now there are many governments and banks that are threatened by bitcoin so i wouldn't be surprised at all if one of these were behind the larger bitcoin hacks.

  38. I don't think a flock of birds flying together is a good example of autonomy, in fact it is quite the opposite. They don't have autonomy, they must work together to stay in the flock. Autonomy would look like birds flying in different directions, not in a flock, far from each other and not in each other's way. With autonomy there is higher risk to predators, but there is more freedom of movement. I am not willing to sell my autonomy for security. I prefer to live free with the risk that another free person may use their autonomy to attempt to kill me. Its a risk I am willing to take, because without autonomy, life isn't worth living in the first place, and I would be better off dead.

  39. 1:21 "Sight, is the most..." No, that is a misconception. Your sense of smell is the most primal sense, and is the most personal and powerful. Go ahead and name the smells that move you. Try to do it by naming the smell instead of the object that gives off the smell. I will wait. We don't have names for smells, no words to describe the scent independent of the source of the scent. That is why you don't often consciously think of the importance of the sense of smell. Its easy to name what you see, that is why you think of sight. But your sense of smell recalls memory more strongly, impacts your emotions more strongly and is the first and most important sense chronologically speaking as far as evolution goes.

  40. It is not possible to be both fair AND equitable at the same time. Equity is not fair.

  41. I don't particularly care. Climate change is a good thing at this point. This world isn't worth saving.

  42. I have grown shameless. My opinion of me is the only one that really matters. It's not possible for me to be wrong about my own experiences.

  43. Its part of thier plan. Girls who go to school have fewer children. Women who work have fewer children. They don't want house wives. House wives have more children.

  44. I am not refuting the speech, just saying this is the wrong audience. Someone needs to say this in China and in India.

  45. Stuff like this always happens. Some guy with great intentions comes up with a good idea. In this case to track and help clear space debris. But by the time it gets funded, some other guy coopts it and uses it for something it was never intended to do. In this case track satellites to help shoot them out of the sky. So some program that was intended to help clear up space debris, ironically ends up creating more space debris.

  46. To expand upon what others have said about the CIA, this started to occur during the cold war with Russia as a way to hide secret military operations with experimental spy planes. UFO sightings were being reported, and the CIA needed a disinformation program because eye witness testimony was giving away secret military programs. They invented the space alien conspiracy and framed eye witness testimony about unidentified flying objects as testimony by crazy people about space aliens rather than the real truth that many of these people had witnessed US experimental aircraft. This was the beginning of the reframing of "conspiracy theorists" as crazy people in order to discount those who had witnessed secret operations from exposing the secret. In reality conspiracies are anything planned in secrecy by a group. Every secret birthday party is a conspiracy. Conspiracies are common things, and people take part in them all the time. Due to the secretive nature of some hidden agencies, anything labeled and dispersed as "secret" or "top secret" by the government is by definition a conspiracy. All political campaigns have many conspiracies. A person has a legal right to conspire with their lawyer during their legal defense against criminal accusations. So my point is that conspiracies are normal. And there has been a government program to discredit those who uncover secret government programs. You seem to have fallen for this propaganda campaign, to disregard those witnesses who have seen secret plans and who expose those plans.

  47.  @aquasky1138  I agree. None of these studies take into account the amount of money that men work for and women spend. The gender consumer gap is massive and women dominate it. So Maybe those 3 hours aren't really unpaid.

  48. Ser Ratty, Where are you going to draw the line on that one? Can't Crispr-cas9 be considered a potential weapon of mass destruction? And yet at the same time it is a potential cure for many diseases. Weapons are tools, and often the same technology used to make a weapon can be used for other things as well.

  49. I remember the past, when obesity and narcissism wasn't the norm. When people could afford rent on a third of their monthly income from a full time job that paid minimum wage.

  50. Your programming is showing. You see misanthropes as misogynists. You care about women you do not care about men.
