Questions for Statists

st0nedeye says...

Isn't there some sort of right-wing video site that you can post your nonsense to where the audience will appreciate it, form in a circle, and jerk each other off?

This new-age libertarian crap is about as stupid of an idea as I've ever come across. It's nothing more than hippie-esque "Give peace a chance" horseshit, without the excuse of being a drug burnout.

It really doesn't take much to recognize some commonalities in "government-less" places: Tribalism, Warlordism, Violence, and Death.

Wanna fuck with a libertarian?

1) Ask them if they owe society for anything.
2) Watch the instantaneous "no" fly from their lips.
3) Point out that thousands, maybe millions, of people have sacrificed themselves to their benefit.
4) Sit back and watch the squirm.

This reminded of the a scene in Always Sunny. S02E03, first 60 seconds. Dee and Dennis are the Libertarians.

Ol Boy - Fulfillment of a Dying Wish

robbersdog49 says...

What a load of new age bollox.

Anthropomorphising that poor animal. Making it suffer for as long as possible because some bullshit 'communicator' said it was what it wanted.

They prolonged its suffering for nothing more than their own gain.

Disgusting. I really feel for the poor thing. It deserved to be put out of its misery, not made to suffer like that.

BANNED TED Talks Graham Hancock on Consciousness Emergence

shagen454 says...

Your EDIT, is exactly what stood out. You still assume that we understand all of our biological behaviors and how they evolved. Look, this is starting to turn into Mr. Science arguing with some New Age Guru and I am starting to see some sort of silly social rift occurring.

Look at my posts. I believe in science, I LOVE science. I have always been a science nerd first and foremost. This is one experience where I think many just have to take the plunge and find out. This is just like science. Light it up and find out. No one could possibly describe what happens with any form of human communication. Test it. I am not trying to sell you anything, go make it yourself, it is easy to make... Then come back and tell me about our brains evolutionary process.

I would make the same sort of "assumptions" if you told me you had a new type of gasoline that could make cars fly. Its not that I'm some sort of car-genius, its just that I have some general knowledge about what cars are and where they come from.

The context is everything.

Just like modern cars are the result of an iterative process that stretches a hundred years, our brains are products of a purposeless biological evolution that has been churning away for hundreds of millions of years. Our consciousness is perhaps a bit like a driving computer in a modern car, its a byproduct of the ultimate purpose of the thing: in the case of a car, to make an optimal driving machine, in the case of the brain to make an optimal survival machine.

Our brain evolved for things like survival, parental care, tool-use, pattern recognition and language processing, probably roughly in that order.
EDIT: And consciousness emerges from a combination of these features.

It is in this context all claims about dualism ultimately must be seen: When and where in this process did the magical unicorns insert the secrets of the universe, or the eternal soul or whatever else into our brains?

Or are you just tripping?

My assumptions then , I make because its a whole lot less to assume than what I'd have to assume if the opposite was true.

• because i've done pretty decent research on what they have to say and it's almost entirely and demonstrably horseshit (that's a scientific term)

• my agreeing with them isn't particularly important because what they say is commonly if not always outside their area of expertise (icke's area of expertise is football, chopra is technically a medical doctor, and haramein's is, well, nothing). because of this their understand of their "proof" is painfully poor and their conclusions from their proof is laughable. and as i like to say, even if they are right, the method that got them there was wrong (so to speak).

• they do seem to be crazy people who's insanity infects others. SO many people buy into this kind of wishful thinking and i think it's dangerous and damaging to the intellectual process and infrastructure we've spent so long building. it's baseless new age bullshit perpetrated by charlatans.

• babies and puppies are delicious, i don't know what's wrong with you.

• the blanket statement is due to most/all of these ideas having been completely discredited.

• i don't care what you call yourself or them but they are saying things that are untrue. if they were just making up a new mythology that didn't try to have any basis in science or facts then i wouldn't care but they pretend that certain theories mean things when they don't understand the theories in the first place.

• it can be discussed but in that discussion, like this one, it can be dismissed pretty quickly.

• i don't know anything about your "faith" so i can't really comment on it but if you're telling people your faith is an objective truth then we have a problem.


to be clear, i have seen the movie. i know who this kid is and i've seen his other movies (one i liked). just because he spent a lot of money on his informal research does give credence to said research. by volume, i could probably find more information on this type of nonsense than the science they're supposedly basing these ideas on. AKA there is SO much of this garbage out there.

>> ^kir_mokum:
anything that takes deepak chopra, nassim haramein, and david icke seriously is not worth paying attention to.

i wasnt going to comment but curiosity has gotten the better of me.
why would you state that with such authority?
because you disagree with those people?
find their theories to be suspect?
are they crazy people whose insanity may infect others?
do they eat babies and kick puppies?
why the blanket dismissal?
because one is a spiritualist who has a different way of approaching the human condition?
or that another has wild conspiratorial theories?
does that invalidate them from participating in discussions on what we should do?
and if that is the case..
what about me?
i am a man of faith.everything i do and say is born from my faith.
yet the form my faith takes would make me an apostate and i would have been executed only a few hundred years ago.
does me being a man a faith invalidate my opinions?
the man who made this movie is from the gamble family.the proctor and gamble family.
he spent his wealth on researching and discovery and made a movie revealing his conclusions and possible solutions.
the movie has a very humanist philosophy.
and he uses many many people to help express what he sees as an end game with global elite to control us.chopra and icke are only one of many.
i guess i just dont understand absolutist thinking.
chopra and icke?
well it must be about a. b. or c. and therefore should be ignored.
that just seems so.......limiting......to me.
i found some of the claims in the movie to be questionable and other things i agreed with wholeheartedly,but i have to give gamble credit for putting his ideas out there.
that takes balls.

Your right but back then they were still constricted by programming and memory constraints since the average computer had maybe 128k of ram to work with. I remember programming in Basic when I was like 8yrs old. I remember having to do programs sometimes upwards of 500 lines or more that only ran once and couldn't be saved in anyway. And the finished product was some Pixel Art or maybe a song that played "Mary had a Little Lamb" through a PC Speaker. Granted Basic was a very limited programming language to begin with.

Then there was the gaming crash of 83' that pretty much destroyed those same bedroom coders your speaking of.
It wasn't really till the invention of Shareware which didn't become widely used till the late 80's that things started to get back on track and people had some of the freedoms we are enjoying now with indie games and crowd-funding. Though I see and acknowledge your point about things being cyclical. If games hadn't suffered such a major setback in the early 80's things would have been very different today.

A new age has dawned for games. The ideas of the common man can now be expressed to the world in a way that was never possible before. Free of the restrictions of publishers and corporate giants. Free of the expectation to make the next great cookie cutter FPS or RPG. We can now for the first time in history truly make the games that we WANT to make. We can innovate. We can push the boundaries of the old genres. We can create new genres and we can tell the stories that not only change the industry but change the hearts of the players we strive so hard to reach. This is the second Golden Age of Gaming and I for one couldn't be more excited to see it arrive!

Erm, hardly 'for the first time'.
The first games on home computers, back in the mid 80s, were largely one man jobs. A whole collection of bedroom coders made buckets of money back then creating games for computers like the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Yeah, it then became taken over by the giant media companies, and yes it's now becoming far more accessible for people to be able to code quality games with tiny teams, and have them reach people via the internet and delivery systems like Steam.
But it's a return to that, not a first time thing, it's all cyclic

Mike Tyson Breaks Down on Oprah over Daughter's Death

draak13 says...

And yet, it still seems to be what the home viewers want to hear =P.
>> ^EMPIRE:

And... is Oprah becoming even more of a moron every passing day?
"I actually do believe that when you loved somebody and they've loved you, that you end up with an angel who's name that you know"
First of all, the last part of that sentence doesn't even make sense.
Secondly... WTF is she on? Who told you that Oprah? Was it god? Was it the angels? Was that on the bible? Are you the prophet now? Or was it Tom Cruise who told you that?
Sheesh... I can't stand this kind of stupid. You know what I mean. This new age-spiritual-the-secret-celestine-prophecy-astrology type of fucking utter feces.
Even Mike Tyson went: "I don't know Oprah..."
