He also commits the cardinal sin in metaphysics where he starts off a claim by saying “Since we can say,....” as his launchpad to espouse pseudo-science, when the basis isn’t proven. It’s like if I said “Since we can say that trans-women are women, we can infer that...” it’s like no, that’s not proven so anything you say going forward is bullshit. Unfortunately, brain dead NPC’s buy the pseudo-science without fact-checking the initial claim or basis of his hypothesis he conveniently glosses over
Ayn Rand rightfully tears into “Altruism” and the negative effects of a society consumed by it. I’m a Christian but she makes sense. If Jesus turned his cheek on anything, i doubt it was to make friends rather than show on full display the actions carried out by bad actors if given the opportunity. He always gave a choice and let the actions speak for themselves.
I'm more a fan of her non-fictions because it calls out explicitly the different personality types you meet everyday. Some can be Family, even...or YOU. She explains the philosophy of Objectivism better in her non-fiction. Obama was asked about her in Rolling Stone mag, and at the time I was around 23 years old and just getting into her stuff. What he said made me realize he's a fraud because it was the complete opposite of her philosophy so he either never read her stuff, or read it and was intentionally misleading. Anyway, my favorite literature from her would be 2 books that changed my life: "Philosophy: Who Needs It" and "The Virtue of Selfishness".
Hilarious but sad when you remember the same people who went Vegan because they watched "Forks over Knives" or "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" and saw how big Pharma and Big Agriculture work behind the scenes (Monsanto being the big one and Bill Gates being of course involved in that.) are the same fucking dweebs who are on the side of big Pharma now....it's unreal. Peak Cognitive Dissonance.
Another Government-sponsored monopoly, yay. This is why I hate the anti-Capitalist arguments. This is NOT Capitalism, this is Corporatism. However, I think we all know at this point why the lemmings have been mislead to think it’s Capitalism’s fault. After the past 5 years I’m convinced Yuri Beznemov, F.A Hayek, Ayn Rand etc were 100% right.
Not to be a doomer, but they say that even if Amazon completely stopped doing their store they’d be just as powerful because of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Virtually every website runs on it. We’d need another hosting service to grow to their size. I don’t know much about who else is out there, but we probably need competition before there’s no free speech on the internet. So, like, yesterday we need another alternative. I’m still down to do this strategy though.
Been spreading that since 2008. The left should want it just as bad, with legal weed being a popular reason. I always said, if Bernie Sanders wanted to run for anything he should have run for Governor of Vermont where he's from. He could try his socialism there and people would flock to Vermont. If it worked, it worked!
but we all know why it wouldn't work, because it would require resources from other states to function and everything would be sucked up dry then they'd need help from other states, wouldn't let people leave, etc and it'd get ugly quick. Lol, 1st year would be dope tho, but all the artistic murals, street music and chanting can't fill your stomach with food and won't keep the heat on in winter.
And we can most likely assume that Bernie was either too afraid to run for Governor because he may have actually won that, and then he'd actually have to govern people and that's hard work. He'd actually have to nut-up and prove Socialism could work. Nope! not Bernie!
Lmao savage. Thank you, though. I came here to be closer to a family member and to study/learn the Marxist movement going on but I think I’ve learned enough for a while. I’m exhausted. I can’t land a date without the girl pledging her allegiance to Marxism, the food is too expensive and more Instagram-ready than edible, the crackheads, riots, etc. I’m tired homie. I have more black/Indian/Asian friends than white because the white people are FUCKING WEIRD here. Elitist leftist existing in their multi-dimensional assholes. This girl I’m friends with is a conservative Trump supporter from Texas and she said where she moved to in West Lynn she gets stared at when she’s running. Also her daughter came home crying a handful of days because the white kids make fun of her being Latina. The real racists are white leftists. She’s moving back to Texas next November. This place is honestly a rationally-minded persons worst nightmare.
they fight against themselves and their very nature also. Anything that reminds them they are a Man or Woman or that they are participating in Life itself revolts them. Yea, hating or blaming Capitalism is popular for them, too. It's their "metaphysical navigation" that's all fucked up imo. Any sign of adversity when it comes to critical thinking, like if they start to struggle in understanding something, they go for what they perceive to be the quickest route to "expert status" with minimal effort. That's why they love science articles (not actual science). It's the "shortcut to knowledge/enlightenment", which does not exist in Reality. When they align themselves with the cult of the left, they feel a false sense of knowledge as if just agreeing and being in proximity grants them a higher sense of being. It's kind of like being in the Mafia or any tribe, really.
Dude acts like he's got a dozen or so laptops he owned, the way he says "could be, idk". Like dude, you owned maybe 2-3 laptops but even that is ridiculous. In reality he probly had just 1 since he's a crackhead and probably loses shit all the time. Imagine the shit he had on there, too. I can imagine a shitload of porn, some weird-ass search history and all the confidential emails. That laptop is plutonium to him and his Dad.
Exactly. Eternal life doesn't mean you are eternally you (your human manifestation). It is a belief that something never becomes nothing, and nothing can never become something. What is has always been and will always be. Everything is going to be okay. When we are here we perceive time in such a way that makes us feel like between your birth and death we're in a bubble, and when we die somehow it's a bad thing. I'm not extremely well-versed, but it seems like the whole idea of Eve grabbing the apple was like wile e coyote looking down after running over a cliff...he only drops when he looks down. Grabbing the apple and analyzing the immediate reality gave us the technology we have today for a higher quality of life while we are here but also gave us the illusion that "This is it" and created anxiety and fear of dying. It turns us to sin. Double-edged sword. It's also why there are so many Occultists in Hollywood, because they fear losing all they have acquired in this life. They don't want to die. "Unlocking the secrets" of this Reality has it's merits, but it seems to me that this life is just one part of the larger point of existence. Also, this is my mystical side talking...I'm a believer in the philosophy of Objectivism while I am alive as a Human.
Saw this recent movie called "Vivarium" or whatever with Jesse Eisenberg and it was about the "existential crisis" of getting married, having a family and settling down in a nice 2 story house. I'll never forget when I was living out of my car for a month in winter years ago and how every night all I wanted was to be in a bed with a roof over my head. (cops patrol parking lots throughout the night and will give you trouble so I wouldn't have the engine running for heat or anything for clarification). How conceited for the writers of this movie Vivarium to make it seem like owning a house and starting a family should cause you existential dread.
Yea, the "High" Republic is right, lol. Pretty sure someone indulging in lust, deception, adultery, etc, would be a Sith....but what do I know as a 33 year old who grew up with Star Wars. smh. Oh and I thought Jedi weren't interested in sex or the self.
Same here, lol. I was in a band for 6 years and drank a shit-load, did coke, weed, pills, etc and met some straaange people who were fucking LOST lol. It was a cool experience because it demystified a lot, but I'm very grateful I have my Father who said to me a few years ago "It's all bullshit, son. The being famous thing, the branding, the image stuff....it's all bullshit and doesn't matter. Get your house in order and take care of yourself." I'm also grateful this site exists. Yea, there's some people kinda on the fringe but there's also a LOT of people like us, and I feel like over the years we've kind of been exiled if you know what I mean. I feel like you and I would be friends IRL and I keep getting that feeling talking to people here. If I ever wondered where people like myself went to since I was a kid, I think this is where we are currently. Reaffirms you're never alone with how you see the world. Our perspective doesn't fit the narrative currently but keep the faith homie. Thanks for sharing, also.
What if someone were to walk into a situation that made Portland Antifa initiate violence just for speaking truth to the mob. Walk in unarmed, stream the whole thing live and show the whole world what kind of scum they are. Only thing is it might start a damn civil war and you'd become a martyr. I'm just sayin if what Flynn is saying is true, I don't know how to stop it while not stooping down to their level.
