@Avery
David Pearce's Hedonistic Imperative (the other thing you showed me somewhat recently) was far more convincing
I thought that was you. I know this is odd but I am very attracted to something about you. I am not sure what it is. Whatever it is, it's probably just a mask and it would disappear if I tried to actually grasp it. Like some sort of 3d projection.
Besides, the developments humanity has made aren't going back in Pandora's box, and even if they could, humans would trend towards the same developments anyway.
That of course is a legitimate concern. I think Uncle Ted addresses this in one of his follow up works. I will have to look into it, and believe it or not he anticipated rebuttals from transhumanists in his manifesto as well and seems to take some of those on. Like there argument that more advanced tech will erase the damage he talks about from industrialization.
Life was harder pre-industrial revolution, and the novelty of living like 'the olden days' with wilderness everywhere would soon wear off.
Life is harder is actually one of the arguments about why humans were more fulfilled.
I don't think the olden days feel would actually wear off. Like you said. Humans are tribalistic.
A major problem of colonialists when America was being founded is that often people were kidnapped by Indians or ran off to join Indians and when colonialists saved them, they would have to be guarded to stop them from running away and returning to them.
The reverse is not true. Indians had no interest in joining the more advanced society. If we return to tribe like states. It might be hard as hell for the progress minded people to drag us back to civilized society.

Just messing with you. I think we need to find out if town loses once we are not majority or once we can no longer lynch all of Mafia

Yeah the quality of their candidates this year is shockingly bad. With 8.5% inflation and a very unpopular president they should be running away with the senate instead of it being close
Trump actually did save the party but he is a problem in some scenarios where people just don't want to support the candidate who is openly calling for revolution and spouting conspiracy theories as is the case for many Trump backed candidates who have taken the Republican ticket lead.

One thing I can say is I live close enough to the area where I get ads for the candidates. I hear like 10 Dr. oZ ads a day and none from fedderman. Same thing with billboards. oZ already has the name recognition as well.
The debate I saw a ton of clips from it and it was very sad. I felt sorry for fedderman and hope if I ever get into politics, the people close to me care more about my health than they do using me to obtain power.
I am not voting, however before I learned anything about this race my gut told me that if I manage to get my ID situation figured out I should vote for whoever Oz is running against, but then I saw who he was running against.
Just so you know, I would vote Kim Jong un over Dr. oZ, but not fedderman.
You are right about Biden perhaps being sharper than his worst critics are saying, but it's no mystery that he isn't in charge of the Whitehouse and that it is run by committee.
I can tell you in my personal life when I started getting managerial roles I started with a collaborative form of leadership. However I noticed it doesn't do anything positive. There would be decisions I opposed but everyone else liked so I went with them, and became the sole source of blame when things go wrong. I also have had a collaborative leadership style and at a certain point treating people's ideals as equal to your own gets all of your subordinates somehow thinking their ideals are superior to your own.
It also comes with the issue that I would look at things from an organizational view and they would look at it from a personal view.
"This takes longer it is stupid"
"It decreases speed by 1 percent and increases quality 10 fold Becky"
" Ugh you suck at managing "
No matter who it is though, we should be electing leaders not committees who accept no accountability for their decisions.

It’s just hard to see the point of posting on this site when I have to scroll through dozens of threads with vitriolic sub 90 iq “analysis” before there’s anything worth reading. I hate rules more than almost anyone else but at some point things become unusable
This is why I advocated for making esperanto the site language. Most people with sub 120 IQs aren't going to be bothered to even learn it, so it acts as a great filter plus it is kind of a thing a lot of commies like so it will get more leftists on the site . Honestly none of these people are challenging to debate and the few liberals who are challenging either rarely debate or are actually moderates

Esperanto was also being taught in concentration camps and often times when the guards enquired as to what they were doing they claimed to be teaching Italian as Italy was one of Germany's allies at the time

It's not that humans are not adapted well to changes brought about by the industrial revolution. It's that the technological society is trying to turn humans into a cog in the wheel.

I assume you mean because the creator of esperanto was Jewish.

You guys should probably watch how you talk to RM. He is likely the next president of the site and I will support him the second he adopts the following parts of my agenda

3. Wylted bux adopted as official currency

@RationalMadman
I don't think it has a culture since it's a constructed language but okay.
I think I am using the term in a very generic way, but that is one of the criticisms of esperanto.
It's not really supposed to have a culture though. It is meant as a second language and the only reason it isn't the world language is because the French opposed it.
French was the international language prior to WW2. The funny thing is that France wants to preserve their language and I think had esperanto happened instead of being opposed by then, they wouldn't be having their language poisoned with so much borrowing of English words

There is the belief that Jesus will not return until everyone has heard the message, so it's a way to hasten his return and save souls in the process.

I am told it is the only one you can exclusively use Duolingo to be fluent in. I am working on it myself. Also what is not advertised is that if you want to travel internationally, the culture would allow you to do so without ever having to get a hotel room. You just stay with another speaker in the area

@RationalMadman
So none of those double standards exist in esperanto?
Correct. It was created to eliminate everything that makes languages hard, while retaining the ability to convey anything you want, unlike other conlangs that merely try to make everything easy, like toki pona.
Words are eurocentric such as about 60% of it from latin, 30% from Germanic languages and and the sentence structures being largely Slavic.

@RationalMadman
Esperanto was designed to be easy. Meanwhile English has too many words where even I have not mastered the language. You have alsoo pronunciation stupidity where every letter in esperanto is pronounced the same no matter what. Here are some words that do not rhyme in English.
1. Dough
2. Rough
3. Through
You also have very complicated rules in English about word ordering. Even stuff you don't know being a native. For example you can have a big, red, bloody knife but if you rearrange those words you sound like a nut

As far as native languages are concerned you may be right, but esperanto has zero irregularities which is the hardest part of learning a language. There are Chinese people who are fluent in esperanto in 9 months who have been studying English for years and still don't have a good grasp of it.
You also have the fact native English speakers have a command on the language that gives them an unfair advantage when debating non English speakers. There are PHD graduate philosophy students whose native language is Sanskrit and I would fuck them up in a philosophy debate that is in English. The same people with an equal grasp of esperanto as me would crush me quite easily and be better able to elucidate upon their ideals

@Elliott
What you guys are missing is that English, mandarin French all of these other international languages are hard to learn. It really excludes the working class and poor of the world, while esperanto you can become fluent in, in 6 months sitting on your toilet. While languages like English take 4 years of intense study, excluding people who have better shit to do like work and support a family.

They are sweeping this under the rug but depape is aknown gay prostitute and when police arrived he said he was a gay prostitute and it was a fight over money while the senators husband tried to claim it was an assassination.
Do you honestly think randos can just wander onto a senators property with a hammer?
More importantly, any assassination attempt is going to take into account Pelosi's public schedule and can make a more accurate guess as to when she will be home.

Also did you know that since pelosi has been speaker of the house she gets 44% return per year on her stock picks?
In unrelated news I am not sure why that guy would randomly think Pelosi is corrupt and want to seek justice. What an idiot

Simply untrue.To raise the debate above mere assertions or voting based on who the voter like, evidence was needed for voters to weigh. Further, unlike Vici, I did not base any of my evidence on DDO; but rather positive contributions on this site and beyond.
I meant that as a form of rhetoric to display my point. I don't actually think your source spammed. I don't think you did anything wrong.
I think it took a lot of courage to take the debate and some how managed to conduct yourself honorably and did not take the easy route of being arrogant.
I do think you should challenge yourself more, but I have no room to speak. I have not been able to try hard on a debate since DDO was a thing

Well, you did say that Vici hadn't received any fair votes, which seemed to imply that the votes that were there weren't fair. I could have misinterpreted that, however

No, I wouldn’t. You weren’t even trying to persuade people. We all asked you for evidence. You provided none. You made a claim, everyone called you out on it, and still you tunneled me.
Read the first chapter of blink from Malcolm gladwell. It talks about how a bunch of paint experts couldn't explain why they thought a specific piece was a fraud but they all ended up being right.
Everyone in that game had their gut tell them you were scum but they lost because they were dumb and said this to themselves
"My subconscious can do complex math to catch a ball with a million calculations in a fraction of a second, but instead of listening to an intelligence that strong, derp I will only lynch him if I can explain my log well"
So they basically lynched not based on what they knew but based on what they could best rationalize.

You need to be able to persuade people, which you’re abhorrent at.

I wonder what will change: his characterization of your vote as unfair or his characterization of you as unbiased.
I didn't call his vote unfair. I haven't seen it, I haven't even called the current votes wrong for how they awarded argument points, but there is obviously a clear bias against vici here. Maybe she loses if the bias isn't present. I don't know, but just because votes are one way and bias is present, doesn't mean the bias is wrong

What you guys get wrong is thinking this is a social game it isn't. You just go with the highest IQ town member you town read and do what they tell you.
The exception would be when RM gets into theme analysis.
If I am ever in a game with you guys, just do exactly what I say and you will win. If I die NP1 just take the scum list I gave you and kill those people one by one based on how confident I am.
The world just works better when everyone does what I tell them to
