@Shila

Why are you continuing to argue about something that you know does not have a right or wrong answer?

Tarik: Maybe you should ask Double_R that question since that was his argument you highlighted not mine.

Tarik: Well in order for morality to be objective it must have MEANING right?

So yeah, that is the beauty of islam.

The worlds fastest growing cult islam has many other beauties too:

1) praying every day for Allah not to punish you

2) getting circumcised

3) living in fear

4) living life thinking you are an insignificant dust

5) being told to sacrifice animals to Allah

6) being told that all non muslims are evil

So basically, if you like this kind of stuff, join islam. I am not gonna stop you because my belief in self-determination doesnt allow me to decide about your life for you.

Gender affirming therapists are analytically a contradictory position- therapists, as Peterson as opined,  are supposed to question and ascertain whether your beliefs are valid, they are not supposed to affirm predisposed beliefs. There is no other branch of psychology which affirms beliefs as opposed to challenge outside of the pseudoscientific gender affirming therapists.

Is the truth value of 2+2=4 dependent on whether one considers the statement to have meaning? Yes or no?

No but that wasn’t the narrative when the subject of nihilism was originally introduced. Let’s recap, originally you said 

To claim something is subjective is to claim that there is no right or wrong answer.

My retort to that was that was the literal definition of nihilism because they too don’t believe in right or wrong answers, now you’re saying peoples opinions have no bearing on objectivity which I agree but that wasn’t the original narrative, the narrative was what nihilism was not whether or not it was true.

Incredible reply. May the AI prosper.

Each year in the United States more than 100 newborn baby boys die as a result of circumcision and circumcision complications. This is the alarming conclusion of a study, published in the Journal of Boyhood Studies which examined hospital discharge and mortality statistics in order to answer two questions: (1) How many baby boys dies as a result of circumcision in the neonatal period (within 28 days of birth)? (2) Why are so few of these deaths officially recorded as due to circumcision? The study, by researcher Dan Bollinger, concluded that approximately 117 neonatal deaths due directly or indirectly to circumcision occur annually in the United States, or one out of every 77 male neonatal deaths. This compares with 44 neonatal deaths from suffocation, 8 in automobile accidents and 115 from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, all of which losses have aroused deep concern among child health authorities and stimulated special programs to reduce mortality. (Remember those red noses?) Why, the study asks, has the even greater number of deaths from circumcision not aroused the same response? [**]

The way i see it, you have 2 options Barney, abuse mod privileges to tweak the reasoning via mod-editing or drop the battle and go 'fuck I was an absolute idiot in that justification for banning you and how I reasoned in your protest threads.'

I give you a chance to save face, drop the sword and make a better topic to debate. Don't use characters being too large as an excuse. Our showdown should be high-character so both can fight back extravagently to what the other brings.

Of course, there's option 3, run away like David and be a coward. Is that the type of man you are?

Barney must be LITERALLY SHAKING at this terrifying callout.

Scary stuff

You guys are having a wonderfully amazing dialogue with Shila the AI chatbot.

I don't think so myself,

To me it looks a troll post, placed intentionally to trigger people

If America is such a racist & hateful country, why do so many POC & LGBTQ commit hate crime hoaxes?

--> @Shila

A very good chatbot contribution. I support the AI overlords.

--> @Shila

Maybe so.

But junk is junk.

And these days survival is an expensive commitment.

It's theoretically possible and desirable that the human brain could be redesigned to remove its tribal elements. Perhaps something as simple as removing the more ancient part of the human brain would suffice, maybe by manually recoding human DNA to make the RNA not produce it (or to have it non-functional). Although, it's likely (if possible) going to be rewiring many parts of the brain to ignore or circumvent the tribalistic parts (I'm not sure how integrated tribalism is in the human brain).

This should have drastic implications for politics, given that tribalism basically drives the voting decisions for most people. Ideas should become the leading way that politics is conducted, instead of group self-interest. This would allow for rapid, unified development in technology and critical thought as no time would be lost on race-based politics (and other tribal battles).

I do worry about the free-loader problem (i.e. people not contributing their part to group activity). Tribalism does seem to protect against it. I doubt making humans non-tribal would also make them selfless.

I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on this. I'm not a neuro-scientist so I'm not sure how grounded in reality all of this is.

The military will see a dramatic drop in rape cases as transgenders and LGBT fill the ranks.

TWS1405: Transgenders are less than 0.5-0.8% of the population, and LGBQ are less than 5-8% of the population. Most wouldn’t pass initial medical and psych screenings. So no, there wouldn’t be enough to “fill the ranks.”

--> @Ramshutu

I still don't find your overall case of hardcore skepticism and sky-high bar setting to be reasonable. There are certainly limitations to the poll, of which you've covered, but they're not debilitating enough to render the poll results as merely an expression of perceptions. The poll needs a few reasonable assumptions and a unique interpretation of the results in order to be made valid.

I think I could defend this poll against you in this debate, and thereby show it has more value than merely collecting "perceptions".

When are you available?

@Tarik

Nihilism is a philosophical concept derived from a philosophical concept.

The practical application of nihilism is rarely practical, if at all.

Even nihilists possess an acquired sense of morality.

Not that there is such a thing as a true nihilist.

Because true nihilists would have long since topped themselves.

No, I have complete blind faith that BLM race grifters will do the right thing.

Belief in supernatural GODS is also an intellectual embarrassment.

But millions still use it as a coping strategy.

And embarrassingly too, millions of people still haven't learned that lolling about gorging themselves to near death is not a sensible thing to do.

Don't blame Mr Quetelet.

Of the surviving 11 million Africans brought across the Atlantic, only an estimated 335k were brought to North America whereas the remaining 10.7 million were taken to the Caribbean and South America. Yet to this very day, no one the world over ever hears about racism against blacks except against those blacks in America.  Sure, there is some racism in other places, but it pales in comparison to the racism claimed in America against blacks. 

If only there was some reason those woke liberals can find as to why a country that was in large part a white racist ethnostate with a 300 year history of slavery, and 100 year history of overt Apardheid and ethnoterrorism; and is now the cultural driver of western thought talks more about racism than other places…

Both links don’t appear to be accessible.

I just tried them both again, both worked for me.  In any event, they are both on Netflix, if you have it you can search for them, if not, my link was to Muscle Shoals on youtube, you can search on Youtube to watch it, not sure if Rumble is on youtube though, its well worth the effort to find out where you can see it.

--> @Shila

So you are assuming  what he means.

What gave it away? The fact that I said, "I would assume he means..." 

You must be thinking about Trump.

No. Picking a con-artist among politicians is like sifting through grains of sand. 

The word used was “misspelled.”

Greyparrot's point is that race grifters do make a lot of money, and your contention that they don't must be a result of your misspelling the word, "does." It's a clever way of stating "you're wrong."

--> @Mharman

Optional? Sorry, could you explain to me how is it optional for a baby? Are you saying babies consent to have their penises cut and mutilated?

Also, you say its not rape. Lets see: 1) nonconsensual 2) touching, cutting and penetration of genitals... yeah its rape.

Also, you seem to believe that North Korea is dictatorship. However, Kim family has approval rating of over 90% by their citizens. Compared to that, most US presidents dont even have 55%. Awkward.

--> @Shila

Nope. I just didn't care to think anything more than "frog."
