So why do they put themselves on top of the genetics leaderboard when asians tend to outperform in lots of areas and had one of the longest-running fairly stable monarchies ever known? I mean I know the real reason, that then they wouldn't get to be the magic future space robot rape kings, but what's their bullshit reason?

(bicameralism is a crock of poo poo)

Haha oh wow, I mean I knew about bicameralism and all that and it never really amounted to more of a "huh I guess that's one way it could have happened" sort of thing for me. I didn't realize anyone thought that asians literally had them to this day. How do you even reconcile that image with anything about reality? Wait I know the answer to that one too.

being trans isn't just deciding one day that you feel like changing your gender for shits and giggles so yeah no

Right now this is true, and it's pretty lovely and insensitive to say "well how come more people don't just choose to be trans just as a gently caress you dad sorta thing huhh!?"

However, I could totally see (maybe 20-40 years from now when it's way more socially acceptable and easier to do) people changing genders just 'cuz, for the same reasons they get piercings or breast implants or any of the other things people do to their bodies because they can. Personally I think that would be neato to have the option to be a girl that doesn't involve major social stigma and years of therapy and hormones and still very primitive surgery but I can also see it becoming tied to dumb controlling subcultures like The Time Dissolver mentioned.

This is all hypothetical though and in the current culture these are stupid, harmful ideas that de-legitimize transpeople so whatever.

They saw REAL philosophers use big words sometimes so therefore if they act like that people will recognize them as real philosophers. Which is funny in its own right, because a huge part of philosophy that I've noticed is trying to condense an argument down into its most basic elements and express them simply so there's very little ambiguity and much less surface area for counter-arguments to latch on to.

Also melopepocephalic:

melo - "song" according to Munin
pepo - Latin / Ancient Greek for "a large melon"
cephalic - Having the specified type of head or brain

So... song-melon head? Singing melon head maybe?

EDIT: "melopepo" as a single root being a squash makes more sense - squash-headed like LordSaturn said

I saw a story or documentary or something about a woman who thought this was a great idea until her husband wound up using threats of violence to turn her into a silent slave and she was horribly terrified the entire time but thought that this was how a relationship "should" be at the time or something like that and it was all very :smith:

Quite a few of the testimonials are from women, though. :confused:

The women buy into it too, they both agree to the woman's "place" and the man's "place" in disciplining her. It has nothing to do with the BDSM community for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is BDSM's valuing of safewords and consent.

Personally, I think it's more that we live in a world where we're constantly aware of the achievements of people who are way, way smarter than us, who might be better at the things we do than we could ever hope to be. So, in order to feel good about themselves, conspiracy theorists construct this narrative where *everybody else* is stupid and deluded 'sheeple', and they're the only ones who really see what's going on, allowing them to believe that they're smarter/better without actually doing anything to prove that.

The people I've met who actually believe them have minds that tend to work in that schizophrenic kind of way where any little incidental pattern is amplified 100 times, like the pattern-matching parts of their brain are massively over-driven. Suddenly something completely meaningless like "these pictures of presidents are all at weird angles or have weird lighting that kinda-sorta make their eyes look funny if you squint" becomes "all of these presidents have weird eyes" and then "all of these presidents are secretly reptiles." Otherwise they've all been perfectly fine people :shobon:

Pope Guilty posted:

The Hans Herman Hoppe folks take libertarianism to the next level by asserting that not only land and property should be owned but also government structures. Since everything being owned is the best system, obviously the government itself being owned (i.e. by a king) is the bestest system. And if that king were to, say, hate black people and homosexuals, it would be completely, indefensibly immoral for anybody to object.

I think someone already said this but goddamn the whole thing is like someone tried to make the most ~edgy~ belief system possible.

This is, quite simply, empirically incorrect. Even without the contradiction inherent in declaring infinity to be equal to one. Fun fact: some models predict an extra time dimension.

Usually, cryonics "treatment" is paid for out of life insurance, so the spouse (and sometimes children) feel like he's stealing tens of thousands from his surviving family that they could use to get back on their feet after his death or at least do something productive with. I suspect people who stipulate in their wills that some large fraction of their life insurance payout goes to charity don't meet nearly the same hostility.

Wait really? I always thought it was one of those "you gotta pay before you die" things since you need a team of freezer guys standing by ahead of time whenever you're planning on dying. You can really pay for it out of life insurance and gently caress over your family?

The founders have done as much as they can to make learning Hoon as counterintuitive as possible for anyone who already knows any other programming language. Literally even 0 is true and 1 is false.

The 1/0 convention was established because of the nature of electronic encoding. fundamentally, no matter what language you use, it ends up in binary when it's actually being processed. Reversing it, especially just for the sake of being different, is the most asinine thing I've ever heard of in computer science, and this is a field dominated by asinine people.

I'd imagine some of the logic gates would have to be physically built differently too or have a NOT added to them or something.
