Yeah, totally.

It's super weird how some people can't understand that there's a middle ground between "Sex=evil" and "sex in public should be legal!"... at risk of sounding like a centrist lol

You're not a centrist if the truth is, in fact, somewhere in between two ludicrous extreme arguments. That just makes the people at the extremes crazy.

I think it's grotesque to parade around a brain damaged man for a self-help grift even if said brain damaged man is as horrible a person as Jordan Peterson. That said, this is an entirely logical outcome of everything Jordan Peterson has ever done, so I have no sympathy for him.

Sympathy and empathy are not the same things.

Yeah agree there but the picture with this made it rather clear that this is their annual skiing holiday. It does suck but it's really not front page news. I stand by my initial point, trying to garner tears for the wealthy family of four that go skiing every year is terrible journalism.

Actually pretty sure it is, except simp has incel connotations and cuck has men going their own way connotations. The sentiment is basically the same and they are used by the same people (when you consider that incels and MGTOW are a Venn circle.)

On the other hand, maybe a voluntary limiting of a child's sensorium should be something they decide for themselves once they're adults. If an adult chooses it for themselves, that's one thing, but parents forcing it on their kid is something that doesn't sit well with me. To me it's like parents denying a poorly-sighted child glasses.

Thank you.

Except, unfortunately, implants don't perfectly 'cure' deafness, are a permanent surgical solution, and can in some cases end up causing pain and distress because of distressing sensory imput that is poorly filtered. There are valid reasons to argue it's something people should wait to decide for themselves, unlike wearing glasses, and unfortunately the best results for getting the implant seem to result when it's gotten as an infant, which is the argument for doing it early.

It's dangerous to argue making an informed decision to not give your baby a cochlear implant is abusive. It's more like not giving a baby experimental eye surgery that at best results in grainy blurry vision and can cause lifelong complications. Do I think it's important to improve the options we can offer people? Absolutely. But you can't treat them like magic bullet 'cures'.

This is all absolutely true but isn't relevant to T-Man's argument, which was purely over the ethics of changing someone's senses without their consent.

Humanity is imprisoned by a killer pandemic. People are being arrested for surfing in the ocean and meditating in nature. Nations are collapsing. Hungry citizens are rioting for food. The media has generated so much confusion and fear that people are begging for salvation in a syringe. Billionaire patent owners are pushing for globally mandated vaccines. Anyone who refuses to be injected with experimental poisons will be prohibited from travel, education and work. No, this is not a synopsis for a new horror movie. This is our current reality.

Let’s back up to address how we got here...

In the early 1900s, America’s first Billionaire, John D. Rockefeller bought a German pharmaceutical company that would later assist Hitler to implement his eugenics-based vision by manufacturing chemicals and poisons for war. Rockefeller wanted to eliminate the competitors of Western medicine, so he submitted a report to Congress declaring that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all natural healing modalities were unscientific quackery. Rockefeller called for the standardization of medical education, whereby only his organization be allowed to grant medical school licenses in the US. And so began the practice of immune suppressive, synthetic and toxic drugs. Once people had become dependent on this new system and the addictive drugs it provided, the system switched to a paid program, creating lifelong customers for the Rockefellers. Currently, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US. Rockefeller’s secret weapon to success was the strategy known as, “problem-reaction-solution.” Create a problem, escalate fear, then offer a pre-planned solution. Sound familiar?

Flash forward to 2020...

They named it COVID19. Our leaders of world health predicted millions would die. The National Guard was deployed. Makeshift hospitals were erected to care for a massive overflow of patients. Mass graves were dug. Terrifying news reports had people everywhere seeking shelter to avoid contact. The plan was unfolding with diabolical precision, but the masters of the Pandemic underestimated one thing... the people. Medical professionals and every-day citizens are sharing critical information online. The overlords of big tech have ordered all dissenting voices to be silenced and banned, but they are too late. The slumbering masses are awake and aware that something is not right. Quarantine has provided the missing element: time. Suddenly, our overworked citizenry has ample time to research and investigate for themselves. Once you see, you can’t unsee.

The window of opportunity is open like never before. For the first time in human history, we have the world’s attention. Plandemic will expose the scientific and political elite who run the scam that is our global health system, while laying out a new plan; a plan that allows all of humanity to reconnect with healing forces of nature. 2020 is the code for perfect vision. It is also the year that will go down in history as the moment we finally opened our eyes.

Is this a new Adam Curtis documentary or what the gently caress?
