calm your horses, biggs. harris ain’t no ‘philosopher’, and the fact that as a thinker he’s grounded in neuroscience and common-sense, is, for me - someone who has spent decades traversing ‘serious philosophy’ - a very great relief. ten years ago i would’ve thought ‘harris isn’t going deep enough’… but now after having gone to those depths myself and discovering there is nothing there, i am delighted to find someone like harris… and relieved to know harris is gaining popularity within contemporary philosophical circles because we need someone like him in there, bro. somebody’s got to cut through all the bullshit while at the same time leaving the spirit of intellectualism intact.
you’d probably find that there’s much in common between the two of you… and you’d be hard pressed to find another guy so willing to ‘explore’ and engage in open conversation about the problems we are faced with, but without all the pedantic pretense of the typical serious philosopher. the dude couldn’t be more down to earf, biggs.
hahaha… I’m almost done with part 4 of the Peterson/Harris debates, and I noticed something funny evolving throughout the series. There’s a slow intolerance and impatience for/with Peterson that’s slowly building over. The debates began with a feeling of congeniality, but over time Peterson becomes less and less credible in Harris’s eyes - despite Peterson’s genuine well mannered enthusiasm. Finally you notice Sam wanting to imply ‘enough is enough with the ubiquitous rambling’, although he wouldn’t say it.
Go to 1:42:00 in the 4th one to catch a glimpse of Harris’s exasperation at Peterson’s obscurity. Lol.
i did two takes because rarely am i satisfied with anything i say. my brain is always moving too fast for my mouth so the ideas push and shove to get out; result, impatient, incoherent rambling. my points remain solid… but my articulation of them leave much to be desired. i would be willing to take a ‘how to be an effective speaker’ class as long as you pay for it, not me. well because i already know the troof. and if you want me to be able to tell you the troof, you’re gonna have to pay for developing my skill to provide it to you. you’d pay a college professor, right? so what’s the difference. if you’re genuinely interested in the Troof, i’ll open a pay-pal account.
All of this prompts me to create a new thread. One that explores minds like Harris’s and Peterson’s discussing relationships that are clearly of interest to me.
Holy historical materialists… I found the actual teacher and professor of logic that schooled Rosa Lichtenstein. This dude right here… and I found this out here.
So this guy was like the pai mei to her Uma Thurman, then. I mean you can tell the guy was the shit just by looking at em. Those eyes mean business when they hit the chalkboard, folks. It’s no mystery now why Rosa’s such a beast.
that’s right, ya’ll niggas felt the bern yesterday on CNN. first we gonna bring the landlords before a workers tribunal. half a paycheck on rent my ass. dis how we do it brooklyn style.
“I am a Marxist revolutionary socialist; Sanders is far too moderate for us. He just wants to run capitalism better than the Republicans and ‘moderate’ Democrats, not terminate it — like we do.” - Rosa Lichtenstein
I’m sorry, did she just say Bernie is far too moderate?
Holy shit. Bernie’s like a living card carrying geriatric red scare on the campaign trail, and she’s calling the guy too moderate.
Man this chick is not playing, y’all. Not playing at all.
Shaleece, can you just…, please be quiet for a minute? please? thank you. okay it’s obvious you’ve done some research and certainly have a grasp on the environmental influences on intelligence purposely put into place by the capitalists to make you dumber than you already are… wait i didn’t mean it like that. let me start over. i’m trying to tell you the troof and that is very difficult to do, Shaleece. what you have to accept is that there is a definite genetic component to levels of intelligence, but here’s the good news. and listen up because this is important: it’s okay if you’re not a genius, Shaleece, because all that matters in our new meritocratic society is that you are a productive member of society and don’t let your hair touch anyone without their consent. see it’s only because black folks were too quickly integrated into western society and in the totally wrong context (capitalism) that all this mess is going down. naturally, you’re going to be a little upset about this and that’s understandable, but this kind of nonsense has got to stop. really. all that does is make conservative whitey dislike you even more, and the leftists who are trying to help you don’t find it particularly inspiring either. you’re just making the job more difficult with that silly shit.
so let’s recap. yes, environment plays a role in intelligence. you got that part right. but genes do too, and if you are a carrier of those genes, you cannot be a mozart or a godel or a john stuart mill. but Shaleece… you don’t have to be. especially not today when you’ve got things like google and self driving cars. all you gotta do is find your niche in the work force and do you thang… whatever that ends up being. maybe open a hair salon or something like that.
these clowns at fox can’t get anything right, can they? look at these two bashing bernie for being a millionaire. but wait… he makes his money from book sales and campaign contributions… not by paying 500,000 employees salaries and wages which are only a fraction of the value that their labor produces. the first thing parasites like this boch idiot need to understand is what capitalism is and how it distorts the meaning of the word ‘work’. until this fundamental and rather convenient misunderstanding is cleared up, these parasites won’t be able to comprehend why leftists are railing against them. but to understand is to admit, and to admit is to recognize your actual place and role in the chain of production… which is the most minor role in the actual production of value. and who would want to admit that? how embarrassing would that be? wouldn’t you rather be a guest on fox news where you’ve got an audience of ignorant american idiots who lap up anything you say? of course you would.
What a disappointment. It only got good at 3:50, and then only a little. Whiney college kids and skater punks vs white trash rednecks and hillbillies. You know it’s stuff like this that makes me not even want to be an anarchist no more. Wtf is wrong with this country. Where’s the money. Show me the fuckin money. Emma Goldman packed a better punch than these clowns.
liberal democractic horizontal accountability don’t work because the cocksuckers in each branch of government are in cahoots with each other. one branch can’t put another branch in ‘check’ when all three of em need to be in check by some other body that doesn’t consist of cocksuckers. but there ain’t no such branch.
counsel democractic vertical accountability, on the other hand, can issue a direct recall of a specific cocksucker from a specific branch of cocksuckers. this gives the people true executive democratic control over the cocksuckers. i’m fairly confident that trumpf would be back to renting apartments and illegally soliciting call-girls right now if our current bumper-crop of cocksuckers had any vertical accountability.
