Element 261

@XavierBleck @Maroxad In business, there are terms like outcome-based, results-based; they are willing to disregard tradition and "the way it's always been done" and instead focus on what actually produces the desired results. Yeah we can find illogical exceptions to this taken to an extreme.

@Maroxad @element261 Did a quick look at the wiki, i misunderstood utilitarianism, but my understanding of consequentionalism was correct, it's weird. Like if i punch a black guy in the head because i'm racist, they go to doctor and discover they have a tumor - i did a morally good thing, like wtf?!

39% say homosexuality is morally wrong. But only 4% say eating meat is wrong. We are delusional species, with strange values.

@MasculinePeak A century of billionaire-funded anti-natalist social engineering, that's what.

83% of men have no more interest in marriage. Men are hitting their 30s and 40s, and remain unmarried. What is going on?

@rushicrypto Why would anyone support this toxic organization?

Has anyone actually donated to Wikipedia? Because they’ve been “about to shut down” every year for the last 5 years 😭

@RealPostFolder The goal of the healthy, happy family trumps every other consideration including following arbitrary social scripts. So do what leads to the best possible family happiness.

@jonatanpallesen Sure, but suggest we do anything about this and you get called a eugenicist. That's the guilt by association fallacy. The baby with the bathwater. There are ways to do this that don't violate human rights.

The proportion of high-IQ people in the world is declining fast.

@LTSports80 @EricRWeinstein It's because they can make these little runabouts so cheaply that they consider them disposable.

@EricRWeinstein Aliens crash a lot for a highly intelligent species

David Grusch has talked to me many times. I have never heard any inconsistency in any set of statements. He has an unusual mind for excruciating details and discusses them with razor sharp precision at all times. What he is saying is beyond belief. And I believe he is not lying.

@TheFemoid WE aren't that stupid, but...

Wasn’t it proven that autopilot is programmed to disengage when it registers it’s about to crash? If it turns off 4 seconds before impact that means the autopilot caused the crash How are we this stupid

@ItIsHoeMath A male feminist is a traitor to his own gender. All feminists are traitors to humanity. If there is one universal rule it is be true to your own.

A male feminist is a man who has nothing to offer a woman besides obedience, which disgusts her

@DerrickEvans4WV He should countersue for all her assets.

@fandompulse This was the weakest character in the original series. Really pointless.

Nathan Fillion on whether Shepherd Book will return for the new Firefly animated series: "Absolutely, that’s the plan. Yeah, we’re bringing back Shepherd Book for certain. Ron Glass, unfortunately, is not available. Ron once joked that he didn’t get a part when they were looking for a Ron Glass-type, and here we are again. We’re looking for a Ron Glass-type, and it’s not going to be Ron Glass." Is this a good idea?

@aphotomama Most of us don't care about this at all. They could look just like mine and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Question for the hetero men out there: how do you feel about women getting their nails done? Is it important to you for attraction?

@uubzu Same with horror films and every other perversity. What we are conditioned to in childhood is what we think is normal for our own kids.

Apparently childhood exposure to hard-core pornography is so universal now that we have a generation of adults who literally cannot believe it was ever any other way So in addition to being fucked in the head by their own exposure, they have no incentive to protect their own children from it because they take it for granted as some immutable fact of the universe These are the parents of your kids’ friends

@willmourds I hope he countersues and wins all her assets.

@purdyme @Rightanglenews It's mostly nature. Nurture accounts for about 10%.

This looks to be invalid. IQ tests are dependent on the individuals exposure to modern/current environments in education, social and physical world. IQ numbers go up with higher interactions in those systems. Africans as a whole have little exposure. IQ tests do not measure capability of learning. If they had the same exposure to good education and social systems, the numbers would be higher.

BREAKING - An Africa-based research team aiming to disprove Western claims about low IQ in African countries is going viral after conducting mass IQ tests in Lagos, Nigeria, only for over 50% of participants to score below 70, with a median score of 69.7.

@HazelAppleyard Of course. I mean it's really annoying and uncomfortable, but it would set my descendants up for perpetuity. More than worth it.

NO.

@TrumpUpdateHQ No. The exact opposite. We should stubbornly continue our good Samaritanship and not allow this kind of thing to dissuade us. Instead we should prosecute people who can help but don't.

📢 BREAKING: 25-year-old hero sued for $250K after catching a woman mid-fall down the stairs. Video clearly shows he saved her from way worse injury. Instead of thanks? She claims negligence and wants a quick payday. This is why good Samaritans think twice before helping anymore. Who else is furious about this? Should there be stronger Good Samaritan protections? Or is this just greedy nonsense?

@Graham__Hancock @FlintDibble There's a good principle called "Don't feed the trolls." Stop talking about the insecure man of low character and let him go back into obscurity where he belongs. He's gotten thousands of times more attention than he deserves already.

Attn @FlintDibble : (1) you have been boasting and preening for nearly two years that you "won" your debate on the JRE with me and that your self-proclaimed brilliant performance "tanked" my audience. Usually, it is the loser of a debate, not the winner, who asks for a second round. I must therefore assume that your petulant demands to go "face to face" with me again mean you’ve known all along that you failed yourself and embarrassed your profession very badly when you sat down with me for JRE 2136 and that everything you've said on the matter since then is simply the smelly gas of a deeply insecure man. (2) In your pinned post of March 10th 2026 you accuse me of cowardice and lack of integrity and claim that I "rejected two different offers to go face to face” with you "on major, international media outlets". From whence came the “two different offers” for me to go face to face with you in a second debate? When and where were these “offers” made? And in what way, where, did I reject these offers? (3) For the avoidance of future doubt let me be clear. I am content for JRE 2136, the debate that you claim you won, to stand as the permanent record of what passed between us and to continue to allow those who are still interested to make up their own minds on the matter. I see no point in sitting down with you again to accommodate your neediness.

@ThinkerAtLarge @TheCinesthetic Came to say the same.

@TheCinesthetic Nah, it was pretty terrible. The Postman was far superior.

Waterworld (1995) is over-hated. Strip away the budget jokes and what’s left is a huge, strange, ambitious adventure packed with real stunts and a fully built world. It’s messy, but there’s way more movie there than people remember.

@ax_angelo If you can help and you don't, you're an accessory.

Definitely don't be this guy Let nature take its course You could face jail time and lawsuits without getting her consent first
