This Gen-X guy spent a lot of time contemplating the universe. He concluded that Personal Freedom is baked into it, and that comes with ethical implications.

I conclude that the academic differences between communism and socialism are irrelevant, to be categorically dismissed. They are interchangeable, parasitic systems masquerading as philanthropic symbiosis. They thrive on minds unable to penetrate its morally rotten essence.

The bastard who shot up Dunblane was responsible for his actions alone. So why can't I own a handgun? I'm trained in their use and a law abiding citizen.

@Redchief000 @bitchuneedsoap That's a big part of it. At any intelligence level, the less introspective cognitive reflection that's going on, the more vulnerable one is.

They're scripting the outrage. A "Creator Brief" is being circulated to influencers telling them exactly what to say about Delaney Hall. Rule 1: Don't call it a detention center. Call it a "concentration camp." Rule 2: Don't call them detainees. Call them "captives." Rule 3: Don't say people were arrested. Say they were "kidnapped" or "abducted." Pre-written content hooks include: "Wake the fuck up America. We're officially Nazi Germany." The brief provides four tiers of content creation (from "like and share" to "record a direct-to-camera video"), eight accounts to follow for updates, dozens of pre-selected video clips sorted by platform, and a word-for-word "Core Message" every creator is supposed to repeat. It even tells creators to follow "guidance on Delaney from Detention Watch Network." That's the same DWN with $7.2 million in assets and Ford Foundation funding. The same org that employs the main protest organizer, Jenny Garcia. Foundation money funds the organizer. The organizer runs the protest. Then a content playbook gets distributed telling influencers which words to use and which clips to share. That's not a grassroots movement. Screenshot below.

That actually checks. School "anti bully" campaigns drove the overt bullying (male coded) deep underground, unleashing the covert bullying (female coded) into center stage. The end result is a generation of males who have been stripped of their childhood education regarding the ins and outs of physical force, and a generation of ascendant long house mistresses groomed for their role.

"Gentle parenting" is simply feminine style emotional abuse of children who have no way of coping with the implied threats there Spanking (done correctly) is a clear "this is a specific thing you need to learn not to do" whereas "gentle parenting" is an ominous threat to withdraw affection unless the child figures out the answer to the riddle of what is vexing the woman inflicting this treatment

Spanking was common in normal American households a couple decades ago, it's just that Millennials and Gen Z are neurotics terrified by the thought of exerting power over another human being.

Actually, I *do* know wtf I'm talking about. You could too, if you bothered to look anything up. Of course, there were a few abject moral imbeciles who shot up Sikhs after 9/11, because their neanderthal brains lumped all brown people with head dresses into the same bucket. Muslims and Sikhs are not the same. x.com/i/grok/share/4…

@Hitchslap1 Once in a blue you hear of someone escaping some oppressive right coded system, straight into the eager, waiting arms of the Progressivists. IMO, that's just swapping out one abusive system for another.

The minute you admit a concept of "good guys" vs "bad guys", it will eventually get to politics. This problem is well known in game design circles, even in the 90's it was understood that the only safe enemies were Nazis, zombies, monsters, aliens and demons. Communists and Socialists got a pass because admitting the inherent evil of those systems offended the significant fraction of humanity still invested in it.

Why are all these autonomous boatbuilders like @Saronic insisting they’re “shipbuilders”? Warboat sounds cooler than warship anyway. Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s vote on it. Which sounds better?

Introspective Cognitive Reflection: The mind's shield. *Thinking* minds generate percept outputs from the deeper operations of concept. They also ingest percepts and map them to concept, testing, rejecting, accepting and integrating as appropriate. When that ingest process is thwarted, error is introduced. AI output and propaganda both share a common mechanism: they deploy what can be described as "fluent nonsense". When it is grammatically coherent and semantically warm, humans tend both interpret the results as having been output by a sympathetic mind, and to admit the stream into their cognition, and tend to evaluate it as true, bypassing the cognitive security of cognitive reflection. AIs do this as a consequence of how they operate: they are complex, multidimensional statistical engines that generate streams of tokens from their training corpus. They utterly lack any concept of concept or the capacity to operate at the level of concept. Human minds, as an extension of how we deal with story tellings of various sorts, suspend disbelief and collaborate with the sequence, anthropomorphically interacting with the thing as if it were a mind. This is a useful mode, AS LONG as the suspended disbelief is resumed, the concepts are tested, and appropriate segregation between well tested and trusted concepts and provisional, fictional, and untrusted concepts are maintained. Propagandist generate streams of percepts that support their desired goals. They ensure that they are warm, flatter their target's sensibilities, and do this to entirely sidestep and actively avoid the crucial cognitive reflections that threaten to pop the bubble they weave. In other words, they want you to suspend your disbelief, AND NEVER RESUME IT, at least as far as their particular goals are concerned. The ever increasingly effective soup of propaganda we live in is reason enough to invest and cultivate individual cognitive security, the dawning age of AI is a force multiplier that makes it all the more urgent. It's also abundantly clear that our public education institutions have entirely failed at this. Given their alignment with the propagandists, we can see why. Fair warning: *raw intelligence* without cognitive reflection isn't sufficient to pierce the bubble. In fact, high IQ without cognitive reflection can result in constructions of justification as to why a cherished thing is true, completely divorced from any reality to the contrary. We see this all the time with the Besmenov Demoralized, who cognitively resist concepts contrary to their invested beliefs. As with all things: first, see to yourself. Then, see to your families and inner circles.

The Pope resents the competition. People lacking cognitive reflection tend to naturally worship anything complex phenomena that looks like an omnipotent mind. Such people are dopes, and the main reason we need to invest in cognitive security. The Pope also knows that robust cognitive security stands against his interests.

the pope is looking ten years into the future, at the emergence of ai worship, and writing in order to head off that sect. no need to read much more into the metaphysics at play. as I wrote last year:

Bill Maher asks how the government plans to fund universal basic income if “20 percent” of people lose their jobs and stop paying taxes. “The kids are booing AI... They get it that it’s going to take all their jobs.” “Dario Amodei, he’s the CEO of Anthropic. He says unemployment could spike to 10 to 20 percent. That’s what it was in the Depression, 20 percent.” “Ford CEO said AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind, could replace half of all white-collar workers. And what is the plan? I don’t get it.” “It’s like, ‘Oh, well, no one will work anymore, so we’ll give them a universal basic income.’ With what?!” “If they don’t work, that money has to come from the government. How are they going to get it to the government if the people aren’t paying taxes?!”

This actually happened. It's not an X hoax. 100,000 is a huge number, and Grok says the true number is thought to be as high as one million. The USA was probably their top destination. On Dec 10, 2025, India seized 100,000 forged diplomas from 22 universities. The Indian government know the names of the fake degree holders. Many were medical degrees, some were nursing or engineering. The US State Department must demand the names of all fake Indian degree holders. Then they must be expelled from the USA, or imprisoned. If India won't provide the list, then we must expel all Indians who were admitted or hired on the basis of Indian credentials. If you disagree, then you want to children to die from preventable medical errors or collapsing bridges.

I don’t believe the kirpan should be banned because one Sikh misused it It should be banned because we shouldn’t have two tier rules or special exemptions for certain religions especially when it comes to weapons.

If Sikhs get an exemption to carry a knife, then men transitioning to women should get an exemption to enter female-only spaces and sports. If Sikhs get an exemption to carry a knife, then Muslims should get an exemption to practice polygamy. If Sikhs get an exemption to carry a knife, then Jews should get an exemption to run schools that provide almost no secular education where kids would only be taught about Judaism. If Sikhs get an exemption to carry a knife, then Christians should get an exemption to refuse medical care for their sick children on faith-healing grounds. If Sikhs get an exemption to carry a knife, then some atheists should get an exemption to use psychedelics based on their sincerely held philosophical beliefs. At that point, there’s no point having laws that supposedly apply to all of us. We’d just let every community pick whatever thing they want exempted.

We used to do that, up until a court case called Griggs v. Duke Power made it illegal. Fun fact: that's when college degrees started being mandatory for white collar jobs. Companies stopped being allowed to filter out retards with a test, so now every single person in the country has to pay tens of thousands of dollars and spend four years doing pointless bullshit so they can get a piece of paper that for the vast majority serves no purpose apart from indicating that they aren't a complete idiot

If IQ is so useful why dont employers just give an IQ test for the interview and hire the highest scorers ?
