@ForerunnerMind @MatthewParrott How do you think it gets corrupted? Genetic mutation, something that happens during fetal development, through imprinting in one’s youth, in some other way, in more than one ways?

@ppmski @MatthewParrott Corrupted neurology, and that’s actually why I gave those specific examples: It’s not true same-sex attraction, it’s a paraphilia, and the brains of those with paraphilias mimic those with OCD and/or addictions. I learned about this in college, the research is pretty interesting.

What sam's trying to admit here, and what the world's not ready to hear yet, is the shocking truth: GLP1s cure homosexuality. He started panicking and throwing up because he became straight and realized he was in a gay relationship with a gay dude.

Sam Altman Overdosed on GLP-1s "Taking enough of it makes you have not a desire for anything else. Few days laying in a hospital bed staring at a white ceiling thinking nothing, not wanting anything." — @sama

@mudscryer I feel bad for normie men who are barely above women in their ability to be interested in inanimate objects or abstract ideas. Objective truth belongs to the latter category. Without aspies, we’d still be in caves.

I feel bad for all the other high IQ people who didn’t also inherit whatever other axis it is that makes you socially intelligent. You haven’t lived until you’ve harmlessly manipulated a social situation towards an entertaining outcome just because you can

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down. It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems. A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means: Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad." Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language. Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed. Both walk away frustrated. Both have wasted each others time.

@mudscryer Communication across a huge IQ gap is possible, but always boring for both sides.
English
If you can’t effectively communicate with people who you perceive are significantly lower IQ than you, you may need to consider that you are not as high IQ as you thought.

@MatthewParrott @ForerunnerMind Also because the imprinting theory explains some patterns. People who grow up in male-only environments (British boarding schools, Afghanistan, medieval Mamluk barracks) are more likely to become gay. Child actors, the children of rich f*g hags like Anderson Cooper.
English
@MatthewParrott @ForerunnerMind I believe in the imprinting theory of sexual orientation because I’ve read many biographical and autobiographical accounts of specific encounters turning people gay. John Travolta was in the news recently. He was quoted as telling a story of that sort, among others.
English
@ForerunnerMind @MatthewParrott Only the first exposure matters. A switch is flipped at that time. Forever. No amount of subsequent different-orientation exposure will unflip the switch. No new compulsion will develop. The old one will remain.
English
@ForerunnerMind @MatthewParrott Meaning that a straight man who enters prison, and is exposed to gay sex there against his will, will come out straight.

@Skwerilleee Libertardianism is nerds who don’t like dealing with the fuzziness of the human world, who want to explain and reorder it with a simple rule. It’s also hostile elites promoting an atomizing, immoral ideology to enemies.
English
Libertarianism is just 120 IQ people with a strong moral compass projecting their psychology onto everyone else.
English
@ppmski @MatthewParrott Homosexuality is a paraphilia, not a sexuality. This is what the research shows. It’s why their brains resemble those with OCD, etc. It’s a compulsion rather than a true urge.

The Roman naming conventions are odd because they're EXTREMELY non-IE.
Most IE languages tend to use dithematic names – two lexemes w/ a list of common stems tied into a single name. The Roman tria nomina are nothing like that. They're however similar to some Semitic conventions

@FistedFoucault Do any non-blacks actually, honestly like blacks? The moment I asked myself that question, I thought of an attractive woman that I know who had a kid with a black guy. And yes, she’s a single mother.
English
@FistedFoucault The last time I saw someone bring that up, many years ago, it turned out Burns was living in a 99% white town in New England.

Ken Burns really, really likes Black people

Preparing a video and an essay on the nationalism.
Defining it, and exploring whether it is a sentiment, a political philosophy, or an ideology.
Any reccommended reading materials that I have missed?
(I have also read George Orwell, Walker Connor, and Ernest Renan's work.)

Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people. Video: @radiosvoboda's reporter Serhii Nuzhnenko.
