Theme: Deception

  • Dragging Others Down to Their Level

    —“Religion is a guilt economy. Look at the Left. They’ve even got Original Sin (white privilege). Contemporary politics is just a way for people to answer for the guilt they feel about their own flaws by shaming others into feeling guilty. Its just some religions say greed is a sin where others say being white is a sin.”— Dann Hopkins —“They even have their end of days prophecy in climate change.”–John Clayton (brilliant)

    It’s because they feel more vulnerable. Our ability to admit we are wrong is a combination of our vulnerability and the degree to which we have over invested in falsehoods in order to create self and other illusions of status and ability. Since both men and women do the latter, the sensitivity to vulnerability is what causes greater resistance to admit error in women. The problem for men is making women feel safe enough, or finding women that feel safe of their own accord.

    DOGMATISM ISN’T IN ITSELF A CRITICISM.

    Dogmatism isn’t a criticism. One can be dogmatic about the truth, theft, parasitism or predation – and there isn’t any criticism one can levy at that. One can be dogmatic about (a) a stated preference (b) a hypothetical good (c) an arbitrary definition, conclusion, narrative, or theory. The question is only whether one is dogmatic about a truth and theft or the arbitrary and utilitarian.

    DOGMA: a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

    Well, sorry, but truth and theft are natural laws just as every other law of nature. It’s not a matter of opinion. The fact that one STATES these laws does not mean they are imposed by authority, or are arbitrary, but that they simply incontrovertibly exist.

  • “What I always tell people who cite more “educational achievement” among liberal

    —“What I always tell people who cite more “educational achievement” among liberals, besides what this article said about how universities are really indoctrination centers, is that there is a repolarization at the top that mirrors the 50/50 split amongst the general population.

    Intelligence is a predictor of leftist leanings until you hit the the top one or two percent. “They don’t know what they don’t know” is basically another way of saying “A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

    They get to the point of questioning preconceived notions, realizing they’re not wholly rational, but not even scratching the surface of why we developed those instincts to begin with.”– Brian McQuiston

    “…Not questioning why we developed those instincts to begin with…” or why a central tenet of western and eastern civilization is the warning by Icarus against hubris. Why? It counters (a) that idealism and reason can somehow compete with a market for demonstrated results, and (b) that we are unequal in every possible way and that markets are the only means of calculating coincidences of wants and needs, and (c) that because of “b”, many people are dead weight or deleterious to the group as a whole.

    I don’t know why that would be true. It’s sacrificing LIES and FALSEHOODS as a means of group cohesion. And if one must rely on such lies then what does that say about the group’s evolutionary strategy other than that it’s a group that needs to be exterminated.
