| Topic | Jordan Peterson: Nazi apologist |
| Romes187 12/02/18 1:52:58 PM #98 | EliteC posted... donkeyjack posted...pogo_rabid posted...Is this yet another case of him being taken out of context in bad faith? I mean that depends on if you think hes apologizing. From what I gather, he wants to understand the motivations so it doesnt happen again. If you think the only motivation was anti Semitism then you likely arent worried about becoming a nazi if you arent anti Semitic. But if you think there is something that is triggered in certain situations that causes humans to behave like that, you would want to understand that something so when youre out in a position that is too terrible to imagine, youll make the right choice. Or hes a secret nazi slowly working to gather more supporters of an awful ideology by telling potential converts that nazis are disgusting but understandable in the context. Either way |

So weird seeing a bunch of people obsessed with saying everything that a bunch of people do is just "virtue signaling" turn around and say gaslighting isn't real. I know when I'm talking to someone I ALWAYS know what their intent is See if they are someone who agrees with me, their intent is good If they disagree with me, their intent is bad. And all they do is gaslight and dogwhistle. This will surely lead to a better world |

There are plenty of companies that care about you as a person and actually want to develop you. Because its in their best interest. There are some that are garbage, obviously. But definitely not all companies (if that is what you were implying) |

| Romes187 10/18/18 3:09:41 PM #15 | Damn_Underscore posted... s0nicfan posted...Great Leap Forward, easily. Isn't that where they tried "deep farming" (planting seeds multiple feet in the ground) and "communist agriculture" (plant things too close together so they can "share resources") that was the primary driving force behind their massive famine? This is one of the more dangerous aspects of a centrally planned economy dominated by threat of violence. There's no mechanism for improvement because no one wants to admit they failed....so if they can fudge the numbers they will. |
| Topic | Which is morally worse? The Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution |
| Romes187 10/18/18 3:08:49 PM #13 | ScazarMeltex posted... Yeah say what you will about Stalin's five year plans but they at least accomplished the goal of modernizing the Soviet Union. The great leap forward a disaster on all levels. Yeah definitely worked out as a long term plan for the soviet union...maybe for the russian people as whole since they still get the benefits, but I feel like modernization would have happened sans Stalin's lovely philosophies |
| Topic | Which is morally worse? The Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution |
| Romes187 10/18/18 2:29:54 PM #2 | Damn_Underscore posted... The Cultural Revolution (1966 - Mao's death in 1976) was basically Mao's attempt to gain influence again after the failure of the Great Leap Forward by removing any sign of capitalism from China. He claimed that bourgeois ideas had taken over society and the government, and the only way to fix this was through class revolution. cant wait til we get this in the US no no, its not shit policy...its capitalism! |

| Topic | I don't get contemporary art |
| Romes187 10/15/18 5:25:14 PM #1 | Went to look at some pieces...at the end there was the exit and another door that led to an open walled off area. I looked around and saw that there was a stack of bikes in one corner, a stroller in the middle, a grandfather clock at the far end and a few pictures hung on the walls. I had been pushing our stroller around and was kinda over it (wife was holding the kid) so I thought "Oh a nice place to put this while we look at the funny paintings". So I asked the guy if its a storage place and he said it was an exhibit to highlight the various ways in which our institutions oppress minorities. I guess the bikes and the strollers were from a police auction....the clock I'm still not sure of. And the pictures hanging were social security cards. I appreciated the guys passion for explaining it, but man. I wish we could go back to making things that are pretty :( the romantics had it all wrong! |
| Topic | The Gender studies hoax - fake papers passing peer review |
| Romes187 10/15/18 12:39:11 PM #50 | Doesn't matter what department this happens in...definitely hurts the whole peer review industry...not that it wasn't already hurting. I think I remember reading one of the papers was discussing potentially having privileged students talked over in class...and maybe chained to the seat (it was something strange like this) and the reviewer said they didn't think they went far enough in their recommendations.... I'll have to read up on this thing again. It's probably pretty rampant in all disciplines, but those based less on hard science are probably easier to sneak them in. |
| Topic | Study: It's better to be born rich than gifted |
| Romes187 10/14/18 1:29:26 PM #33 | Wait how do they define success What is "better" I guess If all you care about is material shit then yeah. But you don't need to be rich to have a family and enjoy a meaningful life. I mean you can't be poor obviously but I feel like we focus too much on being millionaires because if only we could get that money we'd be happy. Doesn't seem like that's the way it works in my mind...I know plenty of people with money who definitely arent happy with their lives. So at the very least, money isn't the only thing needed I guess... |

| Topic | Potential educators dumb down science more when trying to educate girls |
| Romes187 10/10/18 3:04:29 PM #65 | COVxy posted... Should it follow that people with celiac disease be taught science differently? I mean, they are biologically different, are they not? If the biological difference affects the way you learn then yes. But an equivalent biology would return an equivalent output And if we assume the way boys are taught is better, then it is audacious that we would teach boys and girls differently since biology is equivalent. |
| Topic | Potential educators dumb down science more when trying to educate girls |
| Romes187 10/10/18 2:42:21 PM #62 | COVxy posted... No one has said anything about them being biologically the same, and that assumption clearly isn't needed for the argumentation. not that it necessarily follows, but that it should follow. "Ought". But only if there are known biological differences. Since there are none, I am arguing they ought to be taught the same as what is good for one biology is good for an equal biology. |
