I suspect the operative word here is “easily”. He wants a woman loath to speak about sexual matters, or at least bring them up on her own initiative, coarsely or otherwise. Meaning he has all the sexual initiative—and thus sexual power.

How he thinks Africa never elicited societies not hunter-gatherer is beyond me. Kemet, Ethiopia, Mali, Kongo, Great Zimbabwe, Dahomey, and Benin are just the first ones to come to mind.

I just do not get the idea that qualia/emotions/love/whatever are emergent phenomena of brain activity neans that they are somehow not “real”.

That’s probably “not real” in the sense of “ephemeral”/“not eternal”. A sense of not being genuinely intrinsic, else they’d be static?

If there’s anything (besides wishful thinking and its ilk, anyway) that leads me to suspect spiritual qualities to the mind, it’s continuity of perception. I would expect that each cell in the brain has a Ship of Theseus situation as degraded elements are swapped out for fresh replacement materials, like other cells. However, if all the material eventually gets swapped out, then why does our perception remain unbroken? (I suppose it can be called a mystery of consciousness, or at least sapience.) Is there something that can’t be swapped out that’s doing central perception/reasoning?

If knowledge is overrated, then what value do you put on human sapience, contrasted with basal sentience?

Besides, loath as I am to jump to this point, exalting action qua action over knowledge is one of the more notable qualities of fascism, something I hope you at least try to avoid. There’s a list of what Eco calls ur-fascist precepts here: https://www.pegc.us/archive/Articles/eco_ur-fascism.pdf (They start at the bottom of p. 5.). See which ones you’ve taken in, and see what you can do to abjure them.

@Sadlycooper #91611

How interesting that you have no qualms about something as inherently vile as bullying. Do please explain which of the Seven Cardinal Virtues (Chastity—probably better understood as Anti-Materialism, as the Latin for Lust was Luxuria—Temperance, Justice, Fortitude, Hope, Charity, and Humility) it best maps to.

@Sadlycooper #91561

At least explain where you’re getting your statistics from. Make sure to point out which journals your information ultimately comes from, so we can check how they do with peer reviewing et al.

(And “girl”?! She’s 43! If that doesn’t classify her as a “woman”, what would?!)

@Sadlycooper #91529

No possibility of Chad Introverts, then?

You’ll have to explain why women would want to suffer, or at least have their happiness tainted by resignation, in the first place. Being able to withstand childbirth for the former, I suppose?

Besides, my best friend (lineage is basically half Polish, half Canadian French)? She married a very calm man (Hindi-American, by the way—and not short, despite the stereotype). I know he’s calm because she used that terminology to describe how one of her daughters takes after him. He’s a Baha’i (like her), and since sex equality is a major cornerstone of that faith’s philosophy, you can probably see how little use he has for subjugating her. Although from the few times we met, he probably didn’t need to know of Baha’i to be domination-averse.

So please, go on, explain why women are incapable of desiring anyone other than a ruthless dominator with bad cases of yang overdose beyond those descriptors. Humanity as a whole needs to partake more of yin, anyway.

@Sadlycooper #91435

Just to be sure, how many women have you befriended with no thought at the time of bedding them? Point being there is no reason why a relationship between a straight man and straight woman must have strands of eros, rather than be pure philia and/or agape. At least I hope that you don’t feel some urge to bed every comely woman you chance to see…

@Spacewyrm #91421

Better question—what do pornography actor skills entail? Most importantly, how much of the portfolio relates to foreplay and afterplay? How much of the portfolio is meant to induce laughter in one or both parties? Is anything languid in the portfolio? And so on.

John Lennox #fundie

@Passerby #91427

There’s a question of whether said creator is omniscient, obviously. Although you’re managing to call a question of whether sapience is inherently insane…

More than that, there might be a question of whether the kind of accord you imply should be possible can even appear with beings without omniscience. Every distinct being has a slightly different vantage point, after all, so they’ll have different information—the source of at-least-brief clashes, or at least uncertainty. Outside of a Hive Mind (read: no individuality), such schism et al. is guaranteed.

So there’s now a question of whether a creator who wanted their created beings to have full individuality and distinctiveness—to not be a Hive Mind—would have to be either insane of greatly flawed.

@Bastethotep #91395

I know I’m not fond of obliterative death (amnesiac afterlife/reincarnation included), yet I don’t see what part of “successive lives” needs a deity to be possible. Is it somehow inherently unnatural for the mind/soul (same thing, really) to move between universes with each “moult”? (And why is everyone looking at me like that?)

Never mind that from the viewpoint of the deity in question, what they do isn’t supernatural, just natural. Whether they deem us subnatural, though…

Edmund_Kemper #psycho #sexist

<@KeithInc.> #91394

I wouldn’t be surprised if they think sex is supposed to be “complicated masturbation”. Better still, orgasm without any effort on their part. Best way I can think of to explain why they like the idea of receiving oral sex (which they seem to value over genital-genital intercourse, now that I think of it), but not giving it.

(And you thought incels were lazy before…)

No book named something like “Endeavor Beta Horologii”? Hmph. It’s not as though a star needs a common name, not just an astronomical name, to potentially have life-amenable planets.

Probably, or at least claim they have to be taught how (preferably by a Norse/German-lineage man).

I really want to know how they can claim European culture (probably Germanic specifically, at that) is strictly superior to African cultures. How much does the former have that the latter does not? (Military technology doesn’t count.)

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #conspiracy #quack #ufo #fundie

Is there anything in existence that he doesn’t regard as a symbol for some spiritual thing? This is worse than how medieval Europe liked to view everything as referencing God’s eternal plan in some way (e.g. bestiaries insisting that pelicans and lions died shortly after birth, but are returned to life after three days).

Noob_master_slayer #dunning-kruger #sexist #wingnut

@Max_Baumann #91179

I have a feeling they think the “real” problem is that what we deem “toxic” is intrinsic to men, yet we “foolishly” insist on constraining them and making them feel “unmanly”, and that conjures suicidal impulses, the belief that they can’t be “complete men”. (Why death is preferable to not being a masculinity elemental is anyone’s guess.)

I’m not sure how Europeans don’t count as ethnic. You’ve got your Saxons, your Celts, your Iberians, your Franks, your Italians, your Norse, your Germans, your Slavs, your Hellenes, your Baltics, your Finns, your Cypriots, and whoever else I’m missing.

My best friend (Polish-lineage mother, French Canadian-lineage father) married a Hindi-American man (I haven’t thought to ask which parts of India are the main ancestry elements). Today is their daughters’ 13th birthday. “Well-adjusted” barely does justice to them.

Please try again.

And suddenly I’m interested in how acculturation determines which genders favor which suicide methods. My own suicidal flickers (that’s “flicker” as in “thought lasts for less than a second”, and I haven’t had one for months, so don’t worry that much) invariably involved seppuku, on account of my lifelong fascination with feudal Japan, and the implication of atonement (it’s never “life is so hard” that calls the flickers, but “how can I make up for my errors?”).

That said, I’m surprised men don’t go for soporific poisons (doesn’t get more painless than that!) more, since it’s possible to at least end up with drawn-out pain with the others.

They could at least explain how El discovered the nature of Good and Evil. Making him their direct author has the unpleasant side effect of making them not objective. They certainly end up subjective with respect to El.

Come to think of it, how do they see Chaotic Good in turn? I know LG and CG are far from certain to loathe each other, just be worried the other could do better (LG thinks CG could use better focus, CG thinks LG could stand to be less hidebound).

“The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother” (Proverbs 29:15).

Using Proverbs probably isn’t the best idea, considering that there are quite a few entries that flatly contradict each other. Judaism doesn’t treat it as authoritative, anyway, certainly not compared to the Torah. Besides, the rebuke can be enough; no need to drag the rod in.

What is this monster that is within your child? The Bible tells us why humanity has such a propensity to do evil. It is because “There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:18). If there is no fear of God, then there is no fear of the consequences of sin…there is no fear of Judgment Day or of eternal damnation in Hell.

Do you truly believe everyone yearns, in TVTropes-speak, To Create a Playground for Evil? What is the point, anyway, once you cut God out of the chain of logic? What joy does cruelty give that love and its ilk cannot?

I’d also like to know how getting an understanding of what Good and Evil entail—as in, what they entail without having to use God as a reference point—is supposed to create a malice elemental. (And no, disobedience and malice are not absolute synonyms. Have you perchance heard of Chaotic Good? Or Lawful Evil?) Certainly a question of how God avoids that fate from your perspective.

So, reject the world’s philosophy, and instead embrace the biblical viewpoint. Again, God’s Word says that there is none good. Not one. Your child isn’t good. He is like the rest of us. His heart is evil. Face the ugliness.

I don’t think there’s but one philosophy governing the world. Or Christendom, for that matter.

Besides, have you considered that Isaiah was using hyperbole?

He certainly has praise for the Chinese, as the reference to Qin Shi Huang attests. So it’s interesting that he’s summarily dismissing North Africans, even if that far away from the Kemetics and the (almost entirely Christian or Jewish) Ethiopians.

Christopher Newman #fundie #crackpot #dunning-kruger #pratt

Always the claim we’re trying to avoid accountability. But accountable for what? Avoiding vice/malice, or adhering to his instructions? They’re not the same thing, after all (q.v. Chaotic Good).

Tawdry? Anarchic? You’re not familiar with Songhai or Kongo, are you?

And note that the indigenous of this continent’s Pacific Northwest were genuinely anarchic. And…well…pacific. Hierarchy is not necessary to conjure peace and/or prosperity.

And how is multiculturalism supposed to destroy everything? Boundaries aren’t the only way to define something, and I doubt you’ll get absolute homogeneity from worldwide multiculturalism, anyway.

I really don’t get this insistence on blood-inherited culture. Do such ones think we’re literally and properly slaves of our ancestors? How are we supposed to create an entirely new culture, at least?

It wasn’t easy to tell how you were interpreting them, probably on account of my autism. That said, I know there are some women pursuing artificial wombs—not to interdict problems for would-be biological mothers with health issues, but because they see pregnancy as degrading et al. (e.g. Shulamith Firestone) I somehow doubt they and the incels would be too pleased to find themselves with common cause…

Vox Day #crackpot #fundie #racist #wingnut

Right now, I’m curious where he thinks civilization started, considering that at first, there would have been no civilized group to do the domestication. And that already has noxious implications of regarding civilization as inherently culturally imperialistic. (Note that unlike Derrick Jensen, John Zerzan, etc., he’s in support of this, not against.)

Qin Shi Huang was something of a scoundrel, anyway. I don’t know enough about Marius to judge on him, though, and I don’t think I’ve even heard Martel’s name.

Putting fascism’s need for an enemy to despise and wrack 24/7/52 aside (because I’m not sure the rank and file think that way all the time), what are they looking for?

“Tiamat” should probably be “Nammu”, anyway, as the Enuma Elish in part was Babylon variously vilifying and demoting Sumerian divinities in favor of Glorious(tm) Marduk. (Apsu’s name stayed the same, Geshtue became Qingu, and I have no idea whom Mummu’s analogue is.)
