Moderation Questions

N. was a falied, grotesque loser of a man, that didn't inspire almost anything of what i think and write. And the most outrageous and in-famous takes (those that in some ways inspired nazism at least a bit) come from his sister actually.

That he might have come up with some reasonable conclusions based on his thinking among the lot of crap he wrote, i don't care about too much, especially given that roman philosophers had it nailed already a while before N. came around.

It's uncontroversial that intelligence and many other talents are at least partially inheritable, and with proper care about who you marry with across generations that can accumulate.

Truly incredible you deny that intelligent people have over average intelligence children, are we at this point for real? keep in mind even a few points of IQ every generation given capital (and family culture) is accumulable make an exceptionally massive difference.

And ofc it's not only IQ. It's willpower, it's frequency and propensity for mental illness, it's being able to delay gratification and so on and on. And ofc (today that matters less) it's resistance to diseases and the like as well.

Western history. And it’s anachronistic to project our modern concept of evolution and genetics on the past, so I call bullshit.

And Luciom is quite stupid for falling for that crap from Christians trying to portray morality as a particularly Christian thing. Actually Christian morality is quite contemptible, because if God tells you to rape, genocide, kill your baby, etc then it is supposedly the objectively morally correct thing to do.

Yes Jesus the man had some nice teachings that modern Christians mostly ignore.

And that's christianity in a nutshell. It's not universal. And wokism/leftistm is the latest variant of christianity.

A religion based on the singular idea we are shitty disgusting evil critters that have to be forgiven by the omnipotent benevolent god. Do you realize the "original sin" got co-opted with whiteness/capitalism/patriarchy for wokes right?

"all whites are inherently racists" say the woke, identically to the priest telling the flock they are all sinner, BUT THERE IS A CHANCE if you behave like the clerics do , to atone.

Paganesim (and some greek.roman philosophies) has no fear of human nature. No disgust for any of our pulsions. You have to learn to tame them and control them at times at most, but nothing you feel or desire is inherently wrong. You can have pride, you can take what you are able to, and play the game of life to win without shame or hypocrisy.

We aren't all equal, there is no reason to think we are, you can play 0 sum games without shame and win and the losers can go **** themselves. Inequality thus is the moral condition of human societies, and doing your best to acquire and preserve privilege (=advantanges over others) is not only ok, it's actually ACTIVELY MORAL.

you’re actually spazzing out

Morality is a soul thing. Christianity, through Jesus, has been the best at speaking to reality which includes the soul.

Leftists have taken and weaponized the moral conscience that Christians have developed for the purpose of cultural revolution.

They’re just too ignorant to realize the culture they represent isn’t an improvement.

Not really. If I was inclined to substance dualism or metaphysical idealism I would be a Platonist or some kind of Eastern philosophy.

Actually Jesus was the best at applied ethics, not metaethics. He called out mob mentality and over-focusing on genetics over inherent value of all.

Humble yourself.

Another teenage argument.

"Intelligent" people on average earn more money and have more time to spend educating their children, who on average go to better schools too. Attributing their success to genes is really very shallow of you.

This word is in the same ballpark as re****. Do you, a person on the "left", really want to use spastics as a way of insulting people?

First I've ever heard of this. Seems pretty niche

This is all just crazy talk.

Have you ever met a person in real life who has been diagnosed as a spaz?

Americans are decades behind.

I dunno, I never connected spaz with spasctic.

I also never considered spastic as a slur and hadn't ever heard the word spastic specifically to describe people with cerebral palsy, despite going to school for many years with a kid who had cerebral palsy.

If spastic is a slur again neurological disorders then "spastic colon" is quite possibly the most offensive term in the english language. Its difficult for me to consolidate

Not round here it isn't. It could get you in trouble with HR.

Tbf you probably shouldn't be calling people spastic colons. Not positive it might turn out to be hilarious if used correctly.

“Humble yourself” says the guy who has made multiple posts insinuating he’s a prophet lmao

I am at a point in my life where by default I don’t care when the left says I’m using a slur. You guys lost all credibility on that when you introduced terms like latinx and mysoginoir.

You think you would be able to tell the difference?

You think because you took some philosophy courses in university that you’re in a position to evaluate Jesus?

You’re deluded, so humble yourself. Just like I did when I was younger.

I’ve never heard of mysoginoir. Latinx doesn’t figure large here because we don’t have nearly as many people from Latin America as you for obvious reasons.

You sometimes show very little understanding of the actual left. What youre talking about is libs.

This is a self-defeating argument. We’re both evaluating Jesus. You evaluated one way I evaluated another way.

I’m reacting to your lack of skepticism toward your evaluation to the point where you feel comfortable enough sharing it with others. Not based in rational argument.

spastic is a slur in italian (spastico), it generally means you are a re-tard but for physical things (terrible at sports, lacking basic dexterity, horribly clumsy).

Spazzing comes from that from the 50s but i don't expect people to know that tbh

I know you disagree with the notion that present day radical leftism is a religion. Can we let that stay? i mean you disagree, i am fundamentally convinced it is, we waste time re-arguing the same topic over and over.

Deal?

Self-defeating argument part 2
