One thing I find amazing is that people seem to be completely disconnected from reality. They seem to think everyone on earth died, but that didn't happen.
The propaganda says it's raining out, but the sun is shining. But some people are so badly traumatized they keep yelling at us that we're gonna get wet if we take one step outside.

Our government is evil, and those who support it are evil, whether they realize it or not.
Perfect redditor question where you can just ask your son or husband, but no we should ask a bunch of random strangers on the Internet.
But for the record, goddamn right I loved sticks when I was a kid. I'm a goddamn homonid.

The master and his emissary by Iain McGilchrist is a good work discussing the disconnect between the two ways of thinking in the human mind.
You can't unsee it in the end, that intuitive truth can be different than the autistic tabulation and verification of data. The latter is important, but the human brain doesn't thrive on it.
And one isn't more intellectual than the other, even though the one might seem that way.
One way the enlightenment project arguably failed is that it was so focused on what you could mathematically prove that that it refuses to countenance any truth that couldn't be enumerated that way.

You gotta drain the swamp by firing every bureaucrat on day 1. Then replace them with nothing. Then eliminate the income tax. Everyone will be paying their fair share of 0
Lol "your sacrifices to moloch make me proud. Let us sacrifice our entire future for power and success today!" He said before finishing a delicious stem cell tequila mix drink
I like sfo, but he's a perfect example of someone who is wrong about shit.
If I gotta hate people for being wrong about shit, I've got to hate myself first because I was wrong for a long time about a lot of things.

If this is a government school, the sort of government school that kids have to go to by law unless they're being homeschooled, that's a hangin'.
I don't even care about what it's about. Make it a Russian flag or Ukrainian flag or an Israeli flag or Palestinian flag I don't care, that's a hangin'.

Even if that were true that they did, I don't know what to do with that information.
I mean, there's a lot of famous people I might pay to see naked, but he's one of the ones I'd pay not to see naked.

Honestly, anyone who knows about Haiti knew he was right about it. The only people for whom it was a surprise are people who don't know anything about what's going on beyond their own borders.
Anyone who says that they have nothing to hide hasn't thought about it hard enough.
I'm sure most of them have at least one detail about their lives that they would like to keep from at least one other person in their lives. Maybe they would like to prefer to keep their porn searches out of their mother's mailbox, or maybe there's a private conversation between two people that would really make their lives difficult if it got out. Not to mention, standards change -- you're telling me that 20 years ago you never said anything, not one thing that could be taken is wrong now, that you've never had one stupid idea in your head that you've put pen to paper it about?
I mean it's possible, but I don't really believe it. The only person who could possibly be so perfect is a person who's never done anything.

I believe in the United Kingdom right now 60% of GDP is government spending.
More money is being spent by government and by the rest of the economy combined, and some good old boy with a couple buckets of paint has to go fix up the signs because there's no money.

There is more than one culture on Earth. You can be many places around the world and while they may not completely agree with the specifics, there are some general agreements on what is good and what is evil. In most places, murdering an innocent person is considered wrong for example. Many if not most places have something approximating property rights, virtually everyone has some sort of familial ties and community ties.
In the graysonian ethic in one chapter I consider a creature that is nothing like humans, and it becomes immediately apparent that a creature that is nothing like a human would not share any of our values, whereas a creature that is like a human would likely share many of our values because the fundamental stuff that we are ends up shaping what we would consider to be values to uphold...
There are always going to be different values at all, survival of the self versus survival of the community or the family for example. Freedom from rules versus protection of rules. The rights and responsibilities and duties of one person and where they intersect with the rights and responsibilities and duties of another person...
