More random slurs

 "Zero tolerance for criminals"


Typical conservative talk


I agree!!


But... What about criminals in suits and ties with lots of money?


The premature death of a "celebrity" may be regrettable, but it's also regrettable that there are people so socially and economically privileged, especially if they have the audacity to speak publicly about the supposed privileges of those far less privileged than themselves and how much they supposedly suffered while alive...


Even though prejudice based on identity or nature can be very painful, not having enough to eat or living in financial insecurity is an even more visceral suffering that hinders the fullness of life. Furthermore, a wealthy person who suffers negative discrimination can still compensate with their privileges...


The problem with mourning the death of a famous person is that, for most, it consists of mourning the loss of a person they never knew, who often left no objectively good social contributions, and who is also associated with offering condolences as a matter of privilege, making it clear that certain lives are supposedly more worthy of collective commotion than others...


The politically correct "left" confuses compassion with pity.


The "leftists" loves to justify his great intolerance of differing opinions with the rule of "not being tolerant of the intolerant..." but intolerance is much more justifiable when it comes to a fool, which is precisely what they tend to be...


An unmistakable trait of stupidity is the chronic inability to avoid generalizing groups. Precisely what "left-wing" (and also "right-wing") identitarians do most...


Regulated and restricted immigration is like drinking in moderation, and mass immigration is like alcoholism...


Many of those who most believe in and desire the application of eugenics, usually conservatives, if they truly understood what it would entail, especially if eugenics' main goal were to elevate human rationality, would fight to keep humanity as stupid as possible...


Besides the "pathological altruists" and those ignorant on the topic, among those who position themselves as completely opposed to any practice of eugenics, there are also those who have a personal interest in it, such as those with antisocial personality disorders... if they tend to prefer dysfunctional societies in which they disguise themselves better and consider them a perfect environment for adaptation, also in the sense of being successful...


Being in a problematic situation does not necessarily make an individual problematic. If there are problematic individuals who are in stable and peaceful life situations...


There are those who many consider "dead weight," primarily because they are supported or "carried" by others, or who present a more apparent relationship of unilateral dependence. But there's also the "living weight," the one who, even if they contribute financially or are not more dependent in a relationship, also contributes negatively, in other ways and/or not enough...


"It's important to respect the president because he's an authority"


Or


"It's important to respect an authority because he's an authority"


Redundant arguments like this are never sufficient for a truly philosophical analysis...


It's possible to hate groups without necessarily generalizing all the individuals who associate with them.


There are only three ways to develop sympathy for more objectively problematic groups (with a disproportionate number of problematic individuals):


Self-identification

Distance

Or a fanciful idealism


Sometimes, the best way to understand people's beliefs is

by seeking to know who they are.


Why do geniuses tend to be lonely?


For two main reasons:


1. Because, by becoming obsessed with their most interesting topics, they tend to become less interesting as social figures.


2. Because this intellectual obsession tends to shape their ways of seeing and relating to the world, constructing a unique existential perspective that is difficult for others to access or understand. While the ideal for socialization is for an individual's existential perspective to be as generic as possible, very easy to relate to and align with.


Every living being has its own beliefs, not just humans. Belief, in its most primitive sense, is an echo of confirmation based on what one feels, perceives, and experiences.


If creativity is intelligence and rationality is also intelligence, what is intelligence?


As if everything is God, what is God?


If "everything" is more of an abstraction than an absolute fact.


The problem isn't necessarily reading little, but thinking and understanding little. And, in this sense, there are many who are avid readers, but also have a deficient capacity for philosophical-scientific understanding... Just like those individuals excessively biased to one side of the political-ideological spectrum who are more ignorant than knowledgeable on a range of topics, even or especially those who appear to have specialized.


The problem, a priori, is not that the humanities are 99% ideologically biased to the left or right, but that the truths corresponding to them are not...


The same applies to the arts. It doesn't matter if they're biased to the left, center, or right, but what does that mean (bad taste, excessive politicization...)


The biggest differences between individuals with high (120 or higher) and low IQs (90 or lower): the ability to memorize and rationalize personal beliefs, even the most irrational ones


The biggest difference between the most rational and the least rational individuals: the ability to understand reality, which is the most critical to intelligence


"I am totally against discrimination and segregation."


Say those ''self righteous'' people who are always discriminating and segregating themselves in ideologically homogeneous spaces of more intimate coexistence...


Ideological fanaticism can be as serious as untreated schizophrenia, because the individual subjected to this condition begins to experience and interpret reality in a completely distorted way, always biased towards their delusional beliefs...


Genuine self-knowledge is scientific self-knowledge, which is also philosophical, which means knowing one's own potential and, therefore, one's own limits.


A classic example of ideological self-knowledge, in the worst sense of the term, means being unaware of one's own limits, believing one has infinite potential.


The safest way to self-knowledge is to begin with one's own limits, and then understand one's own potential, if these are determined by the former.


"We change all the time."


Self-knowledge requires the discipline of a trained self-observation so as not to make the kind of vague or imprecise deductions, like the one above.


No, we don't change all the time, literally. Most people don't change significantly in the long term. And the minority who exhibit more notable behavioral changes very likely already had underlying factors, inherent in their own nature. For if there is a first rule of behavior, it could well be this: no tendency emerges or expresses itself without a predisposition, just as there is no middle without a beginning. And the origin of our behaviors lies within ourselves, in our most innate mental traits, and not in the external "environment," so to speak, a collection of multiple factors given this abstract name, very similar to the idea of a whole, nothing more than a sum of factors confined to an arbitrarily determined space.

*Disregarding exceptional cases of brain injury or other mainly external factors that cause personality/mental changes

Attempts to universally extrapolate one's own experiences or life trajectories, as if they were possible examples in any other personal context, seem to tend to be based on seemingly less complex examples, especially in more challenging contexts. An example of a very common fallacy of thought...


The right to free association or self-segregation is also, especially, the right not to be forced to live with those who don't know how to live with them...


Claiming "anti-racist" these days (the 2020s) has progressively become an identification that expresses a lack of scientific and even moral (philosophical) understanding of related topics: race, behavior, society... rather than just a political-ideological inclination, much less a morally superior inclination, if the most fair judgment is never possible based on lies.


Just as, especially for a woman, who identifies as a feminist, has ceased to signify just a political position, much less a morally superior position, even by behaving like an inverted machismo, a widespread dehumanization of the male gender by many activist groups...


Still including within the fallacious term of "anti-racism" "anti-Semitism," anyone who is too biased to consider it in the way those most interested want it, as a thought crime, is as fanatical as those who passionately and uncritically declare themselves "anti-racists."


A person apparently endowed with high cognitive capacities who adopts "anti-racist" narratives, as well as other "identity" strands, is either suspected of doing so, perhaps benefiting from this position, or what is suspect is their rational level, that is, their epistemic level of rationality. But because it is tacitly irrational behavior, defending or relying on distortions of facts, what is already confirmed as a low level of instrumental rationality is not suspect...


Just as shame, if not more so.It's those fanatical individuals who clearly defend and/or rely on distortions of reality are the ones who act as apparent opponents of the fanaticism and influence of the first group. In both cases, the same question arises: are they more like madmen or cynics?


In absolute terms, no racial or ethnic group is superior to another, because no group is endowed with absolute uniformity of individuals, especially in terms of intellectual and moral behavior.


But in relative and historical terms, it is perfectly sensible to conclude that, yes, this hierarchy exists...


The paradox of labeling and moral behavior


The more you distance yourself from or condemn a label, the freer you feel to act in accordance with that same label, but through non-traditional or non-explicit means.


The same insufferable authoritarians who claim to be against any type of segregation are precisely those who most want to impose their unpleasant presence everywhere...


Every abstraction is arbitrary. A city, a concept, or a word. It's the same as giving form or limits to what doesn't exist, because it doesn't exist. It's the same as giving form and structure to the imagination.


A teacher's humanistic training doesn't mean they have to take on roles that aren't their primary competency, but rather that they at least master a minimum of legitimate knowledge about the sciences they deal with in their daily professional life. Therefore, ideally, teachers shouldn't be assigned other roles, such as that of psychologist/psychiatrist, but rather that they know how to psychologically and cognitively assess their students, so they can direct their teaching strategies. Or at least have a multidisciplinary team to support them.

Mais e mais/More and more

 "Idiotas" habitualmente confundem o tamanho do próprio ego com inteligência


Existe uma forte atração dos que se acham os mais racionais, sem de fato serem, pela suposta filosofia que é ensinada nas universidades

Em condições ideais, o filósofo deveria ser o médico particular de um organismo social, por ser o mais realista, mais proficiente em compreender o que se passa com esse ou com um organismo. Mas tem sido uma classe especial de açougueiros que tem ocupado essa posição tão importante 

Não é sempre que uma maior vigilância ou controle do estado ou governo sobre indivíduos que é imoral, tal como parecem afirmar duas obras literárias internacionalmente famosas, 1984 e Admirável Mundo Novo, se existem contextos ou situações individuais em que intervenções externas podem ser mais benéficas do que prejudiciais e se também existem contextos coletivos em que deixar indivíduos livres para agirem de acordo com as suas próprias consciências pode ou tende a ser mais prejudicial do que benéfico 

O mais louco ainda não é aquele típico exemplo de indivíduo sofrendo um ataque psicótico (sim, em um sentido de intensidade da loucura), mas aquele indivíduo que aparenta ser "normal", porém, não tem a mais remota ideia do quão ideologicamente doutrinado ou desvirtuado da razão ele está e passa boa parte de sua vida nesse nível muito baixo de autoconsciência/autoconhecimento (em um sentido de profundidade e constância da loucura)

Existe o mentiroso patológico que mente mais para si mesmo do que para os outros e o mentiroso patológico que mente mais para os outros do que para si mesmo. O primeiro é um desesperado que encontrou na mentira uma fonte de sobrevivência. O segundo é um inescrupuloso que também encontrou na mentira uma fonte de sobrevivência 

Para entender o que é o médico é preciso entender o que é a medicina. Já para entender o que é a arte é preciso entender o que é o artista 

Com frequência, a desatenção é mais uma questão de perspectiva do que de deficiência, especialmente quando existe um claro direcionamento de atenção ou compensação  

A ideologia individualista em curso hegemônico, especialmente no mundo ocidental, nos dá uma dimensão distorcida do quão extremista é, ou também o quão distantes de um ideal de equilíbrio entre coletivismo e individualismo estamos, nós, ocidentais, das primeiras décadas do século XXI.

Dois exemplos: o acesso facilitado a veículos, desde que se tenha dinheiro para essa aquisição e também associado a uma prova para habilitação da carteira de motorista. Sim, o capitalismo turbinando esse acesso... Mas está claro que existem muitos motoristas irresponsáveis que não deveriam ter livre acesso a esse bem ou direito. Se o critério mais importante fosse a capacidade de direção responsável... Mas está completamente normalizado que qualquer um com dinheiro e carteira pode dirigir e a aplicação de multas não costuma surtir efeitos preventivos ou corretivos vigorosos. Parece comum que se espere que o pior aconteça para suspender a habilitação 

Outro exemplo é o direito facilitado e universalizado de geração de descendência, diga-se, um direito muito antigo e, até então, natural. Pois a partir de um crescente conhecimento (cientificamente legítimo) sobre a influência predominante da genética ou da biologia no comportamento e no desenvolvimento humanos, primariamente com base na percepção de padrões hereditários que corroboram para uma confirmação do "hereditarianismo" (de predomínio da influência de características intrínsecas no comportamento e desenvolvimento), a ideia teórica de que qualquer casal pode ter a quantidade de filhos que desejar parece definitivamente absurda, tacitamente negligente. Mas, como vivemos em um mundo dominado por essa ideologia individualista e que, inclusive, se associa ao igualitarismo, outra ideologia grosseiramente destoante de uma análise ponderada ou factual, parece absurdo, no sentido de cruel, acreditar que a natalidade de uma pessoa ou casal possa se tornar assunto de domínio público ou de outros e não apenas dos diretamente envolvidos

A ideia individualista de que um indivíduo tem que ter total autonomia sobre suas ações e decisões é extremista. Mas não significa então que ele não tenha ou não possa ter direito a qualquer nível de autonomia

Aquele que pensa que é o mais livre geralmente está habituado aos seus próprios vícios. Já aquele que é visto como mais conformista ou menos livre geralmente está viciado aos seus próprios hábitos

Uma "teoria conspiratória" no mínimo divertida, baseada numa das "teorias conspiratórias" mais antigas, sobre judeus, é a de que a "esquerda" ocidental tem sido usada justamente pelos judeus mais etnocêntricos ou racistas, sedentos por poder e guiados por ódio e desejo de "vingança" em relação aos gentios brancos de origem europeia, usando-a como um meio para destruí-los, em outras palavras, aqueles que dizem lutar contra fascistas estariam, na verdade, colaborando, ignorantes, com fascistas/sionistas judeus em seus planos de dominação mundial... Metaforicamente, autodeclarados progressistas ocidentais seriam como o cavalo de madeira e os judeus sionistas como os gregos escondidos dentro do "presente" para a cidade de Tróia ou Ocidente//Mundo

A eugenia, em teoria, pode ser moral ou imoral, apesar de que, na prática, não tem sido moral ou "boa". A disgenia, na teoria e na prática, é sempre imoral ou "ruim"

É comum saber o conceito de uma palavra ou termo abstrato, mas de não saber aplicá-lo corretamente em contextos, geralmente resultado de uma intrusão ideológica (ou emotiva) durante o processo de contextualização 

Também é comum a adoção de conceitos estabelecidos de palavras ou termos abstratos sem qualquer análise ou uma crítica mais profunda 

Os judeus são uma prova cabal de que é possível um povo ser muito inteligente, mas excepcionalmente irracional. Tal como pelo fato de "terem"* dominado a civilização ocidental, especialmente suas principais potências e de, apesar disso, estarem na vanguarda de sua própria destruição, ao promoverem políticas insanas, como a imigração sem controle, com base em ideologias que visam eliminar as populações originais do mundo ocidental, tal como matar a galinha dos ovos de ouro, os maiores colaboradores pelo seu próprio sucesso, se comportando exatamente como espécies parasitas no reino natural, irreflexivamente objetivos 

*Primariamente, suas "elites"

Além de tudo isso, estão literalmente destruindo uma civilização grandiosa, como tem sido a ocidental, apesar de suas muitas imperfeições, tal como o seu histórico de crueldades globalizadas. Até caberia pensar se essa estupidez hedionda não poderia ser categorizada como um grande exemplo da lei de ouro da estupidez humana, definida pelo economista italiano Carlo Cipolla

Para flagrante de estupro, o mais justo seria, a priori, a prisão perpétua (sem direito à qualquer regalias, com direito à esterilização e à castração química ou física), e pena de morte em caso de estupro seguido de homicídio. Mas, dependendo do nível de crueldade e do estado da vítima, mesmo sem homicídio, também poderia ter a pena de morte como veredito. Já no caso de reação violenta com intenção homicida ou com a consumação desse ato por parte da vítima ou por outra pessoa que intervir favoravelmente à vítima, o ideal seria a ausência de punição (também para qualquer caso confirmado de auto defesa ou defesa de vulnerável)

Autodeclarados democráticos: "devemos sempre defender a democracia" 

Mas mesmo quando resulta em idiocracia?? Tal como pela substituição do mérito em processos avaliativos e seletivos para educação superior e mercado de trabalho por critérios não-objetivos ou potencialmente injustos, por raça ou sexo, por exemplo??

Boa parte da ilusão de uma doutrinação ideológica consiste em evitar que os doutrinados percebam o que realmente está acontecendo e que é óbvio ou fácil de perceber 

Ser gay e mais racional ou integralmente inteligente é uma certeza de solidão, romanticamente falando... 

Ser gay e mais racional é como se sentir um eterno intruso ou espião em espaços individuais e coletivos do espectro LGBT 

Quanto ao contexto político, a racionalidade está associada a uma maior flexibilidade de posicionamento. Por exemplo, votar na direita ou extrema direita em uma eleição pode ser mais sensato do que fazê-lo em outra. Ainda que, com as tendências de longo prazo no mundo ocidental, de piora nas relações sociais causadas justamente por políticas endossadas e impostas por partidos e ideologias de esquerda, está cada vez mais difícil apoiá-la integralmente 

O mais triste sobre a tal esquerda é que pega pautas sérias e parece que, só para vandalizá-las ou deslegitimá-las depois 

De uma maneira bem bruta de dizer, políticas de esquerda tendem a expressar racionalizações de inadequação ou inadaptação individual e/ou de grupos. É a política do "perdedor" que busca ocupar o lugar do "vencedor". Por outro lado, sem qualquer política ou perspectiva crítica à da situação, o mundo seria tão ou mais injusto, como foi por séculos. O problema é os da oposição só criticarem o poder por estarem excluídos do seu acesso ilimitado e não pela injustiça ou irracionalidade da desigualdade de acesso, ainda mais para os mais sensatos, os mais naturalmente aptos a exercerem funções de gerência social. Então, quando os outrora perdedores conseguem tomar o poder, tem sido só para ocuparem o espaço dos outrora vencedores, isto é, de um espaço de comando e também de opressão em potencial 

Na atualidade, a real política ou, o que de fato acontece no mundo, está predominantemente do lado da extrema direita, enquanto que tem restado, especialmente à centro-esquerda, as "fofocas" de dentro do sistema. É assim que tem acontecido no jogo político, quando um grupo ou certas ideias e verdades são excluídos dos discursos oficiais e outros amplamente adotados e endossados. O primeiro passa a  expressar (de maneira não-absoluta) a política real e o outro a se limitar às pequenas verdades ou inverdades dos "da situação", ainda mais que, historicamente, aqueles no poder têm abusado de mentiras para se perpetuarem no topo. 

Uma espécie de compensação para os que são excluídos 

"Foi encontrado uma correlação de 0,3 entre QI e filiação político-ideológica de esquerda..."

Exemplo fictício ainda que, possivelmente verdadeiro, só para ilustrar...

Ok, mas por que também não usar estatísticas em um formato típico, por exemplo, "foi encontrado que '30%' das pessoas que pontuaram acima da média em testes de QI (100 ou mais) em determinado estudo se declararam como progressistas ou de esquerda, se comparado com '15%' das que pontuaram abaixo da média"

Mesmo se não é todo professor que é arrogante e todo cientista que é humilde, o cientista sério, muito focado no seu trabalho, tem menos tempo para ser arrogante do que o professor. Além disso, o professor precisa estar sempre lidando com o meio social, ao contrário do cientista

O cristão acredita na volta de Jesus, assim como o esquerdista acredita que apenas a educação que irá milagrosamente desenvolver um país

O mais emocionalmente inteligente se assemelha mais ao menos emocionalmente inteligente do que àquele de inteligência emocional mediana, porque ambos tendem a priorizar a verdade ou, pelo menos, a sinceridade sobre o engano ou "mentiras brancas". Um, por ser demasiado sensível à verdade dentro de um contexto emotivo. O outro por ser demasiado insensível à mentira, especialmente à "bem intencionada'

O etnocentrismo irracional ou típico é um fenômeno psicossocial em que seus comportamentos mais comuns são: a defesa de indivíduos que cometem crimes hediondos apenas por pertencerem ao mesmo grupo étnico ou racial; a manipulação de  fatos considerados inconvenientes ao grupo étnico ou racial de pertencimento, ao invés de aceita-los; a responsabilização de outros grupos por pendengas coletivas do grupo de associação, diga-se, que também pode se manifestar por outros tipos ou categorias de coletivismo, por orientação sexual, sexo, ideologia... 

Um etnocentrismo racional se difere do irracional por não haver encobrimento ou racionalização de crimes cometidos por indivíduos da mesma raça ou etnia, manipulação de fatos considerados inconvenientes sobre o grupo de associação, enfim, por não haver ausência de autocrítica 

Nesse sentido, porque o coletivismo é uma tendência praticamente inevitável, de sempre acabarmos nos associando a grupos com os quais mais nos identificamos, o coletivismo racional é sempre aquele em que a autocrítica ao próprio grupo não se sobrepõe nem é insuficiente ao sentimento positivo de pertencimento, em outras palavras, sem acabar resultando em fanatismo ou preconceito, se pelo próprio grupo ou em relação aos outros.

Também, nesse sentido, indivíduos que estão associados a um grupo por biologia ou autodeclaração, mas são demasiadamente críticos ao mesmo, isto é, exageradamente, na verdade, seriam tipos tão irracionais quanto, só que devotos ao "auto ódio" (que também pode indicar incompatibilidades internas de grupo) 

O filósofo semanticalista (que enfatiza a palavra sobre o seu significado) e honesto é o mágico que cai no próprio truque 

Ofensa não é sempre sobre sinceridade (verdade subjetiva) ou sobre dizer a verdade (objetiva), pois também pode ser uma mentira (exagero ou invenção) 

Estado mínimo e mercado máximo também seria o mesmo que transformar uma sociedade em um conglomerado de empresas

Uma escolha individual é um assunto de domínio privado. Muitas escolhas individuais parecidas é um fenômeno social e, portanto, um assunto de domínio público 

O mais sábio tem o idealismo dos mais ingênuos e a sagacidade dos mais espertos

A diferença entre o mais racional e o mais fanático é que o primeiro defende a razão com convicção apaixonada enquanto que o segundo defende o seu fanatismo ideológico com a mesma paixão e que, erroneamente, tende a considerar como a verdadeira razão

Uma tentativa de conversa entre pessoas com perspectivas existenciais completamente distintas é tal como uma tentativa de comunicação entre espécies de planetas diferentes



"Idiots" habitually confuse the size of their ego with intelligence

There is a strong attraction for those who think they are the most rational, without actually being so, by the supposed philosophy that is taught in universities

Ideally, the philosopher should be the private doctor of a social organism, as he is the most realistic, most proficient in understanding what is happening with that or an organism. But it has been a special class of butchers who have occupied this important position

It is not always that greater surveillance or control by the state or government over individuals is immoral, as two internationally famous literary works, 1984 and Brave New World, seem to assert, if there are contexts or individual situations in which external interventions can be more beneficial than that harmful and whether there are also collective contexts in which leaving individuals free to act according to their own consciences can or tends to be more harmful than beneficial

The craziest thing is not that typical example of an individual suffering a psychotic attack (yes, in a sense of intensity of madness), but that individual who appears to be "normal", however, does not have the remotest idea of ​​how ideologically indoctrinated or distorted from reason, he is and spends a good part of his life at this very low level of self-awareness/self-knowledge (in a sense of depth and constancy of madness)

There is the pathological liar who lies more to himself than to others and the pathological liar who lies more to others than to himself. The first is a desperate person who found a source of survival in lies. The second is an unscrupulous person who also found a source of survival in lies.

To understand what a doctor is, you need to understand what medicine is. To understand what art is, you need to understand what the artist is.

Often, inattention is more a matter of perspective than deficiency, especially when there is a clear direction of attention or compensation.

The hegemonic individualist ideology, especially in the Western world, gives us a distorted dimension of how extremist it is, or also how far from an ideal balance between collectivism and individualism we, Westerners, are in the first decades of the 21st century.

Two examples: easier access to vehicles, as long as you have the money for this purchase and also associated with a test to obtain a driver's license. Yes, capitalism boosts this access... But it is clear that there are many irresponsible drivers who should not have free access to this good or right. If the most important criterion were the ability to drive responsibly... But it is completely normalized that anyone with money and a license can drive and the imposition of fines does not usually have strong preventive or corrective effects. It seems common to wait for the worst to happen to suspend the license.

Another example is the facilitated and universalized right to generate descendants, a very ancient and, until then, natural right. Because from a growing (scientifically legitimate) knowledge about the predominant influence of genetics or biology on human behavior and development, primarily based on the perception of hereditary patterns that corroborate the confirmation of "hereditarianism" (predominant influence of intrinsic characteristics in behavior and development), the theoretical idea that any couple can have as many children as they want seems definitely absurd, tacitly negligent. But, as we live in a world dominated by this individualistic ideology and which is even associated with egalitarianism, another ideology that is grossly deviated from a considered and factual analysis, it seems absurd, in the sense of cruel, to believe that the birth rate of a person or couple may become a matter of public domain or of others and not just those directly involved

The individualistic idea that an individual must have complete autonomy over their actions and decisions is extremist. But this does not mean that he does not or cannot have the right to any level of autonomy

Those who thinks are the freest are generally accustomed to their own vices. Those who are seen as more conformist or less free are generally addicted to their own habits.

An amusing "conspiracy theory", to say the least, based on one of the oldest "conspiracy theories" about Jews, is that the Western "left" has been used precisely by the most ethnocentric or racist Jews, thirsty for power and guided by hatred and desire for "revenge" towards White gentiles of European origin, using it as a means to destroy them, in other words, those who claim to fight against fascists would, in fact, be ignorantly collaborating with Jewish Fascists/Zionists intheir plans for world domination... Metaphorically, self-declared Western progressives would be like the wooden horse and the Zionist Jews like the Greeks hidden within the "gift" to the city of Troy or the West//World

Eugenics, in theory, can be moral or immoral, although in practice it has not been moral or "good". Dysgenics, in theory and practice, is always immoral or "bad"

It is common to know the concept of a word or abstract term, but not know how to apply it correctly in contexts, generally the result of an ideological (or emotional) intrusion during the contextualization process.

It is also common to adopt established concepts of abstract words or terms without any deeper analysis or criticism.

The Jews are clear proof that it is possible for a people to be very intelligent but exceptionally irrational. Such as the fact that they "have"* dominated Western civilization, especially its main powers, and despite this, they are at the forefront of their own destruction, by promoting insane policies, such as uncontrolled immigration, based on ideologies that aim to eliminate the original populations of the Western world, like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, the greatest contributors to their own success, behaving exactly like parasitic species in the natural realm, unreflexively objective

*Primarily, its "elites"

In addition to all this, they are literally destroying a great civilization, such as the Western one, despite its many imperfections, such as its history of globalized cruelties. One might even wonder if this hideous stupidity could not be categorized as a great example of the golden law of human stupidity, defined by the Italian economist Carlo Cipolla

For flagrant rape, the fairest option would be, a priori, life imprisonment (without the right to any benefits, following by sterilization and chemical or physical castration), and the death penalty in cases of rape followed by murder. But, depending on the level of cruelty and the condition of the victim, even without homicide, the death penalty could also be the verdict. In the case of a violent reaction with homicidal intent or with the completion of this act by the victim or by another person who intervenes in favor of the victim, the ideal would be the absence of punishment (also for any confirmed case of self-defense or defense of a vulnerable person)

Self-declared democratic: "we must always defend democracy"

But even when it results in idiocracy?? Such as replacing merit in evaluation and selection processes for higher education and the job market with non-objective or potentially unfair criteria, by race or sex, for example?

Much of the illusion of ideological indoctrination consists of preventing those being indoctrinated from realizing what is really happening and what is obvious or easy to understand.

Being gay and more rational or integrally intelligent is a certainty of loneliness, romantically speaking...

Being gay and more rational is like feeling an eternal intruder or spy in individual and collective spaces on the LGBT spectrum

As for the political context, rationality is associated with greater flexibility. For example, voting right or far right in one election may be more sensible than doing so in another. Even though, with the long-term trends in the Western world of worsening social relations caused precisely by policies endorsed and imposed by left-wing parties and ideologies, it is increasingly difficult to fully support it

The saddest thing about the so-called left is that it takes serious issues and it seems that, only to vandalize or delegitimize them later

In a very crude way of putting it, left-wing policies tend to express rationalizations of individual and/or group inadequacy or inadaptation. It is the politics of the "loser" that seeks to take the place of the "winner". On the other hand, without any policy or critical perspective on the situation, the world would be as or more unfair, as it has been for centuries. The problem is that those in the opposition only criticize power because they are excluded from its unlimited access and not because of the injustice or irrationality of unequal access, especially for the most sensible, those most naturally able to exercise social management functions. So, when the former losers manage to take power, it has only been to occupy the space of the former winners, that is, a space of command and also of potential oppression.

Currently, real politics, or what actually happens in the world, is predominantly on the side of the extreme right, while what remains, especially on the center-left, is "gossip" from within the system. This is how it has happened in the political game, when a group or certain ideas and truths are excluded from official narratives and others that are widely adopted and endorsed. The first starts to express (in a non-absolute way) the real policy and the other to limit itself to the
small truths or untruths from those "in the situation", especially since, historically, those in power have overusing lies to perpetuate themselves at the top.

A kind of compensation for those who are excluded

"A correlation of 0.3 was found between IQ and left-wing political-ideological affiliation..."

Fictional example although possibly true, just to illustrate...

Okay, but why not also use statistics in a typical format, for example, "'30%' of people who scored above average on IQ tests (100 or higher) in a given study were found to declare themselves as progressive or left, compared to '15%' of those who scored below average"

Even if not every teacher is arrogant and every scientist is humble, the serious scientist, very focused on his work, has less time to be arrogant than the teacher. Furthermore, the teacher needs to always be dealing with the social environment, unlike the scientist

The Christian believes in the return of Jesus, just as the Leftist believes that only education will miraculously develop a country

The most emotionally intelligent person is more similar to the less emotionally intelligent person than the person with average emotional intelligence, because both tend to prioritize the truth or, at least, sincerity over deception or "white lies." One, for being too sensitive to the truth within an emotional context. The other for being too insensitive to lies, especially "well-intentioned" ones

Irrational or typical ethnocentrism is a psychosocial phenomenon in which its most common behaviors are: the defense of individuals who commit heinous crimes just because they belong to the same ethnic or racial group; the manipulation of facts considered inconvenient to the ethnic or racial group of belonging, instead of accepting them; the holding for other groups responsibility for collective issues of the association group, so to speak, which can also be manifested by other types or categories of collectivism, by sexual orientation, gender, ideology...

Rational ethnocentrism differs from irrational ethnocentrism in that there is no cover-up or rationalization of crimes committed by individuals of the same race or ethnicity, manipulation of facts considered inconvenient about the association group, in short, there is no absence of self-criticism

In this sense, because collectivism is a practically inevitable tendency, in which we always end up associating ourselves with groups with which we identify most, rational collectivism is always one in which self-criticism of one's own group does not override nor is insufficient to the positive feeling of belonging. , in other words, without ending up resulting in fanaticism or prejudice, whether by the group itself or in relation to others.

Also, in this sense, individuals who are associated with a group by biology or self-declaration, but are too critical of it, that is, exaggeratedly, in fact, would be just as irrational types, but devoted to "self-hatred" (which can also indicate internal group incompatibilities)

The semanticalist philosopher (who emphasizes the word over its meaning) and honest is the magician who falls for his own trick

Offense is not always about sincerity (subjective truth) or about telling the truth (objective), as it can also be a lie (exaggeration or invention)

Minimum state and maximum market would also be the same as transforming a society into a conglomerate of companies

An individual choice is a private domain. Many similar individual choices is a social phenomenon and, therefore, a matter of public domain

The wisest has the idealism of the most naive and the sagacity of the cunning

The difference between the most rational and the most fanatical is that the first defends reason with passionate conviction while the second defends his ideological fanaticism with the same passion and which, mistakenly, he tends to consider as the true reason.

An attempt at conversation between people with completely different existential perspectives is just like an attempt at communication between species from different planets.

Another handful of modern heresies

1. For those who say they are "totally against eugenics", are they in favor of dysgenics?


If it is against the healthiest, most intelligent and/or sensible becoming the majority of a population, then is it for or indifferent if the opposite pattern happens?


2. From the food we eat, the neighborhood we live in or would like to live in, the people we live with, etc., etc., we are always trying to select what we consider to be best for us. Therefore, a good part of our choices could be considered, in a certain way, as "intentionally eugenic".


Even those who delude themselves into thinking that human beings are extremely moldable by their environment also seek to select people in their lives based on what they consider to be the best. Their biggest difference in relation to those who are not deluded about this is that they believe in an unlimited power of social engineering, of improving people through social interventions, a thought that is, in a certain way, "eugenic", instead of giving themselves defeated, accepting that differences in behavior and intelligence are more intrinsic and can only be "resolved" with the application of some legitimately eugenic mechanism of reproductive selection.


3. "The university has always been an environment of free thought and scrutiny of current common sense"


Reality: it was never literal or exactly like that... Quite the contrary, as it has also been the place where tyrannies of thought have been fostered, transmitted and imposed...


4. "Eugenics is unethical because it violates individual rights"


In fact, individualism, like collectivism, is extremist and radical and not sensible or considered, as many think, precisely because it gives total decision-making power to the individual, while the most balanced thing is that this power is shared and that this distribution is rationally mediated by context.


4.1 All extremism starts from the imposition of practically absolute rules, without exception


This is the case with individualism.


4.2 This individualist ideology seems to preach a kind of supremacy of the individual


As if their rights were sacred, even when they overlap with collective well-being or even in relation to their own well-being.


4.3 "We must treat people as individuals"


Also...


But we also need to treat each other based on the groups to which we belong or identify, since it is common for us to express, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, their behavioral tendencies.


There is no need to exclude one approach for another if they are complementary.


4.4 Still on the idea of a one-child policy or a limit of two children for people with proven low cognitive ability (with an average IQ of 90 or less/commented on in the previous list of thought crimes)


... access to sterilization would be facilitated and they could be encouraged with financial rewards, preferably lifelong compensation offered by the state.


5. Pathological lying is like a psychological reaction of escaping from reality, subconsciously preventing the individual from falling into a depressive state, acting as a psychiatric self-treatment of a "homeopathic" nature, in which an illness is treated with supposedly controlled doses of the same evil that causes it, a "little" of madness to avoid greater "madness", which would be depression.


Because ideological fanaticism, including religious fanaticism, would be a contextualized manifestation of pathological lying, of a predominant escape from reality, generated by the dominance of the subconscious over the conscious, that is, of non-homeopathic doses of irrationality.


6. The cultural left has defined itself as the defender of the arts, but...


... low quality or questionable music; doodles, paintings and installations devoid of complexity, realism or beauty; poems without rhythm, meaning or depth...


Defender of the arts, demeaning them???


7. Football fanaticism or "footballism" could be considered a specific and strong symptom of intellectual retardation, especially in men



8. There are those who see horizons but cannot see their own feet (excessive idealists)


And there are those who only see their own feet (excessive pragmatists)


9. The greatest enemy of the most rational is not the anti-intellectual, even if he is one of the most irrational types, but the pseudo-intellectual, precisely by pretending to be him, by disputing or occupying his space of voice and action


10. Much of politics is quackery. A handful of cults or sects posing as serious policies, as evidence-based measures and philosophical pondering


11. About the predator instinct


Why do animals of species X feel a great predatory attraction towards animals of species Y?


Perhaps, because they present constitutive aspects of their bodies and their brains (or nervous systems), products of evolution, which make them specifically and highly reactive to the individuals in question.


sa species, in a sense of predation.


And also because they shared the same ecological niche for a long time, which may have contributed to this specific reaction, just like our variation in taste for food.


12. The left, on average, is well intentioned, but stupid. The right, on average, is ill-intentioned, but smart


"Traditionally", right represents the predator (also the parasite) and left represents the prey. The predator, in nature, is smarter than the prey, which at least recognizes its own oppression


But there are also parasites and predators that are born from prey...


Our greatest tragedy, our heroes are not smarter than our executioners


12.1. The right tends to use honesty as a means to legalize evil. The left tends to use dishonesty to advance primary or seemingly compassion-based policies.


13. Intelligence and behavior are “non-physical” traits


But specific brain constitutions that reflect reactive or behavioral and perceptual or intelligence patterns are also "physical traits."


14. The difference in perception and understanding of objective reality between the most rational and the least is comparable to the difference between a human being and a non-human animal


15. The legitimate fool is not the one who does not know, but the one who does not know that he does not know.


16. About "reparations for African slavery"


"White people need to pay reparations to black people"


So, mixed race people who are "half black and half white" only have to pay half??


Poor white people also have to pay and even rich and middle class black people??


However, much of the blame for the social problems of black Africans and their descendants in the diaspora, such as poverty and crime, lies with "them" (those directly responsible), because, on average, they present intrinsic characteristics of behavior and intelligence that disadvantage them socially, even more so in complex societies. This is not an apology for racism, white supremacy or Nazism. It is just an important part of this reality that many, for ideological reasons, do not want to accept.


And the ideal would not be to "make amends for the supposed legacy of slavery", but to put an end once and for all to exorbitant social inequalities, which don't just affect black people.


16.1. "Racial quota systems are necessary, because they are mechanisms that seek to repair the effects of the 'legacy of slavery' and 'structural racism', factors responsible for the differences between whites and blacks"


Reality: racial quota systems are based on a "good" social pseudoscience, on the false idea of causality between abstract terms, such as 'legacy of slavery' or 'structural racism', and social and other differences between whites and blacks. Because the main factor responsible for these differences are the intrinsic and statistical differences in behavior and intelligence between ethnic-racial groups. In other words, if there is a disproportion of poor black people, it is not because they have supposedly been or continue to be socially excluded, but because the majority of them do not present psychological characteristics (such as prudence) and cognitive characteristics (high cognitive capacity) that favor them in the future. professional and economic sector. This means that, obviously, there are black people with favorable characteristics, as well as white people and other groups lacking them, if we are talking about statistical group variation.


Not that poverty is justified only by the intrinsic characteristics of individuals, because the imposition of low wages and high costs of living, in short, of arbitrary measures that complicate the lives of the working class, also plays an important role in perpetuating extreme social inequalities.


This does not mean that the evaluation and selection system for federal universities and/or public positions is completely meritorious, in the sense of being strictly based on evidence or the best approaches. That is why I have already proposed changes to it, particularly regarding the emphasis on the assessment of general knowledge, directing the focus to knowledge specific to the chosen area. I even believe that, following this change, there would be a natural increase, without the need for quotas, of students from other racial groups at universities and those hired in the public service.


Even so, it is a fallacy to believe that all professional and social fields need to present proportions of racial groups consistent with the national or local demographic composition, or more "balanced", if the most important thing is selection based on merit of ability, which is independent of this .


And as for social and racial differences, the biggest problem is not that there are few black dentists or lawyers or a majority of white dentists and lawyers, but that there are such large social differences, especially among people who are in great need, with income and assets. insufficient, even if they are hardworking and honest, and exaggeratedly well-off people.



17. 3 ways to say the same thing: from the most wrong to the most right


1. "All black people are violent" (explicit and therefore racist generalization)


2. "Black people are more likely to

  violent behaviors" (partial or vague and implicit generalization)


3. "There has been a statistical disproportion of black (men) involved in violent behavior" (emphasis on demographic/cutout, leaving no room for generalizations)


18. About changing the race of fictional characters in films and other artistic works due to ideological motivation


Self-declared progressive: "he's just a fictional character, who doesn't exist. What's the problem with changing his race??"


Me: "so if it's just a fictional character, why change his race??"


Self-declared progressive: "it is important that character Y is from race X and not from Y so that children of race X feel represented or identify themselves"


Me: "but if it's just a fictional character, why worry about his race or that children of race X won't feel represented if the character is of another race??"


Me: "We identify with animals and sea sponges in cartoons. Why think that children of race X wouldn't identify with a fictional character of race Y"??


19. "White lies" can be very cruel


Because if you say that an aesthetically "ugly" person is very beautiful, you can exacerbate their "ugliness" for yourself, for others involved, and for themselves. The ideal is to emphasize what the person stands out for positively and avoid exaggerations or "torn" compliments in relation to what they don't stand out for or what they do, but negatively.
