A principal diferença entre doutrinação e educação

New daring
"Ridiculous (expensive) branded clothes and accessories"
For capitalism to work, there always needs to be a sucker;
A misfit is not the same as a sick person;
The cowardly "right", but also any kind of very soft opposition, sugarcoats the pill so much to criticize the "left", that it ends up swallowing the pill
Since the conservative "right" lost its cultural hegemony to the identitarian-bourgeois "left" in the Western world, "right-wing wimps" have become increasingly common, types that come to partially endorse the predominant beliefs and thoughts (which turn into behaviors) typical of the other side, as a reflection of ideological submission to the current holders of power, via culture//morality, in turn induced by a more deep-rooted impetus, of this group, to adapt to the environment. Some examples: "defending a country (Israel) and a people (Jews) in a completely uncritical manner, that is, the same "people" (without generalizing) that have led the structural destitution of conservatism in the core of Western culture...; endorsing so-called "progressive" beliefs, such as denying the existence of human races and, along with that, endorsing "anti-racist fallacies" ("whites cannot suffer racism"; "blacks are always the victims"; "being in favor of preserving human races and ethnicities is racism"...)
The cowardice of the "left": talking about "white racism", "white supremacy" or "Nazism", today (2025), disregarding the real "Nazism" perpetrated against the Palestinian people. Because doing so is the same as "kicking a dead dog"...
It seems that the "left" is not "holding the Palestinian hand" enough...
The most literal aspect of emotional maturity is the ability to recognize one's own limits and mistakes, and to seek to improve or, at least, not worsen in what is lacking
When a massacre occurs against an innocent people (like the Palestinians) and the "world" remains silent (or is silenced by those who took it over), it is inevitable to reach the conclusion that nothing or very little has changed morally in human society since the first civilizations...
Political corruption is, first and foremost, political, and not economic or financial. Therefore, it is, first and foremost, ideological and moral. Its clearest example is the imposition of an ideological indoctrination (always based on lies) as a political method
It is common for there to be a big difference between thinking and being
About a big difference between the most rational and the most emotional:
The most rational can separate their personal life from the objective and impartial truths that they accumulate and absorb, while the most emotional tends to confuse them
As a result, a truth can become offensive and therefore falsifiable to the latter, while the former learns to control his most primitive impulse of wanting to adulterate his perception of reality so that it fits his emotional demands
Irrational people tend to literalize what is abstract. Religion itself is exactly about this literalization. Of treating as real what is not seen, not known, in fact...
Of despicable people
Spirits of pigs: superficial, selfish creatures, ignorant of everything that matters most in life, a more traditional type of pervert, of course it is the "right" that is most full
Of the most perverse...
...are those who use kindness to achieve shady goals
It is the feeling that the belief one adopts is false that also contributes to reinforcing the belief itself
If Christians were mostly kind, every country with a Christian majority would be the materialization of paradise on earth. But...
Perfection, in in its pure state, does not exist. Harmony is the only possible perfection
Certain defeatists typically believe that the systematic and political application of reason is an absolute impossibility, also because they are only projecting their own prevailing irrationalities, that is, justifying themselves in advance
But it may also be because they have adopted a mistaken, excessively idealistic concept of reason
In this case, the realism of knowing that the full application of reason is a probable practical impossibility is no better than the idealism of believing, even with all the evidence corroborating the most realistic and pessimistic scenario, because it helps to not abandon reason as a guide for life, even though it is also recommended to be realistic
Belief is what one believes in and which may or may not be a fact
It is not prejudice, when it is correlativism
It is not prejudice, often, it is stupidophobia
The correlation between toxic masculinity and limited intelligence is not a parallel correlate. Toxic masculinity, as a specific expression of narcissism, is also an expression of irrationality or stupidity in its most qualitative aspect
"Scientists cannot have an ideological bias"
But every serious scientist should have a philosophical bias (which leads/to a scientific bias)
The academy should select based on two criteria: technical or specific competence and philosophical or the ability to understand and adhere to the principles or values of science, such as objectivity and impartiality
Idealism is more a question of distance than perfectionism
The weight of others may be an entirely personal issue, but it is also entirely a health issue
About that classic comparison between a random Nigerian individual and a Norwegian as an argument for the denial of the existence of human races: "a pure-race black Nigerian may be more genetically similar to a pure-race white Norwegian than to another Nigerian of the same racial status..."
A type of fallacy?? Of biased or biased comparison??
Like comparing, genetically, two individuals based on traits or aspects that are not relevant for a certain comparison, to convey a relativist idea of insufficient difference??
The identitarian "left" is a combination of the morality of the Care Bears (in the belief that evil is fought with love) and Power Rangers (in which they take the lead in the fight against evil, in which they treat all their opponents as monsters and in which they have an obsessive belief in "representation").
Why does civilization cause intellectual dysgeny?
And how can it be solved? It is not necessarily or only the relative comfort of a civilized society that reduces the selective pressure for intelligence, in its purest state, of the search for knowledge and its systematic application, but also because, in an environment that does not offer immediate dangers to life, this selection becomes more optional or is diverted to functions more secondarily related to intelligence, such as social adaptation. So, if the more complex a society becomes, the less directly necessary intelligence becomes in its purest state, as a solution to this problem, it would be necessary to create artificial means to promote the fertility of the most (genuinely) rational individuals. However, the problem of negative selection of rational intelligence in complex societies seems much deeper or more difficult to fully combat and resolve, given the enormous power of human irrationality throughout our history...
Human beings are the only animals that have evolved their intelligence to its purest state, of factual perception or the search for knowledge, considering it as an end in itself and not only or solely as a means to an end.
Rational intelligence is basically the application of emotional intelligence to intellectual matters
Naivety is a very undervalued type of stupidity
Anyone who sincerely or deeply believes in the current "identity activism" of the "left" suffers from a pathological naivety (a type of stupidity)
This seems to be the case for many white people
And then there are those who tacitly adopt this belief system for completely personal reasons, for social favoritism and also as an emotional crutch that ratifies their narcissistic tendencies
This seems to be the case for many black people
... Because, if the "leftist" doctrine preaches self-flagellation in the first group, it preaches the opposite for the second
The ease and historical and practical constancy with which a majority of "white" people are convinced or indoctrinated about fallacies and lies is literal proof that the so-called white supremacy has been limited to a minority of European Caucasians. From the belief in talking snakes to the dogma of absolute human equality...
"Self-knowledge is always wonderful"
Those who really don't know what self-knowledge means say: understanding one's own limits or knowing how limited one really is...

"Roupas e acessórios ridículos de marca (caros)"
"Tudo é ideologia"/"Everything is ideology"
Essa é a desculpa favorita dos que sempre defendem pela parcialidade ideológica que se alinha com suas próprias crenças, especialmente se for uma parcialidade à "esquerda". No entanto, ideologia não é sinônimo de parcialidade, se tratando de algo extremamente básico ao pensamento humano, essencialmente ideológico, que sempre se baseia em crenças, ideias, e que também podem ser verdades ou fatos... Então, acreditar que todo pensamento humano está fadado a uma parcialidade absoluta é precipitado, na melhor das hipóteses, e suspeito, na pior delas. Além disso, também está ignorando que a filosofia, ou "amor à sabedoria", e a ciência, também são ideologias, as mais importantes de todas, porque nos ajudam a entender melhor o mundo em que vivemos, quando bem desenvolvidas... E que o amor ao conhecimento, que se traduz, na prática, como a sua busca, só pode ser instrumentalmente possível pela objetividade e pela imparcialidade, ou pelo menos o máximo que podemos conseguir, de neutralização de expectativas e sentimentos pessoais durante esse processo de construção de conhecimento e, portanto, de compreensão.
This is the favorite excuse of those who always defend ideological bias that aligns with their own beliefs, especially if it is a bias towards the "left". However, ideology is not synonymous with bias, as it is something extremely basic to human thought, essentially ideological, which is always based on beliefs, ideas, and which can also be truths or facts... So, believing that all human thought is doomed to absolute bias is hasty, at best, and suspicious, at worst. Furthermore, it also ignores the fact that philosophy, or "love of wisdom", and science, are also ideologies, the most important of all, because they help us to better understand the world we live in, when well developed... And that the love of knowledge, which translates, in practice, as its search, can only be instrumentally possible through objectivity and impartiality, or at least the maximum we can achieve, of neutralizing personal expectations and feelings during this process of building knowledge and, therefore, understanding.
On the more "right-wing" interpretation of the fictional romance between Rose and Jack from the film Titanic (1997)
The original synopsis of the fictional romance in James Cameron's film Titanic (1997) is about Rose, a young Englishwoman from the "elite" and the fiancée of an American industrialist, who falls in love with Jack, a talented but poor artist, during the tragic maiden voyage of the Titanic in April 1912; how she never forgot her love for him, many years after the ship sank and Jack's death. It is a simple but no less impactful love story that has moved and continues to move many people since the film was released. However, in recent years, a more "right-wing" interpretation of this romance has emerged, let's say, in which Rose is characterized as a spoiled young woman from the "elite" who falls in love with an unemployed bum, and is ungrateful because she does not reciprocate the "love" (toxic feeling of possession) of her rich fiancé; who keeps for herself a valuable jewel that she received from her ex-fiancé, and who, instead of donating it to charity, one night, when she returns to the place where the Titanic sank, on the Canadian coast, throws it into the sea. Not to mention the contempt she would feel for the man who lived with her all her life. So, Rose's nonconformity regarding the hypocrisy of the social environment in which she lived is reclassified as a defect and not a virtue of character; her love for Jack as impulsiveness and recklessness; her sentimental attachment to that jewel, her only memory of her great love, as selfishness, and the fact that she was unable to nurture the same affection for her ex-fiancé and her husband as ingratitude.
Yes! This is what some people have been thinking about this fictional novel, and it is not limited to it, since this impoverished emotional understanding seems to be the modus operandi of those who only think about money, status... and treat feelings, such as genuine love and friendship, without material interests, with coldness or suspicion. And that, even in relation to a fiction, they cannot understand or accept that there are people who sincerely fall in love with others, or who maintain true bonds of good feelings without greater pretensions, who do not treat life only as obligations, rules, rankings and accumulation of "wealth".
Furthermore, it is also a somewhat hypocritical interpretation, when dealing with people who tend to put money or material wealth above life, and who, if they had possession of a very expensive piece of jewelry, it is very likely that they would use it for themselves.
Sobre a interpretação mais "à direita" do romance fictício entre Rose e Jack do filme Titanic (1997)
A sinopse original do romance fictício do filme de James Cameron, Titanic (1997), se trata de Rose, uma jovem inglesa de "elite" e noiva de um industrial americano, que se apaixona por Jack, um artista talentoso, mas sem eira nem beira, durante a viagem inaugural e trágica do navio Titanic, em abril de 1912; de como ela nunca se esqueceu do seu amor por ele, muitos anos depois do naufrágio do navio e da morte de Jack. É uma história de amor simples, mas não menos impactante, que emocionou e ainda emociona muita gente desde o lançamento do filme. No entanto, nos últimos anos, surgiu uma interpretação, digamos, mais "à direita", sobre esse romance, em que Rose é caracterizada como uma jovem mimada de "elite" que se apaixona por um desempregado vagabundo, e ingrata, por não corresponder ao "amor" (sentimento tóxico de posse) de seu noivo rico; que guarda para si uma jóia de alto valor que ganhou de seu ex noivo, e que ao invés de doa-la para a caridade, em um certa noite, quando retorna ao local onde o navio Titanic afundou, na costa canadense, joga essa jóia no mar. Sem falar do desprezo que sentiria pelo homem que viveu com ela por toda sua vida. Então, o inconformismo de Rose em relação à hipocrisia do ambiente social em que vivia é reclassificado como um defeito e não uma virtude de caráter; seu amor por Jack como impulsividade e imprudência; o seu apego sentimental por aquela jóia, sua única lembrança que guarda do seu grande amor, como egoísmo, e o fato de não ter conseguido nutrir o mesmo afeto pelo seu ex noivo e pelo seu marido como ingratidão.
A hypothetical example of how many people do not understand the relationship between culture and human behavior
What if all the rules of Japanese culture (including even learning the language) were imposed on Brazilians who are being born now, from their first years of life???
Would they become "culturally Japanese"??
Depending on which Brazilians we are talking about, it is likely that there would be a variable cultural change. And, in general, it is also likely that non-significant changes would occur. Therefore, yes, the environment influences human behavior. But this influence is not absolute or predominant. First, for there to be a reaction of adherence to a certain social or environmental pressure, there must always be a predisposition, so it is safe to say that no behavior is possible without an underlying (biological) possibility or potential. Second, the generation of Brazilians who were subjected to this experiment is unlikely to replicate the typical behaviors of the Japanese, or of the original culture, since we are dealing with two distinct populations, cognitively and psychologically. So, even if the cultural bases were the same, the average and most intrinsic characteristics of the two populations would contribute to altering the final result, in the sense that the "culturally Japaneseized" Brazilians would not become exact copies of the original Japanese and, even though we are dealing with such distinct populations, another type of culture, more intermediate, but also more possibly closer to Brazilian culture than to Japanese, would emerge... But this is not what many people think, since they believe precisely in the determinism of culture or the environment (a flat-eartherism of behavior) and not of biology, that, if a certain population receives a certain education, it, for the most part, will behave completely accordingly, believing that the differences between an average Japanese and an average Brazilian are only cultural and not that they are reflections of their most intrinsic behavioral dispositions and also that, in the same way that Brazilians can be fully educated like Japanese, the opposite would also be possible, another type of flat-eartherism of behavior, of the indefinite or infinite adaptive plasticity of the human being, as if our psychological and cognitive limits/potentials were completely alterable or surmountable.
