Cited by J. Peterson, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grNLfzFwPpg&t=712s K: have you actually watch the video in question? at no point in time does either person (and I have no idea who either one is) but at no point in time, do either one mention a study from the university of Toronto..... In ...

Re: WOKE and proud of it....
More interesting stuff. According to a U of Toronto study (2016), the following four factors were by far the strongest predictors of Wokism: 1. Low verbal intelligence -- the greatest predictor, by far. 2. Being female. 3. Having a female temperament (male gammas, presumably). 4. Having taken even ...

Re: thoughts before work....
so, let us try this.... if we were to base an ethical, moral on your words, on your actions, how would that work out? Are your words, matching with your actions? when I was much younger, there was a movie and the famous line out of that movie was this: ''Greed is good".... Now let us imagine a ...

Re: thoughts before work....
when hearing about the ills of America, the right always portrays liberal ideas, WOKE or CRT, as the problem.... but they are hardly the problem..... they are just ideas..... no, the problem is simple, the vast discrepancy between our words and our actions......our words say one thing and our action...

thoughts before work....
in thinking about it.... what is the point of education today? to train people to work, to get jobs... education is job training today...... and we, in being educated, get facts, the sun is 93 million miles from us... In America we have a president, a congress and a judicial system...... in our educ...

Re: on reaching utopia....
we have the concept of utopia... pretty clear.... a sacrifice of the present for the future..... now let us add in another concept.... that of the Enlightenment....... and what is Enlightenment? now in the eastern religion sense, but in the western sense.... of rethinking one's beliefs and values th...

Re: on reaching utopia....
I suggest that we rephrase this..... How is a person to find out who they are, who they were meant to be if, if they spend their entire lives being workers, producers and consumers? the very needs of our society/state prevents people from even seeking out their own personal needs... that need of see...

Re: on reaching utopia....
we see today, as we have seen for decades in both Europe and America, those who believe that the answer is to simply destroy the entire thing.... to smash all the ism's and ideologies that we have.... in my anarchists days, that too was my wish.... and the firm hope was that from the destruction of ...

on reaching utopia....
much of history has been a pursuit of a utopia of some sort....Christians for example, but also, Marxists, communists, and even capitalists..... The Marxist/communist utopia is the final solution, the ultimate creation of the ''Worker state" and capitalists find their utopia in everyone getting...

Re: intellectuals.....American style
and in further thought, the reason that we don't recognize literature or ART in America today is simple.... it is not doing, ART is nothing more than theory.... and America has no need for theory, no need for ART or literature or even museums... they are theories..... and according to the American m...

Re: intellectuals.....American style
quick, name two American intellectuals? of course, everyone is going to name Chomsky, but can anyone name a second intellectual? no, the fact is that intellectuals are forgotten in America today.... of no use and certainly not of any value to anyone.... America has for generations, been known to be ...

Re: God, country and guns... faith based religions
Now given these set of ''facts'', what changes or possibilities would I advocate for? and change is the name of the game.....
