The woke mind virus is the biggest threat to civlization

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Not exactly loathesome, like a depraved sex fiend, but just sort of creepily stomach-churning in a way that is unsettling and hard to pinpoint. Odd, because they think of themselves as being so wonderful (or appear to)--perhaps that's the problem...

Humans in general are mostly unlikeable...it's just like they are stone cold dead behind the eyes. They're kind of like there is no one home while at the same time the light is very much on and blinding everything else out of existence.

Sorry, just my sarcastic sense of humour ... :wink:
Do you keep chickens?
Actually, most people are pretty neutral, not really unlikeable or likeable (at least on the surface anyway). You can tell a lot about the character of a person by the way they vote, which is probably why it's considered 'off limits' to talk about politics in polite company :lol:
There is something fundamentally nasty about anyone who votes at all because they believe if they belong to the biggest gang they can choose to do whatever they like to everyone else.

In the 40s, 50s, and 60, violence in the home, and at school was pretty normal.
Bullying and routine thuggery was an everyday experience. Violence was everywhere. On TV with war films, Cowboys and indians, killing each other and babies were brought up on routinely violent cartoons in which they learned that violence was an effective way to get what you want and solve problems.
When you left school it was also normal to accept military service and to sign up, or accept the call when the draft papers landed on the doorstep.
In the home domestic violence was so common place that police would turn away peas for help because they were “just domestic”.
And it was perfectly legal for a man to rape his wife, Until 1991 in the UK - I’m pretty sure this right still exists in many places in the world.

The late 60s was a time of big changes in which ordinary people began to challenge the norms imposed by the establishment.

An idea grew that teaching children that violence was normal was one of the ways the the establishment kept a long line of willing dupes for cannon fodder.

Following the drop on TV violence for children, violence in schools also dropped so much that the teaching profession was able to end their reliance on corporal punishment.

Now you try and tell me that wokism is the biggest threat to civilisation and you want to be taken seriously?

What is even more laughable is that you don't even know what it is.

:lol: :lol:

In my view it is politically correct to expect a woman to be safe from rape in her own home.
In my view it probably does no harm if children are not daily fed a diet of violence.
You are missing the bigger picture as per.

The ''mind'' is the crux of all humanities problems.

Aka the idea I have a self that is in control and has a handle on things as to knowing what's going on in the world. In reality, there's just life and life is war. :lol:

Elon Musks quote is just another ..one of an infinite amount of expressions of what war looks like.

If we continue to be at war with each other through the pathways that is the world wide web of internet social media then that's our biggest threat to human civilisation as we know it.

People cannot be trusted...full stop... That has nothing to do with PC...it's all about risk ...the risk we take allowing other people into our lives..including our own children.

Watching Tom and Jerry or playing violent video games does not make one violent. Violence only comes into play when one is feeling threatened by another...and that's the risk we take when we share our lives with others...it's the law of the jungle...it's called the law of war.

It's no wonder your present as such a thicko.

Learning is what we do if we want to become literate...literacy helps us get jobs and become useful in serving other peoples needs.

But I haven't got the faintest idea what this has to do with the violence of life. :roll:

What kind of a moronic arse-hat thinks that twitterati imbecilic wokism is the same thing as positive progress in social evolution? That calling men women and insisting that everyone else do the same 'or else' is equivalent to not sending children 'down the mines,' or not having public hangings, or no longer 'owning' your wife and children and being allowed to rape them...? How is fascist thought-policing positive in any way? How is it OK to use children as political tools instead of educating them and teaching them how to think critically and scientifically? How is destroying free speech 'positive progress', or dividing people up into separate groups, SOME of which are NOT to be 'offended' in any way (according to the strict rules of the 'language of woke'--which is little more than a collection of stock insults and emojis) a step forward, or anything other than divisive, destructive, oppressive bullshit? Social evolution was coming along nicely until the internet got hijacked by self righteous, evangelical, shallow morons.

What woke means in reality clearly has no bearing on what you think it means.

Always. However much this world detests individualists, they never initiate or participate in wars.

All I know is that being your true self or even speaking the truth is almost illegal these days in this cancel culture.

I mean even the mere mention of the word WOKE is seen as being racist and or bigoted. It’s almost dangerous to have an opinion about anything without offending someone somewhere.

Just be real…not fake as though you are trying to be someone you are not. We are now living in a society where it’s okay to assault someone who jokes about your wife and then gets rewarded for their behaviour with an Oscar.

Nothing makes any sense regarding human interaction anymore. The worlds gone nuts as Piers Morgan puts it.

Unfortunately, just as wokism has hijacked 'the left', the right has hijacked anti-wokism. The American obsession with politicising everything based on how you vote has fucked everything up. People have become too stupid and shallow to use logic and reason, so they just resort to lumping everything into two boxes, when the world is a lot more complex than that.

Devout wokists get into a frenzy at the merest hint of criticism towards islam, yet those same anonymous 'tweeters' are perfectly happy for muslims to be blown up in their own countries, even proudly displaying their red poppies and 'lest we forget' vomit on their social media pages to show how much they approve of the mass murder of people for the 'crime' of being from another country (especially one with useful resources).
The wokist movement sustains itself with nothing more than mass brain-washing and intimidation. It was evil when the Nazis did it and it's still evil.

Heck, even Obama, with his Nobel Peace Prize, went on to bombard Libya, Syria and Afghanistan and became the best friend of the USA’s war machine.

No the problem is just with your personal confusion.
It's called progress old fuckers like you are just being left behind.
Sorry you can no longer beat up your wife nor can you burn N*g*e*s on flaming crosses!
