would they respond with mild censure

or would they be madder

it's really simple I think?

What is there to textually criticize about hte historiocity of the gospels?

okay, you're just not going to answer are you

suit yourself

Other than matthew, mark, luke, and john didn't write them?

and they didn't know jesus?

"It's all bullshit"

the critique doesn't have to be true or false.

Will such a thing ever catch on? I think it's a pretty big jump from even wearing such stuff

to actually implanting it in your body

I think it won't take

not as things currently stand at least

would any of you accede to such a device if let's say you were sure there was nothing shifty going on?

A few months ago I saw a common core question (language arts) asking students to write a paragraph supporting a new microchip implant. I think it may be more palatable in the future as it's already being normalized now.

Looking for the article now.

Really? Fascinating

I believe it was a part of the US Common Core curriculum. I could be mistaken though.

I can't find anything googling offhand, where did you encounter it?

I'll take your word for it but I'm curious

Ill find it - I'm equally curious where I saw it and the context.

@devolved I'm reading AnonCon

I'll paste a section as an example of where his worldview just falls apart, totally inconsistent

One worrying aspect is leftist r-strategists tend to have high creativity, perhaps as an outgrowth of an evolved drive to create and exploit alternative resource streams as a way of avoiding direct conflict. As a result leftists tend to operate in these fields, and exhibit some measure of competence.

So r-"strategists" tend to have higher creativity? Woudn't you expect higher creativity from K-selected populations that have to make do with limited resources or poor conditions?

this kind of incoherence pops up every time I see r/K stuff applied directly to liberal vs. conservative

Indeed

But would you say it works, loosely

That it's more true than not

no, I wouldn't, but I would say you can use it as a framework to understand other stuff

for example, the situation of black people in America and welfare

certainly you can make an argument that this is a population that is "r-selecting"

more false than not I would say

one more thing about AnonCon @devolved

he has this certain tone

"pssst, hey guy, yeah, you there"
