Dogmatic thought, from any source, is usually an intellectual crutch and should be recognized as such even when being used for its basic function.

2019-09-26 22:07:05 UTC  

But the second you start talking about that which is unmeasurable - spirituality - then it's no longer about any form of hard science. At best, it's into the realm of philosophy, and any philosopher worth their textbook can prove damn near anything they like and twice on Sundays.

2019-09-26 22:09:17 UTC  

Yeah well that’s why I make sure to say things like “from what I know/understand”

2019-09-26 22:09:48 UTC  

good general policy

2019-09-26 22:09:54 UTC  

I won’t give that polite saying if they’re being a dick though

2019-09-26 22:10:04 UTC  

Then I’ll just be a dick back

2019-09-26 22:10:23 UTC  

Depends on how cooperative someone is, or if I know it to be fact

2019-09-26 22:11:26 UTC  

fair enough, and I tend to do the same

2019-09-26 22:12:11 UTC  
2019-09-26 22:12:26 UTC  

This video actually states things that I tend to base on who I work with etc

2019-09-26 22:12:30 UTC  

If I have a choice

2019-09-26 22:13:26 UTC  

Also there was this video from a guy called American krogan about why men like open world games

2019-09-26 22:13:46 UTC  

Now it sounds dumb to base how you interact with people off of this media

2019-09-26 22:13:58 UTC  

But I actually find it to be very true

2019-09-26 22:14:09 UTC  

And to me that’s all that matters

2019-09-26 22:14:17 UTC  

Not where I got the information just if it works

2019-09-26 22:14:24 UTC  

And is good at predicting stuff

2019-09-26 22:14:48 UTC  

Libertarians are good at predicting individual behavior but not really group dynamics other than the market

2019-09-26 22:14:57 UTC  

Both of those statements in that thumbnail require prejudicial presumptions. Disgusting.

2019-09-26 22:15:27 UTC  

That’s the point

2019-09-26 22:15:36 UTC  

He shows how “tribes” act and think

2019-09-26 22:15:53 UTC  

I get it because it's too on the nose to be intentionally serious

2019-09-26 22:15:57 UTC  

And how it can become toxic but also how useful it can be

2019-09-26 22:16:01 UTC  

and yeah that's a very good point to cover

2019-09-26 22:16:53 UTC  

Just, my instantaneous reaction to both of those statements, on their face, was:

2019-09-26 22:18:44 UTC  

I understand why people promote individualism, this guy clearly out lines why tribalism can be cancerous

2019-09-26 22:18:50 UTC  

You know on this server

2019-09-26 22:19:04 UTC  

And what they mean is individual and critical thinking

2019-09-26 22:19:11 UTC  

Freedom to do speak

2019-09-26 22:19:18 UTC  

Which I’m not against

2019-09-26 22:19:35 UTC  

However you can be a part of the same team and have those things

2019-09-26 22:20:00 UTC  

America’s constitution didn’t came out of nowhere, it came from the WASP settlers and their way of life

2019-09-26 22:20:17 UTC  

They were a part of the same team, they acted stupid sometimes

2019-09-26 22:20:34 UTC  

But still for the most part had freedom of association, religion, speech

2019-09-26 22:20:38 UTC  

Fair courts etc

2019-09-26 22:21:17 UTC  

Like people here I feel like are against people playing by their team

2019-09-26 22:21:23 UTC  

Anyway I gtg

2019-09-26 22:21:24 UTC  

Cya

2019-09-26 22:24:03 UTC  

have a good one

2019-09-26 22:52:38 UTC
