The stats in there about child abuse are startling.

I'll check it, not a huge fan of the dude, but I follow him anyways

Do tell, Chet

He's obnoxious, but most brilliant people are, I think.

Yeah, I think some of it is based, but not sure that he does more good than harm

he's kind of toxic, easily meme-able

I dunno, *I'm* pretty brilliant but I'm not obnoxious!

now let me tell you my theory about how essential oils can replace vaccines

oh shit lol

🤣

on that note I'm going to go to bed, but I enjoyed the conversation

Sweet dreams, ~~comrade~~ friend

LOL

The book is about a "Psycho-Historian" where he regails the reader/listener with the results of his research into original source material from numerous cultures on the topic of child sexual abuse, and how that effected their mythologies and warlike character. It is nauseating.

I'm legit interested.

I'll check it

Thanks

Same, I'll add it to the list

G'night y'all

It's the differences in life that make the world more interesting!

Unless someone's Muslim

I had an "I'm not tolerant of intolerance" joke but I'm tired and forgot it 😴

They deleted all of my favorite emojis, so all I can say is "IKR?!"

<:DeusThonk:639264251688779786>

It's nice to visit my relatives in Slovokia because they'll say "We should kill every Muslim everywhere!" in a resturant, and everyone within earshot will cheer. 🍻

thank God

That makes me feel better

Stefan Molyneux is the only atheist that I admire. he has his priorities straight

He struggles with his Atheism, as do I. You should never trust anyone whose religion was not brought about by intense internal struggle. It's not faith if you just accept what was laid out in front of you as a child; that's submission; compliance.

I'm one of those atheists who thinks Church atrendance should be MANDATORY.

I think the Left was more rational and reasonable in the 1960's because their Intelligencia were getting their marching orders from the KGB, which while evil, was rational. If the Left is out of control, it is because they are not subject to any higher authority; no Pope of Socialist thought according to the Supreme Council. The result is chaos.

Do you go to Church then?

I'm going to use you guys as a sounding board for an idea I had

I was thinking you could separate intelligence into 2 broad categories
Practical and Intellectual
Practical is what you'd call street smarts and common sense, it's about working within the parameters of a system like our society
Where as intellectual is about trying to work outside those parameters
Practical intelligence is very grounded
Intellectual intelligence is what allows people dream big and innovate they can potentially expand the parameters but that comes at a risk, by losing the grounding of practical intelligence you start chasing the idea and forget about the parameters entirely and become purely theoretical there's when you get really impractical ideas like Socialism, they only work in theory because it doesn't work within our current parameters
