@Catboi well said

2020-02-28 02:43:44 UTC  

<@!580935683082813443> how is it solipsism. Expand on that.

2020-02-28 02:44:04 UTC  

I've already conceded there are excpetions, and that there is literally no "average" person

2020-02-28 02:44:09 UTC  

it's a statistical construct

2020-02-28 02:44:25 UTC

2020-02-28 02:44:31 UTC  

People aren't really people until I've decided, another way of thinking you define your own personal universe

2020-02-28 02:45:10 UTC  

To act like that construct of "average" can tell you nothing about what you're likely to encounter in the world is deliberate stupidity

2020-02-28 02:45:21 UTC  

@randomNPCno3 You misunderstand me. People are NEVER individuals at any point. Individuality is a feeling not a reality.

2020-02-28 02:45:57 UTC  

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but then again ***WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY***

2020-02-28 02:46:26 UTC  

we do live in a society

2020-02-28 02:46:49 UTC  

@Catboi Ists a little hyperbolic, but I do that to make a point. The way he thinks about "individuals" is 100% wrong and doesn't exist.

2020-02-28 02:47:11 UTC  

As if he wouldn't run if he saw some thugged out dudes following him down the street

2020-02-28 02:47:19 UTC

2020-02-28 02:47:30 UTC  

I already said this a long time ago

2020-02-28 02:47:34 UTC  

he makes these declarations

2020-02-28 02:47:40 UTC  

but it's not how he actually lives his real life

2020-02-28 02:47:47 UTC  

it's like the Antinatalists

2020-02-28 02:47:54 UTC  

And how would you know that

2020-02-28 02:48:13 UTC  

They say how life isn't worth living, and how we'll suffer more than have pleasure or any kind of gratification...and yet they don't commit suicide

2020-02-28 02:48:33 UTC  

Because you'd be a disabled autistic person who couldn't function

2020-02-28 02:48:37 UTC  

Which I suppose is possible

2020-02-28 02:48:45 UTC  

are you an autistic libertarian on welfare?

2020-02-28 02:49:00 UTC  

No, and I have work in a few hours

2020-02-28 02:49:03 UTC  

It's conversations like this that made me where I am politically today.

2020-02-28 02:49:42 UTC  

This shit is dogma for so many people. You'll never convince them with argument.

2020-02-28 02:49:46 UTC  

I dunno it's NAXALT over and over

2020-02-28 02:49:52 UTC  

and hten he says NAXALT is supported by data

2020-02-28 02:49:58 UTC  

which I still haven't had explained

2020-02-28 02:50:15 UTC  

He says there's virtually no differences between pepole

2020-02-28 02:50:18 UTC  

it's all environmental

2020-02-28 02:50:24 UTC  

but he DOES believe in race

2020-02-28 02:50:28 UTC  

don't get that one either

2020-02-28 02:50:37 UTC  

You eventually learn that a jackboot to the throat is a far better teacher than 1000 credit hours of biology.

2020-02-28 02:51:10 UTC  

It's funny he brought up making people smarter, because he'd probably be smarter if he hadn't gone through the education system

2020-02-28 02:51:18 UTC  

I was thinking about that talking to him

2020-02-28 02:51:37 UTC  

how do libertarians that deny race and group differences explain the group differences between "merit"

2020-02-28 02:51:46 UTC  

weird how the same groups seem to be doing well everywhere in the world

2020-02-28 02:51:55 UTC  

and the same groups seem to be failing everywhere in the world

2020-02-28 02:52:12 UTC  

Weird...

2020-02-28 02:52:21 UTC  

*W E I R D*

2020-02-28 02:52:30 UTC  

because they were raised with the same ethics that the rest of white america was raised with
i.e. being a racist is the worst thing in the entire world
