and thus the central tennent

you claimed i used confirmation bias earlier and now i throw it back at you, are you not reading in

This is not the same thing at all. You said most of the people you speak to where politcally inclined in a certain way. I said that was likely confirmation bias.

That is very different that saying "Generally in nations there is a certain attitude and zeitgeist that exists"

Richard Dawkins talked about this when he was talking about his definition of memetics.

oh no i meant the term confirmation bias, i get the "everyone i know votes the same as me, how could we lose" part of what i said

i wasnt comapring the two i was just also accusing you of it

when you say people are programmed a certain way

and im not overall disagreeing with the idea of a general zeitgeist just that it universally applies

you can break the conditioning

Zeitgeist means generally

nit picky 😛

theres more than one

I am off. This dicussion has become ridiculous. I am going to try to deal with something more sane like the TypeScript compiler.

hah

i thought a ride out to then go on a walk was fine

i think it depends on the constituency

here in the sw ive been told you can go to the beach as long as you walk

by a friend*

i went out for a ride today cos my car hadn't been used in over a week and the battery is fucked

but i wasn't retarded enough to use main roads, and didn't go that far

round here the checkpoints are mostly to stop people from the cities travelling down

Good. People from cities btfo

you can go for a drive

as it's social distancing

or isolating i should say

not according to some of the police

that's pretty dumb

the idea is that by letting them it encourages them and they'll start driving to beaches and parks and then be a risk

i think

yep

imagine you had to rule over a population, hopix, at least 50% of which were dumb as a box of fucken rocks and had absolutely no common sense at -all-

then you get broad, low-resolution, seemingly overbearing dictats and enforcement like this

i don't like it, but I can see why it's necessary

no common sense, or do they just choose to defy you

necessary is a perspective

yes
