Is it a good idea to embrace pederasty because it's part of different cultures?

having a section of a city that is under sharia law is not a strong city. but forcing everyone to be Christian isn't a strength either.

Imagine if you have a goal, the goal is to win a math competition. One team has nothing but mathematicians. The other team has a cook, a carpenter, a telemarketer, a pizza delivery man, etc. Who do you think is more likely to reach the goal?

there needs to be something unifying. otherwise it doesn't matter if you have someone who can fit in the hole if they refuse to go through the hole

exactly. in genetics, the unifying force is life.

Tucker's argument wasn't that everyone needs to be the same; Tucker's argument was that there needs to be some common basis around which a functional society can be formed. Some minimum agreed upon cultural norms.

everyone in a country should at least speak 1 language. you can speak more but everyone needs to speak 1.

for example

well, i would say the goal changes and that's what I asked earlier. mentioning chaos in a box. What's the box?

In western cultures that is generally democratic participation in governance, separation of church and state, assumption of innocence, unbiased disinterested courts, rule-of-law, etc

Sharia law, for example, is fundamentally incompatible with western civilization.

an emphasis on individual rights too?

Not sure that's really the case anymore...and that's where ppl have a problem with diversity.

the west isn't very western currently

its like post-western

they don't know what the box is, what the goal is, what the foundation is. Diversity can only be a strength when there is a commonality.

in his genetic example. Change the species, you have a cat and a dog. Is that diversity a strength?

do we need people who are diseased and dying? is that a strength? i mean, you are not diverse if you don't have failed genes along with surviving ones

If we want to continue the analogy of genetic diversity, eventually you get to the point where there is so much diversity within a gene pool that speciation happens and interbreeding stops being possible.

So, like I said. I agree diversity can be a strenght, but I disagree that it must be.

Agreed.

legal immigration is a way of ensuring diversity that is a strength

but thats wasict

ok, ima watch the rest now, maybe he covers these points in what i haven't watched.

then again, its racist to say you don't want your daughter to be raped if the local rape gang is known to be muslim

and i mean known...to the police known.

if you're still watching the Tucker video, I think that's most of the point Tim made.

Are you in the UK, Grenade123?

his fault is assuming that Tucker wasn't making the same point

and no, why?

Oh, that comment about the rape gang known to the police sounds like something people talk about concerning the UK.

This is perhaps another formulation of the paradox of tolerance.

i watch sargon

lol

Ah, ok.

but that was more or less the joke

saying you are afraid of your daughter being raped becomes racist and therefore "bad" if the perp is Muslim. which is ridiculous .

What's going on the UK is bonkers. Somewhere they went off the god damn rails.

when you are so afraid of being called racist, you stop going after criminals, you have lost your way

So @Timcast brings up the difference between legitimate and illegitimate authority in his banned books video today. I'd like you to reconsider the anarchist position on authority, Tim -- because even by your definition you acknowledge that authority is not something held by a person over another, but rather a deferment by a person to another they think is authoritative.

well if you think that law is our commonality, I would agree.
