several points of exception and I too will let it rest
"here's the deal, if you dont like it then i have some friendly bombs "
I would phrase it a tad differently:
'here's the deal, if you don’t like it then I have some big and deadly bombs'
"It's irresponsable to have power and using it without judgement."
I quite agree, but again would place the emphasis differently:
'It's irresponsible to have power and forswear its use'
"You sound like airspirit , but nicer."
lol, don't think you'll find anyone here who thinks I'm 'nice'
appreciate the levity
"when you dont like what you hear, you dismiss it with some obscure reason"
no
demonstrated non-performance is not obscure (except to diplomats of course)
"We're not animals, and we're not fatalists and we're not controlled by impulses"
oh my, 3 assertions = 3 errors
we certainly ARE animals, I submit Africa as the example exemplar
anyone not a fatalist is in denial - or immortal
to what do you ascribe the success of television if not "controlled by impulses" ?
the impulsive nature of our "control" really merits a few more words
are you familiar with the huge increases in the performance of thoroughbred racehorses in the last 200 years ?
-> think it was the (uncontrolled) 'impulses' of the stallions that caused such ?
now consider intelligence (as you wish to define it):
intelligence is HIGHLY heritable, which is to say that the inverse, stupidity (used in its correct sense) is also highly heritable
- so we can easily understand that the incidence of stupidity can be hugely reduced
you getting there yet ?
so if we were to CONTROL our "impulses", we could 'cure' stupidity
what is the collective response of the human race to this knowledge ?
- we continue to breed like stupid fu*king rabbits
I had the good fortune of knowing a wonderful Polish refugee, a PhD
- and so was every single member of her family for the previous 3 generations
smart ? ohhh yes (knocked my fat head off !)
truly amazing; but alas, a max of 2 children/couple
- can't compete with the stupid rabbits that way
you see what you wish to,
I see a privileged few - and for most this world is a brutal place
needs improvement ? sure, but intellectual sophistries won't cut it
gonna have to ACT
