Complete bullshit....Most people never apply for military service especially those with high IQ's who pursue other careers....It is also bullshit to assume people with a low IQ are not productive!!!

People with the lowest IQs could
still work in sheltered workshops.

With a 5% unemployment rate that would mean 5% of those with an average to low IQ are either in sheltered workshops or are unproductive....Bullshit....People with an average to low IQ do most of the productive work self entitled arse holes consider below them!!!

The Grappler has an IQ greater than 1197 out of 1200 ... that has to scare you.

He was a military man - that has to scare you even more.

You're wrong about something, and so (I believe) is Peterson.

The US military has done some of the longest and most exhaustive research on IQ, and while they don't need to heavily weight their organisation with people in the highest bands, they still need them, would still have studied and understand them.

Could you imagine the intelligence required to be the Capt of a nuke sub? Plus, there would be information sharing with research for space program recruitment.

You're also wrong about people with high IQs not joining the military. Some do it because they have a call to serve, others do it as a good way to get tertiary education paid for.

Now to Peterson. I reckon the reason the Military doesn't take people from the bottom bands of intelligence is they simply don't need to and have enough recruits to select from.

Without a doubt, the military are looking for people like that to work in data/ intelligence.  But would you want someone like that who has to be a reliable fast communicator and team member?

In Africa?

Notice the smartest countries are the Asian ones?
IQ 105 or higher on average in China and Japan.
Australia is below average just like the Yanks only 98.

Poor nutrition  and environmental influences skew IQ statistics considerably.  I also suspect the higher IQ scores of some Asian countries is due to higher educational expectations.

There is a correlation between average IQ and the risk of contracting infectious diseases. The reason being (apparently) developmentally the brain and the immune system compete for energy. High pathogenic loads and the contraction of diseases focuses the body's energy on the immune system at the cost of neural development.

You only say that because you do not understand what he is saying.  No, actually you are not even listening to what he is saying. If you listened and understood and then disagreed, you would have articulated your reasons.  But you do not listen, but if you did you wouldn't understand, but if you did understand you couldn't  say where he went wrong in his thinking, but if you could say that, you couldn't articulate your better idea.

You are a mindless ijit at so many levels!

I've listened to many of his spiels. Just more mindless dribble from someone who thinks no one will notice his contradicting himself at every stop. Lets face it, he thinks he is smarter than everyone so everyone should just mindlessly agree with him ... although,. to be fair, he does have a lot of morons who give him cause to come to that conclusion  ... just like you.

Er... you are not actually addressing anything he said, nor do you say where he got it wrong. Why? You do not understand any of it. You are a moron with zero ability to actually comprehend and then counter any argument. Like Bwian.

You would die before you could actually articulate where Petersen goes wrong. You just splutter like some joke De Niro moron, angry, inarticulate, resentful, barely suppressed.

I have found that a good proportion of the most successful people that I know are not very smart and also a largish portion of the smartest people I know are not very successful in monitory or business terms.

To be a success you only need to be good at one thing but being strong at everything seldom works the same way.

You dont like his views because they lead to conclusions which conflict with your views on race, unfortunately his views are based on information which is well researched and accurate. At least 10 percent of people are a drain on society due to low IQ, thats just a fact. It is a fact that non white people for whatever reasons make up most of that 10 percent.

You dont like his views because they lead to conclusions which conflict with your views on race, unfortunately his views are based on information which is well researched and accurate.

his views on what exactly? I've seen many of his videos over the years so which one are you referring to? What I don't like is his hypocrisy, irrespective of his views.

i haven't memorized his speeches. I tend to forget what he said 3 minutes after he said it, I find him that boring. I saw several of his rants over the years and was never impressed by anything he said. He's an over educated idiot. Sure he's well spoken, but he's an idiot nonetheless.  The one thing that stuck with me was his hypocrisy. One instance that comes to mind he was going on and on about how the left like to label people and how it's such a bad thing and we shouldn't do it ... and throughout the whole spiel he was labeling the left every disparaging label he could think off  .... so what? using labels is only bad when the left do it? the guys a dickhead and I just don't like him. He appeals to a certain group and between themselves they all tell each other how great they are. Not for me.

To be a success you only need to be good at one thing but being strong at everything seldom works the same way.


Now we're getting to the variables. "Smart"; "drain" in what ways?
Top MPs drain out the pork barrels. Top finance companies defraud customers and say they don't know what "wrong" means.  Corrupt developers damage the landscape and so on.

Have you ever read 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'? He's the Phaedrus character.

Like Phaedrus in the novel, there's the Pirsig pre-hospitalisation for psychosis and the Pirsig post-hospitalisation (when he wrote the book)... Peterson's at the early phase of Pirsig's post-hospitalisation and getting better at finding his feet.

Perhaps not so much stupid as utterly unprepared for the realities of modern industrial war.

Running down the Dervishes at Omdurman is not quite the same as tangling with the Germans.  In WW II a LRDG bloke said:- "If you haven't fought against the Germans, you don't understand war."

BTW - the LRDG was more successful at deep penetration raids than Stirling's SAS, but suffered badly when attached to Jellicoe's commando group.

Sure.

You still need to articulate your disagreement if you want to be taken seriously. Morons dismiss what they don't  grasp. Intelligent people articulate their counter-arguments.

I love intelligent dissent. That is the only point of discourse.

Its not about me at all.

It relates to people I know and have known. it is fact. One of the dumbest guys I know - really good guy but not smart has more money than you could count No that's wrong he has over $10. More seriously many millions. Another guy real smart - won sale of the century smart but 3 years later was sleeping in the street. Doing ok now but never going to be wealthy. Most of the smartest people I know work ordinary jobs for average wages.

When I say wealthy I am referring to people who could lose a Million and not really notice. From this group I would say that 7 out of 10 would be average intellect at best. Success is more about drive and works best with a narrow focus. Smart people are just not like that in general. Plenty of exceptions of course.

Jordan Peterson speaks some poo but that's the biggest load of it i've seen yet.

So very much wrong with it. From the military representing a true reflection of society to 1 in 10 people being untrainable. Society simply doesn't bear that out.

But the most relevant point is .... newsflash, IQ tests aren't worth the paper their printed on. There are just too many factors at play to give an accurate assessment of ... and let's face it, this is what Peterson is saying ... of someone's worth upon a test that has too many variables to be truly representative.

Load of horseshit. No wonder you buy it, Rhino. You buy all sorts of whackadoodle stuff, like Eugenics.

You dont like his views because they lead to conclusions which conflict with your views on race, unfortunately his views are based on information which is well researched and accurate. At least 10 percent of people are a drain on society due to low IQ, thats just a fact. It is a fact that non white people for whatever reasons make up most of that 10 percent.



Hilarious. His views are not backed by facts. They're never backed by facts. That's the entire problem with him. He cherry picks segments of facts, tailors them to his own devices and preaches them to idiots to whom they serve as exquisite confirmation bias. They never question them, they just resonate with them.

The4 facts of the matter are that 10% of the population are not useless. TO suggest otherwise is lunacy.

Firstly, you'd have to accept that IQ tests are worth a damn. Not many do anymore. Other than to be applied in the broadest possible way.

Allow me to repeat myself, directly to you, Frank old boy:

IQ tests are bullshit. the army is not a microcosm representative of wider society  and 10% of the population is demonstrably not useless.

He didn't actually say anything else. He usually doesn't say much. Just cites studies to sound supported. It fools his followers into think he's actually informed.

When inside an echo chamber, one doesn't require too much reference.

Just went back and watched it again and yes, he argues that the military is as complex as society at large.

Upon this, he rests his case.

I'm not even kidding.

Complex. His word.

And thus, as the military has no "use" for these people, how could society?

And there are people here who bought this poo? You should hang your heads in shame.

IQ tests are bullshit.  Yep - been saying the same thing for aeons..... any d1ck who figures I have an IQ of 150+ up to the stratosphere has to be balmy...

Mind you, high IQ is no guarantor of anything solid by way of results......... just saying...

BTW - he is just brainstorming, not offering some dissertation... you know... kind of like the feminist idea that the whole world would run better if men were locked up, the useless ones culled at birth, and the few prime specimens kept in cages for breeding purposes only...

You know... kind of like the Indigenous wanting to run the whole country their way 'cause they own it or burn it all to the ground...

It's just a passing thought, you know.. nothing to be taken seriously in its proper context of solid study backed up by facts and figures and research ..... (ho, ho, ho).

Let's face it - you could not point to ANYTHING he said that was a 'mindless dribble' . Nothing. You are too stupid and incomprehending.

Give us one example of 'mindless dribble'. Go on, articulate.



You won't because you can't. YOU ARE the mindless dribbler.

Have cannoli. Have two.

It's OK to not like Peterson... As the movie line goes... 'Beethoven had his critics too'.

Sure.

You still need to articulate your disagreement if you want to be taken seriously. Morons dismiss what they don't  grasp. Intelligent people articulate their counter-arguments.

I love intelligent dissent. That is the only point of discourse.



Why? You either love a Van Gogh or you hate it. What's to figure?



Ah - life is an art form..... who'd 've thunk it!!

Apparently it seems there is something in IQ (despite anomalies)... It is the best indicator of mental capacity (when it can be reasonably measured), but it must be factored alongside the so-called 'big five' 'OCEAN' personality traits:

Openness (with sub-categories: openness to new experience and intellect)
Conscientiousness (industriousness and orderliness)
Extroversion (Enthusiasm and assertiveness)
Agreeability (Compassion and politeness)
Neuroticism (Withdrawal and volatility).

A person who is average to below average in successfully measurable IQ but high in conscientiousness, is likely to succeed above the average.

However, if someone is very high in successfully measurable IQ and very high in conscientiousness is likely to succeed towards the top 1%.

The above has to also be balanced against the person's score in openness, extroversion and neuroticism.

There's generally no perfect personality profile, but agreeableness is a factor that will generally detract from personal success as is being high in neuroticism.

I judge by actions, not the 'official' word.  And yon feminists did indeed trot out such ideas, but of course, you don't need to cull young males when you can control their minds and their destiny and marginalise them at whim ... and perhaps you could explain to us the end game of all these Indigenous demands .. where does this 'ownership' and 'special rights' rationally end?

Over to you.....

You don't like his views because they lead to conclusions which conflict with your views on race, unfortunately his views are based on information which is well researched and accurate. At least 10 percent of people are a drain on society due to low IQ, that's just a fact. It is a fact that non white people for whatever reasons make up most of that 10 percent.



his views on what exactly? I've seen many of his videos over the years so which one are you referring to? What I don't like is his hypocrisy, irrespective of his views.


Hypocrisy now? A couple of posts up the tree it was his "contradiction" you had issues with.

I'd suggest you wouldn't know where you disagree with him except to make generalisations & never actually say where he is wrong.

You don't like him because he calls out lefty ideologues & their bs.

He runs rings around them in fact.

Anyway - despite vows to the contrary, IQ 'tests' remain orientated towards certain groups.  A person who assiduously works at doing - say - number sequences etc or patterns - does not necessarily have a higher IQ than someone who has never set eyes on those things - and thus the 'test' can be biased.

Repeat doing of the same thing can appear to be intelligent - i.e. doing the cryptic crossword puzzle - but it is often mainly a matter of rote and experience, and not intelligence pure and simple. I used to routinely do the cryptic during morning tea break in the CPS - practice..... doesn't mean I could read music, though... never tried... huge difference.

Same applies to many things.

I, for example, allegedly have a very high IQ - but I'm one of those who tend to generalise rather than specialise, and so, unless in the proper place, my comparative 'success' could be limited to less than that of people with a technically lower IQ, but who specialise.

It's not rocket surgery.

Jordan Peterson speaks some poo but that's the biggest load of it i've seen yet.

So very much wrong with it. From the military representing a true reflection of society to 1 in 10 people being untrainable. Society simply doesn't bear that out.

But the most relevant point is .... newsflash, IQ tests aren't worth the paper their printed on. There are just too many factors at play to give an accurate assessment of ... and let's face it, this is what Peterson is saying ... of someone's worth upon a test that has too many variables to be truly representative.

Load of horseshit. No wonder you buy it, Rhino. You buy all sorts of whackadoodle stuff, like Eugenics.

 
On that I would agree(highlighted)... I've seen it play out in the workplace.....

many of the highest scorers in aptitude & ability/psychometric tests end up the hardest to train & have the least application of commonsense in the workplace requiring an average to high ability to apply the theory & skills to operate safely across all work environments.

I'm speaking of skills required to be a freight train driver.

An IQ score is most useful within similar demographics, and is not an end point but a starting point.

"Value" education? God you're an ignorant, entitled, privileged little stain.

I was thinking about that African country, Guiana, was it?  Seems to me that the comparative 'IQs' between it and other nations could be a lot like what I attempted, in my poor way, to describe above.  Maybe it's just lack of practice and the kinds of things that 'IQ tests' look for... maybe the people there are more 'generalised' in approaching their particular lifestyle, and have no need for the trappings of civilised structured thought.

Not having 'structured thought' does not make you dumb, any more than not knowing something makes you stupid
(even though everyone knows it.. herh, herh - the day you stop learning something new is the day you die)....

You've missed the point, Graps. Although I agree with you about the need to teach morality, IQ is a test of intelligence. The clue is in the name. Morality and intelligence are separate, although the former is greater than the latter.

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Brian Ross it has been all three. Even among people lacking all distinction he inevitably stands out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who meet him are always impressed by how unimpressive he is.

I'm impressed by Brian he has 3 degrees:

BA,

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Brian Ross it has been all three. Even among people lacking all distinction he inevitably stands out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who meet him are always impressed by how unimpressive he is.

You've missed the point, Graps. Although I agree with you about the need to teach morality, IQ is a test of intelligence. The clue is in the name. Morality and intelligence are separate, although the former is greater than the latter.


I guess my point is that the intelligent man can absorb morality better... just a generalisation there... it comes from understanding rather than following dogma... like the warrior poets of olde.. a man who understood the finer points of life understood why he went to war to defend them... and singing went into battle with a full heart.... hoo-rah....

Jordan Peterson speaks some poo but that's the biggest load of it i've seen yet.

So very much wrong with it. From the military representing a true reflection of society to 1 in 10 people being untrainable. Society simply doesn't bear that out.

But the most relevant point is .... newsflash, IQ tests aren't worth the paper their printed on. There are just too many factors at play to give an accurate assessment of ... and let's face it, this is what Peterson is saying ... of someone's worth upon a test that has too many variables to be truly representative.

Load of horseshit. No wonder you buy it, Rhino. You buy all sorts of whackadoodle stuff, like Eugenics.

How is Eugenics "wackadoodle", its established science, has been in practise in many countries for many decades including Australia and has been shown to have a positive impact on  crime rates and society in  general.

You see it in supermarkets where 10% of customers pile up in the check-outs, unable to put stuff on the counter and work out how to pay.
They unload into the previous trolley or build mounds of baked beans and chips on the floor. They use old receipts as credit cards or offer newspaper (picked up from the shelf) as cash.  Many can't steer the trolleys and there is grid-lock in the final dash to the door.  And it's increasing.

Er... you are not actually addressing anything he said, nor do you say where he got it wrong. Why? You do not understand any of it. You are a moron with zero ability to actually comprehend and then counter any argument. Like Bwian.





I'm not trying to address anything he said. I haven't even watched the video in the OP. I'm giving my opinion  of him, formed over the years after watching several of his spiels. If you weren't such a total moron I wouldn't need to explain that to you.




How is the hanky folding job coming along? Do you have to wear a face mask at work or can you tie a hanky around your mouth?



If you work hard at your box cutting job, one day you might get promoted to folding hankies too.


Youd have to go back and graduate from kindergarten before you'd even get a look at a utility knife.

Oh, I don't think Matty's being, er, erotic, dear. It's more a scream of intense pain.

No no, the old boy's superior, you see. He likes Danish.

That places him above the greasy Itais, who just like to eat and breed and play the accordion. Cultural hierarchy, innit.

Of course, it places the old boy below we British, who are the pinnacle of civilisation and good manners. The old boy has noted this on many occasions, most recently using a quote from the eminent, but also tinted, VS Naipaul:

"Colonialism ended far too soon".

Yes, we must endure these inferior types as is our white man's burden, but you do have one up on poor old Fwank, may he rest in peace.You are, after all alive.

Where there's life there's hope, no?

Of course, it places the old boy below we British, who are the pinnacle of civilisation and good manners.



Weeeellll.... the Danes made England, first through Danelaw then by the Normans (Norsemen).   So there is no 'below'. Kin.

Maybe that's what you resent, wee buftie,  the way the Danes taught the English how to keep the barbarian Pakistanis in check north of Hadrian's Wall. Tsk, tsk.   Tongue Tongue

Well, Washoe could sign more eloquently than you can write.  She had 350 words to your 25.




I'm simply more efficient. Why spend 350 words telling you you're a moron, when I can do it with 3 words. .. you're a moron.

Now now, dear boy, you respect your betters. You people had no empire, no navy and no colonies. Alas, no rum, sodomy or the lash for you.

The only Pakis you have are imports. You didn't earn them, no white man's burden, no Boongs. You rode in on our coat-tails, you joined our gold rushes, our empire, our post-war boom. We liberated you from your home-grown Nazis, and you packed it in and flew down here. We even invented the airline you flew in on.

You, old boy, are inferior in every way, but that's okay. You have your wind farms, your Lego and your tidy little streets full of bicycles. That's something, no?

Don't feel down, embrace your inferiority. We're all friends here, it makes us who we are - a big, multicultural melting pot where you're on the same par as the Pakis.

If it's any consolation, we do feel for you, dear. It's not easy being you.

Well, colonised Scandinavia, England, Normandy, Greenland, Iceland, made it to America first. 
Gave England common law which it then gave to Australia et al.

England is a great example of doing good and learning from those who went to improve it, see? A wonderful daughter we are proud of and love and who loves us.

You? No. You people were consulting runes and living in long houses before JS's lot gave you writing.

Accept it, dear chap. You'll never quite be up to par. The good thing about you people is you all learn English like nice boys and girls. Most efficient. It'll certainly save us the bother if we ever have to liberate you again.

The top 1% is learning fast.
"Critics argue that the secretive consent mechanism gives the monarch a unique right among Britons to approve proposed laws that could affect her private wealth. She is one of Scotland’s largest private landowners, owning about 24,900 hectares (61,500 acres) at Balmoral and a further long lease on 4,730 hectares of Abergeldie estate, bordering Balmoral."

Back to work, Homo. The old boy's ordered a box of folded hankies.

Ship it out, please.


Mr Hanky can't have folded them. They don't have knots in them.


Oh, I don't know about that.

Answer 3.  Some people of low IQ are actually out there on the streets... that's terrifying with some...

Jordan Peterson speaks some poo but that's the biggest load of it i've seen yet. (dismissal)

So very much wrong with it. From the military representing a true reflection of society to 1 in 10 people being untrainable. Society simply doesn't bear that out.

But the most relevant point is .... newsflash, IQ tests aren't worth the paper their printed on. There are just too many factors at play to give an accurate assessment of ... and let's face it, this is what Peterson is saying .  (agreement) ... of someone's worth upon a test that has too many variables to be truly representative.

Load of horseshit. No wonder you buy it, Rhino. You buy all sorts of whackadoodle stuff, like Eugenics.


You are up there with Bwian, Mothra: from dismissing Petersen to agreeing with him in three lines.


Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Brian Ross it has been all three. Even among people lacking all distinction he inevitably stands out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who meet him are always impressed by how unimpressive he is.



How could i have possibly agreed with him?

How could you?

What's more, and perhaps most important is you have no response to the points i raised.

Here's a red flag; how could the military be a representative of the wider society when it excludes 10% of the population?

I reject him utterly in this. Perhaps you would care to expand on how you have formed the conclusion that i have gone form "from dismissing Petersen to agreeing with him in three lines. "

I think you'll find you can't. Because i haven't. I've torn him a new one. I'm not overly proud of it though. Soo to would anyone with half a brain and at least a third of a heart.

How is Eugenics "wackadoodle", its established science, has been in practise in many countries for many decades including Australia and has been shown to have a positive impact on  crime rates and society in  general.


It's a massively and categorically discredited pseudo-science. It's been ripped apart thoroughly, Repeatedly.

And as for laws implemented, you mean ones of incarceration, segregation and forced sterilising? Yeah, we all did that. The Nazis were particularly fond of it. The overwhelming majority of us are right embarrassed by it now though.

Nice to see you use that stuff as a defence for your "science". Pretty typical of what i've seen of your "science". Ozpol accepts all comers.

Suggesting that people are a drain on society is not the same as saying they should be exterminated.  That's an emotional response.

Many feel that politicians and public servants are a drain on society, but there is no concerted move to exterminate them.


Word for Today:-
'extreminate' (v) - to apply a final solution (not to be confused with a final coat of paint/last test in a series of chemical reactions/ last bit of polish on a car)

(n) - extremination - the act of applying a final solution

You miss the point utterly and typically.

The point is nobody is a drain on society. Society should be built to accommodate all of the children within it. And we all contribute, just in different ways.

Completely the opposite - I take no stance on the issue, least of all one based on emotion.  Why are you persisting with the emotional stance in using the term 'children'?  It isn't only children... depending on your ideology, countless individuals could be 'drains on society' - the dissidents, regime critics, political opponents, non-feminists.... you know the drill.

The danger here is the POSSIBILITY that an extreme government, which is something that crosses all boundaries and is nowhere restricted to the 'Right', could use this thought as the means to an end - that of disposing of its opponents and others considered untermenschen.

All are subject to the state, and the state holds supreme power, no?

Peterson didn't suggest eugenics... he merely pointed out that research said, from one context, that some people are a drain on society.  That is apparent to anyone with clear eyes, but is still not a suggestion that they be exterminated.

It is you and yours who are turning a comment into some demand for Eugenics... I merely pointed out the real dangers in Eugenics and how it could be applied by any extremist government to silence opposition and such.  You lot coupled Peterson's comment with Eugenics.  Read back and see.

Hardly blathering unless I'm playing chess with a pigeon.  You need three things - to grow up, to learn to argue courteously, and to actually offer an educated opinion instead of laying into those who do.

Oh - make that four - get down off your high horse... you still haven't answered as to why you need to make peace with your Indigenous neighbours or whatever.... I have and had no such need since I never did one thing to them... are you telling me they are choosing to be at war with me, and that any 'peace' can only be on their terms?

Silly buggars....  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes 

Oh - and for those who argue like pigeons playing chess - that's you - I've always said that the contribution to economic activity by every individual means that person is not a drain on society.  I'm certain your mind cannot incorporate such ideas, though... you need spoon feeding of your ideology or you are lost.. make that more lost.

It's hard to fathom why any 'revelation' that the innately 'under-endowed' exist is controversial.

All major religions acknowledge it and in Buddhism the first noble truth is that 'Life is suffering'.

That suffering could be anything, including the outcome of inability of any kind.

To have a 'low' IQ (excluding those who cannot be measured effectively) and to be low in conscientiousness is at least an indicator that you will likely be poor and unaccomplished and need assistance from relatives, friends or the state.

We all require "assistance from relatives, friends or the state". And we all contribute, in our own ways.

A healthy society understands and accommodates for this. And flourishes as a result.

Comes to a thread to defend the low IQ then insults people for a perceived lack of intelligence.

Yet more proof this one is a fake and a fraud.

A quick reminder, this one doesn't even want to share an airport with the low IQ bogans one their way to Bali  Smiley

It's hard to fathom why any 'revelation' that the innately 'under-endowed' exist is controversial.

All major religions acknowledge it and in Buddhism the first noble truth is that 'Life is suffering'.

That suffering could be anything, including the outcome of inability of any kind.

To have a 'low' IQ (excluding those who cannot be measured effectively) and to be low in conscientiousness is at least an indicator that you will likely be poor and unaccomplished and need assistance from relatives, friends or the state.



We all require "assistance from relatives, friends or the state". And we all contribute, in our own ways.

A healthy society understands and accommodates for this. And flourishes as a result.

I believe that the claim to being a healthy and great society should be measured by the degree to which its underprivileged are treated.

This was Johnson's motivating principle when he ascended to the US presidency. Unfortunately he betrayed that principle with his prosecution of and conduct during the Vietnam war.

It's a reminder that the greater the ideal, the more pragmatics and 'realpolitik' conspire to bring it down.

Johnson's attempt to lift single mothers out of poverty was another example of human machiavellianism undermining the great ideal.

It lead to an 'explosion' of women claiming to be single mothers (and/or unmarried) because their 'partners' had either long departed or lived at another address, giving the single mother (and sometimes the partner) 'free money'.

Or more disadvantaged people seeking to take advantage of greener pastures. Hardly Machiavellianism striving to undermine altruism.

The set isn't so evenly balanced as to call for that. One would be inclined to call all exploitation of the underclasses into question if one was put to questioning the mere transgression you refer to.

More has been done to the underclasses in both the pursuit and the contempt of the ideal than has ever been done by them.

Maybe cynicism is a better word than Machiavellianism. It led to more women having children to claim financial support.

It's an example of what happens when great ideals (Johnson's Great Society) face the reality of the human condition.

But it's true to say that the ideal is no less great because of it's cynical abuse.

It is a warning, though, that not everyone contributes to the betterment of society.

Suggesting that people are a drain on society is not the same as saying they should be exterminated.  That's an emotional response.

Many feel that politicians and public servants are a drain on society, but there is no concerted move to exterminate them.


Word for Today:-
'extreminate' (v) - to apply a final solution (not to be confused with a final coat of paint/last test in a series of chemical reactions/ last bit of polish on a car)

(n) - extremination - the act of applying a final solution


You miss the point utterly and typically.


The point is nobody is a drain on society. Society should be built to accommodate all of the children within it. And we all contribute, just in different ways.


Completely the opposite - I take no stance on the issue, least of all one based on emotion.  Why are you persisting with the emotional stance in using the term 'children'?  It isn't only children... depending on your ideology, countless individuals could be 'drains on society' - the dissidents, regime critics, political opponents, non-feminists.... you know the drill.

The danger here is the POSSIBILITY that an extreme government, which is something that crosses all boundaries and is nowhere restricted to the 'Right', could use this thought as the means to an end - that of disposing of its opponents and others considered untermenschen.

All are subject to the state, and the state holds supreme power, no?



What are you blathering about? Absolutely nothing that anyone else has brought up.

if you're trying to engage me in a new conversation, i keep telling you, i'm not interested. I'm completely over trying to engage in debate with you. Chess with a pigeon

Now, if you have a comment on why Eugenics is a bad or good idea, float it to the table but don't address me on a random side note thinking i may be interested. I'm not.


Peterson didn't suggest eugenics... he merely pointed out that research said, from one context, that some people are a drain on society.  That is apparent to anyone with clear eyes, but is still not a suggestion that they be exterminated.

It is you and yours who are turning a comment into some demand for Eugenics... I merely pointed out the real dangers in Engenics and how it could be applied by any extremist government to silence opposition and such.

Hardly blathering unless I'm playing chess with a pigeon.  You need thre things - to grow up, to learn to argue courteously, and to actually offer an educated opinion instead of laying into those who do.

Oh - make that four - get down off your high horse... you still haven't answered as to why you need to make peace with your Indigenous neighbours or whatever.... I have and had no such need since I never did one thing to them... are you telling me they are choosing to be at war with me, and that any 'peace' can only be on their terms?

Silly buggars....  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes 



No you idiot. I was answering a post of Rhino's directly relating to Eugenics and you inserted yourself in the middle of it with your bizarre side-rant.



There you see why you get on so well here in your deep and balanced intellectual way.

The assumption from the beginning was that this had become about eugenics, and you are clearly supporting the view that Peterson said that.  He did not.

Try to follow the discussion and stop throwing verbiage around as if you actually know what yo8're talking about.  You are clearly unbalanced... no wonder you had to make peace with your Aboriginal locals.... you war with everyone and wonder why you are always in deep.

Who are you to say they are not contributing to the betterment of society by having children? Who are you to quantify these children? Have you done research into the children born of this ideal you cite?

Who are you to see all ends?

The simple fact of the matter is that single mothers require assistance often. Only very lucky single mothers, in fact, do not require assistance of some sort.

What is also a given is that all of these children grow up to be contributing members of society, in whatever form they take.

It is uo to society whether it chooses to be clever enough to view it's progeny as a means to it's own betterment.

What do you propose to make every child grow up to be a contributing member of society? How do you actually go about achieving that?  Now there's a good question for those who over-generalise.

Dat street boy on dat corner holding down his drug turf - is he a contributing member?

Why do you keep foolishly responding to any hard question with abuse and insult as if you are Entitled™ to control the discussion?

I have yet to see you actually offer a single answer on how to control certain behaviour in certain groups that is causing their Downfall, or to offer a single solid idea on how to resolve any social issue - all you do is argue day and night and do a Smith and insult others who ask the hard questions.

Not my fault that your pets fall into the groups seen as low IQ... just life....

HOW do you propose to go about making every child a contributing member of society, regardless of all considerations?  Not a hard question... only a hard answer.... give it a try for once.

At our local school a few years ago was this parasite of a woman.

Ugly as sin, identified as an abbo, although she was as white as any.

She trolled pubs looking for drunk men.

She had 6 kids, each to a different father and she claimed every single benifits she could try.
Which was plenty as an abbo.

The kids were base turds, never looked after, not controlled they ran riot and caused all manner of trouble.
When DOCS were brought in, she did the whole "racism" dance and got a nice 5 bedroom house, a car and more money.

This creature is only one example of several similar women.
The system is screwed.
A woman who may have made a mistake and has one child I understand.
A woman who screws up twice should be seriously spoken to.
But a woman who churns out kids just to get money and looked after should have the kids taken and her prevented from having any more.

Why do we have so many parasites and continue to feed them.
A complete culture of parasites with more benifits than anyone else.
Lazy, useless women churning out kids to be parasites.
Immigrants that come here, break our laws and screw the welfare system.

There are genuine people out there who need help.
But there are even more parasites who are too FRIGGING lazy and worthless screwing the system.

FIND THEM, STOP FEEDING THEM.

BRING ON THE WELFARE CARD NOW.

If you think that people have children to collect on money from the government, you are a bit of an idiot. Who is going to look after you in your old age by being the providers of tax and services? Oh, the children of Asian, African and Middle Eastern migrants who probably despise your kind.

Yes, it does (depend on what those children go on to contribute).

As much as not contribute.

Not everyone lives by high ideals... And, I'd bet those who do, don't always maintain their own high standards.

Have you done the studies?



Has anyone?

For you - you do understand the concept of an open discussion, don't you?  Nobody 'insinuates' self into an open discussion.  Your kind, on the other hand wish to take on the mantle of total control over discussion.. thank god you rarely get into positions of running this country and some others - with that attitude you will instantly assume that you have some Right™ to total power and the right to de-Voice anyone else, and only those you deem worthy will be granted 'rights' at your discretion.

Very, very familiar with the Woke types these days.  Everything would run perfectly if only you could whip everyone else into line.  No wonder some call you Neo-Marxists - I prefer the term Neo-Stalinists myself.

Freedom of speech - love it or leave.....

If you think that people have children to collect on money from the government, you are a bit of an idiot.

Yeah, some do.


Some might have more than 3 children for the sake of extra payments. But, those that have 1, 2, or 3 children are usually the type that wanted to have children.

Yes, it does (depend on what those children go on to contribute).

As much as not contribute.

Not everyone lives by high ideals... And, I'd bet those who do, don't always maintain their own high standards.



It's hardly a high ideal to accept every life as worthy.

I am not doubting you, North, that some people have children for the sake of getting extra payments in their dole money or whatever the system is for them. But, the underlying factor of having children is to have someone around to look after you in your old age. To be the replacements for you and to keep the community functioning.

Really? No family rifts? No abandoned Christmas dinner gatherings? No one whose children refuse to speak to them?

To sanctify all people in principle or send them into the stratosphere of persistently living up to high ideals does not honour them, it dehumanises them.

All that you have described fits in the parameters of normal family functioning.

Are you suggesting people on benefits should be held to a higher standard of family functioning than the rest of society?

And dysfunction.

Depends on their personal reasons for needing benefits. If it's to, say, sustain a drug habit, then maybe 'society' has a right to hold some to higher standards than they live.

Obviously, you can't. You just need to accept that for all the good and ill that this person brings to society, they are society's child and we must accommodate them.

A clever society will not only accommodate the person, they will be enhanced by them. Even the most heinous criminal.

Of course. The collective parent. We have that, flawed as it is.

But you must agree that some of the best agents we have in the battle against childhood abandonment and neglect; drug abuse and petty crime come from within the ranks of those exposed directly.

As i keep saying, a clever society will adjust.

Over the years, I have seen some bad family dramas happen. Just recently, we had a family gathering for a birthday. I have not seen such a great gathering. The only issue was that Dad did not want his younger brother attending, even if he was not going to go to the event.

But still, our family relatives have an average of 3 or 4 children per family. And they are all about raising them with little assistance financially from the government. My sister is part owner of a business and she has 3 children. Well raised and intelligent people. I would find it difficult to think that a family could have as many as 3 children and not be reasonably well off socially.

No. That is entirely your lens.

We all contribute. All of us. Even the ones you don't like. And just because they've done things you don't like, doesn't mean they haven't contributed.

In fact, that may be the means through which they have contributed most strongly.

There can be no absolute compassion while there remains a penal system. I'm not suggesting a removal of the penal system nor am i pimping blind compassion.

What i am saying is that even those within the penal system can and do contribute.

So 'worthy' is boiling down to 'mandatory accommodation'.



No. That is entirely your lens.

We all contribute. All of us. Even the ones you don't like. And just because they've done things you don't like, doesn't mean they haven't contributed.

In fact, that may be the means through which they have contributed most strongly.


So 'contribute' is boiling down to 'action' regardless of its value.



What are you smoking? Worthiness may jut be achieved by being observed.

There are many roads to worthiness. Yours however seem strict and confined.

One wants to say elitist.

I believe to say someone has lived a worthy life is to place a high value on their actions in the grand scheme of things.

You misunderstand. I mean they act as an example. They fulfil statistics. They act as deterrents. They keep the authorities on their toes. Meanwhile they fill in all the gaps civilised society pretends not to notice.

ALL people make up this melting pot. And were it not for those behaving badly, we'd know next to nothing.

And a sophisticated society accepts all.

More importantly than that, a sophisticated society doesn't encourage people to rely on handouts for having babies. See? You've got that the wrong way round.

However malevolent, we learn. Or we should.

It's a belief of mine that many of the people in prison cells should be in research facilities. Most importantly where they are treated well but where they are studied. Throw our students at them. Throw our up and comers at them. Learn.

I'm pretty sure they do that.

In fact if Tom O'Neill is to be believed (in his book 'Chaos'), Manson was not only studied but allowed to reach his nadir by those studying the psychology and  likely malevolence of the Black Panthers and 'hippies' and their potential for actually causing a revolution.

Also, (again if O'Neill is to be believed) the authorities, and persons responsible for allowing Manson to 'contribute' to society, went to great lengths to conceal their involvement.

I guess not all actions are worthy and not all contributions to society are salutary.

I believe to say someone has lived a worthy life is to place a high value on their actions in the grand scheme of things.



What grand scheme? Charles Manson will be remembered, they won't. He certainly didn't live a "worthy" life according to your standards but he's lived a worthy life to authors, historians, psychologists, etc. In the grand scheme of things, he is of immense import.

What does that speak to his worthiness? Not much.

What i mean to say to you, North, is that you cannot ascertain what it worthy. That is why i'm not saying what is or isn't worthy. I don't know. I'm not grand jury. All i know is that things beyond my value system are of worth. And i know that my value system doesn't come into it at all.

Every statistic, every single digit, represents a person. A human being who through acts of self determination or accident fell into that space. That doesn't quantify them, however. And no doubt there are a few dozen other statistics they fill in quite nicely.

But each of us, each god-forsaken one of us touches people uniquely. Each one of us leaves an imprint no other can leave, on our family and friends ... on our community.

All of it worthy.

And if in the long run all they do is manage to be a bad example? Still worthy. We need them in society.

But it does stretch the meaning of 'worthy' beyond its societally normative borders to mean any act (regardless of value) that affects another is necessarily a 'worthy' act.

They're created?

However malevolent, we learn. Or we should.

It's a belief of mine that many of the people in prison cells should be in research facilities. Most importantly where they are treated well but where they are studied. Throw our students at them. Throw our up and comers at them. Learn.

I'm pretty sure they do that.

In fact if Tom O'Neill is to be believed (in his book 'Chaos'), Manson was not only studied but allowed to reach his nadir by those studying the psychology and  likely malevolence of the Black Panthers and 'hippies' and their potential for actually causing a revolution.

Also, (again if O'Neill is to be believed) the authorities, and persons responsible for allowing Manson to 'contribute' to society, went to great lengths to conceal their involvement.

I guess not all actions are worthy and not all contributions to society are salutary.

They had enough on Manson to have him locked him up before he encouraged the murders he's infamous for. He had a green light to get off bail-jumping and other crimes and was supplied LSD to provide to 'hippies' to see the effect of the, then largely unknown, drug on human psychology.

A clever society will not only accommodate the person, they will be enhanced by them. Even the most heinous criminal.

So 'worthy' is boiling down to 'mandatory accommodation'.



No. That is entirely your lens.

We all contribute. All of us. Even the ones you don't like. And just because they've done things you don't like, doesn't mean they haven't contributed.

In fact, that may be the means through which they have contributed most strongly.


So 'contribute' is boiling down to 'action' regardless of its value.



What are you smoking? Worthiness may jut be achieved by being observed.

There are many roads to worthiness. Yours however seem strict and confined.

One wants to say elitist.

I'm not making any statements about what is worthy or not.

But, then, neither are you.

I believe to say someone has lived a worthy life is to place a high value on their actions in the grand scheme of things.



What grand scheme? Charles Manson will be remembered, they won't. He certainly didn't live a "worthy" life according to your standards but he's lived a worthy life to authors, historians, psychologists, etc. In the grand scheme of things, he is of immense import.

What does that speak to his worthiness? Not much.

What i mean to say to you, North, is that you cannot ascertain what it worthy. That is why i'm not saying what is or isn't worthy. I don't know. I'm not grand jury. All i know is that things beyond my value system are of worth. And i know that my value system doesn't come into it at all.

Every statistic, every single digit, represents a person. A human being who through acts of self determination or accident fell into that space. That doesn't quantify them, however. And no doubt there are a few dozen other statistics they fill in quite nicely.

But each of us, each god-forsaken one of us touches people uniquely. Each one of us leaves an imprint no other can leave, on our family and friends ... on our community.

All of it worthy.

And if in the long run all they do is manage to be a bad example? Still worthy. We need them in society.

Ok... Fair enough.

But it does stretch the meaning of 'worthy' beyond its societally normative borders to mean any act (regardless of value) that affects another is necessarily a 'worthy' act.


No it doesn't. Not to an intelligent society.

May i provide exhibit a: Scandinavia.

The Scandinavians would not consider murder a worthy act.

Contribute what?



Example?

You said they contribute. I'm asking you what you mean by that. So far it seems 'acting on the world' without applying value is contributing, to you.


You misunderstand. I mean they act as an example. They fulfil statistics. They act as deterrents. They keep the authorities on their toes. Meanwhile they fill in all the gaps civilised society pretends not to notice.

ALL people make up this melting pot. And were it not for those behaving badly, we'd know next to nothing.

And a sophisticated society accepts all.

More importantly than that, a sophisticated society doesn't encourage people to rely on handouts for having babies. See? You've got that the wrong way round.

Would you value Einstein and Manson equally?

Would you say Manson contributed to society as did Einstein?


It's not a competition.



No - it's a matter of effect.  There is an underlying concept titled Humanity, and it has rules.

What about Mengele/Manson? Which is the greater contributor?

An Einstein doesn't remotely 'compete' with a Manson or Mengele - they are in different fields, which are totally unrelated to one another.

Your education is proceeding, Grasshopper.

Next lesson:-  Mengele and Manson both thought they were doing the greater good for humanity/their chosen elitist group ... Einstein didn't even think about it... feeling that you are doing right does not make it so....

Which was the greatest contributor out of the three?

No. I have been asking you to explain what you mean by 'worthy' such that it means more than just being born.

No. But in 1960s America, paranoia was rife about social unrest instigated by fringe groups combined with the powerful effects of psychedelics.

No you haven't. But i will tell you now, as you've asked.

I'm sure their worth was gauged by their mother's love ... or equivalent. Or the good things that they have done in their lives, however incidental, all add up to societal cohesion. We do not, ideally, quantify a person by the extremes of their behaviour but the mean.

And even the mean of a poorly behaved person can be telling.

And where they fell from grace, well that serves as not only example but opportunity for those of us in positions able to to accommodate and learn form that behaviour.

Studying our dirty understains is how we grow.

Worthy?  Worthy of what?

Exactly.



No. That's not what you've been arguing. You've been arguing that some people are "unworthy".

No. I have been asking you to explain what you mean by 'worthy' such that it means more than just being born.

And 'contribute' such that it means more than just acting upon society regardless of the act's value.




No you haven't. But i will tell you now, as you've asked.

I'm sure their worth was gauged by their mother's love ... or equivalent. Or the good things that they have done in their lives, however incidental, all add up to societal cohesion. We do not, ideally, quantify a person by the extremes of their behaviour but the mean.

And even the mean of a poorly behaved person can be telling.

And where they fell from grace, well that serves as not only example but opportunity for those of us in positions able to to accommodate and learn form that behaviour.

Studying our dirty understains is how we grow.

Presuming they were loved (and gauged worthy) by their mother, or equivalent.

Worth usually implies value.

Yes, it is worth studying those who deviate malevolently against society... But once you apply the term to an individual, you bang up against the notion of moral worth, which is the context the term usually refers when applied to individuals.

Sounds bonkers. Surely you don't subscribe to that?

No. But in 1960s America, paranoia was rife about social unrest instigated by fringe groups combined with the powerful effects of psychedelics.



And you thought to introduce it here, to racist Ozpol.

Obviously, you can't. You just need to accept that for all the good and ill that this person brings to society, they are society's child and we must accommodate them.

A clever society will not only accommodate the person, they will be enhanced by them. Even the most heinous criminal.

So 'worthy' is boiling down to 'mandatory accommodation'.



No. That is entirely your lens.

We all contribute. All of us. Even the ones you don't like. And just because they've done things you don't like, doesn't mean they haven't contributed.

In fact, that may be the means through which they have contributed most strongly.


So 'contribute' is boiling down to 'action' regardless of its value.



What are you smoking? Worthiness may jut be achieved by being observed.

There are many roads to worthiness. Yours however seem strict and confined.

One wants to say elitist.

I'm not making any statements about what is worthy or not.

But, then, neither are you.

I believe to say someone has lived a worthy life is to place a high value on their actions in the grand scheme of things.



What grand scheme? Charles Manson will be remembered, they won't. He certainly didn't live a "worthy" life according to your standards but he's lived a worthy life to authors, historians, psychologists, etc. In the grand scheme of things, he is of immense import.

What does that speak to his worthiness? Not much.

What i mean to say to you, North, is that you cannot ascertain what it worthy. That is why i'm not saying what is or isn't worthy. I don't know. I'm not grand jury. All i know is that things beyond my value system are of worth. And i know that my value system doesn't come into it at all.

Every statistic, every single digit, represents a person. A human being who through acts of self determination or accident fell into that space. That doesn't quantify them, however. And no doubt there are a few dozen other statistics they fill in quite nicely.

But each of us, each god-forsaken one of us touches people uniquely. Each one of us leaves an imprint no other can leave, on our family and friends ... on our community.

All of it worthy.

And if in the long run all they do is manage to be a bad example? Still worthy. We need them in society.

Ok... Fair enough.

But it does stretch the meaning of 'worthy' beyond its societally normative borders to mean any act (regardless of value) that affects another is necessarily a 'worthy' act.


No it doesn't. Not to an intelligent society.

May i provide exhibit a: Scandinavia.

The Scandinavians would not consider murder a worthy act.



Worthy?  Worthy of what?


Why, worthy of taking out a few tinted Young Labor Party campers in the name of Western civilisation, of course.

EVISCERATION has its discontents, no?

Unlike the US, Portugal takes care of it's underprivileged. They spend the same money they used to spend on drugs, but they spend it on other social services.

I think that sooner or late most jurisdictions will adopt it. Portugal has proven that it works. As this success spreads into other jurisdictions who try it, it'll inevitably put pressure on those resisting to adapt. Voters would rather spend an extra billion on schools, doctors and hospitals than they would jailers and cops.

Truth don't give a damn what colour your paint job is.... if they does the crime.. well...

Oh - of course - as victims of an oppressive society, they cannot be guilty?  that insanity started with the feminists - 'the oppressor has no rights' - and now it extends into this ludicrous critical race theory.

Ergo - that concentration camp doctor deciding left or right  should not be judged on the good or evil of his actions, since all are components of comparative good and all are contributors to society and thus are equal......  Roll Eyes

There is no good, there is no bad - Aleister Crowley's 'do what thou wilt' applies to everything... and the entire basis of civilisation falls into ruin.  Without codes of behaviour there can be no civilisation- if there is no wrong everything is possible without restraint.

Great - just great...

Trump is a prisoner to his insecurities his paranoia his fears and his mental instability.

He will be remembered as the only president to not have had a peaceful hand over of power.

So which is the cart and which the horse?

Are they in prison because they are disadvantaged, or are they disadvantaged because they are in prison?

It is Inevitable™ that people who live by the revolving door will be perpetually disadvantaged... do they NEED to stay that way or can they change their life for the better?

To have children for the money is not contributing to the betterment of society.


Depends on what those children go on to contribute.


Yes, it does (depend on what those children go on to contribute).

As much as not contribute.

Not everyone lives by high ideals... And, I'd bet those who do, don't always maintain their own high standards.



It's hardly a high ideal to accept every life as worthy.

Really? In what way is every life necessarily worthy?



The pure act of conference of life itself.

Are you suggesting there be some kind of scale to establish worth?




No - that's your province in seeking to make all 'worth' equal regardless of all other factors.

As i keep saying, a clever society will adjust.

A compassionate society will cultivate forbearance.

And the best it will achieve is compassion generally, not in the absolute.



There can be no absolute compassion while there remains a penal system. I'm not suggesting a removal of the penal system nor am i pimping blind compassion.

What i am saying is that even those within the penal system can and do contribute.


So you have no real answer?  Thanks for your frank admission.

Shouldn't a life judged worthy be measured in the whole... Not just the fact of birth?


You can't tell that til the end.

How do you quantify it beforehand?

That's my question to you. How do you quantify it beforehand?



Obviously, you can't. You just need to accept that for all the good and ill that this person brings to society, they are society's child and we must accommodate them.

A clever society will not only accommodate the person, they will be enhanced by them. Even the most heinous criminal.


We do - they are often righteously accommodated in prisons, and they certainly enhance society by not being out of prison.  Ivan Milat was a wonderful man who had wonderful qualities.... we should honour his life and his achievements.

so you agree they cost more than they'll ever make ... there you go, they're contributing to society already

Only if you call, say, sustaining a drug habit via welfare contributing.


the war on drugs has kept the US economy ticking along for many years

No. Policing, court processes and incarceration for drug possession and use has cost the US economy far more than it has benefitted it.



whatever it costs, it's money moving through the economy, adding billions to the funding of police and services

The Portuguese might disagree.


Unlike the US, Portugal takes care of it's underprivileged. They spend the same money they used to spend on drugs, but they spend it on other social services.

High 5 to the Portuguese!


Portugal is still full of junkies, in the real sense of the word.  Wink

I am not doubting you, North, that some people have children for the sake of getting extra payments in their dole money or whatever the system is for them. But, the underlying factor of having children is to have someone around to look after you in your old age. To be the replacements for you and to keep the community functioning.

Really? No family rifts? No abandoned Christmas dinner gatherings? No one whose children refuse to speak to them?

To sanctify all people in principle or send them into the stratosphere of persistently living up to high ideals does not honour them, it dehumanises them.


Over the years, I have seen some bad family dramas happen. Just recently, we had a family gathering for a birthday. I have not seen such a great gathering. The only issue was that Dad did not want his younger brother attending, even if he was not going to go to the event.

But still, our family relatives have an average of 3 or 4 children per family. And they are all about raising them with little assistance financially from the government. My sister is part owner of a business and she has 3 children. Well raised and intelligent people. I would find it difficult to think that a family could have as many as 3 children and not be reasonably well off socially.

Some of us are fortunate... Others... Not so much.


Hard work and constructive social interactions are not a result of being fortunate.

My point being that so many these days utter empty phrases without once thinking them through.

Sure, prisons provide employment and a sopping rag for public money so as to ensure the cycle of cash goes round and round etc - that doesn't mean we have to honour those inside.

Some of them are innocent or falsely set up etc - as I know full well - but even the worst case scenario says 1:6.  The other 5:6 - well... they never heard of personal choices.

The issue of economic activity has nothing to do with societal values that we place EQUALLY on all citizens - that's the principle, anyway.

You break-a da rules - you do-a da time... don' expec' no respec' for it... respect your victims first asshole, then we'll think about it.

Gotta wonder what some here have been smoking or injecting in their youth and maybe longer.

No doubt true, depending on the parameters.

Factoring in nature (potential for high IQ, personality traits and no mental/physical congenital disorders) will improve your potential outcomes. You'd agree that everyone should be grateful for their good fortune in the genetic/epigenetic lottery?

Watch Ken Burns' documentary 'Prohibition' to see what happened after the establishment of Prohibition via the 18th Amendment. The aftermath was so bad, the 21st Amendment was included to repeal the 18th.

There are no effective ways of eliminating the use/abuse of mind-altering feelgood substances by prohibition, so long as they physically can be grown or manufactured.

Not to mention the fortune of either landing in a bad spot or a good spot.  So many factors come into it that we are in danger of accepting that all are totally equal in their value, as espoused by mothra, and the noble criminal has a place of standing in the community.

Of course, in the community she moves in, they are notably considered victims of an oppressive society, and thus to have not only no personal responsibility for their own actions, but are to be praised and protected at all costs, including the group taking up the spear to protect them from righteous retribution.

After all - what's wrong with running down with a car two family members you are feuding with, or shooting a competitor in his driveway?  Just part of the way of life, innit?  Normal tribal justice, innit?

You see that among many primitive cultural groups... Mussos in Sydney's ghettos are the same... group protection of the certified criminal who the police have come to arrest... they'll gather in the streets and demonstrate their group ire at such a thing being done to one of their own, no matter what he has done.

Perhaps you have found a way to beat the system, just like Rhino and his poll.

Poor old troll socks, desperate and despised.

No doubt true, depending on the parameters.

Factoring in nature (potential for high IQ, personality traits and no mental/physical congenital disorders) will improve your potential outcomes. You'd agree that everyone should be grateful for their good fortune in the genetic/epigenetic lottery?


Well, seeing that I have a bias for my own biological children, I do have some kind of agreement with you there. My daughters seem to have high IQs and a good down-to-Earth personalities. They are well behaved and well-liked by their community. My sons are generally pretty good. Much of the issue is when I have had seen them being brought up in average conditions. Some are upper-middle socioeconomically raised. Others are battlers. But, they mainly have a good work ethic and positive outlook.

A good upbringing can improve the chances that positive inherited faculties will be expressed.

Something discovered only recently is that the genetic predisposition towards psychopathy is far greater than once realised. Being: A child can be born without the normal neural capacity for developing compassion and empathy towards others (a signature of being psychopathic), but not become violent, malevolent and malignantly manipulative, if the child is raised well by parents and taught (by second nature) to learn to emulate natural compassion / empathy... If the child is not raised well (e.g. exposed to violence and abuse), then the predisposition towards malevolent psychopathy will more likely be expressed.

Having said that, it is apparently also becoming evident that it's more nature than nurture that determines significant life outcomes (i.e. being born with the right chemicals seems more important than whether you've had a good or great upbringing).

Yes. Apparently there is the pathogenic stress theory which proposes that if you're born into areas with high disease incidence (e.g.cholera, malaria, polio etc...), your chances of being born with a lower IQ is greater (due to brain development being compromised by the need for a strong immune system).

... and then schizophrenia can set in in the teens... or worse still, they could become Young Liberals and have the lobotomy.... or even Young Laborites and actually believe in all this enforced 'equality' insanity... or at least pretend to since it is so lucrative.....

One reason I oppose party politics at local government level is that these dorks use it as a stepping stone to develop a 'political career' - the very last thing we continue to need in this poor struggling nation controlled by self-serving spalpeens.....

Government for the people NOW!  Not for your party or your own self-interest.

Yeee-usssh... haven't seen those... can see the idea....interesting. Genetic abnormalities play a huge part - the reasons for those are manifold, as usual, and not subject to a five second scrutiny.

Interesting theory.  Does a need to develop survival mechanisms in, say, a war zone, work towards a similar event?  I've known some very highly intelligent Aborigines and Blacks from Offshore.... yet many such have lived for years in very adverse circumstances, and sometimes in high disease areas.
How does the theory account for the success of Indians and Chinese, apart from dedicated rote learning?

Well, brain development and functioning requires significant energy... If your immune system (and likely limbic system during times of great stress) has the more immediate claim to the body's energy for survival, then brain development will necessarily by compromised in favour of the immune system and/or (probably) the limbic system.

It's never been true in human history.

Allegedly and theoretically equal in their access to rights, but we know that has never been the case.  In THEORY everyone enjoys the same rights, as I argue relentlessly here - the issue is that those rights can be and often are considered discretionary in the hands of those who promote themselves to running the show.

Very, very few people hold sufficient principle to stand back and genuinely apply rights equally.

I believe myself to be one such - growing up in a savagely dysfunctional family, I learned to stand back and evaluate things before allowing anything to pass. If it wasn't good enough I said no.. and one thing I learned was that what my parents and siblings had was never going to be what I wanted.

Old reactionary from way back.  The funny thing is that I've seen the very same savage dysfunctionality in general society, so my family was, in some ways, a microcosm of our 'culture', something I'm seeking to put into a developing book.

Mothers smoking and drinking affects the foetus and shrinks the grey  jelly.  I used to see them going outside the maternity ward to the proper smoking area.

Not always - I have some serious blind spots.  I don't claim it or 'practice' it, unlike some who make a living out of it.

That's one aspect - another is your relative 'position' in society which will give you more equal privileges ...

There's a Billy Connelly sketch where he's had a night out and been picked up by the Glasgow coppers - wake up in a cell looking the scraps (with his hair, mind), and asks for a comb... no way!  Then he says 'would you buy a used car from this man?' - holding up his hair.

Did you think I would leave you lying,
When I can lie my head off, too.
When someone squawks on the witness box,
I'll cover up for you...


Just looking or dressing the part will get you convicted... there are some here who continue to preach that the dole bludgers are all out drinking bourbons and coke at the pub... all these characters there who look the part but could be tradies and such... bourbon and coke at $6-7 a shot is not going to fall into the dolie's expenditure plot.  Maybe one a fortnight.

People generally are a silly prejudiced lot and often don't think very much, let alone actually notice anything... and yet with some their shark instincts are finely honed...

With regard to the OP...

Peterson is right, but he was naive to think that the first world is capable of hearing it.

The notion that 'we're all born tabula rasa' (i.e. 'created equal') and it's society that paints the canvas for you, is a facile myth born of never having had to suffer greatly due to circumstance.

It's hard to face the fact that the content of our chemicals mostly contributes to our circumstances.

But that does not detract from the fact that a compassionate society, (one that can constrain itself from knee-jerk vengeance and malignant retribution), is a great society.

Agreed.

Let me re-phrase that.... there are many who stem from a poor background who are delusional about their 'powers', or who simply do not understand the difference.  Those are the cracked ones...... I've met a few.

As a means of protecting self from them outside world, they enter a world of delusion, often claiming psychic powers etc.  Often that is a manifestation of their delusional state (perhaps acquired for self-protection), or in some cases, can simply be a way to earn an easy dollar.

While I accept that at times individuals can exhibit 'psychic' powers, and I can point to incidents where I may have done so myself, I do not believe that these are under some kind of control of that individual, or that they are, in most cases, anything more than delusion or self-interest.

A DVA shrink once said to me that she bet the troops thought I was 'lucky' - perhaps not... but I could 'smell' things at times... but not always.  Sometimes as blind as a bat in full daylight.

Man has to know his own limitations....
