An update on my quest to bring SJWs to reason. I haven't managed to bring any across yet but I am developing quite a knack of defeating their arguments quickly, so I'll share some basics. They see truth as relative, which means to them truth moves around from your point of view, which makes them very difficult to reason with. They use relativist language, including strange definitions for many words, which means you'll argue in circles for a long time until you figure out they're talking about something entirely different. It's very important to keep an eye out for these words and try to define your words early or use different words. They struggle with categories. For instance "you're against immigration, Hitler was against immigration, therefore you're in favour of genocide." They make these categorical errors all the time and they're really easy to pick up on, and back them into a corner. They value people over truth. They base their morals around people and then come up with truth later, as opposed basing their morals on truth. I suspect this is why defeating them in debate doesn't affect them much. They may be incredibly intelligent but that doesn't help them reason. They can turn all their intelligence against reason. It's almost like somebody has set their brain to work against them. "The ends justify the means" is a common phrase you'll find in socialist literature. We all tend to project our values onto other people, so while libertarians like to read our own values of honesty and liberty into other people, it may not be there. And SJWs tend to read deception and dishonesty into us. Truth and honesty is the best policy and a good weapon against all this nonsense. The means are the ends, and there's no point in winning the culture wars if we give this up. They are deeply authoritarian. They don't believe in liberal democracy and open debate. I have made a few of them openly admit it, and it horrifies me. They know full well that progressives are running society even though they'll argue it's the other way. The main goal of a SJW in debate is to make his opponent accept their sense of guilt, either for being alive, or for being successful. Refusing to accept their guilt turns them very nasty. Because they turn nasty, the vast majority will pay lip service to SJW guilt publicly. So in their mind SJWs are used to winning emotional arguments even though the vast majority people think they lost the debate on rational grounds. There may or may not be much use engaging an SJW on rational grounds, the emotional argument is more important. Merely refusing to accept SJW guilt and giving reason why not is not winning the emotional argument in SJW eyes. In their eyes it's like giving up and refusing to stand for morals at all. That is not to say that we should accept their sense of guilt as our own, we shouldn't. We need to find another way to appeal to their emotions to win the argument. If you can debate your way to underlying beliefs and get them to be honest about it, it is really abhorrent. It's a bit like the end of Atlas Shrugged when the bad characters are revealed for who they are. It is a lot like the way Stephen Hicks explains in this video:

Don't expect reality to return anytime soon. Come the next crash they'll bring in helicopter money / universal basic income. That could keep the system going for another 20 years before John Galt takes over.

So all of this is over hate speech that never happened?

Intelligence is the ability to process information, find patterns, and come up with theories based on data. The sheer speed of artificial expert AI makes it better suited at those tasks than humans. A general AI will have the same advantages.

I was thinking of what I wrote this week and I believe that I've found the answer to that question. The country I live in has a false abundance of resources caused by a terrible socialist government that is building a huge dept to the unborn. In that environment, the r selection is favoured and this promotes a high level of promiscuity. Basically, everyone in my home town fucked like bunnies every occasion they got. It was easy to see that the kids in that environment were sexually active at a very young age. Many of us had a developed artistic side, and for the first part of my life, I spent it on music. So I went to get a BA in music. Later in life I had a lot of hardships and had to work hard to make my way in life and now I'm getting a BA in biochemistry. According to Stefan's presentation ''genes war''. Because of the abundance of resources and an uncertain future the level of cortisol of my mother while I was in the womb must have been high. This led to me having a very high level of testosterone, which pushed me to take risks and to reach puberty probably younger then normal kids. The level of testosterone diminishes with time, and the realities of life hits you in the face. The fact that you have to work hard for what you want to obtain in life promotes the K behaviour. I believe that today I'm half way between r and K. Anyways, thats the conclusion I reached. =)
