Good stuff. The point about only seeing the bro's in films and rarely if ever in real life rings true for me. I think American Pie was an important film in this respect. Also, the knocked-up, stoner type films where a young irresponsible man is made better by performing drunken sex and living with the consequences. Now, there's ambition!!! ;-p I have watched and read alot about feminism etc over the past few months and it's not something I want to expose myself to anymore, especially the popular, attention-grabbing, cashola-generating nonsense in blogs etc. However, there is an aspect I came across recently re: the psychology of feminists, in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4I7LhnuWkA&index=150&list=WL The issue of the animus/anima integration is something I would like to see explored, so it might be an idea for a video at some point? Coming at it from this aspect is much more gratifying and constructive for me. I feverishly await further content!!! ;-)

As regards government and taxes etc., this is a zero-sum game with a middle-man taking a cut and spinning the plates. IMO, the future of CBA will centre on things like EIA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_assessment ) under the overarching structure of Agenda 21 and "Our Common Future". Once you start digging around and learning about this stuff, it (for me at least) becomes a mind-f*ck. There are alot of conspiracy theories espoused about Agenda 21 etc. There shouldn't be IMO, as it's all there in black and white, total central-control and administration. The "officials" of the old Soviet Union will now be "professionals" with a valuable signature that allows people to proceed in their endeavours in business or life in general. All scientifically based of course. In my experience, the vast majority of people have no idea about any of this stuff except of course for the "sustainability" initiatives they come in contact with in schools. This would be worth ten shows from FDR IMO. Governments will be old-hat, this is the end-game as far as I can see. Happy reading!!!

Increasingly, I actually think feminism is useful for me. In terms of elucidating how people act under different social conditions towards one another, it has been invaluable to me. Finding out what people are like is very difficult if they have another to blame for their behaviour. Anything that lifts the veil is to be welcomed IMO.

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/gender-imbalances-in-the-classroom-and-all-the-way-up-1.2067438 Read this the other day, the language used to describe male and female performance is interesting. For example: "Boys are underperforming in school. Girls are making big strides and achievements in education, but women are massively under-represented in senior work roles and in third-level academia. ", "Girls are still winning more college places but boys dominate engineering." And, related to the above, : "“Girls were invariably categorised as calm, pliable, timid, mature, focused, ‘tale tellers’ and easier to discipline,” says Devine. “Boys, by contrast, were spoken of as lively, boisterous, energetic, competitive, show-offs, spontaneous and potentially disruptive.”"

Molyneux mentioned in this. Yes, we are all insane, I tells ya!!! http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-21/if-you-question-authority-you-are-mentally-ill-report-finds Only the Sheeple Are SaneThis post is about an issue that is by now a bit dated (though the topic as such certainly isn’t), but we have only just become aware of it and it seemed to us worth rescuing it from the memory hole. In late 2013, the then newest issue of the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM for short) defined a new mental illness, the so-called “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD. As TheMindUnleashed.org informs us, the definition of this new mental illness essentially amounts todeclaring any non-conformity and questioning of authority as a form of insanity. According to the manual, ODD is defined as: […] an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance, argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed. In short, as Natural News put it: According to US psychiatrists, only the sheeple are sane.

I saw the first half hour or so of that Sandra Bullock movie in space. If I remember correctly, at one point she takes off untethered away from the spaceship. This article reminded me of this for some reason. As regards gift-giving, just give blowjobs. Easy.

If you were offered the option of taking 1 billion US dollars to swop you life for the life of an-other SJW (you would become them, forget your former self and take on their persona and beliefs), would you: a) Take the offer or refuse? b) What is your reason(s) for taking the offer or refusing? c) What would taking the offer or refusing it (you only have this decision to go on) suggest about your psychology and/or personality?

Well done, I really enjoyed that, straight and to the point. I remember reading a Chopra or Chopra-like book that used the quote: "I am not of the world, the world is of me". This had a big effect on me at the time and combined with the concept of the soul and other factors gave me permission to suffer inordinately surrounded by assholes. I welcome the coming of the anti-Chopra!!! Also, Kevin said boobies ;-P

Definition of nurture: 1. to feed and protect: to nurture one's offspring. 2.to support and encourage, as during the period of training or development; foster:to nurture promising musicians. Why would nurturing involve peaceful means? Rearing is primarily to raise the likelihood of survival. Happiness is a possibility if survival is achieved. Brutal childhoods were a means to an end, an innoculation against the likely future environment and a desensitisation. The peaceful parenting approach is likely only a possibility and a capability for a small percentage of the planets population in 2015, never mind the past. Peaceful parenting is an adaptation to the current conditions of the species. It is an effort to ensure the future existence of the species because the old ways will simply lead us to ruin. As long as women can brutalise their children with the notion that it will be advantageous to their survival or because they or too dumb to see the difference, they will continue to do so. Raising children in a rational and loving manner is the kernel of hope for the future and I think it will be championed by men, not women. A look at the profile of those on this forum is circumstantial evidence in this regard but what else do we have to go on?

Sometimes I think about child-rearing like this: it is preparing the child for the reality of the adult world they will have to operate in. Therefore, for most of human history, perhaps brutalising your child and turning them into a monster was necessary to their survival. This is why peaceful parenting is a revolutionary act because it is trying to prepare a child for a future that will be shared with brutalised, traumatised adults.

Interesting. I've thought about the FDR line of thinking as the opposite of the "the ends justify the means" truism, namely that " the means justify the ends". I think it comes down to whether merit and free association and ones actions constitute a basis for how society can self-organise. I see this as dynamic and flexible in that whatever the challenges at any one particular time, the individual that adapts and can solve challenges creatively will thrive. The leftist position IMO is a kind of religion with a concept of the equality akin to the soul. All are equal therefore all outcomes should be equal. Any deviation from this is due to inequality and this is discrimination. In the "economic-cycle" that has developed, governments are always fighting the previous downturn while trying to have equal outcomes via welfare. The static nature of this system ensures the next "downturn" and on and on. In terms of systems I have come to view the former as steady state of equilibrium with winners and losers and creaion and destruction, the latter a system where the transition state swings on a pendulum from austerity to prosperity. The current situation with QE etc is using extreme methods to hold the transition state in prosperity, but the system will always correct. The communists take human nature out of the equation altogether and view everything as a plan to be made and carried out. This is just another way of holding the equilibrium in a fixed position that will eventually correct. A thought that came to yesterday was: If you are living your life to a recipe, what are you? Is not creativity the fundamental human higher aspiration? Is the problem with life that there are too few challenges that require creativity? Uncertainty begets creativity. In the absence of uncertainty, we create it in order to necessitate creativity. I think this links in with the previous stuff: there can never be a utopia, nor can people bear a utopia. Without uncertainty and the necessity for creativity, what's the fucking point?

One of the things I looked out for when seeing the film was the crowd reaction to two events near the end. I had been clued in as what to expect. The events were the time when the female lead murders the rich guy (I'll remember this scene for a long time) and then the time when the male lead pushes her against a wall forcefully but not dangerously IMO. The reaction to the first was quiet, the second was gasping.

Cheers for clearing that up for me Kev...I don't know how I could have misinterpreted that.

The percentages must be the annual pay increments for public workers. All based on efficiencies of course...;-0

This reminds me of an event when I was 12-13. Up to 13, boys and girls were mixed in the sport I played, so occasionally there would be a girl on the opposing team. We were playing a "friendly" game where one of the opposing locals was the referee. One of my team was carrying the ball and getting hit from behind fairly brutally and illegally from an opposing player that happened to be a girl. He didn't look back, just threw an arm back to retaliate, so I know he didn't know it was a girl. He made contact to her face and she started wailing and crying. The referee stopped the game, rushed over and lifted the young chap off the ground by the neck, screaming into this face that you should never hit a girl. Men have peniseses, some men rape women with their penis, therefore all men are potential rapists, therefore any characteristics of a man in physiology, behaviour, instinct etc that differs from women is a characteristic of a rapist, therefore maleness must be controlled, minimised, eradicated etc. to remove the threat to women. About right? I have seen reports lately that Denmark consistently appears near the top of the "happiness" index. It has a birthrate per woman of 1.73. http://www.nature.com/nrendo/journal/v5/n3/full/ncpendmet1077.html "In Denmark, 20% of all young men are estimated to have severely decreased semen quality as a consequence of reduced sperm concentration.1 The effect of abnormal spermatozoon morphology on fecundity is another parameter that suggests poor semen quality. Fecundity decreases when the percentage of normal forms falls below 9%. In one study, only 31% of young Danish men had levels of morphologically normal spermatozoa above 9%." "Male reproductive health disorders, including impaired semen quality, testicular cancer, cryptorchidism and hypospadias, seem be on the rise in many European countries.6 These conditions are associated with testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS)—a condition of fetal, developmental origin in which environmental factors are the most important determinant.7 Many different groups of chemicals (e.g. phthalates and pesticides) are now emerging as 'endocrine disruptors,' and have antiandrogenic or antiestrogenic effects that might affect semen quality." http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Glyphosate_Roundup_and_Human_Male_Infertility.php Steep decline in human male sperm count concomitant with rise in testicular germ cell cancer, congenital malformations of the male reproductive tract and drop in serum testosterone levels, all pointing towards increasing exposure to glyphosate/Roundup herbicides during the past decades, now corroborated by lab findings Dr Mae-Wan Ho "Testosterone, the male hormone, is the major driver of male reproductive development and function. Suppression of its levels within the adult testis shuts down spermatogenesis and induces infertility. Studies of men with idiopathic infertility – for which the cause is unknown - and low sperm counts often show evidence of abnormal Leydig cells, which produce testosterone in the testis." !The researchers found that brief exposure to Roundup at 36 ppm (0.036 g/L) for 30 minutes was sufficient to induce oxidative stress (a failure of energy metabolism, see later) and activate multiple stress-response pathways leading to cell death in the pre-puberty rat testis. The team concluded [8]: “Altogether, the Ca2+-mediated disturbances by glyphosate-Roundup in rat testis cells around 36 ppm, could contribute to the reproductive effects observed in male agricultural workers exposed to this pesticide at prepubertal age.” " http://bmb.oxfordjournals.org/content/68/1/47.full "All four conditions of the testicular dysgenesis syndrome show some degree of heritability. This is compatible with the idea that they are linked. Heritability of subfertility may at first sight appear to be impossible: a ‘gene for infertility’ is surely impossible, on evolutionary grounds, as it would quickly be eliminated. (Theoretically, this would not apply if the heterozygous state of a recessive gene carried some advantage, but evidence from a Hutterite population is that inbreeding is unrelated to male fertility60.) An alternative explanation is, however, possible. In a steady state, a balance would exist between selection against polymorphisms that impair fertility and their de novo creation as a result of genetic damage. As there is nothing to constrain these two processes to be equal, new damage could occur at a rate greater than elimination, leading to an increase in incidence. The same argument applies, but with less strong elimination, to testicular cancer, hypospadias and cryptorchidism, which are associated with subfertility, and which show evidence of heritability." Once the "threat" is removed entirely and we're all "equal", perhaps we'll all be as "happy" as the Danes?

The truth needs not to be respected because paying attention to the truth is sane.

What is really needed is an algorithm to run the whole show. Everything would run swimmingly according THE PLAN. To take advantage of this, I recommend investing in barb wire and Siberian real-estate. And candles.

An article dealing with the issue of autism and the use of Monsanto Roundup. I find it particularly interesting as it mentions the effect on gut bacteria and amino acid synthesis. Worth a look. http://www.anh-usa.org/half-of-all-children-will-be-autistic-by-2025-warns-senior-research-scientist-at-mit/print/

Hahahahahahahhahahaha........oh, the irony. I really hope Rogan is being paid as a percentage of profits.

Thanks for that. One thing that always puzzled me has been the serious rise in obesity. I've seen pictures from back when my old man was a youngster and they were all lean and ate more or less anything including massive amounts if red-meat and butter. Now, I see folks on "low-fat" foods and the appearance has changed somewhat. Also, I have avoided almost all starches cooked in high temp lately. Only boiled starches and I think this has been very beneficial.

Wishing you all a happy SJW christmas Ahem Victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh what fun it is to be an SJW to-day, Oh Victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh what fun it is to be an SJW to-day, Burning through state cash, In a man-drawn open-sleigh, Over mens graves we go, Laughing all the way, Rape in chorus we sing, Making manginas to fright, What fun it is to lie and spin, A slimers song to-night, Oh, victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh what fun it is to bash patriarchy to-day, Oh victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh what fun is pat-reon for an SJW today, A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride, And soon miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by an editors side, The man was hipster lean and lank, Misfortune was his lot, He got herpegonosiphilaids, And then he got a shot, Oh, victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh how lucrative for an SJW to-day, Oh, victim hell, victim hell, victim all the way, Oh what a free-ride it is to be an SJW to-dayyyyy.

Hordoftheflies, what is your view on fat in general. Currently, I am limiting carbs to 80% recommended, getting necessary protein and eating approx 1.3 times the recommended fat intake. I get the fats mainly from nuts, seeds, sardines, eggs and avocado aswell as greek yogurt. I feel alot better on this diet, training is better, digestion feels better. I am concerned about long term effects though.

As regards general health, more and more I am tending toward diet as the most important factor. I have noticed a consistent trend among amateur sports players here that stop playing in their mid-thirties and end up obese with all-sorts of health-complications in the nest 15-20 years. They have gotten used to a certain high-energy diet and fecklessness with their nutrition while partaking in sport and then the game changes completely and they don't adapt. Other than that, what the paleos advocate of everyday task exercise is a good addition. I do weights and walking/jogging/hiking. When I used to do tree-felling I was fairly ripped and eating enough of anything to keep the weight on and in condition was the problem. Other than that, I think gardening or log-splitting to a sweat can be quite rewarding while serving a dual-function. As regards women and body-type/form vs clothes, I think the clothes are the main determinant in attraction in general. That has been my experience. It is just a small component though, but an important one.
