I like onions, onions don't like me. Ogres not so much, probably have there uses best kept from afar if possible. Well at the least you got some valuable skills from your father. I learnt and was taught no valuable skills, he would say driving, but I don't really drive. The plumbing and the electrical work, not so much with the rest. Besides if you can inflict murderous terror, further spanking is kind of unrequired. Not saying it is a good thing. Ethically it is wrong, but might raise conscientiousness as well as being expedient( which is very important in society), if done regularly. Perhaps using a cane for example. Yeah I guess probably best not to associate, wonder if it's why so many old people end up alone in a home.

Pretty sure dolphins, probably don't debate freewill. Becoming one with the Pineapple though....... As Mike Cernovich said on his website, no I'm not making this up. Look it up. I wouldn't be opposed to DMT or DMT 5-Meo. Probably would be interesting to have it legal, so could observe the effects on a wide scale. I think it's unreasonable(from my perspective) that its not legal really. Although over a decade a go though I'd probably have been in favor of the death penalty for illegal drug use, kind of like the golden triangle perhaps or N Korea. There has got to be underground human research, experiments being carried out there somewhere right? Why have animal testing facilities within access to the public? Why wouldn't there be something like Black Mesa? I think personality wise The "I think" INTP or ISTP is the most embodied. "A is A" the least. ENTJ or ESTJ. Not sure what a subconscious compatible personality theory would be. Have really looked much at Ennegram or DISC assessment, I find it helps to read the original author who it's based off of.

Like crabs in a bucket. Read on Wikipedia that the author (I.Q of 167) was inspired by Freud in his psychological outlook. The author being the Unabomber......., someone who targeted a computer store owner, pretty messed up. Although if he was looking to get his manifesto out there, he obviously suceeded. Given the technology that is out there even one person could do a huge amount of damage if sufficiently motivated, only heard about those ricin enevolopes through Stefan's recent video, although skipped through a chunk. Nothing on Sky News, more propoganda. With techonology the way it is not sure how anarchy would even work, when you may have just 1 nutter(although probably correct about a lot of things) with access to technology far more developed now. If China develops those 200 I.Q super babies, what going to be like Star Trek The Wrath of Khan??? Probably going to be huge bloodshed if things are built on blood, and territory not enforced. I wonder if terror and territory are some how related if not, they should be.

Nationalism will result in Balkanisation, I'm not saying that is a bad thing. Which means that regions would be under control of a local strongman or an Aristocrat in some form of confederate secular Aristocracy. As for a king the medieval age left kings antiquate and the Pope is a leftist. Why would it make any economic sense to keep some of the regions part of a greater union, it wouldn't. The internet allows for decentralization to a degree. Catalonia in Spain. California in USA. Quebec in Canada. London in England. Paris in London. Sarajevo & Kosovo in Serbia. Who ever has the weaponry will ultimately prevail. Who wants a nuclear armed Islamic France?

I have been watching the show from the beginning, thinking back I think I saw Stefan on RT. Should have taken more interest really, my family was never much for listening to the news or reading the paper, always kept mostly to themselves. All this cr*p that goes on. With technology, people should be able to put there feet most of the time and do hardly any work, should be a paradise on earth. I only really took him serious when he supported Trump, obviously much later duriing the election, I couldn't see how Clinton could make the Middle East & Africa even worse than it is, and then not support Trump really, I mean "look at the bones."

@PT Bergin No. But, oddly enough I was thinking about that recently. Perhaps because haven't heard it mentioned as much in the show. Sometimes when I've looked at criticism of Stefan on other forums, to see if there is anyone better out there, it's all ad hominem. I think fine, don't make an argument I don't care, but at least assert someone else better or different.

I don't like the subjective value that the free market often has, even if I agree that's how it functions with the Subjective theory of value of Austrian Economics. How utter cr*p can be super popular. I remember reading something about what Ayn Rand said about reading material, how somethings can be objectively proved to be superior or better in her words, but still not do as well as better material. Kind of like 5 minute philosophy videos with cartoons getting hundreds of thousands of views.

Surprised that Reddit is as popular as it is. I guess it's Meritocratic, with up and down votes, helping to define the thread exhibition. Antithetical to what I'm aiming at. At moment my best alternatives seem to be open source forum software. Would be good if there was an organisation that has done for website design, what freedomain radio has done for philosophy. Although kind of a win by default, in the case of FDR, with or without arguments.

Do I at least get company? "In space no one can eat icecream." Pretty pointless then.

Although if it is developed, wonder how likely it would be for us(or at least myself) peasants to get access to such technology.

As long as I have my mind, I'm not too fussed, could get used to it. In some ways it's better than Oblivion, so many galaxies that'll I'll never get/ be able to visit. Unless science develops consciousness or Ego preservation, through cloning and stem cells, then might be in for a chance.

Drifted so far from the original point. How does someone eradicate the idea of God. I suppose if things are going well doesn't really matter. In the absence of things going well. Why not some form of Iconoclasm taken further. Eradicate any mention of God, and all icons depicting religious figures. How would someone psychologically develop if they never even heard the idea or excuse of God?

I've looked at Reddit, I don't know how anyone even uses it, the formatting is awful imo. How can such a site be so popular. Facebook, don't like how it favours you always being signed in and knowing what everyone is doing, has had for breakfast, is in a relationship with what ever. Yeah I guess that's the thing, but I'm aiming at quality over quantity. Looking at someone like Tom Woods, his YouTube views always seem between 2,000 to 4,000 views. Maybe if I at least try and make it accessible, can pull a few people from generic philosophy forums which are garbage. Although I guess the YouTube or podcast things is a way to try and pull an audience. Mostly would like to provide enough value to at least cover the forum costs, which I'm guessing are negligible, although not insignificant. More about getting a base to work from. I don't want to be restrained by arbitrary terms & conditions. I suppose if you paid someone £5,000 or much much less, you could get a forum and domain pretty much there and then. Looking for a overall degree of control. Systematized Chaos.

I think that is a good approach, there is isn't any more in saying "this is a rose, and it exists." So perhaps a reductionist approach to truth. Not familiar with Bayes Theorem, although I have heard it mentioned a few times on the forum. Looking at Wikipedia, would you say it's an equivalent of a best guess? In which case then, belief itself could be coded into our DNA, in terms of our preferences towards others. I wouldn't say absolution, instead not relevant, kind of a “Begin as you mean to go on, and go on as you began, and let the Lord be all in all to you.”― Charles H. Spurgeon, All of Grace. But perhaps in a quest for perfection, if absolute certainty is impossible. Then how can we be certain about ethics itself? Although perhaps if "absolute certainty"(determinism) were possible, then truth would be impossible. Perhaps what it comes down to is who can sustain the longest stream of consciousness. A bit like rodeo cowboys playing cards in a bull ring.

If you did why would you have to say it? It's clear by your statement that you don't.
