Hi thinkers and alike, I highly recommend watching this movie. Mainly it's full of interesting scenarios and good directing, aside from some really dumb parts which I rather not go into in detail for spoiling the movie/influencing beforehand. I think all on this board could benefit from checking it out. Enjoy! For more information and probable spoilers: rotten tomatoes summary and data Barnsley p. s. (which scenario looks the most realistic to you?)

If human existence wasn't a mixture of linear time and 'bogged down-ness', we wouldn't be able to observe near identical patterns neither in the family unit, nor the extended ; the cultural realm and its even greater extension ; in society. ('who benefits' -> lie ->&/manipulation ->resistance <-force , propaganda ->prevention of 'free consideration'-> indoctrination 'en masse'->who benefits = same as with puberty and the challenge to authority, when it's met with force, rather than reason&evidence, superior arguments) We should see a greater devotion to discarding the 'loop', the 'dead end' in the here&now (I don't see it, do you?) and there should have been a near global abandonment of forceful interactions, be it for resources or for a set of beliefs that never contributed to more than the sustainment of a 'tribe' or a lineage a few thousands years ago. (being generous) No. Human existence might be physically linear but our history and our capacity definitely does not work within linear terms. (I'm not arguing it's worth, nor the implications just the 'mechanics')

@ticketybooWhen the available options are restricted (such as you put forward), to that small pool of choices(2)... I suppose I can see what YOU'd meant. Is it realistic? Doubt it. Regardless, I still wonder... [...] ... hence my initial question. (prefer to ask than theorise) i. e. a. "ethnicity and IQ" in what context? b. "this makes compelling evidence" for what?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Hi @ticketyboo Thanks. Something tells me it's not necessary to check it out. Maybe later.

Without appearing 'difficult' , I hope you can understand why I'm still not getting the point you might have been aiming to communicate. And I rather not 'put words in your mouth', hence my initial question. (prefer to ask than theorise) i. e. a. "ethnicity and IQ" in what context? b. "this makes compelling evidence" for what? Additionally: I suppose, you're going to add caveats soon, too, as probably (I'd assume) you wouldn't want to make a blanket statement about ALL individuals in Uganda. Or, maybe I'm wrong?

Hi @grithin (For clarification's sake...) The book and which author supposedly had a great influence on Bill Clinton and conspiracy theorists around the world?

Hi @J.L.W I asked you this Thanks for clarifying it. Do you also think that as long as something 'works', rules can be dismissed by individuals? to which you responded, with : I'm sorry but I can't figure out what your response was, though I can see you added new information/topics. Could you be more direct or rephrase your answer to my question if you did in fact respond to it? (naturally, only if you want to) Thanks

Hi @Person of Interest May I ask, what is the point that you are trying to communicate? Barnsley

A small snippet that won't be making sense unless you listened to/watched the full context. I highly encourage you did! Question 4: [2:52 :17 ] (Stefan Molyneux) " I don't lie... I don't lie, he tells the truth! [...] You've got a lot of power! You've got bodies in you! You've got death in your wake. When you've got death in your wake, You can blast awake. You understand, right?! ... you can jolt! Because you have the example of death now in a very vivid way! [...] If that's not enough to blast you sky high and to telling the truth, 'the f&ck are you saving the truth for? You gonna die either way... " Thank you for the clarity!

I did think I would have to back up this example. This came from a public figure who worked for a long period in this area. Suicide hotlines and had experience with drug rehabilitation. Unfortunately, of course I can't get more detailed information on the story. I could try and find it and re- read it for clarity. Right. It's not that I'm questioning your credibility, not at all (you gave me no reason so far).Additionally, I'd assume that you summarised the story adequately as well. It's not that. Here, I was trying to point out that stories involving people taking the initiative and using state power arbitrarily is the least, reinforces some perspectives where law enforcers (can) choose to 'be above the law', skip established procedures arbitrarily and by doing so chip away the credibility of the institution. RULES are very important! Even in Anarchy. I don't agree this was necessarily wielding of unfair state power. Since, we don't know the policeman did this in his capacity as policeman. Or that he would have to. What do you think about these : If he didn't do it as an officer, he's a criminal, should be prosecuted. (no self-defense arguments can apply) If he did it as an officer, it's much worse because he shouldn't have been part of the unit, plus his actions are detrimental to the reputation of the whole institution. (if you can't function within the regulations, you're risking your & your co-workers' safety, should have reported yourself or resigned before any of the happenings of the anecdote)

Hi, In my opinion, the anecdote you put forward has nothing to do with the NAP, given that threat was applied (+wielding unfair state power). Also, seemingly the person was allowed to sink so deep... (wink-wink, determinism) Where are the hundreds (or thousands) of people who, to various degrees, they too are guilty in one way or another? Why do THEY get a free pass? How's that preferable, 'fair'? What does your story say about prevention? Or there's no prevention and people either start disappearing or they escape and continue 'business as usual' because their mind's made up regardless? I don't believe in utilitarian arguments for their tendency to bend morals, skip further investigation especially in cases where 'simple solutions' appear 'reasonable', appeal to those that have power and that's all they need for convincing. Not good. Not sure anecdotes like this one would make me think of an imaginary policeman like you eluded to, a law abiding, respectable character... instead, it would reinforce a much worse...

Pertinent to this thread: In a nutshell, as pressure's mounting and Italy is seemingly standing its ground, miraculously (sarcasm) other European countries are beginning to find it increasingly important to review the role NGOs are playing in the mass-transportation of people from far-away lands. ° sources ° France's Spain's Italy&Malta's bonus link: "Spanish Students Given 24 Hours To Leave Dorms To Make Room For Aquarius Migrants"
