   OK. On topic of anti-intellectualism.

   I have noticed lately, that there is a consensus on both sides of the political divide, that there seem to be a HUGE problem with people refusing to reason. Anti-intellectualism seems to be the name of this trend.

   Well, the problem isn't exactly with the people refusing to learn, as much as with people adopting completely different view on what tools of learning seems to be valid.

   People on the left do believe in institutional construct of academic science. They LOVE posting names of old dudes who agreed with their current belief, as well as pointing to a definition, that was changed 1 week ago. When we raise to them the fact, that all of these institutions are bending the knee in fear of their wrath, I am not exactly surprised, that they see that as dishonest unprovable hypothesis. (So, no matter what scientific paper I bring, you will just say, that people making it were afraid to disagree with the mob? Ain't that convinient)

   On the other hand, the right does LOVE to use the common logical shortcuts. Rules like "No medication can be called 100% safe and effective by definition" are not written in any science jurnal, but their application does lead to an ability to form a solid world view long before information can go through a peer review, and are also completely free of any need for an authority to confirm them. Yet, when we come to a leftie with a 6 step logical chain, they look at us as loonies, since not a single one of these steps is formalized in an academic style. (Do you have a paper, saying that castrating kids will lead to a worse luck in finding a life partner????)

   So, that means, that maybe, the time for constructive debate might be completely over. We no longer live in the same world, and no way of communication can bridge these two worlds.

     This rant was brought to you by Moist Critical.

     He was asked if he supports kids getting castrated. He anwsered YES.

     Later, when he saw the backlash, he said "but I thought, it was not a real question".

     Bruh..... BRUUUHHHHH....
     What the fuck do you think the entire transgender debate is about? Someone asked you about the edge case, because he was trying to find your line.

     Some people are truly retarded.

     @LukeAlmighty it's even more retarded than that. He lied about the question he was answered. He was asked first about hrt for children, agreed, then was asked about dick snipping for children, and agreed. THEN he said in a video after all the backlash "I don't agree with dick snipping until they're older and he just came out swinging with that so I thought he was being hyperbolic!"

     @LukeAlmighty it's because they think that it's 100% reversible until you get the surgery. Even if it is, which I'm not sold on, can you reverse the damage done on someone's mind/life? The process of detransitioning is a bitch and a half too. It's a lot of strain to put on a grown adult, let alone a child, and that's why I think it's abuse. If someone wants to make an active decision that will put strain on them and their relationships they should have to wait until adulthood so that we know for sure that they are the ones taking full accountability.

     @Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty none of these people have ever tried to quit their anti depressants and it shows. Even something like that FUCKED me up hardcore several years after I stopped taking them (not to mention being on them to begin with). I don't understand how people can be so flippant about it. Anything that messes with your body and especially your brain's natural processes is going to suck and really is a drastic measure that should only be taken in dire circumstances.

     @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter good news is we are adults and we can make that decision for ourselves. Ideally, we are also responsible enough to know when to stop drinking, and accountable/aware enough to understand that anything we do while drinking is still our fault.

     I know that alcohol typically makes me really sleepy, so I usually will only drink a tiny amount socially and also a tiny bit to help sleep rarely. Never mix it with caffeine or painkillers either. The concept of a 4loko is insane to me, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

     @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter pretty much the only difference is that i get sleepy lol. everything else is dependent on environment and situation but that's with or without the alcohol. if i'm around my buddy, who is a super giggly drunk, even if i'm totally sober i'll get giggly with him. the only time i don't really fit into an environment is when it gets to be like the whole dudebro frat shit or like rave/party shit.

     i wouldn't even say i necessarily get "drunk" because i reach the sleepy stage before that and don't want to do anything anymore xD

These issues aren't irreconcilable. The fact that they're our enemies and need to be destroyed is the issue. And, that they're our enemies for no good reason makes their already disgusting position even more objectionable. They have been turned against their own. That is the truth.

     If you cannot even confirm that lying about something as blatant as 100% safe and 100% effective undermined the trust in both political establishment and scientific community without immediately going "but muh holocaust", then you are not capable of arguing on principles. All you debate for is some stupid team sports.

     Of course I believe, that there was a push for lockdown, that later got renamed to push for 15 minute cities, after the total lockdowns failed.

     And again, I can reason about it, but sorry, I don't have a jew approved scientific paper about it.

     So, what is the point of this "15minute cities" project? A city structure, that allows you to have all needed necessities within 15 minute distance.

     Do you have any idea what a city looks like? Within 15 minutes, I have 5 cinemas, 20 shopping malls, 6 gyms, 2 train stations... Evety city is a 15 minute city. You do not need a camera infrastructure and post covid push for that idea.

     It is safe and effective, not 100% but only a salesman would say such a ridiculous thing, as not even water is 100% safe. But the vaccines are much safer than covid-19.
     
     I never appealed to the holocaust only affirmed it happened and had it's denial as an example of a widely propagated lie I can blame the masses for propagating.
     But if you'd misread my comment that way I take it you also think "15 minute cities" are not about pedestrianised cities, but rather are about a NWO control grid, in which case you are the type of loon that is immune to reason.

     Nah... It was the governments saying that. Not just some salesmen. And this historic revisionism is getting way too old really fast.

     BTW, what exactly is your problem?
     I wrote my idea on the topic as clearly as I could only for you to call me immune to reason, because I didn't shit on people who might have a different worries in life then you.

     Yet, all you actually wrote so far was: But muh holocaust. But muh 15 minute cities. You cannot even address that the claim of safe and effective was being pushed on people as a scientific fact.

     Do you SERIOUSLY not understand, how that undermined the trust in scientific community to it's core?

     Any concrete examples?

     There is a whole scientific literature on the systematic failures of the peer review model colloquially known as The Replication Crisis.

     I think it's fair to say people smugly clapping back with "trust the science" who lack sufficient epistemic depth to even be aware of the replication crisis, much less have a cogent response to its salient critiques are just engaged in vapid sloaganeering, not intellectual discourse.

     I think Luke's point is that for some of us, the replication crisis papers merely confirmed (and to be fair, quantified) what was already clear from Feynman's Cargo Cult Science model.

     I don't think this is the defining cleft between right and left, I find Haidt's moral foundations theory to be persuasive. But it is the case that broad swaths of 'the left' are actively out-grouping anyone who strays from strict ideological conformity. So people like dave rubin and barri weiss who were firmly on the left until they used an independent mental model to go "now hold on, that doesn't really make sense" got completely exercised from the left and painted as "far right" despite having 90+% policy alignment with the median 2012 Obama voter.

     Heidy had to be dragged by gunpoint to even admit libertarians exist. Not yo mention, that his new pet project is "muh phones bad".

     Don't get me wrong, I know he's 10 times smarter then I am, but I think his research is nice example of result oriented research, where he doesn't bother looking into a topic, unless he already has a clear result in mind.

     @nicholas @latein @LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired There's also a simpler rationalist issue: there's a chain of trust that starts at you, you have to decide who and what to trust and if you can't use your own head to make judgements you can't reasonably conclude that the experts are worth trusting

     True, but in fact it's even simpler than that:

     Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

     @beardalaxy @Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty I don't think people on SSRI's know the extent to which they're living in a chemically guarded reality bubble. I was a run of the mill young turks enjoyer before getting off of them, I began the serious red pilling after my withdrawal. I couldn't sleep for like 7 months and was confronted with a tsunami of emotional information I had been suppressing. I am proud I got off of them, and survived, and was made stronger. These people are pathetic pussified zombies.

     @beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty My own views have changed quite a lot over the past few years, and a part of that is because I hadn't bothered to think through some of them in a while. The more viscerally grotesque things like transgenderism I was never on board with, but I had a lot of liberal ideological thought terminating points to get through. Sometimes it takes people challenging—even bullying—to look more critically into things you just took as true and hadn't revisited. Thankfully nobody pays me for my takes, so I can do this without appearing to be a shill or chameleon, and I've discovered what a lot of my actual beliefs and lines in the sand are from arguing.

     Well, for me the worst part is, that I am slowly growing to be synpathetic towards them.

     Not in a sense that they are correct, but more in a sense of looking at a sick person screaming in pain. It is obvious from me talking to troon friends that they have been all through the same hell as I have. In a society where gender roles have been bent over the chair and fucked senseless, there is no wonder, that literally noone feels ok in their bodies.

     But at this point, what the hell is one supposed to do, when you see them pushing this insanity forwards anyway, even though, it is activelly ruining their lives?

     @LukeAlmighty the problem is that if you voice that to them they get pissed off because being trans isn't a disorder to them, it's just an identity.

     i learned this frame 1 back in like 2013. the only acceptable way to be outwardly sympathetic is to just agree with them on everything.
