@RealKeriSmith I always loved your hilarious masking stories! Having a sense of humor about the absurdity of the situation helped make that whole crazy time little more bearable.
If you haven’t ever seen this, watch it. It is devastating. Thing is, Milton was routinely this devastating in debates. Always with a smile. Only James Q Wison could rival him (in my acquaintance) for extemporaneous fluency.
@RealKeriSmith@chicksonright Very cool, I look forward to watching it! I started following @chicksonright a few months ago and I appreciate that (unlike so many others) they haven’t compromised their values to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
i think a lot about that guy in the early 1900s who went to bosnia to the last illiterate communities in europe and found out they were still reciting homer epic-length poems to each other from memory.
but when they became literate they lost the ability to remember the poems
Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of a famous study where men and women were forced to play a card game against an opponent.
Their opponent then either cheated and stole money from the subjects; or cooperated and played fairly.
Afterwards, the men and women were strapped into an FMRI, and watched as their prior opponent received a painful electric shock.
For men, the brain produced an empathic response when the honest opponent was shocked. But it produced no empathy, and in fact showed signs of a pleasure when the cheater was shocked. Their empathy was conditional on how the opponent behaved.
But for women… The brain produced an empathic response for both types of opponents. It didn’t matter if they had been cheated by them prior, they wanted to alleviate everyone’s suffering regardless.
This is their greatest asset, it is the feminine divine. It is the reason why a mother’s love is unconditional.
It’s also the reason why you will be stabbed to death in a Walmart parking lot by a borderline retarded Haitian with 73 prior convictions.
Solo les quiero hacer recordar que este retrasado logro cancelar a Apu porque le parecía un estereotipo dañino y desde ese momento el estereotipo más normal de los indios se convirtió en que son violadores en potencia, retrasados que se mueren por tonterías y amantes de la mierda
@NotMikeHarlow I hate to admit it but at times he can be pretty entertaining. If you can get him to stop hating Jews and come out of the closet you might make a cute couple😆
