      Let's say, and I am saying, that in the human species for every 100 females 105 males are born. They are. And since men don't die in wars that much anymore, there is a consistent and rising disparity in male/female numbers. Now, these statistics are skewed by the fact that females live a lot longer, and in the older demographic, they are probably over 75%. Now, I took some UN data and restructured it so that it showed that for the marrying age males, there are 70 million of man more than women in the world today. It will get even worse as time goes by since children are even more often male than female (more than a 5% difference). What if WW3 is an actual demographic necessity needed to reset the demographic balance every 80 or so years. What if the oversupply of men is creating more pressure in society, and maybe not even from men, but from women, since they can now pick and choose and they are becoming overly confident and aggressive and they request males to be pure alfa-level, macho, harsh and dominant. Just a theory, so tell me what you think. 😛

    Christianity DOES NOT say all people are equal (in the sense of intellect, ability, or morals), it says all people are equally valuable to God (which they are).
    Nor does it say all people should have equal authority to make societal decisions.
    Almost every single person who dislikes Christianity or points out its "flaws" gets some really key things wrong. My guess is they learn about it from other peoples' writings or culture.

      Amen brother. They also don't realize they get all of their subconscious ideas about morality from Christian theology. We are literally living in a meta TV show like the Simpsons or something, the amount of contradictory ideas and cognitive dissonance that's spreading in the air is actually insane. I can almost sense it as physical stimuli. I can also sense the battle between good and evil, more clearly than ever. The left is progressively (haha get it) becoming more insane and they have no shame about it. I feel like we're at a critical juncture in human history right now.

    I did my undergrad in psych (~80% female; profs are 80-90% left-leaning per Jon Haidt) at one of the most liberal colleges in the US. It was incredibly jarring to watch the cognitive dissonance and doublethink among many people there. They would sit through a class discussing twin studies, heritability of IQ, mental disorders, annual income (all >=50%), then outside class legitimately believe that gender or intelligence are social constructs, but then also get the questions correct on tests. There's this implicit but unrecognized belief that everything about a human is genetically influenced, except the human brain, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
    Non-psych humanities was even worse, because people just believe obviously incorrect things like "The way math is taught is sexist, because women score lower on math tests." Ignoring that most teachers are women, why would you ever believe this without hard evidence. At the time, no one actually believed that men and women had equal physical abilities, nor that men could menstruate, yet they would suggest that men and women "should" have identical mental abilities as if it was as self-evident as "the sky is blue."
    The beliefs in (1) inherent equality, (2) the inevitability of progress, and (3) the perfectibility of human nature, requires them to disbelieve their own lying eyes. Truly, the only thing I can liken it to is when Winston Smith is editing headlines in the Ministry of Truth, and describes doublethink as the ability to forget what must be forgotten, yet be able to draw it back into memory when needed, and then forget it once again.

      #1 & #2 were afterthoughts that I did not address directly. Disregard on that basis, if you must. That said...
      1.
      Leftist thought generally presumes that equality exists across a myriad objectively measurable human traits. Non-exhaustive examples: IQ/intelligence, aptitude for a variety of fields, earnings & earnings potential, rates of mental disorders, and softer things like political beliefs and religious tendencies. ALL of these things have shown significant genetic heritability in twin studies. Yet at both the individual level (e.g. my math skills vs. yours), or group levels (men's vs. women's average math skills), the general belief and assumption is that people and groups should be equal in all of these ways, and when they aren't, it must be due to social conditioning. The belief in the tabula rasa ("blank slate") essentially *requires* that they believe that in general, humans emerge from the womb equally capable in all areas. There is no reason to believe, much less assume, that this is the case.
      2.
      Well, that's just it. A core belief that defines leftist worldviews in that progress is good, in and of itself. In general they overvalue the upsides changing the status quo, and undervalue the risks. Progress (or change, if you prefer) has never been a guaranteed good. Animal Farm was a satire of the Russian Revolution, and all the good progress did for the farm animals. "Progress toward...?" is not a question that leftist philosophy tends to feel compelled to answer before pushing for progress anyway; the goodness of progress is dogmatically taken as a given, not something that must be proven. They believe that change will necessarily bring about improvement because...
      3.
      Leftist thought fundamentally believes that human nature is good, left to its natural course. To your point, suggesting that human nature can be *optimized* ("bring the best out of people"), which I agree with, is NOT the same as human nature being good and perfectible. Leftist thought believes that, for example, under a communist system, enough people to support a society will still become doctors rather than baristas, even though you've removed much of the structure that incentivizes it. They believe that even though there it is possible to not contribute to the society yet reap benefits, not enough people will do this to matter. That once everyone is equal, no animal will ever try to be more equal than the others. They believe this because they believe it is fundamentally within human nature to be good and forego self-serving behavior. Read up on Lynsekoist biology if you doubt that leftists ACTUALLY believe this; Lysenko, loved by Stalin, pushed the theory that if you densely planted crops, plants that had enough nutrients would stop taking more, so that the other plants could get what they needed. This led to crop failures.
      I do not believe these things. I believe that I got a B+ in social psych despite never having time to study for it, because I just guessed the answers that boiled down to "people will do whatever benefits them most, so long as no one is looking." I believe that, in general, humans will only forego self-serving inside systems that incentivize it; for example, I support capitalism because it is the only economic system that works best when people compete with each other, which people can be counted on to do. So I turn this back around on you: do you actually believe that humans are inherently good, or just that they can be made to act good under the right circumstances?

    The accusation of "pseudo science" carries no weight anymore, as it rightly can be rationalised away as just another rhetorical powerplay. If you want to undermine critical theory, epistemologically, you need to understand the obsession with power. Henceforth, all knowlegde construction is viewed through a power lens, which justifies the focus on emanicaption. Here the inherent flaw, is that it is never explained of who decides who the opressed/opressors are. These categories are take on religious faith, and there the mere suggestion that there could be criticism here, becomes an accusation of opression, revealing the circularity in the logic.

      True and the sad thing is that men, who are the controllers of violence and the best at it have also seemingly forgotten how to deal with it civilly. For violence forms all laws as society is based on the willingness of men to withhold it. When two men argue they do so up to the point of being able to assess the other willingness to take things to the next stage. Social systems are built up around this. It's where the word "respect" comes from and has nothing to do with women at all. Showing "respect" to another man is to honour his capability and first in that list is his capacity to do you harm.

      There's a good reason stories like the Tower of Babel cropped up in basically every culture; there's a universal truth to them. Other stories like the Flood might better be thought of oral historical records since they have an absurd level of uniformity to them. Oral traditions can keep a coherent story intact for a LONG time, we see this with the Iliad and Odyssey. Now that the Troy of those stories has been found and excavated, it's thought by some experts that the Trojan war of the stories refers to the Mycenean layer of Troy, so they're stories from the Bronze Age Collapse and over 500 years older than the "classical" greek period of writers like Herodotus. So oral storytelling can easily keep a complex story intact for many centuries before diverging. The story of the Flood, as ubiquitous as it is in numerous mythologies, is probably thousands of years old, potentially going back to the end of the last Ice Age when sea levels last rapidly rose globally. There's more truth buried in our myths and stories than academia has wanted to admit for a long time.

One wage earner could support a family, buy a house, one car, and send children to religious school if desired. There wasn’t much difference in standard of living between unionized workers (there were many) and college graduates (far fewer than now). As an early teen, I was surprised to learn the USA controlled a hugely disproportionate share of the world’s economic output and gold reserves. I thought “This can’t last”. It didn’t as the rest of the world recovered from WWII.

    Let me be clear, I am not a marxist. I am an anti-marxist by a lot. That being said, I think you are sorely mistaken in claiming marxist is solely materialistic. Marxism is extremely mystical by pretending to be purely materialist version of hegelianism. I highly reccommend checking out TIKHistory on youtube's videos relating to this as he explains, from a very similar position as you, that marxism is extremely mystical in pretending to be purely materialistic. These ideas of reality being constructed by perception is very similar to esoteric religions of the past because these esoteric religions went on to inform hegel and marx. As we live in a predominantly marxist/liberal hybrid society today, they have created a synthesis once again akin to that of hermeticism, using the dialectic as hegel does. These 'sciences' that provide 'evidence' for reality not being locally real come from the same marxist "the science" style of academics. NOT from a real form of study using the scientific method. These proofs are very manipulative in the same way you describe pseudo-science. It becomes hard to tell if their evidence is real due to their obfuscating methodology.

      Thank you, I agree, Rudyard needs to check out TIK and these two need to smash their brains together. The insane suicide cult of the left makes perfect sense when viewed thro their mystic religion. They're a gnostic cult and gnostics believe the material world is a lie, reality isn't real and that if they could cause the Matrix to "crash" we'd all wake up in utopia/ merge souls and form the true god, ect. They are an outright religion, still a death cult, but they're honest belief in the destruction of reality makes sense when you understand the religious background of their ideology.
      These two REALLY need to combine their theories. Rudyard needs to get the paradigm that the left is materialistic/atheist and that the Nazis are "right wing" out of his model and TIK needs to accept that Christianity's focus on study of the material world is why we even have science and Objectivism. TIK ironically proves Rudyards thesis that all humans need a religion of some sort by gravitating to Randian Objectivism, which as Ayn Rands later detractors right pointed out of her, had become a cult of personality. Probably the least problematic one, but still developed a quasi-religious flair. TIK needs to get over his assumption that religion is the source of all problems (like mystic cults) the same as Rudyard needs to get over his assumptions about the WWII political doctrines. We need the specialist and the generalist to come together, combine their theories and see the flaws and biases in their own niche parts of the subject.

They begin to whisper to you, to encourage you, to question whether that action you're thinking about taking is worth it or does it make you a better person (Aristotle's "magnanimity principle" sits with me always when it comes to any size or type of choice).

    There is a flaw here. Equality is important. Too much inequality destroys everything. The real problem is “equality” is not what is being promoted but inequality and a power agenda by a group seeking control. History shows that inequality leads to revolution and war. A proper balance must be maintained. As it says in The Bible, “to whom much is given, much is required” and “all things in moderation”. Wisdom for the ages.

Literally a system based on the individuals capabilities, not equality. The reason you think equality is necessary is because you forget that most people in power, do not deserve to be in power, and most people who can handle power well, will never be in said positions.

    No, people are not most motivated by sex in and of itself but by intimate relations which will no doubt also contain sexual relations but also companionship, emotional support and most importantly a family unit.

    • @excalibro8365

      I get what you're saying but you can't separate sex from intimate relations. Lust is an inherent part of romantic love. It is the difference between being just friends and being a romantic couple. It is a fundamental part of being a human, and its derivates such as families and children are in my opinion the main driver of what gets the world moving. Remove sex from the equation and the world will collapse overnight.

      @excalibro8365 intimate relations aren't always romantic relationships. For example people have intimate relationships with their parents and children. Intimate doesn't equal sexual. Intimacy denotes a closeness of the relationship or a deep understanding of one another. The definition has nothing to do with sex. Only in our modern day world has intimacy come to mean only sexual relationships. In other words, I'm saying our world moves and operates on relationships between people. All relationships.

    History as a field has already decayed a lot because of revisionism. Anthropology might as well be dead because the current ideas dominating the field are just assumptions that came out of the blank slate argument and that progress must always trend towards liberalism (any other direction is just called regressive). Psychology is easily the most suspect field ever since, since psychology is an entire field composed off wild assumptions of people who assumed with enough methodology they could basically read thoughts and predict behaviors, and that humans are some sort ot machine which will output x if it gets y as an input. Whats worse, it has infected psychiatry to the point doctors are giving the same medicine to people of different ethnic backgrounds because equality must remain a constant in any field, apparently, even when it causes harm to people.
