The Flood / The problem with identity politics and callout culture
« on: October 28, 2018, 06:49:43 AM »
How does one go about dealing with criticisms when other people make them of you? The problem lies in two diametric tendencies in human beings - one which simply wishes to impose their will, and one which seeks answers through reason and is not convinced by dogmatic group think and persuasion. I don’t always agree with the criticisms other people make of me, and I feel like when they come up, debating them often makes the situation turn poor - people who simply wish to -make- you agree with them, which is why it makes me anxious. But also if you simply agree with someone when you don’t actually agree simply to end the discussion, then it turns out bad later because they see you were just lying. So there’s a dilemma.

The issue I have with identity politics is I don’t think what qualifies as problematic to one is necessarily true or an accurate analysis of the other people. Regardless of if it is, the mode of dogmatic “callout” where one person simply wishes to impose their view on another is not conducive to understanding. This is difficult with any political circle, and in particular the left wing circles I have visited. It’s just my personality to argue if I disagree because I am convinced through rationality, not dogmatism and peer pressure; but when it comes to identity politics, often arguing will make the situation worse. I am totally opposed to making things worse. Because of my personality, I love calm, detached, logical discussions about stuff. Sometimes I feel like an alien observer looking down on human beings. I think the opposite of this personality would be one which seeks order through group agreement.

The problem with these two diametrical personalities is the philosophical approach conflicts with the orderly one. I have noticed in these sorts of situations when I try to explore the reasons why someone might think I am being problematic, I tend to find that people get more intense and more righteous the more I disagree. They may say that it’s not their job to educate you, or they will “educate you” without allowing themselves to be questioned. I’ve had experiences with people in the past where minor things led to them getting really upset at me. I dread those sorts of encounters. There’s been times where someone points something out to me and I realize I’m wrong before, but there’s also times that I simply don’t agree.

When identity politics is synthesized with the orderly personality, it becomes Orwellian; there is no longer room for freedom of opinion and open ended discussions. The goal is simply to tell you you’re wrong, without question. As someone who very much values the conclusions which I’ve arrived on my own, when people start telling me I need to “get with the program”, that conflicts with my personality. I don’t believe that if one changes their opinion not on rationality, but on fear, then they don’t truly believe what they think. Dogmatism and fear of retribution is no different from a dog who does not pee on the floor because they are afraid that they will get their face rubbed into it.

I think that philosophical subjectivity is really something which should be covered here, although I will condense the subject because I have covered it at length elsewhere, and so have many philosophers such as Hume. Basically, things are divided by is and ought. Ought statements cannot be made into -is- statements, because they are two separate categories. This means, basically, that there is no objective morality. Because there is no ultimate moral code, all human beings are competing with their own emotional inclinations. Whatever is a person’s inclination is what they will prefer, which is why I think a lot of politics is actually a competition between not opposing ideologies, but opposing emotional tendencies.

I think that it’s been said that conservatives actually have a higher amount of fear and disgust, and certain personality types which make them adverse to change. This may seem stupid to people who disagree. But what if an alien without the emotions that human beings evolved came down to earth which simply saw all human beings as ants, whatever political position you take would be irrelevant. The alien without the same desires as human beings would simply look at the two human beings fighting and see ants, it wouldn’t attach any sort of “ought” statement, or inherent moral right or wrong to it, it wouldn’t make any value judgment of it either way.

This is actually a pretty good way of looking at things in my experience. I think that when you detach yourself from any cultural bias, it becomes easy to see what is really important and what isn’t. It becomes easy to critique things that you wouldn’t otherwise critique because you have some sort of emotional attachment to it. It’s led me to deeply criticize capitalism, and ways that capital hurts people through the way it’s been implemented, the concept of gender being to me a totally false dichotomy perpetuated through 1000 years of binary box thinking which is inherent to human beings pattern seeking tendencies, religion being essentially mystical thinking and group think, along with many other things. However I think that because my personality leaves me pretty much impartial on a lot of issues, I end up not falling in line well with people when they simply want people to fall in line. I need rigorous logical reasons why I should “fall in line”, which does often make it difficult for me to interact with others besides a very specific few, very often. Not falling in line is preferable to the alternative, but it’s still unfortunate that the dichotomy of detachment and order seeking exists.

I guess another thing which is important is to be extra cautious of online as a whole, because I’ve noticed that it’s easy for things online to go south and for people to take stuff the wrong way. For me that’s a big problem with using the internet, is I think that the totally impersonal medium has been bad for my mental emotional health. Seeing people face to face takes away a lot of the dehumanizing factor of online interaction. Online is very difficult for me to communicate on, it always has been. I usually try to limit my interactions with others line for this reason, but I do also prefer socializing.

I'm sick of idiots who keep spewing KARL POPPER, KARL POPPER, like a retarded seal. There is not a real threat of Nazis to our society, this is not 1941. You ignorant retards just love to hate and punch people whose beliefs you disapprove of. Hate begets hate. I guarantee you that not a single Nazi ever changed his mind from being punched in the face. You hate free speech, you hate democracy. You fucking idiots.

The Flood / Hey everyone, I care so much about rape
« on: September 25, 2018, 11:50:13 AM »
I wanted to let everyone know that raping people is fucking WRONG! A girl is not asking for it if she is dressed like a total slut, she's just NOT! I have to spell everything out to you fucking rape culture supporting frat boys. I, unlike most people care deeply about the problem of rape, and I think it's necessary that you all know this fact about me. Okay?

I just took this huge satisfying shit, but my ass still feels like it wants to push out every little piece of turd that passes through my digestive system following closely after it. Funny thing is I already took a poop when I got home from school today, but I took another big one. What the hell lmao.

Doesn't it bother you that there's always so much decision making that goes into eating? If scientists just figured out what nutrients we need, they could construct some sort of bar that has all the nutrients you need, and varying bars depending on your needs, and we could use our tax dollars to make these foods freely available, but rationed out to each individual based on their caloric needs.

We could halt all agricultural production besides what is necessary for the Food Bar™. This would end hunger, at least in the United States; it would minimalism environmental damage from the meat industry (which the United Nations just announced needs to be reduced because of it's negative impact on the environment and climate change); it would make everyone extremely healthy, because they aren't deficient in any nutrients, no one would be fat because they don't over eat, and the dating pool would no longer be full of ogreish looking people who I wouldn't fuck with a 10 foot pole.

I fucking hate this about the EDC community. You see something cool, and it turns out that it was some limited run bullshit for knife fetishist hipsters. The Grimsmo Norsman, Spyderco Slysz Bowie, Graham Knives Midtech Razel, millit knives version 2 torrent, Chris Reeve Tilock. Every fucking time I see a knife which I'm like "wow, that looks really cool, I think I'll buy that" it turns out that it's out of production. The only thing which looks decent is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, but that thing is unnecessarily enormous because of the inefficient way it was design, and not attractive looking at all.

I want to have a few knives, just so I can not only depend on my Victorinox pocket knife.

I basically just want the hardest and sharpest type of blade. The most reliable, and the best built. I was thinking about getting a Damascus steel fixed blade like this one. I'm probably gonna look at knife reviews too.

The Flood / Why music is worthless hedonism
« on: September 01, 2018, 10:24:13 PM »
I have spent a lot of time trying to rationalize and justify why music is important. I have listened to hundreds of albums, many of them dozens of times. All I can think to say is it gives me a “feeling” which doesn’t go away. When you listen to Rite Of Spring by Stravinsky dozens of times, the feeling of that piece becomes a part of you. What I can’t refute with any sort of logic, however, is the way that music seems purely to be a hedonistic endeavor. I cannot say whether it “improves” me, in any way. In relation to what does one improve? I can’t prove that it’s made me smarter, stronger, more capable of success. If anything I can say that it’s a purely emotionally gratifying experience, nothing more.

Exploring the unique ways which music evokes emotion is one of the most fulfilling experiences I have ever endeavored. That is why I have spend thousands of hours, after school, almost every day when I have nothing else to do, devoted to finding new music to hear. It is always amazing when you hear a song that evokes a feeling that you never knew you could ever feel. Always looking for art that expresses something better than you could have expressed it yourself, it seems to expand vastly the capacity for feeling. It is evocative to the extreme.

Yet, what does one who listens to music share with the ignorant masses who blithely exclaim that “music is my life?” Perhaps it’s like people who don’t study philosophy who say that if you can think you are doing philosophy. Many people simply do not listen to music music outside of the pop sensible stuff which circulates the mainstream; music which has suited the public sensibility well enough to be palatable to a wide audience. Those who do this, who do not expand their taste past what is widely acceptable are not challenging themselves. They are philistines. Music appreciation takes countless hours of exposing oneself to experience that one would not have otherwise, going outside of ones comfort zone.

Yet so many people feel that music listening is not an objective experience which can be quantified in ones ability to experience and appreciate. Could there be an argument to counter them, considering the popular sentiment is that music is subjective? Perhaps not, perhaps music listening is simply a hedonistic self serving act which acts as nothing more than mental masturbation. What isn’t self serving, after all? Getting a job is self serving, being president of the United States is self serving, going to war is self serving; but at least one can hide behind the plausibility of being “selfless” in these pursuits. One may feel that a life devoted to others is the life most worth living.

Us music listeners are incredibly self serving, it is only the musicians who give us self serving hedonistic pleasure seekers our pleasure who are the truly “selfless” ones. What is a musician though? An enabler of this hedonistic pleasure seeking. The same as the president of the United States. This self serving pleasure seeking which gratifies the president to enable people who self-servingly seek to “live”. Living is extremely self serving as well. What is the point of living, if not to gratify oneself? Life itself is merely a hedonistic endeavor, an absolute masturbation fest of self serving louses who try to give themselves some sort of justification for self-servingly doing things, when they could very well just acknowledge that their consciousness is a biological anomaly and not act like self important wankers.

The question of whether or not music “important” seems irrelevant, considering that nothing is important. However, who is to say that the music that you listen to doesn’t profoundly affect your behavior? I’ll try to defend music a little bit, although all that I can give music is my own uninformed conjecture. It is, after all, a matter of trying to explain the effects of what happens in my brain, which I can’t see. I can’t see the circuitry, the way that music actually affects my cognitive function. That is what is important after all; I am not one of those people who believes in some sort of metaphysical dualism between mind and body. I do believe that the brain is the center of who we are as human beings.

Perhaps every song that you listen to resides inside your brain, it shapes the neural pathways in your brain. When you listen to Chick Corea, you have pieces of Chick Corea inside your brain, little fragments. It is like a piece of reality is dropped in your head, and it shatters and the little pieces become an inextricable part of you, to borrow from the phrasing used by Rilke in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Briggs. Perhaps the direction that your emotions push you is the only thing that matters, considering that logic is only a tool, and the emotions that drive logic are the hands that grasp that tool. It doesn’t matter if you’re a genius in some craft, because genius is only a tool which one uses to craft some end, which could be equally malicious or benevolent.

Even then, no one is to say that the music you listen to could be driving you to some "good" end, because no one is really to say what is objectively good. Many have tried to say what is good, and all have failed. It is only a subjective matter, because emotional preference is subjective, and objective logic (if there is such a thing), cannot be part of emotion or right and wrong for that matter. Since music is ostensibly part of emotion, and neither emotion nor logic can determine what end is "good", music fails to hold any significance beyond it's self serving nature. It is self serving, worthless hedonism, and the musicians who herald it merely arm flailing preachers, pretentiously trying to "be something". It is pure pretension, pure masturbation. Music is hedonism, no more or less than all human behavior though.

I don't understand why society accommodates disabled people. They are leeching off of me, I don't like parasites. All these leeches on our society, eventually they will have to learn the lesson the hard way. Trump will cut their lips off the tit. Then they'll look like zombies with their teeth all exposed lmao. What pisses me off is that the strong can't simply dominate the weak. The politically correct liberal communists think that we live in a loving, caring system. But let me tell you something, love isn't what makes America great. What makes America great is our animal spirit. I see it in Wallstreet, it brings a tear to my eye. Pure, raw Darwin in action. Charles Darwin would be proud. It makes me proud. THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOTTA CUT THOSE LEECHES OFF THE TIT *slams fist on table*

After doing my research paper on how capitalism's growth is unsustainable last semester, it became ever more clear to me that not only would an alternative system to capitalism be better, it is necessary for the survival of the planet. It is unlikely these changes would take place within our lifetime, but they are worth keeping in mind because they are the right thing to do.

In the past couple hundred years, the system of capitalism has begun the 6th mass extinction on planet earth, ocean pollution in which plastic is scheduled to outweigh fish in our lifetime, and although we have the capability to make life a lot easier due to the automation of industrial machines, a wealthy few benefit from these advancements and the rest are left working more than is necessary to survive in first world countries where we produce goods not for the sake of using them efficiently, but producing them rampantly so that profit can be generated. While first world countries prosper, the third world still suffers, with the top 8 wealthiest people in the world owning more than the bottom half of the world.

Here is how the society would function in a non growth based economy, to my recollection. What would basically happen is you would get rid of shareholders, and make each person in the company the owner of the means of production. A factory, a shop, etc. They make the full value of their labor, and since you eliminate shareholders there's no need to give them a return on their investment by expanding the company. Capitalism has apparently expanded 16 times since the beginning of the 20th century because of this growth based model. If you switch to a non-growth based economy you could eliminate this dichotomy

The workers would vote on decisions that the company does, because they are the ones who own the company, not the shareholders. In capitalist society, the shareholders are the ones who vote on decisions that the company makes. This is the reason why you see so many companies moving their production over seas. Because the motivation is to make profit at all costs, when worker wages start being too much for capitalists to afford, they need to move the company somewhere where they can pay workers less. Since a democratic workplace doesn't rely on growth, there isn't a need to cut workers when the workers wages threaten to undercut the profit motive.

I do hope that people can have their jobs replaced with robots more and more, and people can be supplemented with what the robots produce so they don't have to work as much. The industrial revolution could have been a means of reducing work for all people, because machines do most of the work. However, instead of subsisting on what the machines produce, human beings need to make more, otherwise this undercuts capitalism's constant need to grow, due "the tendency of the rate of profit to fall". So they create unnecessary products, and extract unnecessary resources from the earth. Profits must be made and continue to grow, otherwise there will be an economic crash. Eventually the economy cannot grow any more, the tendency of the rate of profit to fall causes an economic crash, and the planet was sapped of it's resources in a failed attempt to keep this inefficient model from crashing again.

These are all problems intrinsic to capitalism. The tendency of the rate of profit to fall, the need for endless growth, the undercutting of wages when they threaten the companies profits, the destruction of the environment, and the concentration of capital into the hands of a few. There is ample reason to be concerned that this system we live in is going to cause massive death and destruction on planet earth and likely fail in the future, and if humanity knew what was best for them they would switch to a non-growth, socialist based economic system before it's too late. Unfortunately, they likely won't. However, it is the right thing to do, and I am happy to stand with the likes of Albert Einstein in believing that capitalism is not the way, and socialism is.

I really wish that there were a way I could become engaged intellectually with a community without getting involved in the political dissonance that paradoxically arises when people become too politically and intellectually engaged. I have always enjoyed sort of anything goes spaces, where someone could get offended by what someone says but there's really no rules, so anyone can just say whatever they want without worrying about someone saying something that might offend them. I've spent a lot of time posting on websites like 4chan, or random facebook groups, chat rooms, websites that don't really have rules, etc.

To me it has always been difficult, because I don't like offending people, but I also like saying what I think honestly without mitigation. I feel like when you're in a group that has political cohesion there is inevitably going to be a sort of conforming that becomes necessary in that group. I've been experiencing that pretty hardcore lately, and yeah I like the people who have a problem with me and I respect their opinions, but they don't respect mine. I don't want to live in a world like that where I have to conform to what everyone else thinks, I want to have an interesting discussion where many views are expressed and many interesting conversations can take place.

The problem is that even that can turn into something toxic, and it often does. I sort of feel like I'm at a loss for anywhere I can go that isn't either belligerent or so politically correct that I feel like I am under threat if I express something that might offend people. It's sort of like being trapped in a purgatory. Because I care about queer issues, anti capitalism, issues regarding race and gender, etc. That puts me in a very left wing camp. However, I don't experience much cohesion with people on the left regardless of this. I experience the same thing with people on the right, a lot of them have their own sort of safe space, where any opposing views get shut down and derided.

Is there no truly neutral place where you can have interesting discussions and it doesn't devolve into a total shit storm? Because I would love to know. It makes me so uncomfortable now a days with things being so political, and I have always had a problem where I don't care whatsoever if someone finds what I say offensive if I believe what I say, beyond simply feeling pity, and sorry that they feel the need to be upset by me. I don't feel sorry for saying things I believe in, and I have stood up vehemently for unpopular positions since I was very, very young. I just wish there were a place I could go where I wasn't trapped in this schism.

The Flood / I really don't like whiny rape victims
« on: August 01, 2018, 02:45:28 PM »
Not all of them are bad, but a lot of them are up tight cunts who say stuff like someone reminds them of their rapist. How is it anyone's fault that they were born with the appearance of someone who raped someone? Rape victims couldn't be any bitchier. Second of all, it's not my fucking problem if you were raped, so I shouldn't have to worry about you spilling your big victim juice all over my face. Honestly rape victims are just projecting when they say they hate being raped, because what they really want to do is rape you with their rape victim juices by spraying them all over everyone else.

50
They were a bunch of hippy communists who allowed degeneracy. The great colonists did this country a great favor by spreading western values to the Indians.

51
To be totally honest I am predominantly left wing. 95% of the stuff I say on this website (roughly 19/20) are not reflections of what I actually think. I just like saying stupid stuff. I am a progressive, and you can see my actual list of political beliefs listed in lists of policies I support in a thread I made a couple months ago. I guess I just don't really feel the "consciousness" about language policing that others on the left do.

I have no problem talking with people on the right about my beliefs and I very often get ostracized by leftist groups because I am very loose lipped - I tend to say offensive stuff without really meaning to be offensive. It might be the word "crazy" that I slip up and say, it is very annoying. I recently got scolded for that on a leftist forum, because I always slip up and say "slurs". I don't care. That is probably because I am used to being around diverse environments. I grew up on The Flood on Bungie.net and playing Halo, and browsing 4chan.

I think that these experiences have shaped me into a person who steps over the boundaries set up by what I see as a merely tribalistic human instinct to look at things in terms of binary oppositions. I do not hate women, or lesbians (although I hate that my lgbt center is mostly lesbians and trans masculine people at my college), or black people, or disabled people, and I do not think Louis CK, Trump, and Bill Cosby are moral paragons. To be honest I think it's funny that people get upset about that sort of thing though, even if they are right to get upset about it. So I might make a post instigating people because it's kind of funny to me.

I hope that clears things up a little :)

The Flood / Ideas for fun things to collect?
« on: July 26, 2018, 05:36:31 AM »
The things I like to collect are audio equipment (mostly audiophile headphones and ear buds), plushies, metal EDC pens, collectible books, and wrist watches. I used to collect vintage game consoles and music CDs, but I sort of stopped doing that.

All the wrist watches I want that I don't have are either ridiculously expensive and I'd have to have a very nice job, or they all share the same watch movement. The mechanical device that makes a watch tick is often the same among many watches because there's monopolies on manufacture of watch movements.

I have a few plushies I kind of want but I have no more room.

The problem I have with books is that all the books I want now are a few hundred dollars, which is ((ableist slur redacted by mod)) expensive for a book. So that's sort of off the table.

The one pen I really wanted is discontinued, and the other ones I want are easy to get and there's only a few more.

I like collecting and I'm not sure what else to collect. I could just go buy nice clothes, I dunno.

53
Some feminists can be annoying. They go around acting like objective moral authority figures, evangelizing their principles on others and acting outraged over insignificant shit. Nazis ideologies are practically the opposite of mine, but I sympathize more with them, I find it easier to look at a Nazis and say "hey, this guy thinks he has objective moral authority over others too, but when it comes down to there was a flaw in how these people were raised". Nazis are people just like you and I, they come from different backgrounds, whether it be genetic predispositions that mentally predisposed them to it, or more likely their circumstances led them into it.

Feminists have no excuse. They may be right about a lot of things, but they shouldn't just act like cunts because they think they're better than you. That doesn't solve anything and just makes things worse. I think it's easier to be mad at people who I feel that I expect more from, people who I feel I can expect better behavior from. Some other people who fit this description are right wing politicians. In the end sympathy or lack thereof is arbitrary, and because we live in a deterministic world where everyone is either predisposed or disposed to things which shape who they are, and really no one deserves any blame for anything they do. The world is not black and white, and human beings too often see things in terms of binary oppositions.

The awesome might of the American military has brought the world to it's knees.

I would like to have more cute dresses, but unfortunately the ones I like from Japan are always in very small girl sizes, not for people with broad shoulders who are 6'2 from America. There are also wrist watches which are around 2000 dollars which I want, which I could be saving up for. The things on the list right now are cool, but I'm not sure if I should forego these things so I can get something like a Sinn chronograph wrist watch or an Omega Speedmaster.

For once the country is actually going in a positive direction. Enough of the corrupt left wingers trying to turn America socialist. Enough of the lying liberal media being able to get away with it's crimes. Enough of a leader who has weak foreign diplomatic relations. Enough of political correctness having it's way, and the leftists trying to take away free speech once and for all because of their neo-marxist agenda.

I'm just kidding, I don't actually think any of that. Trump is a tyrant, one of the most disgusting people I've ever seen. We need to switch to a non-growth based economy because capitalism is destroying the planet. Resource consumption is unsustainable along side capitalism's need to always expand. Climate change is the most serious issue facing humans today next to pollution and the threat of nuclear war, which Trump exacerbates. Trump is undermining America's democracy by constantly threatening to make laws restraining the media and calling it's credibility into question, and he makes the world call the credibility of the American government into question. He is racist and bigoted by every stretch of the imagination and everyone he appoints is too. He is also committing unspeakable crimes against humanity by separating children from their parents and putting literal babies on trial in immigration court.

Leftism is the new enlightenment. Trans people are valid, POC are valid, rich people get rich off the backs of workers (who can barely survive on the minimum wage in this country) and then say poor people are lazy, gender is a spectrum, America was built on slavery of POC and genocide of the Indian population. There is no such thing as a good cop, because they are all part of an institution which gives us the worlds largest prison population, puts people in cages for smoking a plant or getting high, deports our friends because of an imaginary line, arrests people who are starving for taking what they need to survive, and evicting people from their homes who can't make a living on the poverty wages in this country and criminal bankers who rob the public.

In short, America is declining into fascism and it is starting to look like humanity is going to majorly fuck itself over, and advanced civilization might not last much longer.

I just wish they would all shut the hell up. I don't give a fuck about all this bullshit anymore. It is hard enough having to try to beat bosses in dark souls and then go to a job. Then you have to think about the endless problems of the world? And they wonder why mental health in the united states is so bad, people just fill their heads with all the refuse of the world! Enough.

The Flood / Facebook is such fucking garbage
« on: July 12, 2018, 09:51:32 PM »
That fucking feeling when you're on your irl facebook and someone makes a snide remark to you in comments on the post of an irl friend, and you want so badly to tell them to go fuck themselves with a cactus but they're your friends friend. I honestly just blocked them, so whatever. Some bitch was telling me I'm "wet blanketing" a post about how America is declining into fascism, because I pointed out that an article had a really bad interpretation of Nietzsche, saying he is all about the strong dominating the weak. I can't honestly believe this author knows anything about Nietzsche, regardless of the content of the article being otherwise fine (I honestly didn't read past the terrible Nietzsche interpretation). So I point that out and this big dripping cunt fucking decides that I'm a "wet blanket". Fuck you, get blocked.

Nietzsche was an anti fascist, Jesus fucking christ, I can't point that out without people getting upset at me? Fucking die.

Gaming / I can't fucking beat the abyss watchers

Dark Souls III. I have beaten them before, very closely. That was a year or two ago no. My save data got erased when I was reinstalling my operating system. Now I am trying to beat this game again and I still have a very difficult time getting past the abyss watchers.

The Flood / The truth about human beings
« on: July 07, 2018, 06:04:37 PM »
As a human being you are always striving, like a meth addict. Always looking for that next fix of happiness. The human being is a perpetual eating machine, a perpetual get-high machine, and a perpetual fuck machine. What else is there to say about the human being?
