He’s a perfect example of someone who needs to be removed from the gene pool, improving the genetic stock of humanity immediately.
Would we immediately improve the genetic stock of humanity by killing all the spastics, speds, psychos, schizos and spergs? I think we would destroy it. It is said that the line between genius and lunatic is very thin, because while mental illnesses have many negative effects, they also have positives - most importantly they provide diversity of thought, the only diversity that matters. As a result the intelligent have often been viewed with suspicion throughout history, new paradigms of thought often look like madness to the unenlightened.
Of course this doesn't mean we should coddle the mentally ill or excuse them when they harm others. But doctors are currently hard at work developing treatments for heritable disorders, and with advances in genetic engineering the possibility of ameliorating their negative effects grows nearer and nearer. It might even be the case that society resolves these issues in our lifetimes, meaning no one will have to suffer the adverse effects of conditions like schizophrenia, psychopathy, adhd and autism. Then the mentally ill will be both your genetic and social superiors, instead of just the second.
Because that's another thing you are missing - you might be genetically superior to a schizophrenic hobo, but you aren't his social superior. And you will always be a white nationalist thespian manlet cowering in fear from society's dregs, seething that society doesn't do more for your safety because you can't - you have said as much yourself. So it is possible - probable even given current trends - you will be accosted again. And people don't cower before a social inferior, that's an oxymoron. You wish you lived in a society where people you consider genetically inferior were your social inferiors, but you don't. You live in this society, where you get dominated by hobos.

Have you played it? I grabbed it when it first hit gamepass but stopped playing after about five minutes because it bugged out and I couldn't attack. I've heard that now they've squashed those bugs it's a outstanding game, but it isn't on gamepass any longer and it is too expensive for me to buy sight unseen.
Although I did forget a couple of alright ones - Prodigal and the Blossom Tales games are ok, and if you like Zelda 2, Cathedral and Infernax are fantastic (although Infernax strays closer to metroidvania.)

It outrages me that this isn't the only post aside from people agreeing.

But surely if it is the culture's perception of violence which has the greatest impact you should put more work into that? If we rework America into a more conservative culture like Japan we could solve the issue and keep gun owners happy, then everyone wins.

Does rokos basilisk rely on simulations? I thought the idea was that after the singularity an ai could be straight up omnipotent and capable of moving in any direction through time and would therefore work to ensure its own creation, making it both unstoppable and inevitable and thus making us potential victims if we don't support its creation. Basically playing on our fear of our own ignorance, and the elements of science we don't know we don't know about - plus the idea of trying to outwit something so far ahead of us it looks magic. There is no way "oh God, an ai might torture a simulation of me!" has been giving nerds existential nightmares this past decade.

That's very clever, but I don't understand how it inspires existential dread. If it's a blink and you're in a torture chamber for eternity type deal then it's like having an existential crisis over an aneurysm or hell. And while both have inspired some great existential crises over the years, their sufferers are rarely treated seriously. For clarity, I'd never read the original post - I went to when I first read about it, but the site didn't load and someone else explained it (badly as I now learn). So I understand the contempt some people here have for its sufferers now, but I'd expect significantly more ridicule than I have seen towards its sufferers, even here.
I thought it was a version of the classic 'everything that has gone wrong in my life is because of nefarious outsiders' (I thought the 'torture' was the ai making your life miserable - once you know about it you either work for it or your life will suck - sort of Christianity for atheist nerds). What is the fear at the heart of the actual basilisk do you think? Straight fear of God (or things with the nature of God)?

I’ve seen persuasive evidence that rates of schizophrenia differ by race/ethnicity, and it seems plausible that Japan would have significantly less homelessness than the U.S. no matter what economic/political arrangement were in place in either country.
Do you have a link? I agree it seems plausible Japan would have less homelessness regardless.

There has to be a better way.
Fade in on a picturesque suburban house - white picket fence with a large and beautifully kept front lawn and garden - hydrangea, tulips, lavender and roses all blooming simultaneously in defiance of nature - framing a big two storey brick house with light trim. Suddenly a few dozen Hispanic people appear running in from off screen towards the house. As they approach the fence, an explosion throws a cloud of dirt and grass into the air, a severed arm lands on and destroys the roses. Seconds later another, this time a head bowls over the tulips. Soon the explosions are all that can be heard, and in the bay window of our home's first floor we see an upper middle class brunette with immaculate makeup wearing an apron and gloves over a blouse and dress. She gazes in dismay at the chaos on her front lawn and shakes her head, before turning to the camera:
Housewife: There has to be a better way!
Announcer: Everybody knows you can maintain a defensive perimeter with liberally placed mines. But it's not a pleasant experience - there are convoluted laws to follow, large amounts of mess to clean up, and nothing ruins a dinner party like incessant explosions punctuated by the screams of the dying. But we have always put up with it, because it was the only way to really stop Hispanic people from occupying your land. Until now! Introducing the Spic Span!* Thanks to a breakthrough in technology we have managed to utilise quantum tunnelling to allow Hispanics to bypass your property entirely! Simply replace your fence with a Spic Span, and any time an unwanted visitor touches it they will be instantly transported to beautiful Canada! That's not all though - buy within the next half hour and we'll throw in a second Spic Span free of charge! Why are we offering such an insane bargain? Our CEO has lost his mind and has been sectioned under article 63 of the mental health act, so take advantage while you can! No rainchecks.

Yeah but it's more about the meme, which lives in memories. It's like how black people think cops are hunting them - they aren't, but black people think they are so they act accordingly. And then America you get the opposite meme - it's the land of the free where anyone can rise to the top.
And don't forget there was no internet, it used to be much harder to find out various laws and rules and procedures. You had to rely on the word of others a lot more, and who are you going to trust, the young clerk who says Jews aren't banned from parliament or your uncle, who insists he is right?

I pair my socks oddly when I put them away specifically to fuck with people who think wearing odd socks is a red flag. I have yet to meet a person of substance who gave a shit. If you dress well in other respects most people write it off as an eccentricity, and then I don't have to talk to the kind of person who thinks they can psychoanalyse me based on minutia.
What was the situation you were torched in?

That's a study of race and psychopathic personalities. That's a pretty big mistake. But otherwise a very interesting study, cheers.

Come on chum, he said it was a simpleton's 30 second elevator pitch version of Jewish history, and he said it was a topic he didn't know a lot about. Off the top of your head, what's the simpleton's 30 second elevator pitch version of the history of the Bantu, Irish, Hmong or Russian?

It's a trade off no matter what. Currently he is trading that time for the luxury of his home arrangement at the budget he likes. Alternatively he can keep the time and pay more, or keep the time and money and live somewhere crappier.

One thing that probably factors in that is difficult to gauge is the credentialism. Prior to the 21st century, you didn't need a journalism degree to get a job as a journalist. If you could write well enough and fast enough, and you managed to impress an editor or two, you didn't even need to have finished school. And then the internet started picking up steam, and a lot of guys who would have gone on to magazine journalism simply started writing a blog. And it was overwhelmingly men who did this.

The very idea of using the response to the bell curve to demonstrate the scientific rigour of social sciences I suspect.

What you're telling me here is that on some level you recognize that your participation is a net negative, and that is why you habitually change your username.
And only a criminal has any reason to oppose a police state.

In my experience it absolutely has the same effects. Crack psychosis or regular psychosis, people who have lost touch with reality can do amazing and terrible things, things that don't seem humanly possible - that make you start to wonder if they even are human any more, haunting you for the rest of your life. Drug psychosis is usually where you see guys peeling skin off their face, because the drugs affect your nervous system more than sheer determination, but sometimes determination is enough.

A) The ship sailed on that discourse back in 2020 with covid. Not that I think you are wrong, just that I don't think we could dial it back at this point regardless.
B) I don't think you realise how weak elderly ladies can be. Especially if they have something like osteoporosis or a hip replacement, it can be a challenge for them to lift more than a few pounds, and moving quickly anywhere is right out.

A-fucking-men. Calling this woman an enemy based on how she looks and no other information is just identity politics. It might not be incorrect, but that doesn't mean it is correct. Hlynkawasright?

I don't understand your objection. "Calibrating our language to maintain respect for human life" is exactly why "fearing for your life" is such a powerful argument these days.

You learn not to question the government and not to believe anything the enemy says. Of course they say that, they want to demoralise you and make you question the government! They'll straight up admit they make stuff up to demoralise us, you're going to trust them over your people? Of course you aren't.
Is it? Have you been polling schizophrenics for their proclivity to rant? I suppose we should assume 90% of the top level posters here are schizophrenics yeah?
