Remember WWIII?

 Ukraine was totally going to end us all when Putin/Hillary hits the big red button. Any minute now.

 Look, you can't lustrate the public square of idiots. Dumb shits are going to say dumb shit things and they're too dumb to realize they're going to get punished for it (even if they are) so they'll do it again. If you declare war on idiocy you instantly lose time for anything else, and you also plain lose. You can't outnumber idiots 3:1. Quite the reverse. 

 Ban, block, ignore, move on.

 Anyone who retweets &c the idiocy reveals themselves to be brothers in idiocy. Ban, block, ignore, etc.

 

 This is why you need a Pope. Whitelisted conversation. The Pope decides who can avoid idiots, and non-idiots can realize the Pope will de-list them if they do something stupid. Not even a speck of free speech. Result: quality communication. 

 Do not public square. Not even once. 

 If the Pope fucks up, one way or another, get a new Pope. Block, ban, ignore, impeach, whatever.

 Which is why you need a hierarchy.

 Which is why you need an explicit community.

Selection Against Skill in 2v2

A nagging dynamic I finally verbalized.

Why are the 2v2s always so weak compared to the 1v1s? Whether APM focused like Starcraft or the opposite of that with Mechabellum, or full 5v5 like League, the non-solo ladders are contemptible. 

If you're above average you get selected out. The better you are, the more likely your teammate will lose the game for you. The worse you are, the more likely your teammate will win the game for you. 

Everyone above average gives up. They give up the mode if they can, the game if they can't. The average moves down, which means new players are above average, and they give up...

Eventually you're left with only hopeless "toxic" cases. 

Probably works the same with p2w. Games made for terrible players who can't win at all without a crutch make mad bank, even though they're all buying the gold ammo. Horrible playerbases, though. It's amazing that they put up with each other. I guess buying gold ammo makes them feel like they're cheating, and the absurdly repulsive behaviour of their fellow players make them feel like they deserve to be cheated against?

Hypothesis: IQ Anaesthetic Caused Ancient Cruelty

 Ancient man faced breaking on the wheel and crucifixion and was barely deterred. Modern man cowers in the face of being suspended from twitter for a week. You might, horror of horrors, even lose your job. *gasp*

 IQ numbs emotions. Dose-response. 

 What if moderns are so affected by e.g. a death because their emotions are all on blast due to a bug? It's tuned against much higher IQs than moderns manage to touch. They can't handle the intensity of life because they're too stupid to damp their springs correctly. 

 Same reason children are overexcitable. It's not an adaptation, it's an accident of jank. Their emotions are tuned against adult IQ, but their IQ hasn't reached adult level yet, so their feelings tend to rattle around in their skull like pinballs. See also: willpower is IQ-modulated, resulting in irresistable impulses when you're young, probably. (I wouldn't know anything about that.) 

 IQ is calming. Moderns aren't smart enough to keep themselves calm.

Superstitious Dad Raises Superstitious Daughter

 "4yo just informed me “cement trucks aren’t real”. 

 "I said they are, she goes “NO!”, cackles. I try explaining what they’re used for, she laughs uncontrollably. 

 "And I see her point."
https://nitter.unixfox.eu/Rule3O3/status/1699253485425086883

 Daughters start on rejecting reality and embracing newspaper astrology early.

 Of course this brings great shame onto Rule303's family - her genes didn't come from nowhere. Thanks Rule303 for your candid confession, your declaration against interest. Science appreciates your sacrifice. 

 Even if you genuinely believe cement trucks are a joke, you can't treat your family like that. This is a future entitled narcissist. 

 In parallel, the daughter is asserting social superiority over her dad. And he's not mocking her powerless superstitions until she cries. She is arbiter of social truth, he isn't. In short she's (remember, 4) bullying him (alleged adult male) and he's surrendering as victim. You can't claim he's too autistic to notice the social attack, because he defends DEI programs. 

 "If you’re not a moderate, the thing you’re fighting for isn’t freedom." lol, paging Orwell

 Enjoy your future pole-dancer.

Secure your Girlfriend

 Stop thinking about what morally ought to keep your girlfriend with you and keep her from cheating, and think about what would actually cause her to stay and/or not cheat. Stop trying to be persuasive and start throwing up fences.

 Also, do the accounting. Is she worth the fences? Are you trying to tame a whore? Is this whore anywhere near hot enough to be worth the investment? Can you afford all the fences you need? Are the risks inherent to neglecting the expensive fences in any way reasonable risks?

 It is worth asking if the girl thinks some kind of behaviour is immoral, because a ton of girls are dumb enough to admit to thinking immorality is good. Reminder that the converse is meaningless. Any girl can mouth the right answer.

 Reminder: if you leave off an expensive fence and then your girl trespasses in that direction, you can't get mad. That's all on you. Have an exit strategy instead. Maybe tell her about it in advance and hope she can scrounge up enough consciousness to be deterred.

Unnecessary Pain in Nature

 I saw a dead bird, twisted in agony and ripped to pieces.

 At first it seems as if there's a lot of unnecessary suffering, especially in nonhuman ecologies.

 However, it's Pride. Those who are found unworthy resist their just execution, and therefore it takes longer and hurts a lot more than strictly necessary. They refuse to surrender when they've lost and are justly punished for rebelling against Reality. 

 Species could evolve to be intelligent and strategic. Instead they choose excruciation, having as many children as possible and finding out which ones they should have had by letting the rest get killed. They could gain the ability to plan, but prefer the ability to pain.

 Perhaps we can call the pain unnecessary in some sense, but it's supply and demand, as always. The pain is being demanded. Who are we to interrupt the supply?

Sex Ed is Grooming

 I think you already know, but it's important to say these things out loud.

 A grown-ass woman discussing sex in lurid detail with a bunch of 12-year olds is incredibly creepy. 

 Bonus: the woman is typically unmarried, and definitely underfucked. Get your hands off children you demented loser. 

 Any 'teacher' who agrees to administer sex ed would go on a list in any sane society. For preference, the list in question are the obituaries. If they had a shred of honour they would have refused. You do not want these morlocks anywhere near your children. Or near anyone, really. If you feed them to the wolves, say a prayer for the poor wolves.

 As usual, there's no reason to get upset at Epstein. Minor detail in the grand scheme of things. Call me when they start lynching the 6th-grade teacher - you know, the one whose address they can find and visit.
Like, there's a reason parents aren't allowed to visit the school and see what's happening to their kids. That alone is 200% of a reason to pull them out. Indisputable proof of traitorous motives. 

 Fascist parents are complicit in grooming. Epstein is cope - they want tell you they would totes defend their kid from a sex pest, but conveniently they don't know where Epstein is / he's already dead. "I follow libs of tiktok." Do you now. So brave.
 They won't defend their kids. On the contrary, they will defend the parasite from you.

Dunning-Kruger vs. Critique of Pure Reason

If there's a need to write Critique of Pure Reason 2.0, there's no point in writing it because nobody can understand it. Nobody even wants to understand it.

If there's a population that can understand Critique of Pure Reason, there's no need to write it. They already know. 

Of course it doesn't help that Kant was frequently wrong and consequently wrote a shamefully fallacious version of the book. 

Ironically it was only readable at all exactly due to these errors, which his foolish readership apprehended as points in common.
