Well, when we reach a position where we can examine a person's mind and quantify and predict a person's behaviour before they behave in that way, and further still go on to adjust and doctor that behaviour, then this will leave little room for belief in free will. This shows that every choice we make is a product of our current genetic composition, and not ethereal(not free-will).
They're just starting to use these techniques for medicinal reasons, currently to fight auto-immune diseases, but I can see this one day being used against a whole range of physical and social negatives.
At some point in this century scientists will have the ability to completely redesign a person. They'll be able to do anything from engineering a superhuman immune system to changing a person's favourite colour.
If this works then mankind will have disproven free will by predetermining itself.
Genetic predisposition plus the sum of all our experience equals to what our character is as of today. As a person is born with set genetic predispositions then this implies that he could only ever interact with his environment in one way, the way that occurs.
So, if internal motivators(genes)are preset at birth and external motivators(which shape our internal motivators - what we call experience)are by definition beyond our control, as much control as the plant has over the rain, then this means that free will doesn't exist, that we have to be predetermined.
Which isn't to say that free will isn't "real", only that it is a myth.. just consider how faith in god and religion has shaped the face of Human history and how real this is to us... but god isn't a fact.
I once lost a girl I loved. The rush of pain was so intense even a fight club pummeling couldn’t have distracted me from it. But I didn’t stoically shrug it off. I threw glasses at the wall. I broke things. I smashed up my apartment.
If you aren’t smashing stuff after losing a lover you don’t know the pleasure of love.
So, how do I know it was love? From the then hole in my heart to the now hole in my kitchen door.
I know well of the technological advances that we are making as I work in these fields. UCG in Britain will hopefully one day produce a similar effect. But that's an horrendous overstatement to make, our problems really are far more than a question of energy supply.
There's a correlation between low IQ and a lack of wit. But then, there's also a correlation between a high IQ and being boring to those who don't have a high IQ. So on reflection I can't decide whether objectively Black men are more or less funny than White men.
However, given that humour is a cultural as well as an individual thing, then people should find other people of their own colour to be the funniest.
And I'd still say thar the Black low IQ helps them with women. The more intelligent, rational and logical the man is then the less he will understand the desires of women, whereas the man of lesser intelligence relies upon his male instincts more and consequently does better with women. This more than compensates for the fact that women find intelligence atrractive in and of itself.
At least I have a cause to correlate the evidence to. And the parallels are rather striking, it is by no means a guess and what I'm saying would qualify as a theory in the scientific sense of the word.
What's your explanation as to why White woman/non-white man marriages are more far likely to break down? And what is your explanation as to why women choose to enter these less successful marriages? What are the general qualities that she is seeing and desiring in him?
Yes, statistics. They are far more likely not to be around as a Father.. and this holds true in the US, Europe and Africa. And yes this statistic may not matter to you but it would if it happened to you, and statistics also matter to reasonable people and also to people that think beyond their own immediate selfish concerns...
But yes, and I am judging on what attracts her to him, this is precisely what I'm doing. She is attracted to his masculinity and red-bloodedness because it's certainly not because Blacks are more reliable, trustworthy, softer or more Beta thsn White men. All I'm saying is that a real man in the West, which is currently 5,000 feet from terminal velocity impact, is unlikely to be White.
There's no evidence to suggest Black men are funnier(in fact, Black British comedians are terrible and Blacks in general have a lower IQ). And unless you consider the increased likelihood of abandoning your kids and being more likely to be a criminal as a sign of kindness then there is every reason to think that they are less kind and compassionate(also read:less beta)than White men.
But your last line is pure truth. Her visceral urges remain the same no matter the colour of him, she's still attracted to confidence and male power, it's only that Black men exhibit traits of confidence and male power and are far more red-blooded than White Beta male middle class complements & cuddle herbs.
Did I overread that? Haha so desperate to be right and to prove me wrong that you've managed to reveal your own idiocy. It's 4%, sweetheart, not 4 times.
And it doesn't need to say how many singles are looking for partners of other races. This is wholly irrelevant. All it needs to show is the divorce rate of interracial marriages. Which it does.
Marriages involving a black husband and white wife were twice as likely to divorce as marriages involving a white husband and white wife.
Asian male/white female marriages were 59 percent more likely to end in divorce than white male/white female marriages.
Marriages involving a white husband and black wife were substantially less likely to end in divorce than marriages involving a white husband and white wife; the former pairing’s divorce rate was 44 percent less than the latter.
Couples composed of a white husband and Asian wife were 4 percent more likely to end in divorce than marriages involving a white husband and white wife.
Hispanic white/non-Hispanic white and Asian/white marriages were more liable to divorce than those of in-married Hispanic whites and Asians.
Marriages including a black husband and white wife were more prone to divorce than those composed of black husbands and black wives. Black male/white female couples also had the highest likelihood of divorce of all white/non-white marriages.
While interracial marriage correlates to a higher rate of divorce, this parallel applies mainly to marriages involving a non-white male and white female. ~ (ed: wham bam thank you mam!!!)
So why is it that White men are looking outside the race to find a decent woman to stay married to? And why is it that White women are looking outside the race to find a bad boy to get pumped and dumped by?
It could happen. Christianity is competing with Islam in Africa, with Christianity broadly yet undeniably being the religion of the Black native and Islam the religion of the Arab invader. So to appoint a Black Pope would - quite ironically considering that Christianity was originally there to pacify and placate Africa in the interests of colonialism - galvanise Black resistance against foreign oppression.
Everything's relative, it would be equally valid to say that western culture demonises men instead... in fact, it would be arguably more valid to say this when you consider that their ways have lived, and probably will to continue to live, far longer than ours.
People say "I love you" when they're talking about Haagen-Dazs or their broadband provider. Girls will say "I love you" to just about anything and everyone, even and especially to girls that they hate.
I've always found that a man will speak of love less than he loves, and a woman will speak of love more than she loves. So as a Man I wouldn't be concerned of her writings.. but if I was a woman I might be.. a man who says "I love you" to just about anybody is a possibly a charlatan, likely a beta and, by simply following the clues, questionably a queer.
1st place never holds a grudge against runner up. Only the loser can begrudge the winner. But then, show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser, this is not without it's truth, too.
So I don't know what to think about grudges. All I know is that I like to keep my grudges pretty broad, such as a grudge against a political position, a social reality, or a race of people.
Sure you have. The chances are if he likes the look you he'll kiss you. But it's not as easy as this when you're trying to pull a 22 year old stunner with a dozen beta orbiters hovering in the wings.
one needs only look at how popular language has changed over the years.
In the 60's youth slogans such as "power to the people" were commonplace and everything revolved around wishing the world into a paradise. In any case it was all deeply politicised.
What's the most common and widespread phrase of young people recently?
"keep it real".. and our whole popular language revolves around being down to Earth and streetwise - it's blatanly hostile to political idealism.
This says it all about how we've changed/grown up over the years.
I'm just glad people my age aren't really like this. If we like White then we say that, if we like Blacks then we say.. and so and so on..
This is probably because we're generally so apolitical and apathetic that this means we have few agendas and little cause to lie or deceive because of this; our lack of political ideology makes us realists by default.
We're not allowed, thems the rules according to Jap. Actually, this makes any White opinion pointless seen as none of these women would be allowed to date any of us anyway.
However, luckily when I look at Jap I do not see a President in the making.
Roll on genetic engineering... threads like these remind of the urgency in which we need to purge the gene pool. I blame excessive health & safety, people that thought like this simply would not be capable of staying alive in the past.
A good old British working class tradition is to seemingly despise everybody from all neighbouring towns and to fight them, repeatedly, just for the laugh.
Maybe this is one reason why the French surrendered and we didn't.
