What are the terms "rational" and "critical thinking" supposed to mean? The more I think about contexts in which the words are used, I realize that the majority of the time the words are used to mean "I'm awesome, and those who disagree with me are disgusting," or "I'm using with word to try and look good."
Examples include various Victorian clothing reforms, including Dr. Jaeger's "wool cloth prevents disease" theories. There's also Meiji era Japan's rational dress, which aimed at making upper class female Japanese clothing palatable to Western audiences while avoiding looking like a peasant.
Ayn Rand also seemed to enjoy the words, though she had a cult that revolved around her, in which those words meant "agree with me or else." (I think, it's been a while since I read about her social circle/cult.)
Lastly, there are people who've used those words to justify why I'm an inferior human being.
Our dear screwtape should have engaged in some *critical thinking* before knocking himself out. Twice.

NO2 isn't truly a general anesthetic; it knocks you out by asphyxia, and that's what dentists used to use. It's not unpleasant.

I think she is being really unfair to the kids. Thoughts?
Outside of food assistance I don't qualify for crap. I don't know how people can get and stay on welfare but there are no options for me at all. I am feeling better and am ramping the job search back up.

Slightly longer version: Carrier wrote an article that expounded on his formidable knowledge of Cosmology, Astrophysics & Probability.

Lowder "concurred somewhat", eh? Here are some Lowder quotes, contra Carrier:Tricky Dicky wrote:Cosmologist Luke Barnes critiqued this [Carrier's argument on fine-tuning, JS] in a series of posts [link added, JS], and Jeff Lowder concurred somewhat in The Carrier-Barnes Exchange on Fine-Tuning (which also rounds up all the links in the debate, including my contributions).
With all due respect to Dr. Carrier, I find part 1 of Dr. Barnes’ critique to be very persuasive and, in fact, to be a prima facie devastating critique.
I strongly agree. [with Barnes, JS]
(several times)I agree. [with Barnes, JS]
Again, it would be helpful if Carrier could spell out his reasoning here.
I think Dr. Carrier absolutely has to respond to this point by Dr. Barnes or publicly issue a retraction.
This strikes me as a devastating reply [by Barnes, JS]. Like the last point, I think Dr. Carrier absolutely has to respond or else issue a retraction.
Ouch. Same as the last two points.
If I understand Dr. Barnes’ point correctly here, then I think he is making a simple appeal to induction by enumeration and I think his argument is logically correct.
I agree with pretty much this entire section of Dr. Barnes’s essay.
Etcetera, etcetera.I strongly agree. I hope that Dr. Carrier will directly respond to Dr. Barnes without the personal attacks.
No, Dicky, while he grants you a few points too, Lowder is overall agreeing or even strongly agreeing with Barnes on most issues.
But, of course, that can't be because Carrier was wrong on those issues. No, it must be because Barnes is a kook who misrepresented what Carrier wrote, and Lowder (who still is "a responsible philosopher" in Carrier's authoritative estimation) is a naive person who simply fell for the scam.
It's always the same with Carrier. "People misunderstand my arguments; they haven't read my stuff carefully enough. If only they had read my book." Etcetera, ad nauseam.Tricky Dicky wrote:Lowder agrees with Barnes on a few things, but only by trusting that Barnes actually correctly described my argument. He didn’t. Lowder would do well to revisit my actual chapter, notes and all, without the distorting lens of Barnes’s approach.
What will never occur to him is that he might be wrong and that he is stupidly pontificating about things he doesn't fully understand. As is of course the case here, again. He may be the first person who is eligible for institutionalization due to Dunning-Kruger. :lol:

The original to-do started over 2 years ago. The last discussion of it (that I can track down) was nearly TWO YEARS AGO.
Carrier says he is finally getting around to "clearing the dusty shelves of old unanswered things". We all know the saying 'revenge is a dish best served cold', but this dish is so cold even the mould has given up and walked off to somewhere less forgotten. Jeffery Lowder, the pretend subject of Carrier's new post had this to say:
Get help Dick, and next time you feel the urge to correct some long-distant perceived slight, just remind yourself that nobody gives a shit.I’ve read his rebuttal, but so much time has passed that I will need to re-read his book chapter (yes, I did read it), Barnes’ posts, and my commentary before I can even decide what to make of his rebuttal.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
My hypothesis (which I won't try to prove mathematically with thousands of words of bullshit about Bayesian statistics) about Carrier's latest post is that he happened upon the old criticisms of his work whole he was busy editing all of his old blogposts. The 3 part critique of Carrier by Barnes is a great read, Barnes utterly eviscerates Carrier, and demonstrates that Carrier doesn't even really grasp the concepts of probability at all. Other critiques of Carrier that I have seen demonstrate the same. When Carrier ejaculates his tours de force about Bayesian statistics, it is nothing more than a thick facade of bullshit that he assumes his fans will not even bother to read or understand. When a knowledgeable person does take the time to dissect Carrier's arguments, it always exposes Carrier as a buffoon.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
Also of note, regarding Dr.Richard Carrier PhD, Carrier has claimed in the past that the chapters he wrote in "The End of Christianity" were "peer-reviewed". He has also claimed that he was a peer reviewed for some of the other chapters. I don't have the links offhand, but all you have to do is search "peer review" on his FTB and blogspot blogs.
The piece that Barnes utterly destroys is from "The End of Christianity" so I am assuming that sticky Dicky is claiming that it is "peer-reviewed".

Yup of course the crazy bitch at my last job is still causing issues. I had a friend call up to verify they are being truthful about my position (I was head of the tech support department and IT) I had a feeling that she was downplay my actually role and I wanted to be prepared and adjust my resume according.

Letter of Offer? Ha! Never had one. I have proof I worked there (checks from there W-2) it just crazy she refused to even say whether or not I worked there.

Billie from Ockham:
I personally hope she also gets blackballed from journalism and teaching it, she isn't qualified to do either. Maybe she could get a blog at FtB, she'd fit in there.
Fuck that. She (Connie St. Louis) is a nasty liar that makes malicious crap up to damage people. She outright slandered Milo and accused him of a serious crime. I hope he sues her into oblivion.Accusing someone of making a false falsehood sounds just a tad whiny.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
Cunty St Louis gets away with shit because she is black and is a warrior for social justice
And because it would embarass those who supported her to admit that she is a lying cunt
Supporting her is kind of like giving medals and a promotion to those WW1 Generals who murdered thousands of men out of pure incompetence.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
Smurfy came off as a loud bully to the objective viewer I think. I hate to say so, but St. Louis appears not to be very...intellectually powerful. She was smart enough to ignore the criticism against her and lash out with lies, so she is at least on par with the average scientologist.Lsuoma wrote:Yup. She is a disgrace to journalism.

To me, the shocking aspect of this cartoon is not how the holes in the swiss are made, but rather the belief that swiss is just cheddar with holes in it.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
I'm noticing a form of mental retardation prevalent among SJWs, namely: their personal anecdotes trump any & all evidence from the rest of the world. (another lurker will confirm that Gilliel & Raging Bee are notorious for this.)Phil_Giordana_FCD wrote: "Mona" Says:
:doh: :doh: :doh:“That correlation, there is no evidence for it,” claimed Mona, adding, “I’ve been harassed in Germany a lot of times and it was always by white people, I don’t have the experience of being harassed by refugees”.
I believe there's an 'SJW personality type', with narcissism at its core. Thoughts?

That's how it looks from the inside, too.paddybrown wrote: Looking from the outside, I'd have to say America is insane on the subject of race. Categorising people by tinier and tinier differences.

Actually, it seemed that the US had largely moved past race as a big issue. But obama's 2008 campaign played the race card hard, heavy & incessantly. (Nor has he or his administration ever stopped.) That dredged up a lot of old shit -- primarily, though, on the Left, where White Guilt and xenophilia and the desperate need to be simultaneously liked by PoCs, while coddling them like house pets, addles brains.
Hopefully, after obama's reign comes to an end, we can get back to the things that really unite us as a nation -- manichean scrums over guns & hoovered fetuses.

He thinks that the race card works in everyone's favour - Republicans and Democrats - because if bad policies are criticized, those criticisms can be handwaved away with 'oh, they are just racist'
It's a get out of jail free card.

They all came off as pretty bad. If I was judging I would say Milo won. He mentioned the Pew Poll that people can look up. They brought up his tweets that people can look up. They mention St. Louis lying which can be looked up.
For someone who is interested in this stuff but on the fence they were giving a lot they could google.

I haven't read the whole thing yet.1) Feels Threatened: “An upsetting event occurs and the narcissist feels threatened. It could be rejection of sex, disapproval at work, embarrassment in a social setting, jealousy of other’s success, or feelings of abandonment, neglect, or disrespect”. The micro-aggression occurs. The feminist SJW sees men admiring an advert of a woman with a perfect physique. All the sudden she is reminded of her out of shape body and how she was mercilessly teased about it when younger. She gets nervous. “Most narcissists repeatedly get upset over the same underlying issues whether the issue is real or imagined. They also have a tendency to obsess over the threat over and over”. Its not the first time she gets mad at men for admiring the female body. Last week she chastised her brother for buying a poster of a swimsuit model. She argued with a Redditor over his choice to reject a girl because she’s unattractive. She’s raging over perceived objectification, and as we all know, she’s not alone.
2) Abuses Others: “The narcissist engages in some sort of abusive behavior. The abuse can be physical, mental, verbal, sexual, financial, spiritual or emotional.”. Financial. In an evil capitalist society, the greatest form of abuse is financial. Its why most companies attacked by SJWs cave right away. Its simply not worth losing customers/reputation over a stupid micro-aggression. The feminist might call for a boycott of a clothing store that doesn’t sell XXXL clothing, or the radical homosexual might threaten gay businessmen for donating to a conservative politician. The possibilities are endless. “Finally tired of the assault, the abused defensively fights back”. GamerGate, Menimism, the Men’s Rights Movement, Protein World defending their ad.
3) Becomes the Victim: “This is when the switchback occurs. The narcissist uses the abused behavior as further evidence that they are the ones being abused. The narcissist believes their own twisted victimization by bringing up past defensive behaviors that the abused has done as if the abused initiated the abuse”. If this is not classic SJW behavior then I don’t know what is. Menimism? Oh they’re just using humor to protect the patriarchy. GamerGate? They’re the ones sending poor Anita Sarkeesian those death threats that somehow never surface. The MRA? They’re just shifting attention from all the victimized, 1st world, white womyn feminists.
4) Feels Empowered: “Once the abused have given in or up, the narcissist feels empowered. This is all the justification the narcissist needs to demonstrate their rightness or superiority. The abused has unknowingly fed the narcissistic ego and only to make it stronger and bolder than before. But every narcissist has an Achilles heel and the power they feel now will only last till the next threat to their ego appears”. Whenever a business caves in to SJW demands, they give legitimacy to these mentally ill fuckwits. The more they’re allowed to receive mainstream attention and the more they go unchallenged, the harder it will become to remove entrenched SJW ideals from mainstream society. This is why its so important to openly expose their double standards and logical fallacies.

Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
And if Hillary is elected President, expect more of the same.
I mean, the Republicans will get what they want regardless. Most of what we saw the last 8 years was just political theatre. The Repubs would pretend play hardball, and Obama would pretend play 'ok well I guess I gotta do what they want, they are just so mean'
That way, the Kochs get what they want, and Obama doesn't get the blame. He was forced to cave ! Proof? The fucking TPP, that's what. No true liberal (haha) would support the abomination that is the TPP.
And then we spent the rest of year arguing about teh geys and abortion, because those two subjects are like SQUIRREL to the American public.

Go to legal aid. She has to verify your work status there, or she's getting into legal problems. If legal aid isn't an option, see if there's any pro bono employment attorneys about, or ask at an unemployment office.comhcinc wrote:Scented Nectar wrote: A job would be a lot better than welfare even if you did qualify, although it seems rather unfair that you can't at least get whatever single mothers are always getting.

I can't remember if you are in the States or not but there is no place I know of called "legal aid".
Honestly I fine with her doing it. If asked why I no longer work at that company I intend to say it is because my boss didn't like me and was a little unhinged. Her acting that way on phone calls just help my case.
