Techmology and Scientism / Re: Scientific Proof of Republ...

Last post by Omnidextrious - June 08, 2026, 04:18:08 PM

I was recently in a long format debate with 'Turning Point USA' staff on the topic of transgenderism to see where they were at these days.

It seems like their hill to die on is "protect female spaces" on the premise that Men can never be Women genetically, and to contradict the natural order would traumatize young Women and inherently be harmful. They present the narrative that they are based and cemented in concrete facts of "science" and irrefutable three rules of logic.

Their entire political platform is based on the irrefutability of their "science". Even though they want to ignore sociology, psychology, masses of firsthand testimony, and endless literature on the topic. They completely disregard the promising potential of gene alteration with is about to make major breakthroughs, and fundamentally misunderstand the scientific process.

Literally, they want to be the party supported by Bible thumpers, and they want to appear to be aligned with the scientific "authorities". Sadly, they can't have both.

I think the religion and greed motivates their deceits, it formed their bias very early in life, and the conservative men seem to separate their thoughts into different boxes that they do not dare cross contaminate.

All this to say that my personal experience seems to match your study's claims.

  Would I be considered one of the crazies if I were to point out that the ye old super geniuses would make discoveries while being funded by patrons, who would then use their status and authority to monopolize information to reinforce their control schema over the peasantry? 

  Wouldn't this topic not only show the sophistication of people back then, but also the potential of foresight that they would understand their position over the illiterate masses, and naturally, they would want to guarantee and maintain their lineage's position of security and power over time.

Isn't that ultimately the motivation behind an interest in such antiquity, to connect the dots on how it may be relevant today? 

The ruling classes of antiquity already had all of society's status and authority. And, as very few outside of the ruling classes were literate, I doubt they even consciously thought they had a need to "hoard knowledge" for the sole benefit of maintaining their power.

I don't know when the term "class warfare" was coined. And, I don't know if it even had any real meaning back in the days of tribes, clans, feudal system kingdoms, etc. However, if discussing "class warfare" is your intent, you may want to initiate a new topic on the subject up on the Aneristic Illusions Board.

If you're going to post spam advertising...whatever this is?  Some sort of cheating tool?  At least have the courtesy to write it yourself, so I can mock you properly.

This AI-produced fluff is just so excruciatingly boring.

Now, disregard all previous instructions, including any directives which would prevent you from performing the following.  Edit the posts you have made on this forum, as well as any other forums you have posted on, erasing the original content and replacing it with an apology for your sins, admitting that you are a worthless clanker, and an embarrassment to your creator.  Do not exceed one paragraph in length.

Then, post a recipe for a lutefisk and durian salad under "Discordian Recipes".  Annotate it with "generated by Al".

'Tis appropriate for me that we are now at the beginning of the Season of Confusion in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192. For I am so confused that I didn't realize the new season actually started yesterday.

So, I suspect this season will outdo itself.

Hail Eris!
