3. Ngannou

Agree or disagree?

"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world.

The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries."

I agree to an extent. We shouldn't discount the very real and substantial gains of the Industrial Revolution but people tend to do the opposite and assume that its only brought good while overlooking these issues that Kaczinski highlights here.

Also, what does it say about me that I immediately recognized this was Kaczinski's work but still had to Google his name to find out how to spell it?

Gonzaga's hype train/scariness after that was unreal too. BJJ-er who took down one of the great sprawlers with ease, beat him up, and then KTFO'd him with his own high kick.

I feel like he had ridiculous potential that went unrealized because he didn't train at a top camp. Imagine if he trained with someone like Rafael Cordeiro.
 
@HereticBD

How is your father an alpha male? You are his son correct?

How does an alpha male give birth to such a skinny pathetic son? You look like you are anorexic. You are such a whiny little weasel on this forum.

Does daddy Heretic know the bench press is being neglected?

Meh, He got overrated after beating Cro Cop. Which wasn't a shock since he was off Pride vitamins.

Probably, hype trains can g et crazy after a win like that. But he still stuck around for years afterwards. despite the fact that he plateaued not long after. Not only did he not train with a great camp but he also never seemed to have great fight IQ. Such a shame since he had great skills.

I might disagree with literally every point he makes. I used to agree with at least the whole rape of nature thing, but I've more recently become aware of just how terrible environmental destruction was pre-industrial revolution and especially as we go further back. For instance, evidence of catastrophic deforestation throws the civilization collapse hypotheses centered on Minoan and ancient Greek culture into a tailspin. And the macro-fauna, holy shit! For every ill allegedly caused by technology, technology offers solutions that we use today that were unavailable, and the disasters we would face without technology to aid us now, well, again holy shit. We also have next to no evidence about the greater human psychological condition, so it's extremely dishonest to beg the question there, and I suspect we were mentally unhealthier.

Yeah, it's hard to say. I think climbing to the top so early in his career might have been bad for it in retrospect. Mirko and Randy were only the ninth and tenth fights of his career and afterwards he ended up being the gatekeeper to some eventual high level contenders like Carwin, JDS, and Stipe, the former two of which were pretty difficult matchups for him.
 
I love that you can hear a guy behind the camera say "dumbass" as this hoosier is trying to feed the cubs

Ok. I take it your father didn't give the go ahead. He gets first dibs on the weak.

Your dad, the alpha male you say he is. Does he call you or text you? What is his preferred method of communication?

I will let you off the hook if you reply to this in jest, if not, you will be chased off this forum.

Oh', that cuts deep. Maybe if you repeat your played out material 900 more times, it will cut deeper. LOL

You're a joke, bud. You got nothin'. Erase your sig. At the very least, those guys aren't as boring as you.
