War Room Lounge v61: Fun Fact: 'Race Bannon' describes two different individuals in Orbit Trump

[Jack V Savage]

Yeah, I'm not sure segments of society have lost the ability to assess information. So much as never having had it, but previously having fewer information channels to cope with.
There's definitely a fragmentation of "common knowledge" along partisan and contrarian lines though.

It's a kind of shrinking of the societal mind. Those threads are like the encounter between different societies, one of which has been sort of left behind.

Hmm. Couple of known culprits with the usual BS.

To be fair, I threw a curve ball in there and said it was the Royals who are Wasps. It actually sort of stuck too.

Or are they?

What are "wasps" ?

But like, instead of a microphone, it's a paintbrush fashioned out of pubic hair. Isn't it soft, Tycho?

You keep your micro-knob to yourself, Harold!

@Kafir-kun I don't know where your post is, but I'm with you on Lost in Translation. I always considered myself a big fan, but on a recent rewatch it didn't do nearly as much for me.

I'm not sure if I'm over Scarlett's cuteness or if my goldfish millenial mind just can't deal with the pacing anymore, but it definitely got a downgrade from the must-watch list.

As I understand it, On November 13, Limbo Pete was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her.

With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his friend, Waiguoren. Several years earlier, Waiguoren's wife had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

Great sitcom idea. Deserves at least a pilot.

Have you watched anything with Lucas Leite and coyote half guard? I got a series with Lachlan but it’s pretty broad and I think I’ve taken what I can from it at this point. Wondering who I should move to next.

This is the depth of depravity that it takes for a moderately intelligent person to support Trump.

I don't know if these people are ever coming back. The reaction to the Epstein suicide has been dumber than any CT fodder so far, even Pizza Gate (where people actually attempted to piece together evidence or allowed themselves to be fooled by charlatans, rather than just straight up inventing the whole thing). The logic is worse, the contradictions are greater and less deniable. It's not just that there is a standard crowd that will have that sort of reaction, it's that they're losing their grasp on reality more each time. And his older fans are moving that way too (see any rally), bee-lining toward fascism in the same general direction as the younger, thankfully-non-voting retards that pollute the WR.

And yeah it's somehow far worse when reasonably intelligent people go in for it. They're more responsible for choosing to be that way.

This is what I'm saying. People are losing their mental tools, or seeing a regression in the types of tools they can use. In many cases, developing mental tools that are equivalent to this:

It doesn't matter how smart you are as an individual (I believe wai's claim that he's in the 80th percentile, for example). If you learn to think like a CTer, you can be dangerously wrong about everything.

Bolded: hearty, hearty chuckle.

I've actually got a guy telling me that it's invalid to use Occam's Razor to establish that, without further evidence, Epstein committing suicide is a preferable explanation to Epstein committing suicide with the help of guards. It's madness, and I think it could even be intentional madness that got out of hand. Like, smarter people can be turned like vampires and lose their smarts.

I thought it was pretty great, frankly. You may not have thought it was particularly funny but it was really accurate and realistic and that alone gave me a perma-grin. As for the latter paragraph, I think the film accurately showed how people, whether white Americans or anyone else, often go to other countries completely unprepared for the cultural differences they will encounter yet also expecting their cultural differences to be the foremost consideration. This idea has a broader application (which I think you can guess) but I don't want to get into that here.

These days, there isn't much excuse for that since the internet is full of advice for travelers but people still don't bother so I think it was a valid area to shine a spotlight on even back then.

I can see why people like it, its a well done film on many levels. But it didn't resonate with me too deeply.

Certain movies have a lot more punch on the first viewing but those are generally films that rely on a twist. Lost in Translation doesn't though.

LOL 1/2 is something I am back to working on right now.

I am working on keeping them low and then pivoting out the hip and putting the Z in for recovery or maybe a sub. And when they come up with pressure I bridge for an under hook / whizzer counter. I also have a decent but not stellar half butterfly game. But when they go arm over and start attacking the kimora, especially if they are big, I am still having real problems.

I have done the Kesting DVD which is decent but its a bit of a move collection and not enough posture/ tactical / reaction stuff.

I have also just done the Stephan Wittier Pillars set, which I really like. Its not as professional or from a big name, but his approach/focus to getting posture right in the position before doing any moves really clicks for me. I was getting smashed going underneath and he has almost solved that for me.

From a brief reveiw, that DVD you did looks pretty good btw. Was there an area that you felt was missing (defenses, subs, certain sweeps)?

 

[waiguoren]

That sounds like a fancy way of saying you lie a lot.

How so, Mr Crazy?

I have lived in many countries and met thousands of people. I have worked many types of jobs. Now I invest full-time from home, which allows me the freedom to travel more and meet even more people.

I wish the best for you, Mr. Crazy.

Why should anyone take any particular position of yours seriously enough to even think about it if you might be doing this? It seems that your rejection of expertise and embrace of CTism might not be on the level, for example. Or your weak excuse to bail on the other piece. Or your implausible excuse for why you won't address Hanson's nuttery.



Yes, of course. The study is upsetting to your tribe so it must be flawed (and you're again committing the same fallacy when you dismiss the study based on the identity of the researchers). But the facts are too obvious to dismiss here. Here's Noah Smith humorously looking back on some notable arguments.



Yes, it can't be a science and the whole field must be dismissed because the findings are upsetting to your tribe, and an individual thinker who enrages you is extraordinarily highly regarded. This isn't much different from creationists saying that evolution is full of holes and saying that Darwin was an evil man.



That is definitively refuted by his relatively low standing in their field.



It would take you 30 seconds to see the link of a page you claim to read regularly (and thus to a post you would have encountered already). However, you cannot address it without either admitting that Hanson is prone to some highly silly and inhumane thinking or that you are also so prone. Quite the bind you're in, and you're "I don't have time to read a couple of paragraphs" excuse is transparently dishonest.

Mr Jack, you are quite prolific!

I simply don't have the time to respond to you in full. Briefly, I do recall the rape/cuckoldry posts from Overcoming Bias, but I never took the deep dive to try to read/understand them. I do intend to take that time now that you have mentioned it, but I can't get to it today.

As for your persistent accusations of tribalism, I am curious which tribe you think I belong to. When I asked you this question previous, you couldn't even name 10 members of this supposed tribe. If you were to attempt that, I'm confident I could present profound differences that I have with at least half of the members of the supposed tribe. If I'm right about that, and if you are a rational person, then the above will cause you to question your belief that I am a member of the supposed tribe.

The notion that one having a "lower status" in the field of macroeconomics proves that one is a less careful thinker than those of higher status is so ridiculous that I wonder if there is any point in carrying out further discourse with you!

Finally, I suggest strongly that you review the definition of "science" as expressed by e.g., Karl Popper. If you do so, you will realize that macroeconomics is not a science and probably can never be.

Cheers, Mr . Jack.
