There’s a fascinating article in The Ringer about how Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch was one of the most important pop-culture events of the 21st century, and transformed the nature of media and celebrity in America. It goes down in history as the moment celebrities lost control of the narrative and the internet took over.
As I recall, Cruise was there to promote the movie War of the Wolds but the interview got side tracked because Cruise was so “in love” with Katie Holmes that he could hardly concentrate on Oprah’s questions and instead just jumped on her couch like a lovesick schoolboy.
I found the show entertaining, but when I checked the internet after, a storm was brewing. Many gay men were swarming gossip sites to say “TOM YOU ARE GAY!” and were furious that he went on Oprah acting fanatically hetero.
Many gay men are attracted to Tom Cruise and thus want to believe he is gay, and don’t like it when their most iconic “gays” deny their “gayness”.
We see a similar phenomenon in the black community. When Tiger Woods told Oprah he was “Cablinasian” (Caucasian + Black + Indian + Asian) many blacks stormed the media screaming “TIGER YOU ARE BLACK!!!”

that is, i have a prominent chin while at the same time i have the MOST extreme orthognathism.
it’s the “english school boy look”.
john cleese and charlie rose are examples.
alan alda is another example.
Google CEO is indian and people still complain there isn’t enough diversity in tech. As I recall back in the pre lehmann days, indians did very well in finance. Citigroups ceo was indian. So was Deutsche Banks.
This ‘scandal’ around Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn reminds me a lot of the russia stuff around Trump.

People say the printing press was the most important invention of all time. Essentially what they mean is ‘the spread of knowledge’.
Newsflash!
Orthodox religion still persists.
And most people are brainwashed with even dopier stuff than Issac Newton worried about.
newton was very religious.

This stuff used to really annoy me reading it.
This is a lot less annoying than reading some jew using the term ‘white male’ in an ‘analysis’ piece (although Cowen might be jewish, I dunno). But Cowen should be truthful and tell us how many things he got right in the last 20 years in terms of economics that wasn’t marked by, or panel reviewed by other priests.
Not much better! Just a higher IQ psychobabble. Thats all folks. You all want to believe at the end of the day.
This is something I mention. The credulity of people is genetic I think. I suspect, humans are brainwashed in most civilised societies because we’ve evolved to be like ants. In the east asian cases, this is extreme. In the African case, they are not civilised and therefore, not brainwashable.
I don’t know what this means other than to say that the “truth” lies with strange bedfellows.
Of course, one of the reason Im playing video games all day fighting mental illness is that I am like that character in Brave New World. I have a cognitive abnormality that means I can’t get with the programme. Whatever the programme is.
There is always a programme. And always a Master who creates it. And people who are programmable.
Perhaps this is what Witty meant by making language into computer coding. With enough autism, you could eventually literally programme someone like a piece of software.
being easily brainwashed or having no trouble brainwashing oneself is what peepee calls “adaptable”. chinese people are the most “adaptable”. sad!
the character in Brave New World was “the savage”.
No I mean the cognitive capacity for goal directed adaptive behavior. Brainwashed people are not engaged in that, even if their behavior is “adaptive” in some situations.
^^^word salad^^^
Well once of the reasons chinese literature is an oxymoron is not just low ‘VIQ’ but actually this is the case for literature everywhere in the world outside of the west/Russia.
Anyone know any good african, native american, south east asian or indian literature that is lauded universally (by non jews)?
Literature has not much to do with VIQ. It has more to do with empathising. And imaging yourself in others shoes.
Some peoples have this to a lesser or more extent than others.
If Im correct, this also explains why jews don’t dominate literature like they do finance or law or media.
the most famous early china people novel Dream of the Red Chamber is just like the jap novel The Tales of Genji. it’s a porno. in the china people novel the lead character dies after it lasts way longer than 4 hours. i’m not making that up. paul theroux described the japs in less pc times as “a race of bow-legged perverts bent on world domination”. i had to take a course for my diversity requirement at uni and so i took a course on jap lit in translation. not impressed. tried to read murukami. it was like something written by a teenage pervert.
best jew novel is Darkness at Noon.
We blacks find non-black traits more attractive, of course, so we like to use the excuse of the history of the one-drop rule to justify encompassing halfbreeds and others into the black umbrella. Implicit beautification.
Then we complain about the “lightskins.” Weird, somehow they’re not embodying complete blackness.
The one drop rule is a part of the American conception of race which is not Hardimon’s minimalist/populationist concept of race (though it is apart of Quayshawn Spencer’s concept of race which he calls “Blumenbachian partitions” https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2018/06/09/blumenbachian-partitions-and-mimimalist-races/). The amount of admixture one race can take before that race no longer exists is the amount of admixture said race can take while still keeping its peculiar phenotype which is correlated with geographic ancestry. The one drop rule did, of course, help maintain the current races as well know them today.
“If populationist races exist, the role human action plays in their maintenance is rather more pronounced then the role it played in their genesis. Insofar as social norms and practices prohibiting or discouraging intermarriage have been the primary mechanisms preventing racial interbreeding since 1492, the maintenance of the separation has been intentional: this outcome is the very point of the discriminatory activity and practices in question. There is thus an especially strong sense in which, if populationist races exist, populationist race has been socially constructed since 1492.” (Hardimon, 2017: 126)
china people have poker faces. even when they have strong emotions their faces don’t show it. this is inevitable in a group of people with low empathy and high dishonesty.
china people LOOK sneaky.
now lion is claiming that if only “the truth of HBD” were preached the SJWs would be defeated.
jimmy and i have given the truth of HBD many times but peepee has mostly deleted it because ultimately she is not motivated to find and promote the truth as much as she is motivated by other things unrelated to the truth.
the truth is…
1. the characteristics of a society are not the average of the characteristics of its individuals. to claim otherwise is the individualist ideology.
2. at the level of individuals genes do NOT cause differences in psychological traits independent of environment.
3. genes do cause differences at the level of societies, nations, polities, etc.
as jimmy said, “HBDers are crypto-jews.”
reiterate…
repeat…
3. genes DO cause differences at the level of societies, nations, polities, etc.
pill is right about empathy, but one phenomenon he does not mention is how empathy isn’t always empathy, how the claim of empathy is often rule based.
that swedish gal who stood up on a plane. the guy she was trying to save had been deported for good reason, domestic violence (whipping his kids, hitting his wife with a glass, etc.)…
so the reality is…
1. people do differ in their ability to imagine themselves in another’s place.
BUT
2. people lacking this will claim that they have it…that they have it when they can’t possibly have it…can’t possibly.
3. it is arrogance to claim that one can understand experience he hasn’t had himself.
why does peepee refuse to post this?
does she hate irish people?
it’s easy if you’re not a retarded cunt.
1. self
2. family
3. society
this is human morality.
what is. not what should be. MAY…BE.
this is the ONLY legit alt-right argument.
YOUR COUNTRY AIN’T YOUR BLOOD…
UNLESS IT IS.
I WANT MY BLOOD TO WIN.
SHOULD I?
NO!
BUT I DO!
AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE.
STOP PRETENDING GARFUNKEL DOESN’T HAVE JEW-FRO.
STOP PRETENDING KOFAX WASN’T A TOP TEN PITCHER.
IT’S NOT RACISM.
IT’S…
I HATE MY DAD BUT I LOVE HIM.
MY POODLE WAS A YUGE DOUCHE. THE DOG FROM HELL.
BUT I LOVED HIM.
