Lauren Ambrose
My coworkers and I were at lunch and the server looked like Lauren Ambrose from my favorite show Six Feet Under.
When I requested a straw for my Ice Tea, she told me there was a no-straw policy because they are trying to help the Oceans, but if I wanted one she would get it.
“If you don’t mind,” I said.
Apparently she did mind, because the straw never came, but other than that the service was great.
I decided to say nothing because I didn’t want her to think I didn’t care about the safety of the fish.
It occurred to me that she must be low on psychopathy to have risked such a large tip just to defend the fish.
Had HBD Chick and her fan Jayman been there, they would have perhaps thought it was because she is Nordic, and Northwestern Europeans are more genetically moral because of a lack of cousin marriage.
porn is like terrorism. it fails because the people behind it are morons.
good porn is easy. just have cameras, motionless cameras, and no camera-men/-women.
it’s easy.
and make sure the man-whore and the woman-whore know each other.
the stereotype that men only care about the not-brain and women only care about the brain is BULLSHIT.
BUT…
women LOVE tall.
sad!
swank is like a girl with a yuge crush on a boy so she exercises.
gross.
you’re born with it or you’re not.
with women and with men.
same thing.
Lazy and stupid Anglo “philosophy.”
people are matched at birth.
horrible, but true.
How Cynical to believe in social hierarchy
that half jew girl i’m still in love with…
her jew dad looks exactly like my goy dad, peace be upon him.

Theyre trying to annoy him.
CNN was founded by ted turner and is basically an arm of the CIA/CFR. Doesn’t make sense unless you are not autistic like me and know they organised to take over it.
1. swank tries to compensate for his shortness by becoming buff.
2. in swank’s home village in israel he would not be short.
3. conclusion: swank’s idea of Cynicism is the exact opposite of Cynicism.
if i were a short jewish man like swank i’d try to hook up with a black woman.
swank has one-itis for a tall girl.
this is sad.
so sad.
almost as sad as general tso’s chicken.
peepee has one-itis for a 64 year old black lesbian with a tiny head.
even more sad.
« tiny » is so wrong . She doesn’t look like being a lesbian ? Is she ? As she a best friend who is a girl ?
I suppose she would date people who are blond or black, because it suits most black people tastes who have a huge choice.
Does she have blond or black « best friend » women or men that would be the one ?
Another question is does she have a man that she pretends dating who would obviously not fit into this category (like gay or without previous dating record), that would be a cover ?
Then there is always the possibility of the person being asexual and trying to hide it.
another Cynic recently departed is tobias schneebaum, one of swank’s tribe.
schneebaum admits to himself in his old age that he is and always has been physically unattractive…and he doesn’t care, despite being gay, like swank.
simply accept that women over 5’2″ will find you repulsive.
stop bodybuilding.
Is bodybuilding only for women….?
But, at this point it’s clear that your continued focus on fixed identities is just your way of coping with the fear of trying.
Something or things happened to you that shook your confidence and you’ve been running ever since.
It’s sad. The mark of a girly man. The only possible reason you would identify will Phil….
you will never play professional basketball swank.
skeleton = fixed identity
when people strive it shows. people who talk of goals don’t have any intrinsic motivation. the most accomplished people are always those who love what they do. their “goals” aren’t goals. they’re who they are. to impose goals on oneself so that one may be esteemed by others or rewarded by others in some way is ovine.
a depak chopra says, “you’re a human being not a human doing.” total douche.
human needs = un-Cynical. the Cynic does strive in one way. he strives to be more Cynical. this means knowing the difference between needs and wants and making the set of needs as small as possible.
you will never play professional basketball swank.
if it were my dream to do so, the Cynic would say, ‘so what?’
granted, to play ‘professionally’ is not likely to be motivated by anything other than social concerns.
but to endeavor to achieve excellence at that level is very Cynical
and the welcoming of hardship in pursuit of it even moreso.
this guy was much shorter than I and managed…
when people strive it shows. people who talk of goals don’t have any intrinsic motivation
it should show.
you are such a pussy.
ah, and next comes the Anglo LAZY AND STUPID generalization….= “why try, you COULD fail, that is VERY SCARY for an Englishman!”
human needs = un-Cynical
And the highest need is…
SELF-ACTUALIZATION the development of arete…
the most accomplished people are always those who love what they do. their “goals” aren’t goals. they’re who they are. to impose goals on oneself so that one may be esteemed by others or rewarded by others in some way is ovine.
i already said this awhile ago.
Y O U R dreams.
and yes, I agree….people who get to know themselves will find that they have no choice but to pursue their chosen paths and to develop excellence.
and anyone who is dedicated to that pursuit, is NOT a loser…nor would anyone deem that person a LOSER — weird, strange, eccentric, not rich, maybe…NOT a LOSER.
virtue is recognized, even though it does not care if it is recognized.
it’s both hilarious and pathetic that swank has goals and peepee equates intelligence with the ability to achieve one’s goals.
SHEEP!
Everyone has goals. Your goal is to have no goals.
“Let him that would move the world first move himself.”
“I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.”
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
Socrates…the original sheep.
I actually like Barack Obama. But his speeches and thing he says are super boring. If he was anything like Kanye though, the danes are correct that it would be make unviable for president.
I imagine Obama is not boring at all and has some good views. Maybe even hbd lite views on race considering his multinational childhood….but whether the media does it or him, everything he says is sanitised garbage.
Obama uses the same stock 15 or 20 terms and phrases in every speech. ‘vision’ is a big one. I think he used the word ‘struggle’ a few times. My stomach turns hearing a grown man with an iq over 100 saying that term non ironically.
I dont have the patience to watch the whole thing. But if you compare this to a video made in the 70s or 60s, you can definitely see evidence of dysgenics going on.
I really question the Flynn effect. But its purportedly statistically true. I just find it hard to believe.
Someone on one of the conspiracy websites raised the idea that americans are actually being chemically altered to becoming blobby floatasms like these people. Americans are seriously fat. But with east asians and europeans, you don’t get this type of obesity, you get skinny fat.
And their faces always look childlike and pozzed. People didn’t look retarded in the 50s.
So krugman says a lot of sense about economics. Which im genuinely surprised by. I didn’t think the NYT would let anyone talk sense on any issue. I used to read his blog.
Then 2 weeks ago starts talking about Russia.
Its like your teacher in school talking about cell division and then dropping to the floor, pulling out his member and repeatedly shouting ‘i curse thee’ ‘i curse thee’.
How can someone intelligent hold something ridiculous to be true.
A: He doesn’t believe in it.

Philo, I concur with your guess that our dear pp is an adopted child from Korean origin but I don’t see the point in posting pictures of Koreans constantly. We know how the Korean looks like.
Btw, my mother – of southern Spain origin with very pale skin- had a chance to give classes in Asia (Japan, China and Korea) and, she loves them all, but the Korean the most. She said their are the least difficult to understand, the Chinese being the most complicated, even if they seems as informal and warm like south European superficially. She maintains relations with 3various Koreans still.
Your mother sounds racist because she worked in asia instead of mother africa.
She went were she was told to go … But she gave classes in Egypt and Madagascar too …
today rogan interviews a lady Cynic based on the description. haven’t listened yet.
Valentine Thomas is a former lawyer and financier who quit, to pursue a sustainable quest for happiness as a spearfisherwoman.
Trumps comment about lebrons IQ really triggered a lot of people.
When youre in a social bubble, people who are bovine will want, emotionally, to go with what the group is saying no matter how dumb. This is as Swanky says, a kind of survival instinct.
What Swanky will never explain is how the nonsense is created about turtles floating with the world on their back or what the sun god Ra demands from you. Swanky won’t explain the manufacturing of morality.
So you have a black hole basically and swanky will basically argue morality is whatever people are comfortable in being duped into. Which is the kind of thing certain ethnic groups with certain personality traits would claim.
More shit I never said…
but you’ve yet to say anything. so meaningless.
I’ve said plenty, you literally cannot understand, grok, or comprehend it.
When I say that you can’t interpret anything outside of the small Anglo-idedology prism — I mean it.
At the base:
(1) Fixed hierarchy
(2) Hatred of that which goes against the hierarchy as you see it.
Your “jurisprudence,” “philosophy,” etc. boils down to (1) and (2).
That is why you can’t even see or sense the effects of racism. It’s too subtle for you.
Whats funny about Hitchens, Dennet and Dawkins is that they critique morality weaving from a kind of academic position. But they never go on to explain who moral standards in general, are also made up and ridiculous.
So Harris literally said to Dennet and Dawkins in a video how about race/IQ differences and they stayed silent. They never bothered asking themselves why they felt the need to be silent about something objective, but then ironically pat themselves on the back for saying the local priest is saying nonsense.
conditioning and fear. the fear is conditioned and rational at the same time.
In this way it is a TOTAL and complete false equivalence to equate organised religion with what the CFR do in the Washington Post about trying to start an invasion of Iran or Syria.
Most of what Pope Francis or the head of the orthodox church in eastern europe says is not relevant to real world life and death. Most of it is ‘personal spiritual advice’.
Lying to people about nuclear weapons in Iraq or the threat from Vladmiir Putin is a waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse than anything religious people say.
My sister is a rock solid average person. My dad is really really dumb.
The difference between the two on their notion of morality is subtle but different. My sister will want some evidence or reasoning for why she should believe soemthing. My dad will be a lot more innocent about it. Which is why hes religious. And my sister is not.
But both believe to some extent in PC.
Once you get beyond a certain intellectual bandwidth, you either get extreme conformity like Bill Gates or extreme ‘dangerous thinking’ like certain celebrities im not allowed mention.
Both would see me as ‘mad’.
The local doctor, who is probably the highest IQ person statistically in the town, said 90% of the things I say are not crazy. 10% of me is out there.
Thats still better than 90% of what my sister or dad thinks is moral or true.
how many actually believe in PC? when a dog is taught a trick he doesn’t believe in the trick. mass media and formal education conditions people as much as it convinces people.
I just spend 19 of the past 24 hours in bed obsessing about something. I don’t feel very well at all. I wish i could be cured. I feel really bad.
fake news!
could be talking about me. (derp)
the problem here is that muggy believes that ‘dream’ means something different than what I (and most others) take it to mean.
a dream is not unlike a compulsion. it’s just something you do that you enjoy doing and also results in a product — whether tangible or intangible, creation is necessary.
the problem with civilization is that it divorces individuals from their natural creative inclinations and directs them toward producing on behalf of others.
in an ideal society your happiness doesn’t depend on the subjective assessment of other people. to be a free man and not a slave is exactly this. taleb gets it. it’s the way it used to be not too long ago when almost everyone was just a small time farmer. the harvest is success or failure. totally objective.
a dream is not unlike a compulsion.
“not un-“. sad!
“compulsion”. sad!
producing on behalf of others = slavery
the specialization of labor makes everyone richer and everyone a slave at the same time.
I didn’t say it was a compulsion, I said it was “not unlike.” A dream requires creation and love of the process in creating. A compulsion requires neither. The similarity lies in the repetitiveness.
in an ideal society your happiness doesn’t depend on the subjective assessment of other people. to be a free man and not a slave is exactly this.
anglo ‘dog-eat-dog by another name’ nonsense.
man is THE social animal and any human emotion will be strongly affected by his fellow men and women.
happiness is NOT eudaimonia.
only an ANGLO would be so juvenile.
human flourishing is the pursuit of that which truly inspires you, despite any and all threats that may come your way.
that may include threats to your happiness.
Van Gogh and Nietzsche went mad pursuing what they loved to do.
how do you say?
the specialist is both necessary to maximizing welfare and insecure; he can’t do anything else.
over the last 200 years in the west production has become very social and this fact is unrecognized.
the libertarian still imagines we all live in the wild west.
i agree with orban, matteo salvini is my hero!
rome leads the way again!
peepee wouldn’t post it, but there are some very simple changes the roman church might make that would make rome once again the eternal city.
1. quit it with the mary crap.
2. make it plain that fag priests and chimo priests aren’t priests…they will all be retroactively defrocked.
3. the rome wins…rome always wins.
if a hero of yours is a world leader, you are definitely not a Cynic.
my surname is the swiss guard par excellence.
everyone wants the roman church to get it right.
but it just keeps failing.
sad!
taleb also remarks that the roman church is just the roman empire by another name.
That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
rome is…
the last best chance for man, the final chance for mankind.
it’s noteworthy that the actor above died from AIDS. an anti-Cynic expressing Cynicism.
also noteworthy is that Chariots of Fire won best picture and its producer died in a car crash with princess di.
here he is again…
Chariots of Fire is both a shitty movie and a great movie. did i put it in my top 10?
ben cross was very good looking in that movie but then as he aged he looked more like a witch.

Speaking of thiel.
Actually Peter Thiel seems to be a really smart guy.
the gospel of luke does give mary a special place. so does the council of nicaea.
but the idea that jesus happened to be male and therefore gay priests elevate mary to the female version of jesus.
this is just gay.
PC on steroids.
it used to be that the roman saints thing was just a way of saying, “jesus is so fucking terr-ible and awe-full we can’t stand it.”
after the homos took over the roman church the thing with the saints and mary has just become paganism.
matteo salvini agrees.
People of magical descent.

Just looking at the comments on a CNN video. There are a lot of people out there that are in big trouble. Either that, or some of these commenters are puppet accounts. Which I wouldn’t put past our friends.

Dont see any mention of Paul Singer forcing argentina to pay on defaulted debt. Strange omission. NOT.
Swank what middle eastern countries should we not invade?
Saudi Arabia has a (((puppet))) government so would you let them off?
How about Jordan. Their king is related I think to the British monarchy in some fashion. And he seems to do whatever Israel tells him (e.g. take refugees).
Just want to go through the list with you and see which ones you like and don’t like.
Argentina’s debt restructuring
In 2014, Griesa presided over the Argentine debt restructuring, on remand following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to permit vulture funds, who in the period June 2001 to November 2003 (that is from half a year before the Argentine default on December 26, 2001) bought bonds, which are negotiable instruments and therefore, like bond owners all over the world, never drew any pay from the issuing country, to access potentially an array of bank records to locate financial assets overseas in seeking compensation.[12] negotiable instruments like bonds are bought and sold like commodities at the price seller and buyer agree upon. Paul Singer’s Cayman Islands-based hedge fund NML Capital Limited is the principal litigant in this dispute, having paid considerably more than US$90 million in the secondary market for bonds with a face value of US$832 million by 2014. With interest accrued, “NML’s share of the bounty, according to government figures, is $832 million from assets it purchased for $48.7 million — representing a return of 1,608 percent.”[13] Through an official press release published on Friday afternoon, June 27, 2014, the Argentine government stated that Griesa attempted to “block the payment for bondholders,” and committed an abuse of authority, after cancelling the deposit made on Thursday into a Bank of New York account. The text specified “the deposited amounts are fiduciary property of the holders” and it is the duty of the fiduciary agent to “hold them on behalf of the holders’ benefit.”[14] Judge Griesa’s ruling was upheld by the full United States Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court found no reason to revise Griesa’s ruling.
Controversy
The reliability of the Argentine claim (“We are not in default”) can be judged by
1. Definition of default in the original prospectus for Argentina’s 2005 debt exchange:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, Argentina’s obligations to make payments of principal and interest on the New Securities shall not have been satisfied until such payments are received by registered holders of the New Securities.”
2. Similar in the original prospectus for Argentina’s 2010 debt exchange.
3. All the major rating agencies has declared Argentina to be in default
Argentina Put Into Selective Default by Standard & Poor’s
Moody’s changes Argentina’s outlook to negative as default will hasten economic decline
Fitch downgrades Argentina to ‘restricted default’
China’s Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. Cuts Argentina to Default
The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) declares Argentina in default, bonds extend losses.
According to American economist and recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Joseph Stiglitz, with Griesa’s decision “America is throwing a bomb into the global economic system”.[15]
Mauricio Macri
Griesa saw the elevation of Mauricio Macri to the office of President of Argentina as a key development that, in his words, “changes everything” and may lead to a final resolution of the disputes arising from the default.[16]
Griesa was paid by elliiot management to basically bankrupt the country and appoint a CIA lackey. Very sad.
Very sad.
I’ve been reading about the american communist party recent history last half hour.
This is their platform in the last presidential election.
Platform
Rapid conversion to 100% renewable energy to stop fossil-fuel-induced climate change
For a just transition: Guaranteed jobs at top union wages for all workers displaced in the conversion to renewable energy
Quality, universal government-paid health care and education
Abolition of all racist, sexist, and homophobic laws and practices.
Affordable housing and jobs for all at top union wages
For $15 and a union now, as a short first step toward a minimum wage high enough to sustain quality living standards
Abolition of the U.S. war machine
Amnesty, legalization, and equal rights for all immigrants
For a Labor Party based on a revitalized, democratic, and expanded labor movement that is allied with the oppressed and exploited
For a workers’ government! Abolish capitalism! For socialism![4]
This really funny part is that the US can afford nationalised third level ed and healthcare and make it cheaper to provide, especially if it gets rid of the armed forces of Israel’s servants aka US army.
I actually agree with a lot of stuff on this list.
The amnesty for immigrants. Not a big fan at all.
Broadly speaking the CFR would agree with these ‘fringe’ ‘far left’ groups on most of the social stuff. Possibly even more extremist actually to be frank on social issues.
But on economics, Im pretty sure nationalised banking is not on the list of demands.
the US elite needs an enemy to avoid examining itself and thus committing suicide.
Lets take mormonism.
Joseph Smith literally comes back into town and says he found a tablet from God and says a bunch of made up stuff that 16m people believe today.
I don’t think smith would ever have thought he would have that influence when he was using it as a gambit.
The important lesson in this story isn’t mormons, or smith but how a cult can ossify into a social system and stay there, long after the short sighted intentions of its founder.
You know, since he died, much more than 16m people have been influenced by his nonsense in some way. And you repeat that for other ideologies.
My point is that its kind of remarkable, if not bizarre how long these reasons for human social organisation persist, no matter how ludicrous the original material was. A few years ago, a mormon could have been president.
I think the way mormonism developed is similar enough to PC, islam, north koreas kim cult and so on.
In this way, you see that most people really are, from birth, conditioned to serve. In most cases, a Master who long since died. Fascinating.
If you understand the theory of cults, I think you crack human society. I think its more useful to see societies like this, than the marxist one or especially the autistic technocratic one.
Society isn’t the advancement of light bulbs or economic structures. Its people like Michael.
marx would have said cults were part of the “superstructure”. he claimed social structure is determined by the economy.
And you repeat that for other ideologies.
but smith set up an organization with priests. PC has no offices or official organization. but getting rid of ants may be impossible. they always come back. so a functioning society needs something like metronomic chemotherapy to keep the ant population small.
In Orthodox Marxism, the base determines the superstructure in a one-way relationship.
1. the USSR did NOT fail economically. yuge LIE.
2. but even if it did the idea that central planning is thus for all time proved inefficient is gay.
3. that is, what failed/succeeded in one epoch may succeed/fail in another…as techne advances.
at the time of the russian revolution russia was a an extreme third world shithole like brazil. its economy continued to grow up until its dissolution despite the YUGE amount it HAD to spend on its military.
the USSR put the first man into space. it’s MIGs were better than any american fighter jets for a while. it won numerous nobels in science.
is russia better today? is any part of eastern europe better today than it would have been under the warsaw pact?
easy…NO!
but be eclectic. sometimes the free market is best. sometimes it’s NOT. healthcare is an example where single government payer is the most ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT.
and as time goes on, in general, government should take up more and more of the economy…because information technology makes it MORE efficient.
friedman criticized socialist utopians as imagining that angels could be recruited to govern…
in this he admitted that if angels could be recruited the planned economy would be best,
and info tech is becoming angelic.
Pumpkin, here is an good idea for an post:
“the genetic IQ of criminals in the US”.
The avarage IQ of criminals is lower than 100, but criminality also correlates with poor environments, so could you entangle it genotypic IQ with your PP adjustments?
A french researher has made an interesting synthesis of different studies about correlation among IQ and brain properties. His conclusion is that high IQ have properties which are on a continuum with normal IQ. He says there is not yet any proof of a qualitative difference in the brain.
Neuroimagery have shown that High IQ people have :
1) more activation of pre-frontal and posterior parietal cortex when thinking
2) More functional and anatomic connections between the two hemispheres of the brain
3) a bigger brain (he retains 0.24 correlation from Pietschnig)
4) a slower “thickness” of the cortical cortex trajectory (and later decrease) in particular the apex is aroung 13yo (for 130 IQ) instead of 7 yo (for 100 IQ).
5) a relatively (to the total size of the brain) smaller hippocampus
—————————
Point 4 is particularly interesting because extremelly tall (>205) versus very tall (195) are detected because of a slower trajectory. Basket physicians have ways to know when selecting a 10yo person if this one will have the later push to be a giant or not wich is a crucial factor to know if it’s worth pushing someone who is just average besides being tall. And there is lots of data among races about the differences in development as a child (walk, run, mirror stage …)
–> So it clearly puts IQ on a continuum with other physical attributes measures.
If IQ is a mental ability then it’s irreducible to brain structure.
“4) a slower “thickness” of the cortical cortex trajectory (and later decrease) in particular the apex is aroung 13yo (for 130 IQ) instead of 7 yo (for 100 IQ).”
That divides evenly into 5 giving:
7 yo (for 100 IQ)
8 yo (for 105 IQ)
9 yo (for 110 IQ)
10yo (for 115 IQ)
11yo (for 120 IQ)
12yo (for 125 IQ)
13yo (for 130 IQ)
I did not know Noam Chomsky was so insane.
Everything is said is technically true. In this short talk, Chomsky demonstrates a very high level of verbal IQ being very simple but presenting very deep and articulated ideas.
That’s a 160 verbal IQ speech.
Pederson is also very good – and exactly on the same type of reasoning so it’s a very good idea to have both speech together – but 15 or 20 points under Chomsky.
But maybe the person thought the two talks were mutually inconsistent and that’s not true . First, Capitalism nor free-markets require the existence of firms. You could have only personal property and no moral entity except the state and some public institutions. As Chomsky says, firms main objective is to destroy competition in markets and create monopolies and rent seeking. Second, capitalism is compatible with non democratic form of government. You could have fascism and capitalism. In China, you have a one party government and capitalism . So Chomsky was speaking about the precise definitions whereas Pederson was speaking more about liberalism (free-market, private property, government who doesn’t produce directly most goods and services) .

If the guardian keeps making stories about this issue Ill have to assume most of its editorial staff are ‘in on it’ and not just gullible goffers of AP and Reuters materials (which themselves are controlled by the deep state).
i also suggest a separate thread for pictures of sexy nazis for sasquatchwithherpes.
