We are not equal and never will be (unless we take the eugenics pill)
>>25346234Just read Guns, Germs and Steel if you want to break free from your ignorance.
>>25346234Remember when black people tried arguing that their mud wall of Benin was longer than China’s wall.
>>25342411The window for eugenics making a difference was about twenty thousand years ago. As soon as we began storing useful information externally it was over for us, the natural mechanisms for this began to atrophy. Now the chinks can't even beat the median with modified embryos. You have no idea how over it really is, you can't undo the damage.
Nature comes before nurture. You can’t train a dog to go into finance.
>>25342817First of all, it seems very likely you're replying to yourself. And if you think you're being slick doing that, you're wrong.>You have to be incredibly dishonest with yourself and intellectually incurious to put Ethiopians, Angolans, Nigerians, Botswanans, Namibians, Guineans, Malawi, Kenyans, Tanzanians, Somalis, Eswatini, Zambians, Sudanese, Eritreans and Ugandans into the single category of "black", and then claim all "black" people are biologically doomed to idiocy.You know, recently I've been asking AI about questions like this (how/when/where do east-Asians actually come from?). Judge me if you will. What I found is that the 19th century "racist" were basically right all along in their Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid topology. Modern archaeogenetics basically repeats this, just in a roundabout way that does not mention the taboo words. If you're a critical thinker you might have thought there was something too it, forensic specialists being able to detect race with high probability looking at bones at whatnot, but it was still mostly old out of date bullshit. Wrong. The assertion that that is all racists lies is almost Orwellian in how opposite the truth the safe official PC stock answer is. At best you can offer refinements, but the basic idea holds. We've been totally lied to.Out of Africa Humanity had a three part split. And it's basically what you think it is. If you want to test this out yourself, go ahead and ask an AI of choice, or just do it hard mode and look it up yourself if you're too good for that. Use these keywords: West Eurasians, East Eurasians. In addition to those to super groups, which split from each other in the middle of the Eurasian continent, use: ASEA, ANEA, (these two are the origin of nearly everything you think of as asian excluding Indians) CHG, WHG, ANF. You can also ask it about the ancient asians that got swamped out like the Hoabinhians to contrast.There's signs of these totally not racial categories. Like how blacks have almost no neanderthal DNA. Why? Because humanity picked it up mostly in central Eurasia and then later did that east-west split. But these two groups didn't go back into Africa in any appreciable numbers to genetically flow it back into Africa. Pale-ish skin in Whites and Asians is actually a parallel unique mutation that runs through different gene pathways. The two super groups just simply didn't genetically communicate with each other, and don't communicate with the third southern group much at all. You want to know what an ancient east eurasian might have looked like before this happened? Look at the Jarawa or the Semang.

I need to understand the Tractatus, understand what mistakes he found in it later in life and understand his thoughts on the philosophy of mathematics. Recommend me books on those subjects that are as straightfoward as possible. Thanks.
>>25346114>>25345253We can start asking these LLMs which of us are more "human" than the others and which are more "LLM"-like.We can start figuring out who are more PC-like and who is more NPC-like and work toward improving our nature(s) that way.
>>25346121This requires you shitlibs to let go of Ontological Egalitarianism though.We are not all "One".We are not equal.We are different (... and that's a good thing!)

>>25346121YOU ALL KNOW I'M RIGHTBut you all know the grave responsibility this means to be more human and differentiate ourselves (and eachother) from AI
>>25345845I took it you were talking about the published "Lectures On the Foundations of Mathematics: Cambridge 1939", if you mean anything else, then they're just sporadic notes akin to Culture and Value. No, I'm not referring to the Blue and Brown notebooks, don't act like you know about Wittgenstein and confuse an actual lecture course on math with the Blue and Brown notebooks. No, not On Certainty either. His work on math isn't anything to write home about, it's not on pure mathematics, it's constrained by being focused on the dull foundations project.
Can reading really be performative? I see this get thrown here all the time but enjoying literature is really a comfy inward experience.
Ahh the fear of being perceived by others is strong
Once, as I came back from a used book store, it started to rain real hard, so I sat in a bar and started a book from my freshly acquired stack while sipping cider.

How come 120 Days got the spotlight when Justine has a way better (and realistic) plot?I can totally see the stuff in this book happening in real life, but a dungeon full of women forced to eat shit? No way.
>>25345688The movie was actually intended by the director to be a critique of pornography.
>>25345726The movie was intended to portray everyone (you) don't like as shit eating pedos, whoever that may be

>>25345223Epstein never abused children. At most he got a massage from a 16 year old who misrepresented her age with a fake ID, but after his arrest for that he assiduously verified the ages of the women Ghislaine recruited and lavishly paid.

relaxing river meadow edition>What is /phil/ Philosophy General?A general for readers, students, and armchair thinkers interested in philosophy, whether it be Western, Eastern, analytic, continental, ancient, contemporary. We discuss primary texts, secondary literature, online lectures, podcasts.>Why read philosophy?Politics, science, psychology, etc. all began with or were inspired by someone who thought philosophically. Basically, if you are interested in just about anything, philosophy will help you better understand that subject. Because it is at the foundation of every conceptual institution made or discovered by humans, it is in the underbelly of human experience, and so it is worth taking seriously.>Why study philosophy formally?Surprisingly versatile and undervalued. Phil majors consistently score among the highest on the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. Strong pipeline into law, policy, ethics consulting, AI alignment, and academia.Previous thread >>25285042
>>25339645I actually agree with you anon but the fact remains that Catholicism is heavily influenced by Plato and Aristotle. When I first got into this I assumed the normal Fides et Ratio stance by default but years of reading have brought me closer to the protestant takes. The NT uses vague philosophical language at times because those ideas were in the air but it’s anti-philosophical overall, explicitly so in fact. That’s why philosophy is just a pasttime for me, not like these fags who think they’ll become Wise by reading the Summa or whatever.
