And also why there is little utility in debating them, because anything that threatens their core held beliefs is an existential threat to their understanding of who they are, and so they will dig in and set that belief in concrete so as to protect themselves.

It's been a piss fight from start to finish. It's hard not to tell people how wrong they are on the internet.Tempy wrote:Eh, guilty. Hard not to now and then. I stand by my post in CA a while back, about not dog piling, but I really don't feel this thread was of any benefit in the end.

Not necessarily - if you want to go the whole hog, like that fella in America who puts his ass on the line trying to convert KKK types, then yeah, it’s long and slow and you need the patience and fortitude of a Saint: https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robesGooberTheHat wrote:Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that, but that's a long, slow process. Not a couple of week with some dudes over the interweb.
And yet it doesn't happen every time people have different viewpoints, so that doesn't make sense.Dark Soldier wrote:This is why you don't do opinions on here (or the internet in general), you'll always get three or four chucking out ridiculous insults for having a different viewpoint.

I think he said he is a fan of Harris and approves of Harris stance that data should be viewed without bias or fear of repocusion. I don't think he actually said he was agreeing with the superior genetic IQ, just that it should be allowed to be discussed and is a possibility in his eyes.
Haven't agreed with JRPC on his arguments and I think he deliberately ducked some stuff bit the alt-right tag feels a bit thrown too easily. And surely no need for the 'tard comment either.
