| And that's part of the horror of accumulated violent or coercive solutions to complex social problems is that if you start saying maybe violence or force or coercion should only be used in an extremity of self-defense and in no other way, place, shape or form. | |
| We can't even see how much of our society is founded on this knee-jerk. | |
| Got problem use force, got problem use force, got problem use force. | |
| One solution, draw katana, one solution, reload, one solution, point guns. | |
| We can't even, most people can't even see it. | |
| and they think that they're solving problems when all they are is handing around justifications for endless wells of bloody violence. | |
| Somebody says, I see it as a repeat of parents causing siblings to fight. | |
| Escalate until compliance is achieved. | |
| It is a narcissistic mindset to say, "The solution is what I want and escalation is the only way to get it." Yeah, I love how school uses itself as a punishment. | |
| Yes. | |
| Education is so wonderful that if you really screw up, we'll just give you more education. | |
| Right. | |
| Somebody says they start most meetings with what problem are we trying to solve? | |
| Amazing how often we don't even have a problem clearly specified. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, this is the against me argument. | |
| It's designed to wake people up to the violence they worship. | |
| If we can't get people to stop worshipping violence, fighting amongst each other is pointless. | |
| Did you see Kamala Harris talk about fining parents for truancy of their kids? | |
| Yeah, I saw that. | |
| I saw that. | |
| Isn't that wild? | |
| Yes, school. | |
| It's so wonderful that parents have to be threatened by jail if they can't force their kids to go. | |
| Lovely. | |
| You were held back a year. | |
| Actually, I was kicked back two years, but I was two years ahead in England when I came to Canada. | |
| They kicked me back two years. | |
| Steph, you're assuming everyone is capable. | |
| Simple R versus K. Society cannot exist with more blood being sucked than it can replace. | |
| Don't fucking tell me what I'm assuming. | |
| That's rude as hell. | |
| Do not do that. | |
| Do not do that. | |
| No decent person's going to want to hang around with you if you just make up these phantoms of ghost thoughts, put them in the other person's mind and say, I'm correcting you. | |
| When the hell have I ever said everyone is capable? | |
| Oh, babies? | |
| Are babies capable? | |
| How about people with significant mental developmental delays who end up with an IQ of 60? | |
| Are they capable? | |
| You don't think I know this stuff? | |
| Steph, you're assuming everyone is capable. | |
| Don't fucking tell me what I assume. | |
| You can ask me a question if you want to have a decent and civilized conversation, but don't tell me what I'm assuming. | |
| It's ridiculous. | |
| How embarrassing. | |
| Don't do that stuff, man. | |
| That's really, really sad. | |
| And nobody's going to want to talk to you with any sense of self-knowledge or brains if you're going to just make up thoughts, projects. | |
| Hey, Steph, if you were completely retarded, this is what you would say, so I'm going to correct you on that. | |
| My God, who the hell have you been hanging around with in life that you haven't had pushback on this nonsense before? | |
| Jesus! | |
| I love it. | |
| Well, if Steph was completely stupid, he would have said something like this, so I'm smarter than Steph, because I've imagined he said something and I'm now correcting him. | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's like slowing Freddie Mercury down to one-tenth speed and saying, you know, he's not a very good singer, because he sounds kind of teotorially. | |
| He's too slow, man. | |
| Well, you just slowed him down. | |
| No, now somebody is saying, I have developmental delays but can score a high IQ. | |
| Yeah, excellent. | |
| I may be an exception to your general rule. | |
| I'm going to add that because I think I'm adding something. | |
| Mmm. | |
| When I was transferred from public school for sixth grade, I was a year ahead in math, but they put me with the other sixth graders. | |
| It was one of my favorite subjects, but their solution was to give me extra optional work, which I passed on. | |
| Yeah, that's James, right? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Oh, I'm so good at math. |
