| Maybe, just maybe. | |
| It's a possibility, right? | |
| Stop hypersexualizing the work environment with mating displays because makeup is an enhancement of a mating display. | |
| No, no, it's just to look good and feel good. | |
| But that's just nonsense, right? | |
| And of course, a woman who says, I need makeup to feel good about myself is saying, I don't have a good conscience and feel self-respect from virtuous actions. | |
| Just a possibility. | |
| So, it's also, if people stop believing, just say the makeup myth could be any number of things, but if people stop believing the makeup myth, then if it's no longer an advantage but a disadvantage, in other words, if it's no longer high status but low status, because high status, if it's based on falsehoods, becomes low status when those falsehoods are revealed, and that screws with people's self-esteem, and it also deeply screws with the economy, right? | |
| So, when you've got hundreds of billions of dollars at play, philosophers are robustly expendable. | |
| If philosophers are saying you should look for a woman who's virtuous, not a woman who's simulating orgasm to manipulate you, and again, you can say it's unconscious or whatever, it doesn't really matter. | |
| I don't give women the unconscious excuse because women don't give men the unconscious excuse. | |
| So, yeah, you're screwing with hundreds of billions of dollars, and people don't have a good argument against it, so they're just going to... | |
| Counter-attack, right? | |
| All right, let's get to your questions. | |
| Thank you for the tip. | |
| Think clearly. | |
| Good morning, Stefan and community. | |
| I was listening to a podcast earlier this week. | |
| The guest, known as a powerhouse entrepreneur and businessman, made the comment, we have no free will. | |
| Conditions dictate outcome. | |
| He used an example of saying, if you lead a horse to water, it will not drink. | |
| If the conditions were, the horse was deprived of water and dosed with salt, then he'll drink. | |
| But in the same breath, he says, These are decisions we must make to be successful. | |
| Thoughts? | |
| Well, people who say we have no free will are just fighting off their own bad conscience. | |
| That's all they're doing. | |
| They're just saying, the bad things I did, I'm not responsible for. | |
| That's all. | |
| There's nothing more or less complicated than that. | |
| People who say we have no free will, people who are determinists, are revealing that they have a terrible conscience that they will not confront or learn from. | |
| So, if you look at this example, And I'm not saying anything about this guy in particular, but I'm just saying it's a general trend. | |
| But if you look at this guy, he's saying, look at a horse. | |
| The fuck would a horse have to do with free will? | |
| I mean, it's like me saying, well, this coffee cup doesn't have free will, and therefore you don't have free will, man! | |
| It's like, what the hell does a human being have to do with a coffee cup? | |
| If you mistake a coffee cup for a human female, for instance, I don't want you to offer me a coffee on your honeymoon. | |
| Creamer! | |
| So, what on earth would a horse have to do with human free will? | |
| So, why would somebody who's debating free will talk about a horse? | |
| Because a horse doesn't have a conscience, and a horse can't be moral. | |
| A horse can't be good or evil. | |
| It can be dangerous, but it can't be good or evil, because it doesn't have the capacity to compare proposed standards, proposed actions to ideal standards. | |
| So when somebody says, we don't have free will, and here's a horse, is saying, I have to treat my conscience as if it were a horse, because my conscience is raging at me for the evils I've done, so then I have to pretend that there's no such thing as good and evil or free will. | |
| But I still want to manipulate people, so then I have to tell people they have choices. | |
| I have a question, Steph. | |
| What do you think of the saying, loyalty is the first law of morality? | |
| It's total bullshit. | |
| You can be loyal to evil, you can be loyal to evildoers, they're loyal. |
