And this is the mistake many folks make when trying to interpret complex issues by using single words to define them. I know a LOT of people who think the way you do, that "liberal" means "anything goes" and conservative means "responsible". I also know a LOT of people who think conservative means "fearful" and "ignorant" and "stuck in the mud", while liberal means "progressive" and "hopeful" and "forward-thinking". This is the problem with using these terms with each other. It's hard to know how a person has been influenced when they use such broad terms.
I used the correct single words and "Two wrongs don't make a right" shouldn't have been erased because it makes it seem like I'm favoring the right when I'm not. I didn't use "anything goes" and "responsible" because I don't believe in these definitions for the left and the right. I also don't believe any of the other definitions for the left and the right. Another definition for liberals is putting the cart before the horse while another definition for conservatives is if it ain't broke; don't fix it. Both sides don't understand discipline.
I see politics as a bunch of incompetent squabbling chickens.
We need Laws because there are people who disregard the lives of others however it seems like non-born leaders are always trying to lead. Trump being a loudmouth non-born leader. Nayib Bukele (President of El Salvador) is an example of a born leader and how he swiftly cleaned up the country.

In trying to focus on capitalism to the exclusion of any other ownership principles, we're allowing our leadership to pretend to care about us when their re-elections are really up to big corporations. We may find it hard to give up what we think we've earned, but I don't think it's out of pride. If the American public had any pride at all we'd gather to stop these stains on humanity from exploiting us even further (the CEO of Kellogg's recently claimed that if we're worried about the high price of food, we should eat Frosted Flakes for dinner).
We make very little investment in The People. Everything goes to keep big corporations in business, including bailing them out with tax dollars when they mess up. I think we should focus on better social spending and representing the will of The People, and maybe then we can better assess whether this is a matter of hubris or not.
From an outside perspective. It seems like Trump's hubris and his loudmouth followers does make the US look full of hubris.
Change is actually afoot. We'll get a taste of a compassionate collective neutrino energy starting April 12th till May 23rd. Then we'll see real change starting January 30 2025. This isn't astrology. It's the human design system and it doesn't contain nonsense astrology. It's a mechanical system which explains how neutrinos from the Sun and planets have an effect on our aura mechanics. The same Pluto energy was around when the American Revolutionary War started and eventually the American Constitution was written. We the people. 1775 + 248 years (pluto orbit around the Sun) = 2023
We've already seen this energy play out. Such as the outright ban of dangerous dog breeds in the UK. This is a great time to be alive in.

My opinion is that you cannot seriously believe in god if you've studied science in any length. Specially biology.
But many scientists believe in believing in god. That is, they decide that it's a good social deal to keep saying they believe in god and, if pressed, talk about an abstract god, as in "god is the order in the cosmos" or something like that. Just to escape hostility from believers.
Scientists discuss science even when the gathering has finished and the discussions keep going while they go back home, or to their respective hotel rooms.
But I've never seen anybody discuss theology when they go back home from the church, the synagogue or the mosque. Religious people will leave you alone if you just say you're a believer. For all they care your "god" could be a telepathic giant cat living in another planet and handling the universe from there. As long as you say "I believe."
Unless the biology science we study leads to a complex discovery that proves intent by a creator.
Why do you equate religion with god(s)? OP specifically said religion.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It's either leniency or strictness in politics. The leniency of the left leads to the strictness of the right to steer the economy back on track. Take a look at Canada and the wastefulness of the liberals trying to save everyone.

I'd like to create a total mg/dL blood cholesterol table that equates to a percentage of total cholesterol in the blood.
QuoteSo, a milligram is a thousandth of a thousandth of a kilogram, and a milliliter is a thousandth of a liter. Notice there is an extra thousandth on the weight unit. Therefore, there must be 1,000 milligrams in a milliliter, making the formula for mg to ml conversion:
-
mL = mg / 1000
100mg/dL total blood cholesterol in % ?
1dL = 100mL
100mg/1000=0.1mL
0.1mL is 0.1% of 100mL ?
0.1% is 100mg/dL of total blood cholesterol ?
Then to saturate the blood at 100% total cholesterol; total blood cholesterol would need to be x in mg/dL.
100/0.1=1000
100mg/dL x 1000 = 100000mg/dL to 100% saturate the blood with total cholesterol ?
Is this correct or is "mL = mg / 1000" incorrect when applied to total cholesterol?

Innate abilities are something you're born with. Can you support this statement with examples? Critical thinking requires quite a bit of learning, so how can you be born with something you have to learn?
It is self-evidently proven indirectly. Not everyone can fully use critical thinking skills despite learning them just as not everyone can actually drive a car despite taking driver's education. Therefore, critical thinking and driving precisely is an innate ability that can be perfected. An energy in the brain with various thinking channels.

I don't have an issue with science. I have an issue with formally educated scientists and their inability to use the scientific method because they're focused on producing a product to make money.
It does seem so from an outside perspective that I'm being held back. If I'm not with you, then I must be against you? Nope.

Your cognitive biases (all our cognitive biases) need to be removed and that's just not happening.
Not data I deem true. Data that is self-evidently true. Such as measurement data. Measurement data with obvious off the chart measurements is valuable and can be used further to interpolate/extrapolate with other scientific fields. Polymath - Wikipedia
Cognitive biases occur when we're holding onto beliefs. No beliefs = no cognitive biases. It's either self-evident or it's nonsense. It takes a while to train our brain to see possibilities and discard the probabilities.

Pretty much no one believes that,
at least not if you mean that everyone performs equally.If that was the case no test would ever make sense. The big questions really are what we measure with tests (the Flynn effect being one of the factors that are not trivial to explain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect) , how we actually define intelligence (i.e. what do we mean if we use the term, and in which context) and how does it correlate with cognitive function and performance.The fact that there are a lot of discussions surrounding the issue among experts, indicates that the matter is far more complicated than one might assume from cursory reading on that matter and it is therefore questionable to build too many assumptions on these shaky foundations.
The high rates of imposter syndrome say different. Those who are extrinsically motivated tend to believe subconsciously that we're all equal in cognitive abilities and that they can be seen as having high cognitive abilities if they obtain multiple degrees. They believe on some level that they have intelligence and/or intellect or that they can obtain it via learning (copy and pasting information).
There are obviously different types of intelligence and tests should be split to highlight strengths and weaknesses instead of lumping everything together in one test.

What gives you this impression? Science (or at least some areas of it) can be considered underfunded compared to other organisations/fields of study, yet the benefits from scientific discoveries can be immense.
Scientists don't get paid that well unless happen to find stardom through popular exposure such as TV etc... who are a tiny portion of the scientific community.
If your discovery is so sensational then why not publish a paper for peer review, then maybe if verified you can make millions of bucks for your own ideas, what is stopping you?
It's underfunded because they aren't producing results.
Doing right after I've been severely wronged and giving back my innate being after it was taken away from me for two decades. I was the healthiest child anyone has ever seen and strangely ended up with 5 mercury fillings in my teeth as a child. Experienced acute mercury poisoning and fought for myself like nobody has ever fought. Smashed my head with hardcover textbooks in the middle of class while nobody did anything. Held onto a school chair so tight to prevent fecal incontinence from the mercury poisoning. Ran away from home because it was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. Then walked around in high school like I had Parkinson's disease and nobody did anything. My school pictures are all of me with the Parkinson's disease demented smile. I begged my doctor in my 20s to help me and he smiled at me like I was a child who needed cheering up. He referred me to a gay psychologist who tried to sexually abuse me because I was so out of it. I eventually moved back to my home country in an attempt to regain my health and my awareness. Regained sufficient awareness to see the fillings were poisoning me. No help from my father to have them removed despite him having more than 100k in the bank. My father smoked inside the apartment and didn't care about anyone but himself and expected others to be sympathetic to his need to smoke. I made the initial piece of this discovery while breathing in massive amounts of secondhand smoke and drinking at least half a liter of raw carrot juice daily to prevent my brain from being severely inflamed. Went through withdrawal from the secondhand smoke every single day. Part of this discovery is why people smoke cigarettes and do drugs and why I live in a world of addicts. I tried to tell my father so he would stop smoking and he told me... "You're not a scientist", "You'll never accomplish anything", and "Once poor, always poor". Madness. This was a decade ago.
After all of this. I'm left with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome and various unknown genetic mutations that resulted in severe covid with viral myocarditis and eventually heart failure. I tried to get help from doctors after covid in a developed country and no help at all from them because of my age and their ignorance. I had to read the scientific literature myself and use my intellect to understand how to reverse my heart failure with severe suicidal thoughts. Reversed my heart failure. I then tried to get help for my genetic mutations by sending my symptoms to a doctor so I could be referred to a neurologist and nutritionist because I'm struggling to maintain ketosis. No help from anyone despite free
healthsick care.Formally educated scientists have everything at their fingertips yet I'm the one who made this complex discovery while living through hell.
I don't feel contempt. I feel resentment.
If I release it. Then I will be asked... how did you make this discovery? Well... discoveries aren't made in safe spaces.

No, intelligence.
If intelligence is innate, then you shouldn’t be able to improve it with test-taking practice or strategies. If you are measuring intelligence and not knowledge, then your score shouldn’t depend on whether you know what particular words mean, but it does. There shouldn’t be cultural biases, but there are.
All of these are flaws with IQ tests.
You're right. They don't measure intelligence but they don't measure intellect either.
I see the purpose of IQ tests as a way to sneakily measure the performance of our brains.
I use the definition of intelligence that the majority inherently believe because they believe we're all equal. Which equates to obtaining a formal education with intelligence.

I dislike the paper's unintentionally twisted view of white society and how the "why" behind what occurs to certain blacks is always swept under the rug as if all blacks are angels.
I've lived both in a predominantly
whitepink neighborhood and a predominantly multi-cultural neighborhood for 3-4 years as awhitepink minority. Only received racial slurs from entitled blacks when I was minding my own business in the multi-cultural neighborhood and heard a lot "because I'm black" from young blacks that weren't getting their way. A lot of entitlement and egotistical behaviors instead of them seeing how their behavior is self-deprecating and annoying others. Blacks are tolerant of each other's bad behavior. Other races aren't and hence their repulsion.What I like about living in a predominantly pink neighborhood is that we call out each other's bad behavior and essentially keep each other in line. We work together for the greater good. We strive for peace and quietness in our neighborhoods instead of blasting the music until 3:00 AM, and we segregate ourselves when our peace is disrupted. This is the WHY behind segregation.
The author wants to dismantle a system that we fought wars over to keep the peace. It will never happen.

I sense an extreme amount of bitterness and "contempt" towards the scientific community.
Bitterness yes; contempt no because "contempt" is a feeling of mentally being on a pedastal and looking down on people. I'm on solid ground.
24 minutes ago, Intoscience said:Science uses models that can be tested and independently verified as it's standard. Until a better model is discovered and verified, yielding more accurate predictions to explain observation, then there is no reason to discount the original model. So what you learn in study is those "standard" models. You then are more than encouraged to seek out better models, nobody in the modern scientific community is going to oppose this approach. However any new model will face extreme scrutiny, and why shouldn't it? If it works and holds then this is the verification that is needed for it to then be accepted as the "new" standard model. At which point this will be taught to the next generation of students.
The major issue is when said models are based on making money over seeking indisputable truth.
Medicine is a pseudoscience by the legal drug dealers that doesn't face the extreme scrutiny that it should. Legal drugs don't heal the body and the word "treatment" is a misleading word which essentially means "the management of degeneration". The receptors in our bodies are for vitamins, amino acids, neurotransmitters, hormones and other essential molecules. Not synthetic drugs and/or herbal supplements that play pinball with our biochemistry. Hence the side effects.
I don't care whether it's taught or not to the next generation of students. For me it's about taking out the stinking garbage that I don't want to take out.
48 minutes ago, Intoscience said:This is how progress works, start with solid foundations and build on them. Not all discoveries are sensational, some take years of study, bits at a time.
A tip: To enable you to refute an argument, you need to learn as much information as you can. This includes that which you may believe to be intuitively false. But intuition can cloud your judgement, especially when dealing with science, things aren't always the way you imagine they should be. So go and study, gain an understanding of that which you are claiming is false, you never know you may come back with something sensational, or you may learn something. At least you may get a different perspective and gain a little respect for science.
My discovery is shockingly sensational and the tip is exactly how I made it. I had to drop all my beliefs and only accept data that was self-evidently true.
I don't have a problem with science. I have a problem with formally educated scientists not following the scientific method and instead manipulating the world for $$.

Unfortunately, you're ignoring an important part of the equation: reason and critical thinking. The books are built on data turned into information, but when you actually study the books and debate/discuss them, critical thinking helps turn the information into knowledge. I think you've been using this whole "scientists are arrogant" narrative as an excuse not to "conform". Since I have absolutely no contempt for you, I'd love to see you get over this stumbling block and gain something useful from science discussion.
Critical thinking is an innate ability to see bias, not hold beliefs and not overlook information. Combining information into knowledge while maintaining confirmation bias and holding beliefs is what mainly occurs when books are written.
I'm a born nonconformist.
I will gain something useful when some people actually use the scientific method and stop treating Science like a cult where nobody is allowed to see the world independently.

Very well articulated. While I have an issue with the educational system because it tends to foster the know it all mentality in a good amount of people. You've explained the contempt tree beautifully.
I'm wondering if the OP is in a position of authority and should use empowerment towards others by enlightening them on their ignorance and/or be open to being wrong instead of feeling contempt.
QuoteIs empowerment the opposite of arrogance?
ChatGPT
Yes, empowerment can be considered the opposite of arrogance.Arrogance is characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, an inflated ego, and a disregard for the opinions, needs, or contributions of others. It often involves an attitude of superiority and a lack of humility.
Empowerment, on the other hand, involves recognizing and respecting the worth and abilities of individuals, promoting their autonomy, and providing them with the tools and resources to take control of their own lives and make meaningful decisions. It encourages a sense of self-confidence and self-empowerment while also valuing the input and capabilities of others.
In this sense, empowerment and arrogance are contrasting attitudes. Empowerment fosters a collaborative and inclusive mindset, while arrogance promotes a self-centered and dismissive approach.

That's what it boils down to. People are gullible, in every nation. They are fed a version of history that those in power think will solidify and stabilise the national unit and maintain the social order. And it works so well that people absolutely believe the untrue versions of history (and the present day) that they are fed.
It's not just North Korea and Japan that practice history-bending indoctrination, it's virtually every country on the planet.
Having said that, it's the winners that generally get to write the history, the losers have to just suck it up.

Now, let's discuss those people who get degrees and think they know everything, and arrogant scientists who can't ever be wrong.
The 'judgmental reflex and feel less contempt for others.' is the result of formal education because formal education doesn't foster critical thinking. It shapes/hammers the brain into accepting everything without fact checking or using intellect.

Yes. Prove the other person wrong in a humble way instead of saying 'because science said so' or 'because my book said so' while at the same time not providing indisputable evidence.
Scientific books are so watered down from their topics that its laughable to those who have actually learnt from the raw data.

A nonconformist is neither a conformist nor an anti-conformist. A lot of people have the mentality of others being against them if they aren't with them. I'm trashing both sides. Again. Two wrongs don't make a right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_wrongs_don't_make_a_right
The human design system isn't astrology or numerology or a system that predicts the future even though there are zodiac symbols around the wheel to appease to the masses but that's how far it goes in terms of astrology. The wikipedia page on the human design system is incorrect because the human design system isn't a belief system. The human design system is mechanical in which a person surrenders to their aura mechanics and witnesses their mechanics in action. It speaks for itself. It isn't for everyone and it can't be "used" or "forced". The issue I have with the human design system is that the in dept science is hidden behind expensive books and a software application. I'll start my own thread to put it to the test since I have the software which reveals the in dept science of a person's aura mechanics.
