It looks like Leftists have finally thrown off the shackles imposed on them by the Enlightenment. No longer must they make due with boring ideologies; now they have a proper faith. And all the world shall know salvation as the Leftist creed is spread to the four corners of Earth...

Leftists, as we all know, are morally and intellectually superior beings. This is evidenced in how environmentalists seek to shut down nuclear power plants in order to replace them with coal plants, thus augmenting the environment. Or in how crusaders of justice seek to create safe places on...

Why do you three open this thread if it makes you so upset? All I want to do is discuss the debates of intellectuals, who's opinions on these matters are widely regarded as top-notch.

The point is not that they are omnipotent but that they tower above anyone posting here. That is why it is not up to us frame the debate, merely to discuss it after it has happened. We lack the intelligence to have high quality debates of our own, hence the past five pages (which, while decent...

Pinker is my favorite intellectual at the moment, I'd recommend his books. The other intellectuals are a bit generic, but they present their arguments well and that's mostly what matters. I think that it will augment our discussion here to add their voices to our dispute. At the very least, it...

JollyRoger, the reason I am posting links to arguments made by noted intellectuals is that they are a lot smarter and more graceful than anyone on this forum.

More good Patriarchy Debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y021WAdUlW8 Keep up the good work !

JollyRoger, What valid theories is it missing? You don't have to watch it if you don't want to, but if you don't watch it then you shouldn't reply, as this thread is about discussing it and you can't discuss it very well if you don't watch it.

Please do not spam. Watch the video and discuss it.

I found this video that represents at length the two sides to this debate. The question is "Why are there more men in certain fields of science (like engineering)?" Eliza takes the position that it is mostly due to the influence of a patriarchy, while Steve claims that it is mostly due to innate...

It's the principal of Less is More. The finite landscape demarcates the island culture from everything else, allowing a unique culture to blossom in lonely isolation. They flourish into pristine roses of vibrant hue, standing in contrast to the exotic jungles of continental vegetation.

Things are either right or wrong, good or bad depending on the context in which they are understood. How often in stories is it that the character you're supposed to root for is a sleazeball? Han Solo for instance... It is not necessarily a bad thing to be called a drifter and I will thank you...

Maybe I don't even have an argument and am only posting for the fleeting amusement I gain when I post things that are really long and really sarcastic and not particularly witty, but still wittier than what you typically find on various humorless webpages, where discussion is characterized by...

It is incredible that we humans, we dirty humans, not only pollute the environment but also wage war. No animal except human has ever waged war! Well, except for certain tribes of chimp, which massacre unrelated kin-groups of chimp in a manner that is reminiscent of genocide. And never mind...
