The anthropologist Paul Radin points out that “the distortion in our whole psychic life and in our whole apperception of the exter nal realities produced by the invention of the alphabet, the whole tendency of which has been to elevate thought and thinking to the rank of the exclusive proof of all verities, never occurred among primitive peoples,” adding that “it must be explicitly recognized that in temperament and in capacity for logical and symbolical thought, there is no difference between civilized and primitive man,” and as to “progress,” that none in ethnology will ever be achieved “until scholars rid themselves, once and for all, of the curi ous notion that everything possesses an evolutionary history; until they realize that certain ideas and certain concepts are as ultimate for man” as his physical constitution. “The distinction of peoples in a state of nature from civilized peoples can no longer be maintained.” |

Date: September 15th, 2016 8:09 PM Author: very tactful sanctuary it's true that most poors & dumbs are uncurious and I'd say some of that is IQ, some of that is conditioning, some of that is genetic/cultural, but there are very curious persons who aren't necessarily very verbal and there's no outlet for them to have access to learning any more so they generally eat up the closest thing to "informative" programming that's offered to them by TV, Ancient Aliens and stuff like that. (No one thinks to aim actual historical programming in a fashion that would capture their eyes, but Ancient Aliens is actually really hook-laden.)

Date: September 15th, 2016 9:10 PM Author: very tactful sanctuary anyhow it's not even clear that literacy is as much of an aid to philosophical abstraction as we tend to assume
formal logic can't exist pre-literacy but its actual utility to philosophy is still an open question (considering that analytic philosophy is basically worming its way back to ancient thinkers in the past couple decades)
and in any case the problem isn't literacy, it's presuming your society on it when most persons are not capable of even superficial literacy, much less the sort of thing we meant when we called men literate centuries ago (read the Coomaraswamy essay brother) |

Date: September 7th, 2018 4:27 PM Author: adventurous regret abode this OP is supremely CR, my feelings exactly. smart people dont understand how STRESSFUL and SCARY the modern world is for smaller brained people. there is an expectation for everyone to stay up to date on everything happening around them and to understand the complexities of the world in depth, but normal people don't have the physiological capability to do this, and so they end up just feeling lost and frightened and confused
this is one of the reasons why mainstream media brainwash and gaslighting is so effective. many normies *know* that they're not getting the real story from the media, but they don't know where else to turn. how could they ever tell who is telling them the truth and who is lying to them? |

Date: September 7th, 2018 4:33 PM Author: adventurous regret abode you joke, but i know some people like this, and then they lost all their money because they wouldn't listen to my advice to sell while it was high. their rationale included:
"it's not technically worth anything anyway" (????) "i might as well just hold onto it until the end, since if i sell now i would just be losing money" (jfc) "once it gets low enough, it has to start going back up again"
crypto ended up just being yet another resource-extracting scam on dumb people. i don't even know why it's legal for people under 120 IQ to purchase investment products. well, i know why, but....yeah |
|
Date: September 8th, 2018 3:20 AM Author: marvelous flirting idiot I wasn't joking, crypto investing is one of many examples of certain people suffering fundamental cognitive confusion caused by modernity. And I'm bullish on BTC long-term but most people can't handle it in the short run.
In a way, the SEC does try to prevent people with less than 120 IQ from investing in anything other than vanilla investments via things like accredited investor requirements and stringent regulations on brokers. Crypto happens to be unregulated and decentralized so normies get the chance to go buckwild. |

that's the whole point of this thread. somebody who gets a 150 on the LSAT has no way of knowing or understanding this. if they did, they'd be getting a lot better than 150 on the LSAT |

Even when the modern shit world pumps out people smart enough to read and write, they are too dumb to think. Loser Clique is expert at not seeing the forest for the trees. |
