That was roughly 12 years ago. Wonder how many of those kids are now beginning their teens as indoctrinated left wing automatons.

AAAAHHHHHH!!!! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!!! ;)

Are those the same things as the animal spirits? ;)

In the “slightly offensive” video the Questioner
Asked “are you , a young college girl who has eyes and can see? “ Yes. “You have no problem with me saying I’m a black female lesbian?”
No. “ What if I said I was a bike.?”

That too, Solver. He predicted a Trump win as early as December 2015 as well. Scott's work in persuasion, cognitive dissonance and likely several other subjects is unparalleled. I only wish he's start writing his blog again rather than Periscoping it into interminably long diatribes as we patiently (?) wait for him to get to his point.

Interesting. He wrote this in 2015, predicting a possible fundamental change in the way many will think. If those individuals start actually thinking, they may walkaway from their collectivist masters.
“You think the Trump spectacle is about politics, or money, or the usual media circus. And perhaps it is. But if he wins, it could mark a fundamental change in how humans view their place in the world. Once you see yourself as a Moist Robot, subject to programming by Master Wizards and prophets, you can never unsee it.”

Exactly

Thanks , I Like it dougthorburn . Scott Adams is a rare artist. He doesn’t Push the statist agenda. Bravo

The choice is to be a victim or a victor.
It takes no effort to be a victim and when SJW’s excuse any responsibility of the victim. When the victim is revered as some kind hero.
It becomes a vicious circle.
The Hero should be the victor. The message should be strive to be a victor.

Maybe the genetically driven strength of emotions in some people make them more susceptible to the emotionally based propaganda that MSM feeds them. Like showing food to a hungry person elicits a bigger physical reaction than showing the food to someone who has just esten

I believe it is the word . From what I witness , the sheeple have no clue as to what it means. With a steady brain washing from 90% of all media and entertainment industries reinforcing the educational brainwashing. These minions are discouraged from thinking for themselves. They are like Pavlov’s dogs .

I just did a quick search for "libertarian feelers" and ran across this. http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/...

BTW, the T v. F dichotomous preference explains a whole lot more than just our likely political predispositions. It explains everything from "tomboys" (Thinker females) to choice of professions (the STEM subjects attract far more Thinkers than Feelers). I think Myers-Briggs and, more aptly, Keirseyan Temperament, go far in explaining most healthy human behaviors.

I think it's purely genetic as to initial predisposition. While this can be unlearned, it's rare and I imagine difficult. I do know a few Feelers who are libertarians, but I think (it's been a long time since I asked them) they had Thinker parents, who heavily influenced them.

Absolutely.

I would think that it is much more likely that this is genetic as opposed to something like fluid transgenderism being genetic.

Would you think then that its some sort of genetic thing that controls the relative strength of emotions and thinking? That with some people, they just experience emotions as so strong as to preclude reliance on reason? In those people, it perhaps matters little the parental emphasis on thinking shown during their early years.

Something is up, since so many people just gravitate to socialism.

Socialism appeals to their animal instincts.

This has a definite ring of truth to it. I have been thinking the same thing, that whatever leads people to collectivism starts when VERY young, maybe indeed at birth.

It seemed that there is something driving people to collectivism over the ages, and it appears to be an overly strong reliance on emotion as opposed to thinking. When discussing issues with liberals, they are uninterested in reason, and always divert the discussion to emotional issues.

I have felt that this problem seemed to doom the USA, and is responsible for the relative failure of Atlas Shrugged to move the needle towards Individualism. Its a bit depressing actually, as it would indicate that there isnt much hope for the USA.

I voted for Trump because I figured he would slow down the drive towards socialism. And he has to the degree that the establishment will LET him.

Dilbert's creator Scott Adams, who leans libertarian, has I think given the single best descriptor and symptoms of cognitive dissonance I've seen. He writes on the subject extensively, but this is the best. http://blog.dilbert.com/2015/09/03/th...

It's not just hard to reverse; it's nearly impossible. Thinking vs. Feeling are Jungian/Myers-Briggs functions; one or the other defines how one prefers to make decisions. This is, in my extensive experience, genetic, at least as to preference. Preference is somewhat like handedness; we prefer one hand over the other, depending on task. Ayn Rand, and most libertarians, are Thinkers.

I did a Myers-Briggs study more than two decades ago of libertarians running for office as libertarians. 90% scored Thinker. And this explains not only how we tend to vote, but also the differences among the two genders (yes, any leftists who are lurking: there are only two). Two-thirds of men are T, one-third F; two-thirds of women are F, one-third T. Which explains everything you need to know in the book, Men are From Mars; Women are From Venus.

I have made up my mind about this election. I mailed in my ballot.

When me dino hears so much ignorant for stupid prattle come out of people's mouths, me dino just has to mock it.
Can't help it. It's what dinos do. Otherwise, me dino's head will explode.

We need a red wave to wash away the “wagon pullers”. The Jackasses have shown themselves as the hypocrites they are. Will America Self destruct or advance ?
