Thinking made by cowards and fighting made by fools - Upgoat

I've known a lot of people that consider themselves intellectual. They've all read the same books like that white fragility bullshit and they all hold the same beliefs. There is no free thought and no thinking for yourself. It's anti intellectual.

and once you show them you're their physical superior they really want to be your friend. It's fucking strange.

99% of the time, the “intellectual” is the only one in the room stupid enough to think he’s smarter then everyone else in the room.

Censorship of based intellectual accomplishment, and inversion of the yet uncensored, is so complete, that it’s rarely (if ever) unwarranted to claim there’s no such thing as a formally trained enlightened mind. Or rather, that the autodidact is the only one with a chance of getting there.

Formally trained or autodidact; some type of break must occur regarding the individuals social programming. This idea has been kicking around in the back of my skull for a few years ever since I read a quote that went something like “fervent belief in religion is the best way to counter the socialization process that you have undergone.“ Lifting weights or other practices of physical prowess can perhaps approach the religious.

This illustrates the difference between mental violence and physical violence. I can destroy you now versus I can destroy your life.

I have sometimes thought that our ballots/elections shouldn't be secret. I could never quite articulate the rationale, though--not even to myself.

My sense was: if someone can't find it within theirself to stand up and say, "I vote for X even though I expect a lot of you will vote Y. Fuck Y." their vote should probably weigh less than someone who would bear accountability for their decision.

The reason for secret ballots is if you live under tyranny if someone knows you vote for someone else you might be killed.

The fear is that people won't vote for what they want if they fear reprisals.

The 2016 trump election was a perfect example.

Huge numbers lied on polls where they thought people could learn they wanted trump.
On voting day they secretly voted for him though.

The drawback to secret ballots is it's hard to know if your vote was counted as you voted 9r 8f someone else stuffed the ballots because you can't see that your vote went to who you wanted.

Yeah. I think there's room for straw polls / guaging what's politically possible via secret ballot before committing to a final vote. But I still wonder, if someone is too weak/timid to stand behind their vote, what kind of ally will they be when it comes time to enforce the outcome, anyway?

On that note, the Trump polling kind of explains a lot in retrospect. Very few are actually willing to stand against the deep state in public.

...and it wouldn't necessarily have to be all or nothing. You could have each public vote be worth e.g., 1.01 secret votes or 100:1 which would still be better than 1:0 == infinity.

it's hard to know if your vote was counted

...and then you end up with the "most popular president ever" who can barely fill a small room with his supporters.

Yep, the fifth of Cicero's six mistakes of man, neglecting study.

End result, fewer fools and cowards once they've self removed themselves from the population by picking a fight with someone who's smarter and more aggressive.

The problem is that every normie faggot with a few bucks, that’s also fit, can’t be convinced they’re not that warrior class when they hear this.

The problem with this is leaving out the spirit. Mind, body, and spirit was philosophically the triad. Fail on one, fail on all three.

Aggression is born out of fear, strength is peace, because you're not worried about a weakling. You are worried if you need to pre-emptively attack someone. Sucker punching niggers aren't manly, they're pussies who learned from a pussy.

Odd thought really that “I think a lot therefore I shouldn’t fight”. Really? Who defines “thinking too much”? Sounds like you’re just a coward.

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time.
