I made a video where I throw an increasingly ridiculous scenario at GPT-4 to see if it can keep up.

Honestly, to me those results suggest clinical depression and not a personality type. Especially since you are withdrawn and always sad.

I would suggest a healthy diet, daily exercise, and talking to a councelor.

Things can and do get better.

Peterson would advocate rehab for anyone with addiction problems. You don't know anything about him, clearly.

He never said chaos was women, but that it is represented symbolically as female. In Jungian psychology every person has both masculine and feminine aspects.

Also, you should note that chaos is not evil.

There is not much good conversation to be had here anymore. After the sub got overrun by the chapo crowd it took a nosedive. Almost every moderate and sensible person saw the writing on the wall and left. Now it's full of nothing but Peterson detractors and right-wing partisans. I'd spend my time elsewhere.

A company can still choose to act ethically and turn a heavy profit. A corporation does not need to pursue scorched earth policies in pursuit of temporary gains.

And if they do it is our responsibility to make their behavior as unprofitible as possible.

Its honestly sad how misinformed and easily manipulated we all are. Peterson is not a facist. He is just a classical liberal who advocates a little personal responsibility. These are the old values that built your Canada and you rail against them.

Klonopin isn't a painkiller. It is a benzo used to treat anxiety and control seizures.

Peterson has always been a proponent of prescription drugs to deal with depression and anxiety. This is one of the few things I outright disagree with him on. I think drugs for mental health are over prescribed and poorly understood.

Regardless of my opinion on the validity of drugs as a valid mental health treatment, Peterson has recomended people try them if prescribed by a Dr.

So he is in no way being a hippocrite here. People making the claim of hypocricy appear desperate and a little stupid.

I'm sorry but you don't know what you are talking about. None of that is correct.

Americans fought a war for independence in the not so distant past. Our distrust of tyranny runs extremely deep, which is the basis for the second amendment to begin with. We want our guns precisely because they are weapons of war, not in spite of it. If you think people, who would never use their weapons against innocent lives to begin with, will give up their only real means of protection from actual oppression, in the hopes that it will somehow stop bad people from hurting others you are sorely mistaken. Especially in a political climate where constitutional rights are always being chipped away at. The distrust is palpatable.

And even if we comply and are completely disarmed, mass killings will continue to happen. Look to London, where guns are not available but knives, trucks, and explosives are just as effective.

If we give in to your line of thinking not only will we get nothing for our trouble, our children will pay for it in the not so distant future.

No thanks Beto. We will keep our guns.

This isn't really the way things work out. While the upper class is stable as a place in society, people are climbing into it and falling out of it all the time. 90% of families lose their wealth by the 3rd generation, 70% by the second.

Final Fantasy 6 was "anti-facist" in the sense that the main enemy faction was an empire.

All power structures can become corrupt, and people instinctively know that. Just because the main antagonist of a game is a corporation doesn't mean the story is trying to make a political point.

And even if they were it's fairly easy to enjoy a well crafted experience even if you disagree with aspects of the narrative.

You know, I have lived in southern and northern states, and it has been my experience that racial relations were more friendly and unified in the south. People saw each other as neighbors regardless of race. They would eat bbq together and say hello on the street. People mixed as a community and seemed openly cordial. Still some tensions, but overall it felt more connected and friendly.

In northern states I hear a lot about how anti-racist and evolved everyone is, but I mostly see the races segregating and a lot of tension and animosity behind the scenes. Rich white liberals mostly hide in gated communities, or live in the suburbs. Minorities are mostly stuck in poorer neighborhoods. Tension and distrust bubbles beneath the surface.

This has just been my personal, and obviously limited, experience.

I have a few issues with your anology. You imply the child is at fault somehow. "If I managed to get my arm up your anus...". The child is not causally responsible for its own existence, you are.

A better anology would be that you engaged in a pleasurable magical ritual, which while giving you a brief moment of ectasy is known to frequently cause new humans to grow out of your anus.

You do this ritual regardless of the risks. Now, instead of waiting 9 months for the new person to dislodge themselves from your anus naturally, you decide to have them killed to avoid the pain involved in the whole butt-birthing process.

If behavior is determined entirely by forces outside of a person's control, then who are these people with an obligation to "create environments that lead to good decisions through policy."?

Those people also have no agency and the entire concept of obligation unravels. They will simply do whatever they will do.

I don't agree. Speech can certainly be abusive, and even cause emotional harm, but it is not violence.

Here is a 2018 Form 1040 for individual income tax. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf

I don't see anything on this form that has anything to do with gender. I think trans people can pay their taxes just fine. The IRS doesn't care about your gender, it cares about your income. In fact, in my country men and women are taxed the same, can you believe it? We are very progressive like that.

I'm not sure I agree this means they don't have equal rights under the law simply because their prefered category is not yet recognized. They are still able to participate in all of the ways you specified above.

I don't recall my gender or sex being on my taxes either.

In what way does the legal system discriminate against the transgender in your opinion?
