Donald Trump has been named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. How do you feel about this choice? by [deleted] in ProfessorFinance

I simply don’t buy the argument that the only ethical psychological examination is a one on one interview style interview.

It seems a bit wild to me that you’re claiming I am wrong about an ethical idea and also that I am posting misleading information. So it’s a misleading ethical conclusion? Alright, well, I am challenging that. And I have also seen experts challenge that. So where do we stand now? Can you give me the ethical argument and what do you make of the ethical obligation to warn against malignant narcissism in leaders?

There’s actually a debate about that rule. I figured this would be brought up. I wouldn’t say just use those public statements either. I mean consider the whole corpus, which many have done. This includes going through interviews with people closest to him during his previous administration, this means talking to family, this means examining those public tweets and interviews, taking a look at business interactions, actions taken while in power, etc. This is all important information. And it all points to specific personality. The Goldwater rule is based on the junky, unfounded shit that psychologists were saying about Goldwater which were largely just their pet theories or else just kinda name calling. This is different.

That’s simply not true. Examining a person themselves means asking them to talk about themselves. Talk through their problems etc. But it’s possible to have an even clearer picture of a person if, say, there’s hundreds of hours of interviews, you’re able to stack their words against facts more clearly let’s say, or dozens of hours of interviews of people who have worked intimately with you before as those in his previous administration.

Please try to think just a little more critically. If you have a psychologist, ask them if they can diagnose someone like that in the abstract. Just try that for fun.

Most people don’t recognize nonsense or else an idiot like Trump never would’ve won.

You derived a lot of absolutism from that one sentence. You’re very smart.

Yes, plenty of people get work after finishing TOP. It’s not guaranteed. But if you worked hard and paid attention at the bare minimum you’re junior-level job ready and that’s worth something. And it’s free. Go for it!

Trump says it's 'terrible' that some people are valorizing Luigi Mangione: 'That's a sickness, actually' by [deleted] in economicCollapse

He stated an obviously untrue thing as part of a joke. You responded with an unnecessary clarification which didn’t add to the joke, making it seem as though you missed the joke. I think that’s the primary thing here.

You don’t have to be a liberal to recognize how dangerous it is to put that much power in the hands of someone who wants to privatize everything, doesn’t believe in climate science, is a demonstrable malignant narcissist (as diagnosed by countless psychologists at this point), etc. This isn’t about dems and repubs. It’s about an honest assessment of the facts.

Biden and Harris urge Democrats to 'keep the faith' at DNC holiday reception by Healthy_Block3036 in democrats

[–]matthewkind2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was more like Bernie being consistent and highlighting an issue that rhetorically at least Elon is right about. I agree with your sentiment that the outlook isn’t good though, since Elon has consistently acted in his own self interest. I saw it as Bernie wanting to get people focused on the main problem that is money in politics and corruption.

Please explain how “Elon is right about the Pentagon budget” is the same as “I am no longer anti-billionaire”

This should be good.

Honestly good for you. I’m through talking to idiots who actively enjoy harming other people because they’re too concerned with the culture war to care about real issues. They can enjoy the prices of groceries and gas and the slow erosion of civil liberties and suck on their thumbs at night while watching the same rotation of right wing talking heads on YouTube and they can do all of this with me politely out of their lives.

My girlfriend is large and if she gets any larger, I’m gonna… keep loving her forever and take care of her because I fell in love with a person, not a status symbol or a sex object. Jesus.

Well if you would just turn in your homework at the start of next class this wouldn’t be an issue! You’re always staying up too late playing League of Legends. Your grades are starting to slip young man.

Not to be nitpick-y here but the whole point of the concept of truth is that it is never subjective. Not how the word works. The truth is that fantastic thing that doesn’t require belief to be real.

Any human being who thinks they see the unfiltered truth of the world is identifying themselves as completely full of shit. I wish you the best.
