I’m currently doing my psychiatry rotation and have lost count of the psychotic patients who are able to recount in extraordinary vivid detail their experiences with the FBI, murderous neighbours, ghosts, demons and aliens. It is characteristic of psychosis that the individual does not have...

Evolution is a completely blind process without global teleological direction. It changes organismic function to suit its local environment and that’s about it – there is no organized global change to an organisms evolutionary span hence why most organisms are extinct. However, one thing clear...

Geert Wilders is the European version of a Neoconservative, and his mother is of mixed Ashkenazi/Indonesian heritage as far as I'm aware (his father is a White Dutch). However, discerning differences between similar looking things is a highly g-loaded task, and leftists of the OP's caliber do...

Higgs’ and Guth’s work are both among the testable products of modern particle physics. Though you are correct that modern theoretical physics is more philosophy than science - although this has more to do with the fact that all the low and even medium hanging fruit of the experimental tree have...

Trump's win was accurately predicted by a plethora of folk with common sense from ex-CIA agent Michael Scheuer to physicist Gregory Cochran. In fact, accurately predicting the results of political elections in first world countries is now automatable...

So I just caught up with Bleach after having stopped reading the manga at the Fullbringer arc ... you know while reading it I was honestly under the impression that it was going to end decently by shonen standards until the Yhwach vs Ichigo fight. Holy f*** did it go downhill from there. I...

Yup, recently Indian Americans have started becoming competitive. I've had a look at some JEE papers and they make the age-equivalent like A Levels or AP in the west seem like a bad joke - though the International Olympiads makes even the JEE look like a joke. And yes, I suspect a main reason...

In recent years the US and Russia - once the undisputed world champions of these competitions - have been beaten by China again and again in pretty much all of the International Science Olympiads (a testament to the rise of China, if you ask me) but the US has now won its second consecutive win...

Mori Jin given your cluelessness, telling other people to 'check a book' is a very ironic thing indeed. And given your Islamist leanings, tell me - what do you make of Erdogan's recent endeavors to reconcile with Israel: http://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/.premium-1.708133 "At their...

The Middle East - politically - is a binary place. It's always either a secular military dictatorship or some variety of Islamist authoritarianism. Often these two factions are at each other's throats. This is basically the entire story of Egypt in the last century, with Morsi being the most...

I'm wondering about that too - really sad that the guy seems to have left the forum. I really enjoyed reading his posts, even though we have some fundamental differences between us, e.g., he is a traditional American conservative whereas my worldview is closest to the 'alt-right' as it's now...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Mosul "In January 2014, ISIL took control of Fallujah and Ramadi, inciting conflict with the Iraqi army. On 4 June, the insurgents began their efforts to capture Mosul. The Iraqi army had 30,000 soldiers stationed in the city, facing a 1,500-member...

It's funny how it will be young men like these that will have to pay the cost in blood - by fighting the soldiers of Allah and his profit in armed combat when they inevitably come to Europe - for the mistakes - your immigration policy of welcoming all of the dross of the world being the chief...

I've never put much trust in the dismal science, whether the leftist variety or conservative economism, and the people who use it to talk about the real world, but every once in a while, they manage to see what's in front of their eyes, even if it's always too late. Michael Hudson - one of the...

The following spoilers seem to be legit (come from the Chinese scans of the chapter): My commentary:

Looking at my previous posts I have to apologize for the pretentiousness of my language in this thread guys - I thought that if I used high-sounding language I'd minimize the chances of the thread getting deleted (as Islam threads usually do when they get politically incorrect) but clearly it...

Come on nefraiko don't engage in that sort of apologetics now - "right hand's possessions" as the Quran calls them is perfectly legitimate in Islam. Your prophet beheaded every single adult male of that Jewish tribe that betrayed him and took all their women as "right hand's possessions." The...

No I have nothing against folk like you PN but sadly it is the nature of man to associate in tribal groupings. George W. Bush is a retard but his "you are either with us or against us" mentality does accurately describe reality when it comes to war. Those who fight in the name of Allah and...

http://maverickphilosopher.typepad.com/maverick_philosopher/2013/04/schopenhauer-on-islam-the-saddest-and-poorest-form-of-theism.html Schopenhauer is probably my all-time favorite philosopher so I will quote him for the benefit of those interested (from his magnum opus): "Temples and churches...

You will be amused then my friend since I'm an Englishman who many Jews would probably call an "anti-Semite" because frankly, I couldn't care less about Israel, and would prefer that the western world stay the hell out of the entirety of the Middle East. I just like calling a spade a spade so I...
