The Venus Project-Bullshit?

[impiku]

He mentioned that he's autistic, that he usually cannot debate, that he's autistic and usually cannot debate or that autistic kids usually cannot debate?
The answer to this question will inform the nature and volume of my laughter.

He said it randomly in one of his videos.

Ah, the impatience of youth. I recall those ironically titled halcyon days.

Let me get this right... someone hadn't the time to yet respond and you thought it was over. Someone else wants to revisit or continue the conversation, and you "put a full stop on it"; is that correct?

Impatience? You are the one who abruptly state that I somehow "gave up" when I was waiting for a response. Derp

I guess someone hadn't had the time to respond when he has been posting and even asking me questions regarding politics. I don't mind if he doesn't respond on the race issue, I think this discussion is tiresome at this point and the discussion I'm having with you is even more pointless with unsubstantiated presuppositions.

I think you'll find this quote is adequate enough to be considered a deflection of your derp and retort with a tiger uppercut:

No one is continuing this discussion and we were discussing the reality of race and I cited some evidence, but this was a while ago and I have no particular interest in further discussion on this matter.

Unsubst... :lol: presupp... :lol:

"You know, I haven't been to the League of Reason forum in a while."
"What's this? A Venus Project thread? This should be fun."
"What the-- ... racist apologetics?"
:facepalm:

Why am I suddenly hearing about racism's equivalent of Intelligent Design everywhere I go? It can't just be that dumb youtube debate, can it? Seriously, it's 2011 and we're still putting up with this crap?

This is literally depressing, I'll just let Mr. Nye take over.




On the actual thread subject... The Venus Project is a way for people to think they're doing something without actually doing anything.

Probably why it jumped to the racism... there's not enough substance to the Venus Project to really discuss.

Exactly correct. I am scratching my head as to how this thread has gotten to be 3 pages in length.

Any idiot who recognizes that money is a development that allows markets to trade with more efficiency than stone-age bartering has already thought more deeply about the Venus Project than the developers of the Venus Project. :facepalm:

Besides, being greedy is (AFAIK) embedded in our genes. Increases chances of survival. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess so; with the stipulation of not confusing this with the "selfish gene" idea, put forth by Dawkins, et al. That means a completely different thing. Otherwise, then yes.

Indeed, and they also appear to have comical delusions of grandeur for their very near non-existent "movement". After all, how can the opinions of a very sparse fringe of people with their opinions represent a movement, ca. The Venus "Project"...

 

[PAB]

The venus project is simply a modern form of utopian socialism.
