2018-12-24 at 4:25 PM UTCKali Yuga's the 'final' age before everything gets rebooted in Hindu mythology apparently, a time of degradation, degeneration and destruction. It just means to try to enjoy it as everything goes up in flames because there's little you can do to stop it, or at least that's my interpretation. To be honest I saw the phrase somewhere I don't remember anymore and found it interesting enough to do a bit of background reading.

the phrase didn't have a lot to do with the Totenkopf, that was just the design I originally saw. The SS were one of the greatest fighting forces of all time though, and the Totenkopf Division (the one formed later in the war from veterans of others) was one of the most decorated units of it from memory -

I know about the Kali Yuga but never quite understood the catchphrase, makes perfect sense.
IMO that's wrong though. I recommend Steven Pinker's book, The Better Angels of Our Nature. Things are getting better, and people's ability to do good is only multiplying, and now it's bigger than ever before, by far.
I think one of the biggest problem with modern society is that people have become very distanced from goodness. Many young people are coming up having very little connection to "goodness" directly, and really felt what it feels to help another person out, and how fulfilling it is, and how much of a difference one person can really make for others in the real world.
It creates a hopelessness in society like it does in any other arena of life. If you have a big, messy ass bedroom, it viscerally looks and feels impossibly overwhelming to even start cleaning it, if you take in everything at the same time. But if you just pick away at one thing at a time and refrain from contributing to it, the problem inevitably goes away.
The problems of the world are finite. They're a big ass pile, but the pile ends. And sure we always add new things to the pile. But technology is getting better, prosperity is only rising, and solving our problems becomes more realistic with every passing day.
Worst case scenario, we can even just focus on making money, and sending it to Effective Altruism charities, and let smart people figure out how to best use our resources to tackle the big problems while we focus on our own life shit.
But you gotta keep contributing to the positive pile and not to the negstive pile. It seems so easy to just throw another thing onto the negative mountain, and not contribute to the positive one way off in the distance, but it's the good fight. -

He literally didn't argue that though. He says that the progress should be an optimistic indication, even though improved media and communication technologies make it seem worse than ever, because you're not isolated any more, so it's easy to lose sight of the fact that things are getting better and efforts are effective.
But he is also very clear that there is no guarantee that things will keep improving, and we need to keep inducing further change directly.
But that's not going to happen if edgy faggot nigger retard 12 year old cunt fucktroll media programmed NPCs keep trying to act like nothing is working.
For example on the issue of race relations: no, things haven't gotten worse, contrary to keyboard warrior faggotry. There are downwards deltas. But we have never lived in a more tolerant and progressive time, ever.
Everything is getting better and we can make it better, so there is no excuse to not try. Except you: Kill yourself. -
2018-12-24 at 8:39 PM UTCSteven Pinker is an open borders zionist jedi and jedi supremacist.
And Loing, doesn't your post boil down to "as a muslim it's not my job to worry, whitey and the asians will solve all the world's problems for us". -

it's basically a summary of his arguments in enlightenment now. he uses the standard neoliberal our world in data approach with lots of graphs and charts to paint a picture of a world getting better at a surface level while being flippant about major issues we've created like climate change
as for better angels his treatment of historical data is a pretty egregious example of cherry picking and largely undermines his central thesis
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273371719_Pinker's_List_Exaggerating_Prehistoric_War_MortalitySo let us look back over Pinker’s list. Of the original 21, Gobero, Niger is out because it has no war deaths. Three cases, the burial ground across the Nile from Site 117, Sarai Nahar Rai, lndia, and Calumnata, Algeria are all eliminated because they only have one instance of violent death. One site each was dropped because of duplication in Brittany, southern Scandinavia, and California. That leaves two-thirds of the original List. 14 examples, which purportedly represent average war mortality among 'prehistoric people.' Jebel Sahaba, the two cases from the Dnieper gorge, and Indian Knoll are all highly unusual in their very early dates and number of casualties, when compared to other contemporary locations, including 117's neighbor’s cemetery (see Ferguson, chapter 11). Three European sites are from the Mesolithic, which has gained a reputation for violence compared with earlier and later cultures, and two of those are from the Ertebolle tradition, which has an established reputation of being especially violent even within the Mesolithic. Four cases (compiled from many more individual sites) are from the Pacific coast. British Columbia, and Southern-Central California, all of which have higher levels of violence than any other long-term North American sequence, and which still show great variations by time and place. The final three are from Illinois and South Dakota or thereabouts, which, even during the most violent centuries in the entire sequence of prehistoric North America, stand out at the extreme points of warfare killings.
Is this sample representative of war deaths among prehistoric populations? Hardly. It is a selective compilation of highly unusual cases, grossly distorting war's antiquity and lethality. The elaborate castle of evolutionary and other theorizing that rises on this sample is built upon sand.
pinker may be a genius in psycholinguistics but his popsci ventures far outside his actual area of expertiseact like nothing is working.
because nothing is working fast enough, the negative trends overwhelm the positiveFor example on the issue of race relations: no, things haven't gotten worse
they haven't gotten worse but we're running up against HBD limits, once people realize that the hereditarians are right, there are major biological differences between races and IQ gaps can't be narrowed significantly, i foresee a major cultural shift toward anti multiethnicismEverything is getting better
no it's not, even human intelligence is in declineand we can make it better
we could but we're not on track to do soKill yourself

The link minimally diminishes his point. You have to be a big time yard to think it critically undermines his argument in any way.because nothing is working fast enough, the negative trends overwhelm the positive

Legitimately retarded contingent of the internet that doesn't understand how statistics work and substitutes length for substance, strikes again.
The problem with interracial intelligence studies conducted thusfar has been methodological, and rightards simply do not want to admit this, because if someone points out that these results cannot be used to draw the conclusions they want to draw, they tard out and yell FEELS FACTS?
Go and actually read The Bell Curve or listen to any interview with Charles Murray to actually hear what the strongest researcher on the subject of race IQ differences himself says about it.
In subsequent interviews, he has also admitted to the selection problems of current racial studies: for example, the East Asian population in the US can be sampled as fairly as possible to represent the EAsians in the US, but the population itself is a poor sample to represent EAsians: the majority of families who are even capable of making the migration from East Asia had to have the resources available to them to make the move and thus were likely middle to upper class, better educated families of higher social stature and familial backgrounds of success, and there were large waves of East Asian migrations after the largest scale systematic racism had been eliminated. Meanwhile for blacks, the studies are literally sampling the descendents of people who were impacted by Jim Crow less than 50 years ago, or going to sub Saharan Africa and asking a villager to take an IW test, like they're really going to even have the same proficiency at the test as the comparison groups.no it's not, even human intelligence is in decline

instead of responding to this directly right now, I'll make a thread in the next few days on why I think everything is awful. I need to find a way to condense it and make it readable though -

i'll respond to this properly when i sober up after christmas but lol you are dunning-kruger as fuck if you actually think charles murray is the foremost researcher in the area of race and intelligence, he co-wrote one book 25 years ago and has been mostly irrelevant since, meanwhile arthur jensen studied it for 40 years and has covered most of the things you think are contentions decades ago but i doubt you've read a single paper. no wonder you have such a dumb and misinformed opinion on this, you haven't done anything more than basic bitch cursory research but still think you can say something authoritative
and no, pinker's cherry picking doesn't minimally diminish his point, it totally blows his better angels thesis out of the water because it renders him unable to even establish the basic axiom, which is that violence has declined in the long term
