It's the classic smart person trap of not knowing they sound really retarded when they try to talk about something outside the field they are an expert in.
The Zizek debate was a great demonstration of this at many subtle levels. He brought out his classic lobster hierarchy BS and Zizek dismantled it in 2 sentences, as well as the basic bad assumption that Marxism means no hierarchies.
The thing is, when real big daddy intellectuals talk out of their specialized field, it's usually because they have really informed themselves about that subject. Jordie really does not give enough of a fuck to do this for almost anything he talks about that isn't psychology.
But even ignoring all of that, he's just immensely overrated as a public intellectual purely because he made a public stand that was perceived as being anti-SJW and the internet epic gamer BEN SHAPIRO OWNS LIBTARD contingent latched on to him as a result. The best indication of this is that books he has written are frankly trash. They're pretty popular but they are trash, kind of like a 50 Shades of Grey. The books by someone like Zizek (I only use him as an example because they shared a stage as if they were equals, when that couldn't be further from the truth, so he's a great demonstration) are of the type that will be studied for generations because they are original and groundbreaking..
As an actual intellectual he's more similar to the level of some cunt like Sam Harris. -

this is not true. the earth produces oil on a daily basis and it never stops, and oils arent made from dead dinosaurs, they're made from soils, which are feceses and bodies of dead creatures, of not just dinosaurs but also of cows and birds and dogs and trees and your great grandpas.
oils are a renewable form of energy people, and trillions of barrels of it are being produced in the belly of the earth while your asleep.
on a daily basis.
No. Most dead shit turns into coal. Only dead phytoplankton turn into oil, and that takes 100m years. 80% of our oil today was formed in the palaeozoic and early to mid Mesozoic era, i.e. 150-500m years ago, because the Earth was warm and there were a shitload of phytoplankton that died and got buried. Cretaceous period (~100m) onwards there haven't been many conditions for large phytoplankton deposits so the Earth isn't making much oil nowadays. -

2019-09-25 at 5:37 PM UTC in Minecraft is getting biome updates that we vote onI think deeper oceans and higher mountains could be awesome. They should add restrictions on ladder placement (for example you have to prep the side of blocks to ladder them like you have to hoe the ground for seeds) and instead add rappelling lines and climbing gear that degrades and uses stamina. Rappelling lines would be awesome because right now you kinda have to use water to create a quick and easy "ladder".

So when my friend gave me a bite
Iโm like mmm itโs ok itโs alright kinda smells funny
Then my friend gets all offended lowkey and says
What does is smell like.. like not a dead body ?
Making me feel bad and chit for not being vegan and I hate that chit
When I was a vegetarian I never did people like that lol
Shoulda been like "ya instead it smells like weaksauce" -

You just proved my point.
and btw that thing still doesn't even look human.
I only just read this and it is incredibly hilarious. What the fuck are "Aryan features"? That's not how genetics work. Basically you acknowledge he is hot but somehow it's white people who made this black man hot -

Maltodextrin can change the composition of your gut bacteria by suppressing the growth of beneficial probiotics. Research conducted at Lerner Research Institute in Ohio relays polysaccharides like maltodextrin have been linked to bacteria-associated intestinal disorders. According to researchers, the escalating consumption of polysaccharides in Western diets parallels an increased incidence of Crohnโs disease during the late 20th century.
A 2012 study found that maltodextrin increased bacterial adhesion to human intestinal epithelial cells and enhanced E. coli adhesion, which is associated with autoimmune disorders. Even more research points out that maltodextrin promotes the survival of salmonella, which may be responsible for a broad range of chronic inflammatory diseases.
A study conducted at the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center in Boston also indicates that maltodextrin impairs cellular antibacterial responses and suppresses intestinal antimicrobial defense mechanisms, leading to inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions that arise from an inappropriate immune response to bacteria.
Basically SpectraL Google's the thread title, diarrheates the first conspiracy theory and doesn't do follow up research. -

Daniel Seligman
There is no getting around certain large and troubling implications of black-white differences. The implications seem most troubling when you turn from the average differences and focus instead on the differences at the extreme – when you contrast the two overlapping bell-shaped distribution curves and look at the proportions in each group scoring above and below certain levels. If you tell yourself that the top professional and managerial jobs in this country require an IQ of at least 115 or thereabouts, then you also have to tell yourself that only about 2.5 percent of blacks appear able to compete for those jobs. The comparable figure for whites would be about 16 percent. Total black population with IQs over 115: 800,000. Comparable figure for whites: about 30 million. If blacks had the same IQ distribution as whites, the black total would be over 5 million.
IQ DistributionThe data are even more depressing on the downside. An IQ in the 70-75 range, which many psychologists would label "borderline retarded," implies a life that is guaranteed to be short of opportunities. Very few students in that range will absorb much of what elementary schools teach, and virtually none will graduate from high school; few will succeed in finding and keeping good jobs. None will be admitted into the armed forces (required by law to screen out the lowest ten percent of the distribution). The bad news is that a substantial minority – apparently more than one in five – of American blacks have IQs below 75. Around one in twenty whites are below 75.
The black-white gap is 15 points when measured on the Wechsler tests, 18 on the Stanford-Binet. Both tests are, of course, normed so as to produce an average of 100, but the white average is a bit higher. On the Wechsler metric, whites and blacks average 102 and 87, respectively. On both tests, the gap between the races is almost exactly 1 SD (standard deviation). The gap of 1 SD has been observed since the earliest days of intelligence testing.
There are also significant black-white differences in the structure of mental abilities. The test-score patterns show that the two groups are good at different things. On average, whites do better on all the subtests, but their margin of superiority varies considerably from one subtest to another. Or look at it this way: If you took a sample of black and white children, all of whom had scored around 100 on the WISC-R – that is, the black kids in the sample were above the black average – you would expect to find significant black-white differences on six of the thirteen subtests. The average black kid would do better on Arithmetic and Digit Span; the average white kid would do better on Comprehension, Block Design, Object Assembly, and Mazes …
These subtest differences have one common theme, and its name is g. The tests on which the gap is greatest are those with the most g-loading – which means, in general, those that call most heavily on reasoning and problem-solving abilities. The June 1985 issue of The Behavioral and Brain Sciences carries a long report by Arthur Jensen analyzing eleven sizable studies of black-white IQ differences. The underlying data had been collected by different researchers at different times (but none before 1970). All the studies had several things in common: All were based on large population samples, all measured a broad range of mental abilities, and all included black-white breakdowns of their various subtests.
In all eleven studies, Jensen found consistently strong positive correlations between the size of the black-white gap on subtests and the extent to which the subtests called on g … The correlation coefficient, after appropriate adjustments, appears to be well above .60.
In other words, the black-white IQ gap is in large measure a reflection of differences in reasoning and problem-solving ability.
This was not exactly news in 1985. Long before Jensen set out to quantify the "g effect" in black-white differences, it was generally well known that the differences were greatest in measures of abstract reasoning, not so great in measures of verbal skill, smallest of all in memory and rote learning.
