I wasn’t suggesting to actually do this. I was trying to point out that it’s quite difficult to make in the first place…

You don’t necessarily have to use ergot though that is probably simpler. I believe there is a total synthesis.

For lots of people even survival is difficult is the point

I mean if you can work out how to synthesize it. I believe it requires a fair bit of equipment and chemistry knowledge.

They aren’t denying any genocide.

Flu shots are only given to the elderly and vulnerable where I live. It’s weird to see people talking about getting the flu shot like it’s a normal thing.

Is it the RoG Strix by any chance?

Glad you learned something. Normally this is where I get told that the marxist version of the term is wrong or dumb even though it’s closer to the original meaning than the modern definition.

I am sure the authors of Merriam Webster don’t mean anything harmful. Dictionaries update their definitions based on how they see the term being used, and many modern people don’t respect the original meaning of the term. In political circles we still use the original meaning. You can see why this causes confusion.

You’re using a definition from a random dictionary. This is neither the original meaning of the term nor the one Marxists use. The version you looked up is a “new” bastardization of the original term.

The bourgeois class under marxism is the class that makes money by owning capital through the labor of others. Think about people who own businesses or have large investments. They don’t make all that money themselves, they make it from people who work in facilities they own.

There is something called petite bourgeois that could be called middle class. These are small business owners who both work their own business but also have employees they profit from. Marxists care about how you make money, not how much.

Why does he blow the whistle?

The bourgeois are the rich. You have been misreading the whole thing.

Given it’s responsible for many or even most democratic societies I would generally say yes.

You realize lots of societies including American and France were formed around terrorism and coup d’état?

You know it’s not often I agree with lemmygrad or hexbear but I think they have a point here. Shocking that people are against this. Ideally we would kill the billionaires that own this infrastructure as well, rather than just destroy it and hope they don’t rebuild.

I can get 5G in small villages and towns even. So I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Stalin invented the term Marxist-Leninist. Before that they were just called Leninists.

Thank you I guess?

To be honest I don’t think intelligence can be boiled down to a single number. Like somebody or something can have a slow processing speed but can do a lot of different things, versus something or someone that is incredibly fast but limited in it’s usage. To some extent this actually happens inside human minds with things like system 1 vs system 2 in psychology having different roles within the brain/mind of a human and being suited to different things (flexible but slow and single tasking vs dumb but fast and parralel in this case).

Also I am considered by my society to have a mental disability. So regardless of how far right of this distribution I might be there are still things I don’t understand that more average people can. You could argue that those things are only domain-specific forms of intelligence but I don’t know if that’s actually true or not. There are too many variables and anomalies we don’t understand.

Except piloting a plane requires actual skills. Plus actually flying the thing isn’t even the hard part, it’s not that much more difficult than driving a car from what I understand. The difficult parts are doing paperwork, setting up the plane, dealing with ATC and passengers, and most of all finding a way to fund all the training and building up the flying hours without going broke.

Before any commercial plane takes off all kinds of performance calculations are done and flight plans are filled to make sure it’s actually safe. Load and balance plus fuel checks all have to be done. Pilots need to plan and brief on emergency procedures and so on, this is also done prior to landing.

What the fudge is this comment?

Serious question: what kind of drug abuse does it take to shave off 10 IQ points? I’ve done my fair share and would prefer not to have that happen to me - if it hasn’t already.
