    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    I don't think any of the statements I have posted here in the past one or two months have been simpleminded. In fact my views are extremely complex and subtle. Well, either I'm not intelligent at all, or the things I say aren't garbage. But whatever your conclusion may be, don't base it on...

    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    That's not true. I also use the term "conspiracy theorist" in a derogatory way, but I don't look up to Bush or ANY authority figure. Nor do I reject EVERYTHING people like David Icke, Alex Jones, Benjamin Fulford or Mike Adams say. The British monarchy IS evil, but they're not shapeshifting...

    If that is your preconceived notion of me (based on the past rather than the present), communication becomes a meaningless waste of time. Cheers!

    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    Let me clarify then: I do not discuss the DETAILS of conspiracy theories. I will not enter point by point discussions about building 7, HAARP, chemtrails and all the rest. You may also be confused about my statement because I DO talk about the rich conspiring against the poor. I also say that...

    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    Conspiracy theorist is certainly a derogatory term, just as "Truth Movement" is an euphemism. Not everyone who is interested in conspiracies is a conspiracy theorist. Many conspiracies are well documented. Declassified and leaked documents can all reveal genuine conspiracies going on. That the...

    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    Well, the forum was already fucked after years of neglect. At least zezt is keeping the English section active. But to make something clear: I'm neither a supporter of the Venus Project nor of Descartes. And I do not discuss conspiracy theories (9/11, chemtrails etc.), as they are a waste of time.

    Gender and psychedelic culture.

    It's not a matter of "having testosterone", but the quantity of it. From Wikipedia: On the basis of diffusion tensor imaging of 1,000 brain scans it has been shown that significant differences in wiring exist between male and female brains. Men's brains were shown to have stronger...

    "It is pseudoscience" No, this is reputable science. In fact this is a field of science in which there's no room for disagreement. By the end of the second month, male fetuses start producing testosterone, which modulates their brain development. This differentiation is necessary for the...

    What is the Matrix? reborn thread

    "So-called 'education' is the first full on mind control we all face from being very young. Some of these rich evil sadists got sent to boarding school when they were kids. So they are extremely indoctrinated, because they cannot even escape that place and go home." Absolutely. Reminds me...

    This is a logical fallacy called Argumentum ad hominem. It indicates you don't have valid counterarguments, and so revert to character assassination in a desparate attempt to devalue what the other has said. This is typical of people driven by a certain ideology, rather than committed to reason...

    How can you gain insight from a drug?

    Yes, I know. Grammar and rhetoric are the other two aspects of the trivium.

Well, IF this is HeartCore's view...
