Reminds me of the messaging in Texas. Republican governor, senators, and majority in all other aspects of state government for like the last 30+ years but somehow all the ongoing problems the state of Texas has are the fault of democrats
Coincidentally that’s also around the time the US was going through a polarity flip with the 2 parties. The Dems were abandoning their former KKK platform and the GOP was adopting that same KKK platform.
The fact that Republicans have been doing this, and have literally stacked the courts for the last 20 years, shows that if you read Elon's tweets as though he's telling you what he's doing, you can see that it is in fact what he's doing.
The right wing has literally had an agenda to change the courts since Robert Bork initiated it in the 1960s. They were successful in locking in “originalism” into the judiciary and law school syllabi. All you’re taught in law school is how to work within these constraints and stari decisis.
In psychology we call it paranoid schizophrenia when someone thinks that there are sprawling conspiracy theories against them that are completely detached from objective reality.
He needs to stop doing unsupervised large recreational sized doses of ket. As well as get the fuck off twitter and touch grass.
Does it apply to the idiot voters too, or no because their place in the conspiracy theories aren't personal but about the group they belong to? Also instead of stopping he should do THE MOST ket possible, he should try to set a record or something
Contagious mass shared psychosis. these folks are socially isolated and pigeonholed into algorithms that drive them down right wing pipelines. They communicate only with those who share their madness and reinforce the fictional beliefs. Saw this with my cousin. Dude went down a conspiracy rabbit hole involving "kamala running to put biden back in office so bill gates could vax chip him" he voted trump and then missing 411ed himself and his wife on election day.
He thinks tons of people are doing "conspiracies" (read: tipping the scales of justice with unlimited funds) because that is what *he* would do and is doing
You are talking about "false consensus effect", you are correct: this goes beyond mere projection. He talks about "everyone believing the same as him" quite often in interviews.
However, from 1933-1981, the Senate was controlled by the Democrats for all but two 2-year stints ('47-9, when Truman (D) was President; and '53-5, when Eisenhower (R) was President). So there was only a 2-year stint where Democrats didn't effectively control the make-up of the SCOTUS. The only 2 Justices appointed by a Republican President (and only Ike) without needing to pick a nominee who had the Democrats' stamp of approval were Charles Evans Whittaker (who served less than 5 years,
gone in '62 and replaced by Arthur Joseph Goldberg, appointed by Kennedy (D)), and Stewart Potter (gone in '81 and replaced by Sandra Day O'Connor, appointed by Reagan (R) for no net change in the court's make-up).
Im guessing thats where imgur is linking with giphy. Ive not seen that myslef, but i dont doubt you at all, imgur has always been buggy and integrating with giphy is certain to cause more
universities have been doing that thing where they are like, telling students to reject social norms and stuff. that is what they did in China to install communism.
Bruh what? The universities weren't telling people to reject norms, Mao and the revolutionaries literally purged academics and scientists in the cultural revolution, what the fuck are you talking about
WTF are you babbling about? Are you trying, and failing, to describe their cultural revolution? In which academics were killed and imprisoned and then it took them 50 years of thieving intellectual property to catch up to other nations? Because THAT is when communism started in China. When they rejected education for fucking stupidity. Kind of like America is doing right now.
Ah yes, universities have been doing a marxism by (checks notes) rejecting blind acceptance of traditions as dogma and instead opting to understand things properly and in all of their complexity (as any researcher should do) and now without the divine proper order everything will collapse. I see you've been drinking the same bleach as my brother. Peterson fan?
Idk, time travel sometimes seems like a fun concept but I personally live in reality. I'm not sure you can enjoy that. I hear that if you consume too much brainrot material by pseudo intellectuals you tend to loose touch with it.
unfortunately I've never given Mr. Peterson a listen. I've probably seen a few hours of his material but that isn't due to me seeking it out. I am pretty sure Mr. Peterson is about 95% on all his assessments of human behaviour. He went to school and studied the same material as all the other behavioralists
The duality of man, never listened to the guy but saw hours of his material. Then again no, I dial that back. The way he talks and talks yet say nothing that makes full sense. I'll shorten him up for you: Word salad, some truths, many lies, pseudo science,speaking out of his ass of fields he never studies and complaining he's being silenced when experts in the fields call him out. Spreading fear that society will collapse without traditional rules.
