It's rude to post a private article. 404 Media only wants people with an account to view that article.

Damn, no wonder I pay cash for everything. I seriously thought it was just because I hated cards and because most places don't accept crypto. Maybe I should have been more suspicious if my sexual attraction to children!

No, I was immediately sent to to the gallows and executed before I had time to explain it to them. ):

Wtf... No more hit squads with the boys??? What has America come to...

I have a very expensive proscription. Unfortunately I left the money for that proscription in my pocket... and then washed my clothes. The cash got completely shredded. I went back to the bank and the teller goes "hello! What brings you back here so soon?" Apparently "laundering drug money" was not the correct answer to give in those circumstances.

Goooood... No more posting; only arguing... Join the dark side and become more powerful than you ever imagined!

You are right that they are related, but the relation goes in the opposite direction: knowledge and intelligence are the only produced by wisdom, not the other way around. Two different people can look at the exact same historical fact and come to completely different conclusions. For example: The Soviet Union sucked balls real Communism is awesome Therefore the Soviet Union was not real Communism VS The Soviet Union sucked balls The Soviet Union was real Communism Therefore Communism sucks balls Both of these are valid syllogisms, both of these look at the exact same uncontroversial historical fact, and yet they derive wildly different conclusions. In this case, nobody ACTUALLY gives a shit about the Soviet Union. If these two people were to argue with eachother, the least productive thing they could possibly do is scrape through old Soviet records looking for more and more proof that the Soviet Union was shitty. The fact is that people almost NEVER disagree on matters of data, math, or logic. Even if they tell you they disagree on one of those things, it's far more likely that they just lack self awareness. Instead, people almost always disagree on methodology, arguments' premises, and the interpretation of any conclusions to be drawn. Another example: have you noticed that Libertarians will never blame any problems on the a business? They see the same problems everybody else does clear as day, but they will always blame the state for the problem, or they will say that the problem was unavoidable in any circumstance. Really we were never meant to try and grasp and predict wisdom. Instead, we should strive towards purposeful dialogue with other people, and towards and mai taining an appearance of objective truth. I think that's the most productive truth-seeking course of action in the end.

I've decided I'll start going "a wise man once said..." and then I'll just quote myself.

Yeah, I believe that relay operators have the right to own user's notes. It is very easy to transmit a billion nonsense notes. That's not a useful service. The real value is in storing notes with some kind of value. That way people actually want to use the relay. This still can't prevent people from simply talking with eachother on a different relay, so that's not an issue. But it does solve some of Nostr's biggest problems.

Also, I think you are missing the point. My goal isn't to know the truth of those stories. My goal is to not need to. To not even care. To be able to make decisions without needing to be able to predict the future and deduce the past. I want wisdom, not knowledge or intelligence.

That saying misses an important fact. I want to have very fast friends. Even if everybody else is retarded, I am not satisfied just being slightly less retarded than them. I want to be the kind of person who could do well even if everyone else wasn't so terrible.

I don't care at all about whether someone attacks me back. I actually hate evidence and stories because they require research, and in general I believe it's wrong to assign homework just to talk with someone else, even during an argument. I actually have a strategy to avoid being wrong 100% of the time without having to do research. The rule is very simple: never argue about real people or events. Always speak in abstract principles so that even if what you say isn't relevant, it's still at least true. There are a great deal of posts that I ignore completely just because they never lead to any kind of higher principle. Oh no! Trump is evil! The Democrats are evil! Our country is falling apart! Look at this man saving a cute kitty from hypothermia! Jesus cured my cancer! Some no-name Youtube just cured 500 people's blindness! The only reason I even bothered to research your posts is because I wanted to say "woah, that's terrible! People shouldn't be persecuted for speech!" The second sentence "people shouldn't be persecuted for speech" follows my rule, but I realized that my first sentence broke my rule and I couldn't actually type it without first checking.

Sorry, I looked it up. According to what I read, the man posted an anti-semitic meme and then got arrested for an unrelated felony stalking warrant. The Jewish Sheriff said that the man "posted the anti-semetic meme and then got arrested", which is technically true, but also clearly intended to trick people into thinking anti-semetic speech is legally dangerous. Not only is that a stupid decision on the sheriff's part because speech should NEVER be seen as legally dangerous, but it was also stupid because the only effect was getting a whole bunch of people to post anti-semetic memes in response to what he said. Emotionally fragile and manipulative Jewish sheriffs like this are a disgrace. I'm glad someone wasn't actually arrested for speech, but this sheriff's behavior was still shameful.

No, I don't actually give a shit about your tone of voice. I pride myself on being able to speak with anyone, no matter how many insults they sprinkle into the conversation. The only thing I expect is that their insults have some sort of reasoning behind them. If you can't point to anything specific I've said or done that you have a problem with then how could any reasonable person be offended by what you say? This is not the first time I've been criticized for my tone online. I have even been called a bot because of my language a few times, even though many other aspects of my conversation are completely un-bot-like. (Seriously, have you seen a bot that is as willing as I am to say the word "nigger"?) To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that the only aspect of my "tone" that people dislike is the fact that I'm not immediately agreeing with them about everything they say! How dare I ask for clarification before agreeing!

I see, so the only thing that makes me a stupid race cuck dingbat idiotic moronic piece of subhuman garbage is my tone of voice in my replies? Is there something else too, or should I just focus on improving that?

I am greatful to be talking with the best person in the world. What have I done that's annoying? Is there something I've said or asked that I shouldn't have?
