Controversial General Political Discussion

I sence that you are trying to tell me something...

*SENSE.

Are you sure you are filling good ?

Yes, colors are real in the sence that they are real perceptions and illusions created by our brain to interprate the differences of wavelenght that are coming into our photoreceptors.

But.

They are also (or can also be) social constructs in the sence that the differenciations and distinctions between colors are socially constructed as language is also a social construct and a physical particularity that has evolved over time.

You should see this, it will be clearer:

So colors as in lights different wavelengths are real but the names and distinctions we formulated are social constructs?

Any symbol is a social construct, no?

Y’all ever notice how a lot of terrorists end up being ex-military people?

like that Din Jabbar guy

A bunch of those people who stormed the capital on Jan 6th

I think more people ought to look into the soldier to terrorist pipeline

MK Ultra?

Sometimes even the perception of colors can be slightly different.

For example, some studies have shown that the way we name categories of colors in the language can make some cultures differenciate more quickly certain hue or value of the same color

Note that is to put in perspective with the more recent studies. The hypothesis of linguistic relativity (or "Sapir-Whorf" hypothesis) suggest that the language can influence drastrically the perception of the world. My example with Arrival comes from this theory.

BUT

Recent studies have been poundering the influence of language on the cognitive perception of concepts and while they admit that there is an influence, it is not as radical as we think. So we need to stay prudent as cultural differences will also create different cognitive perceptions.

This studies, for ex, shows that Russian can perceive some hue of Blue quicker than other culture: https://www.researchgate.net/public...l_Effects_of_Language_on_Color_Discrimination

In the end, yes, there is a part of biology (we can all see colors) but the way we are educated and transformed by society will guide or cognitive perception. Making the perception of color (not really color themselves) a social construct.

No, but i bet you are having a nice time in here.

Jan 6 they weren't "ex" military, if you know what I mean.

Better a flat earther than french or a furry Carrot fan

Yeah no

I think not fully, as a human's true essence still entails the flesh.

The biblical idea of it is that you have a body mind and spirit, even in heaven we will have a new body

 

[Monkey D Theories]

MK Ultra?

no I think the military has a habit of either attracting psychos, turning people into psychos, or maybe a bit of both

 

[Roo]

no I think the military has a habit of either attracting psychos, turning people into psychos, or maybe a bit of both

If that was the case violent crime statistic would be exponentially higher amongst vets and I dont think that's the case

It does attrack psychos, but it also turns normal men into hysterical brutes. The military breaks you down and teaches you to kill the enemy without questioning orders. Some people don't handle the pressure and end up mentally ill.

Suicide rate is higher at least.

What betrayal? Females in general are mostly in favour of uncontrolled mass immigration.

Aren’t there way more military in the US than other NATO nations ? Also a good way to learn howto kill is to join the army I guess

 

[RyoQ]

What about realizing there is a hierarchy in your group and then perform a coup to rise in said hierarchy?

This is just an extension of innate behaviors + memory

No need for concept-knowing/abstraction on the part of the animal

This Tommy Robinson guy did a documentary about victims of rapes perpetrated by gangs of Pakistani immigrants. It seems he got arrested for this. Apparently, if you talk about this there, you are xenophobic and you go to jail.

Today my dad's kitty kat tried to use the bathroom for what it is actually used for and after my brother said she isn't smart enough to know how to write, with me and him being inside the house, she made a meow that sounded like a Hey! outside the house and there was a window open, the second one is a cool coincidence but the first she's probably pretty smart

Really ? I will not look at a female the same way 😡

They are literally taking the rapists out of jail to make room for the guys who talk about the issue. This happens because capitalism still needs cheaper workers. Remember that Brits are also the ones who first created the Worker Unions.
