Wouldn't you know, the ancients used psychedelics. Why am I not surprised?

Raises a good question
I wrote this morning:

All-in-all, this is a rather bleak piece of work.
Over the past few weeks, I've come to understand more about "the terror of the situation" than in the prior 28 years combined. http://www.nyland.org/losangeles.shtml
{that, or the past few weeks have witnessed the orchestrated objective reduction of 28 years of work - all in one fell swoop}
I wouldn't trade it for anything.....,
BD wouldn't trade it for anything either: An apparently respected insightful group of scientists actually believe that genes strongly influence human behavior...
BD, really, is that what this documentary is actually saying? Sure, you have your drum to beat -- but the point of the documentary (and the scientist who recanted by spectacularly committing suicide) is the exact opposite. Do you have any critical thinking skills? You don't have to agree with the perspective they present, but why lie on it outright?
My man...,
Always keeping it 100%!!!
BD, one of your co-religionists from the UK tried to accost me at one of constructive feedback's umpty-dozen blogsites over the past couple of days, and instead of squawking in Feed's basement, I've invited him over here into the light of day to aid and abet your proselytization efforts and so that you won't feel like a lone voice in the wilderness.
The man is like a rock!
a rock-ribbed, true-believer - accept no substitutes!!!
There was certainly one feature of that video that required little intense critical thinking to digest. That was the marvelous precise diction and descriptions by those British narrators, when compared with the indistinct and slurred limited-vocabulary excuse-for-speech of contemporary IQ-75 cultures...
Of course you would focus on form over function. Reminds me of one of my favorite comedies, The Importance of Being Ernest.
LOL RUFKM? How do you think Americans sound to someone from the UK? We sound like we have brain damage, is how we sound. Slow, slurred, funny accent, but definitely mentally impaired.
... but, maybe I'd better finish the thought here, they aren't actually smarter than us, they just talk a higher-status dialect than we do. Riiiiight?

BD was talking about the British narrators in the video, the cream of the educated British crop (not some dole-sucking pub-rats in outer Liverpool or Belfast). Polish your reading skills and take a second look at exactly what BD was comparing. Dudes in the video were better-spoken than even mainstream American news anchors...
Don can't make any sense out of your response. Were you maybe talking to Dale?
rotflmbao..,
and there it is...,
with mechanical precision and predictability EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO SAY about Curtis' final installment about individual and collective agency is reduced to some bootblack drivel about how british accents reinforce psychotic delusions about heritable IQ.
What a superb demonstration of the American political zeitgeist in microcosm....,
Only thing missing is how technology is going to save us from ourselves.
