If you are feeling particularly hungry, here is a series of lectures on personality: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22J3VaeABQAOhH1CLMNnMl2R-O1abW1T

For all you Jordan Peterson fans out there. We know who you are, Uncle! A compelling presentation by Jordan at the Oxford Union. He is indeed one of the smartest intellectuals of our time.

Don't tell the wife!

Yes of course, I as being facetious. Ron Hubbard was a nutter.

I' waiting for the International Save the White Male Day.

No, this is not a thread about white supremacy. In fact it is the opposite. It is the title of a film I saw some time ago that gave me an insight into racism that was not perceivable beforehand. The film has a clever angle, where White's are the underclass and Black's are the wealthy. They...

Sometimes seeing a specific example can give pointers to how to use it yourself. e.g. How to be lonely: - Turn down opportunities to meet people - Favour alone activities to group activities - Don't go to religious meetings - Don't search the internet for local interest groups - Don't invite...

I am not making any claims over which sex is more guilty of sexism, or if indeed there is any difference. I personally think that each sex has its own guilt in this regard. e.g. men pay for meals on dates. Some argue this is "culture", yet this is still differentiating something based on gender...

Bee, I was listening to something about loneliness on the radio yesterday. I think they were talking about how it has gone up significantly. I don't really understand all the contributing factors, but it does exist. I don't really have any solutions, but I do have a mental toolkit for looking at...

I have started using a mind hack to assist in making personal change. It comes highly recommended as a favourite tool of Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's business partner and fellow billionaire. Here is some brainstorming I did mid-December on an issue I was dealing with: Problem I can't get...

Are you just trying to rack up the likes? :ROFLMAO:

If talking about how to define something, is that not the topic of semantics? The solution would be to remove the definition that sexism mostly affects one gender, since then it doesn't incriminate itself as being a sexist definition.

I consider the term feminism to be exclusionary. I prefer equality. Some may say it amounts to the same thing, but for me the emphasis is different. The term feminism is sexist, while the term equality isn't. :D

For me, I like spring. There is hope that we might get a good summer, although that rarely happens in the UK. In any case, the days get longer as the sun sets later, the temperature gets warmer and anticipation is in the air! So for me, this is my best season. What is your favourite season and why?

In the past, pneumonia was everywhere and a big killer too. Before antibiotics, there was little we could do to treat it effectively. It shortened lives. Yet today, loneliness is on the rise. While technology advances relentlessly forward, it has hijacked face-to-face social interaction. Yes...

Churchill said: Was he right? Can you include Republics in democracy? [Churchill himself was involved in chemical warfare, with those big cigars he used to smoke!]

Apple's share price peaked a while back, making it the first ever trillion dollar company. It is surprising what slapping an Apple logo on a product does to scrambling people's minds! Yet following a profit warning, shares prices have plummeted. It is nothing to do with the Muller investigation...

I remember something like that, in distant memory! Great concept for the whilstley voice!

I got this definition from the internet: The issue I have is with this part: Truncated, it says: "Sexism is discrimination based on a person's gender, especially women." Is this not a case of sexism within the definition of sexism? To suggest you cannot discriminate between the genders and...
