Give me something juicy
Heterosexuality is not natural.
There is no moral way to raise a cat.
Either they live inside and live an entire life in a few thousand square feet at best for 16-20 years, or you let them outside to hunt and they kill tons of wildlife and are exposed to becoming roadkill/coyote food etc.
My personal dodge is to adopt old cats that have already been indoctrinated into inside life and who could never be let out anyway.
A: America and many other nations will soon need to create economic systems from the ground up. Capitalism and the rules we have to govern it, are just inertia with bandaids being used to keep it from hurling itself over a cliff. Socialism, Autoism (AI), and other ism’s we don’t know, will start outright replacing what we knew. The process will be chaotic and painful.
B: The death penalty and quicker judgments should be a thing, at least for America. The wheels of justice are too slow - and explicit terrorists like ICE are allowed to roam freely. They should be rounded up and put to the rope. Should the good guys win a 2nd American Civil War, all members of ICE and MAGA should sway in the wind, so that their ideas and character are not passed down to future generations of humanity. The mistaken mercy granted to the Confederates and Nazis, should not be given to the Dogey.
C: Peter Monyleux’s best games are Magic Carpet 1 & 2.
D: AI is good, but we will need it to be publicly owned by society, freely available, and open-sourced to ensure that it remains that way. The social problems with AI largely stem from the wealthy exerting their influence over the poor, as they do in all things.
E: The hardware drought for RAM and GPUs will pass, and we will have much better hardware choices for our local gaming and AI.
I have a bunch. I think the biggest one is that some people are naturally dumber than other people and can’t be fixed by education. I don’t think this broadly applies to any specific ethnic group or anything, but I do think that there is likely a genetic component to intelligence. I also don’t think that we should prevent these people from breeding or treat them as inferior, but I also think that sending these people to college is a waste of time and expecting them to do well on college either waters down the college education experience or puts unfair expectations on them. I worry a lot about how these people will fare in an increasingly automated world and the answer is not good at all.
Depends on your definition of “controversial”, for which I have two.
- In the sense of controversial meaning “a mainstream opinion that a large portion of the population finds morally reprehensible”: The death penalty.
It’s pretty much my singular strongly held conservative viewpoint, and as such one I’ve been open to frequently challenging throughout the years. I’ve heard out all the arguments against it: it costs the taxpayer too much money, sometimes people sentenced to death were actually innocent, the state shouldn’t be granted that amount of power to begin with, etc etc…
But to me, it’s always come down to an argument of morality. “Is it right to take another life, even if that life may endanger or harm others?” And this is usually where I would insert a thoughtful and nuanced philosophical paragraph or two to support my viewpoint…
But ever since all this Epstein shit has gone on to continuously spew out each day I’ve pretty much just been taking a well-deserved victory lap lol (Btw, I’m out of the loop… did Jizzstain ever end up successfully petitioning for her release after a few months of hugging puppies in max security?)
- In the sense of controversial meaning “what have you been smoking and can I have some”: A very, very niche conspiracy theory about the nature of UFOs.
Warning to alien enthusiasts: This is the Santa's-not-real equivalent of ruining your childhood (so if you love the idea of little green men, just keep your mystery)
So a long time ago, I read a really obscure publication discussing the nuances behind famous “alien sightings”, that halfway through makes the bombshell reveal that a majority of the so-called UFOs were mostly Russian spy technology, which coincides with a lot of certain historical events, ie. things like Roswell at the start of the Cold War, as well as “what they’re hiding” in Area 51… etc. Essentially, the whole “little green men” / “the grays” mysticism can be chocked up to a cover-up government conspiracy. “Oh no, you can’t go in there! There’s uh… secret aliens!! And UFOs!! Top Secret.”
The only time in my personal life I can ever recall having experienced a genuine UFO sighting (where I saw round lights rotating in a circle above cloud cover right over our building in broad daylight) was once as a kid while visiting my relatives… in Donetsk. So yeah, it kind of checks out. And going off of US history in general, I wouldn’t put it past them that it’s far more likely that most UFO “abductees” with PTSD were actually abducted and brainwashed by the government, especially since they’ve done that sort of thing before…
It’s kind of a shitty reveal. But hey, don’t let me ruin aliens for you, as even though little green men may be a complete fabrication (and seems way more obvious once you stop and think about how simplistic their design is lol…), that doesn’t necessarily equate to disproving all possibility of alien life. Just like with religion, you can’t really prove a negative. Fermi’s Paradox and all that.
So there’s technically no real evidence that extraterrestrial life couldn’t exist… Even if there’s a 99% chance that any strange things you’ve personally encountered wasn’t actually aliens, lol
UK Rock bands and singers are galaxy away from US Rock bands and singers.
Aight I got one, I believe the elderly are less valid than the young and should have a lot of their privileges taken away. No voting once you hit retirement, no more driving, they should be entirely at the mercy of public infrastructure and if it’s not good enough for them then too bad. They had their entire life to build a better future and look where we are now. The senior vote has practically enabled fascism and they deserve more hatred for the way they think and behave. Especially since they are dependent on the young to bring in enough taxes to pay for their pension.
Anyways, let’s see who this upsets most 😅Removed by mod
Free will does not exist in the way we think of it, as this divine, magic thing that is above anything. Most of your success is more due to chance, and your environment, than your effort.
If you get taught wrong by your parents and/or peers, you are almost guaranteed to be locked into your bad behavior. So it was decided for you that you would play the role of a “bad person”.
Pretty much related to Nietzsche’s quote: “some men are born post-mortem”.
There’s also been a study showing monkeys unable to learn certain things, because it goes against the wirring of what they already learned, regardless of motivation, effort, reward.
Here’s one, threads like this are a cynical attempt to generate discussion on quiet days
I have two!

You want co controversial?! Ok
I think we should be able to decide our own deaths if we want too, and that should be law. Depresion is real, yes, but a lot of people want to LITERALLY impose life into others. Not only talking about end stage or crippling disease but also psychological issues so bad living with it is torture. You reading this and disagreeing are doing it becuse you afe either religious, and you are imposing your religion into others, or someone else would feel bad, regardless if the person lives in agony, they have to live to not make someone else sad. “I don’t want my son to take his life” YOU YOU YOU.Of course I think there should be procedures and controls in place, like +21, 1 or 2 years mandatory psychiatric follow up, if you have youngs kid you also can’t. But if you are an adult, no kids, fuck your opinion dude, it’s their life their choice.
ITT people posting lots of things I don’t find controversial at all.
