You're conflating how my initial reply came across with what I clarified I meant. You can criticize my wording, but insisting your interpretation is correct after I've explained my argument isn't addressing what I'm actually saying. Can you recognize that distinction?

Thomas Page @skepphilo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Are you responding to what I actually said? I agreed the problem is identifiable. My point is that identifying a problem is not the same as figuring out how to solve it.

I went to a REN FAIRE and the amount of flyers and AI generated crap was too damn high. They even had a shop that was just entirely AI generated posters.

Most people can't discern wisdom from intelligence, or even define it.

Only while growing up. Psychologically people only change when they NEED to, and money insulates people from anything that puts pressure on them to change.

Thanks for clearing that up; you failed to understand my post.

They go on hate websites and are an extremist themselves. So they've convinced themselves that things like this are not abandonment of humanity.

I haven't, but Sapiens makes the same case, and End Times by turchin points out that social disintegration cycles speed up with polygamy.

The core of my issue is simplicity of execution, not the subject itself. We have to define it, identify causes, and determine which solutions can improve outcomes without making new problems.

Did I argue sexism is good? Yes/No Does medicine have legitimate sex-specific considerations? Yes/No Is "Eliminating sexism" sufficient as a solution? Yes/no

Men need to fear women, until then the patriarchy will persist.

-to make wives of them, and they are treated with utmost care (unlike what typically happens when men wanted wives) and when they wanted to bring them back, the Amazonians refused, saying they did not know how to do "Women's work" and set up a separate colony.

I've been telling people the most successful slave program in history was women. Removing their herbal and medical knowledge to keep from getting poisoned, discouraging use of weapons, etc. There's a story in Herodotus' Histories about Amazonian women being stranded and the local youth are sent-

Easy solutions are rarely wise. As with anything worth doing the solutions are complex and difficult and prone to error over enough time. For example, "eliminating sexism" (whatever that means) could cause people to ignore issues specific to female reproductive systems.

I think that would be primarily psychological warfare, not biological, to be fair.

Returning to life in prison is just fine, no need to be ridiculous with releasing someone back into society.

"Until death" was added because of botched executions. I say the universe is objecting, let it slide.

I believe Herodotus does. T.E. Lawrence records contamination of wells with bodies, and I can't remember which greek it was but it's related to the copyright of food; the elite were poisoned. Athenaeus.

I misread “In fact, the evidence suggests we’re talking about a more communal object, perhaps a set of booklets through which information was passed down from one generation to the next – the ‘lone genius’ idea is kind of out of the door.” my apologies, I interpreted that differently.

If I construct a language and use steganography it would be pretty much impossible to translate because it removes all anchor points. If the only "real" words were the first letter of each word like Trithemius and other magical works like Key of Solomon use, then the rest can be gibberish.

Disintegrative cycles in societies cause divisive ideologies and unifying ones are suppressed. Integrative cycles work opposite and the time for that will be approximately 30-40 years from now.

For a cult it's designed this way so as to limit movement out. By doing so, you can extract what you want from them. Same process works for nations. By restricting movement you retain GDP and by opening the tap inwards you can increase it. Outflow is restricted to the elite who become problems anywy

To clarify for my American audience by reframing a different way: Killing is bad. A poor person can kill a few people. A Rich person can kill exponentially more due to protections their money offers. Therefore they are *MORE* problematic for *SOCIETY* because the problems *SCALE*. If you don't agre-

I said that the person I was responding to felt the consequences more clearly and was ostracized from society because they didn't have the money to avoid those consequences. Please read better.

-immiseration going for women which causes pushes for even more crackdowns which don't effect the rich. Bill Cosby straight up admitted to drugging women as a teen in his biography "Childhood" but it took decades for anything to happen. Even if he was on a list, his money insulated him from conseq.

You forgot the key element that separates yourself from the ones that are more problematic in society. Money is a vaccine for stupidity and malice. We value money in society far more than anything else; so if any of these guys are rich their lives will be mildly inconvenienced at best, and keep the-
