 The Trews (True News) - Russell Brand's Revolution 
#20970755 - 12/13/14 10:59 AM (9 years, 4 months ago) |

Let me just begin by saying that I'm an absolute philosophical zombie. My friends say I'm too pessimistic but I'm just being real.
I don't believe in God, or the Illuminati or Capitalism.
What I do believe is that we are evolving into a super sentient species thanks to Science and Neil Degrasse Tyson :P The way we are living at the moment isn't sustainable. I think if we continue to evolve technologically we will become more aware of the entire universe and we might even become God. (I'm talking about in the astronomical blinking of an eye. Maybe in about 200,000,000 years time).
I think reality is defined by the awareness of people in the "moment".
I think that "moment" is a bit skewed to our brains because in society and especially on public transport people are so in fear of everything, that they have lost sense of reality (including myself). It's a bit like psychosis, crossing the line between real life and fantasy. People are so in fear of ISIS and their mortgages that they kind of forget "Hey I'm gonna die one day. That's real"
I love Russell for the work he is doing and that's why I made these new forums for like-minded non-conformists who believe freemasons are lovely people.
http://trewsforums.com
Please discuss your ideologies, I would like to hear them from you sexy intelligent beings.

This thread might find better discussion in the Philosophy forum and it's worth moving it imo.

There have always been small minority that see the world the way you do. I don't think that's going to constitute a super sentient awakened species. IMO it's just not going to happen. 
Btw, I certainly wouldn't mind a majority of humans like Neil. He seems to be a lovely human. I find that to be exceedingly rare. But hey I don't know how he is at home with friends and family so who knows.

I am Neil Degrasse Tyson and I can confirm that I am an absolute tyrant at home. 
Lol. I think we're all okay in 2014. It's just the big boys who are destroying this lovely planet. We have the infrastructure, we need a shift in ideology.

The reason why I posted in the politics section is because we want to change politics. We want to take politics to the area outside of the box. In fact, what we want to reinforce is the idea that there is no box. As much as we want to change our internal worlds and become better humans through meditation, spirituality, mindfulness and psychedelics. We also want to change our external reality, we want to make this a better world and change things up.
It's more political than it is philosophical.

Dude. Russell Brand is a complete twat! And he acts that way because the working class of Britain are like that in the pubs on the weekend. He wants them to know he's representing them. (Who make up more than 50% of the population of Britain by the way).
So it's a class war. And Russell's message is simple. "We're all different. But we're all equal. Be nice. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Be tolerant. Let's make this a better place for future generations"

So his worst scientific mistake is to misquote Bush as saying "Our God is the God who named the stars" when if fact Bush actually said "The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today" (referring to the crew of the Columbia).
I don't think it's a huge mistake, and it's certainly not one that discredits his scientific knowledge.

His intellect may be ceiling high, much like Tyson's, but I don't think that's a reason for him to stop pointing out stupidity.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Russel Brand is stupid and Tyson is an astrophysicist. That is it. If he says something about astrophysics I will listen. Other than that? I will treat him like I treat Noam Chomsky.

That's not quite it. He's a Harvard educated physicist, with a PhD in astrophysics from Columbia. Few people are smart enough to get accepted into such programs.

If you have one example of Russel Brand opining in any kind of intelligent manner about anything I would love to see it. I have not as of yet. Quote:

OK. So anybody who has a credential from an Ivy is in your opinion de facto super smart. Gotcha. I have a stepson with a Chem E degree form Columbia and is pursuing a PhD in same at Penn. Do you know what credibility in re politics, business or social policy that grants him, in either his or my eyes?
The worst president we ever had before this yutz was a physicist. They should stick to their fields. They get lost when they wander off their reservation.

Not a guarantee, but it's highly likely statistically.

Do you think you have better political credentials than him?  I think intelligence is very important for politics.

First of all, he's not the worse by any consensus rankings but your own. So what degree do you think a president should have?

I don't think there really is any "controversy" with Neil deGrasse Tyson. The author of that piece really seemed to be grasping at straws, he started with a position and looked for evidence to back it up later. Honestly it just makes him look foolish. NdG has actually defended Republicans many times, yet for some reason everyone thinks he's some super leftist.

What good points? Every single thing I have seen in print from him is incredibly stupid. Jon Stewart is a smarmy cunt as well, playing to retards. He is as substantial as a pigeon fartQuote:

Do you have any idea what my IQ is? Yes. I do think I have better political credentials than NdGT. He is a fucking academic. Opt out. I'm a business man. Quote:

Uh no, I am not alone in that assessment by a long shot. No degree is necessary but I would say business. They don't call it the Executive Branch for nothing
Romney got an MBA and JD at the same time from Harvard. Obama got an affirmative action appointment to the law review where he did absolutely nothing, which was unprecedented.

If he stays home he will be fine. If he Grubers he will not. This is the problem with worshiping these people. They have their fields. It dies not necessarily translate.

i have no problem with experts straying from their field, as long as people realize they aren't in their field anymore. I think NDT has a brilliant mind and i value his opinions, but they're just that, opinions.
And the author of that piece does an absolutely horrible job relaying that, he relies on buzzwords like "cult" to drive home a point he's trying to make which would be better served with actual evidence instead of accusations.

As far as I can tell he is an idiot savant and if he is at Columbia his politics are polluted with intellectual sewage.Quote:

No it wasn't. And he certainly couldn't possibly have expanded the wealth gap more than Obama has.

Russell Brand should just stick to what he does as a living and keep
quiet about politics! Clearly, he is unqualified to have any kind of opinion.
Me, on the other hand...
