stupidity is a form of assault

"Now, the way I see it, stupidity is a form of assault. What is assault? What is rape? Rape is the invasion of your body without consent, any part of your body. Could be your genitalia, but could also be your brain.
Secondhand smoke is respiratory rape, because someone forces smoke into your body. Ambient noise pollution is auditory rape. The great unwashed is olfactory rape. Unwanted touch, invasion of private space are tactile rape. Not fully consensual sex is rape, pure and simple.
All forms of abuse constitute emotional rape. And in my view, stupidity is a rape. It is an intellectual rape. Someone forces his idiocy, his criticism, his moronic views into my brain without my consent and permission. He is raping me intellectually.
Rape should be criminalized in all its forms. Rape should be penalized in all its forms. The perpetrators should be relegated to penal colonies, virtual or otherwise."

"Youngsters today, according to this study, are focused on money, image, and fame, and they disparage values such as community, voluntarism, the environment, and knowledge acquisition. Ostentatious social activism is a form of virtue signaling. These youngers are socially active, demand justice in mass protests, on camera, they're posing, they're faking, they're out to garner likes and attention." Beware the Stupid Takeover!

I read most of it, I know how he feels, but the effort to make it funny keeps it sad. in fact I feel more stupid after reading it.
I wish there was something positive to add to it. there is alas no clear remedial call to action in the face of narcissism and egalitarian stupidity.
Pointing out a good direction would be smart.

Lol, that was a terrible read! samvaknin, one word, seems to think he's really on to something insightful while- ironically- making observations that appear equal in quality to the percieved output of the imbeciles he derides for about 3.5K words. My cringe muscles are now RIPPED off that workout. We get it. Dumb dummies are so dumb, women love meatheads. Why do smart guys get shit on? Because dumb fuckin dummies rule the world. And they're duuuuuuuuuuuuuumb, not like samvankin. Studies SHOW.


Quote:
But the stupid were wary. They were careful. They were cautious. They were afraid to express these opinions, lest they be shamed, ridiculed, and shunned by their betters. The stupid kept to themselves. They knew that if they were to venture out and offer their inane opinions or judgments or ideas, they would be put down metaphorically and sometimes physically.
So, they were afraid. They kept their counsel to themselves.
But this is no longer the case.

inb4 The fact I read the article; and am commenting about it despite knowing what it was gonna contain, perhaps proves some of his 'points'...

The thing about Sam Vaknin is he claims to be a psychopathic narcissist, so it's highly unlikely that he's capable of producing or writing anything that isn't insensible, or as he puts it, stupid, dumb, imbecilic.

Apparently it is a real thing https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=decline+in+IQ
As a young adult I had to work hard to realize and appreciate that many of us are differently intelligent. I was very elitist. I grieved that what I was noticing was invisible to nearly everyone. Then I started to catch on that people each had something different going on.
I really learned to appreciate others - but the backlash in the rise of fascism, terrorism, school shootings, anti-vaxism, etc. makes me want to find a nice hole and crawl inside.

That is a gross overuse of the word rape so as to make it superfluous, and consequently meaningless.

Yeah that checks out. Don't get me wrong, I experience stuff that hints to an eerily Idiocracyesque future too. My sense was just that to take the stance he did- as seriously as he did, does point to a concerning lack of intelligence equal to the concerns he posits. Insensible, absolutely. It just read like a teen edgelord post to me man, which as pointed out, offers no clue toward resolution.

Yeah definitely important to appreciate how vast the scope of what each individuals has to contribute, 'differently intelligent' is the perfect way to put it. I'd wager sometimes, people DID notice the things you thought they didn't, but just held the outcome or whatever in a lot lower regard so just bypassed it. I understand that IQ could be dropping but in the grand scheme of things, I think there is a lot more hope for intelligence (as defined as "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills")to become a broader term, equally useful as high intelligence for world progression, as his rant and rants of their nature imply. Like in action RPG like Fallout: you allocate attribute points to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L (being strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck.) there are many ways to achieve a balanced and effective build outside of 'min-maxing' where reduced intelligence doesn't mean reduced goodness, efficacy etc. Yes too, to the last part of your comment but IRL I very rarely come across much of that outrage fodder. I think there's something to be said for the fact that in the past, the amount opinions one may be subject to alone was way lesser than it is online.

Yep, typical edgelord style.

By his definition of rape, he has been raped many times. He is a self described demented psychopathic narcissist himself, so, he defines himself and things in a way that negates his contributions. I see someone desperately flapping his mouth for book sales.

I disagree with the idea of stupidity being rape. It's a stupid idea.
As far as the subject matter, anyone intelligent who's been around more than 3-4 decades knows the population is dumber. No real focus in the article on causes and solutions. I don't think there are easy solutions, but if I felt compelled to write an article about it I would at least attempt to identify the causes and offer solutions.

Okay, no. You know what is rape? A plethora of internet ads. Ear rape. The Google Fi was actually... I felt violated.

Huh...fyi...I was referring to 'overall general rehabilitation' [not the drug kind] (one that was actually tailored for an individual, one that was guilty of having committed some serious crimes ) and 'cultivation' (of a sort) regarding those labeled as: terrorists, school shooters, and others similar but different variations on a theme of those, btw.
Anywho
Apologies If I misunderstood and.... just delved way out of bounds and out of touch there, . Ffs...Crap...

I've learned to open and close doors more quietly. Some people really are sensitive to noise. Also, the sound of a couple having sex is to be one of the most peculiar phenomena that a single person has to experience. The experience of being single and being stuck in the same premises as a sexually active couple is not a pleasant one. The worst is when you're not even sure who is there. I would rather know who is there than to hear loud repetitive slapping noises and not even know for sure who is there. That's why, at the ripe age of 43, I have come to believe that sex is for reproduction and the only pleasure sex affords is at the expense of other people's ears. I no longer believe it's a pleasure, maybe for the couple, but not for the isolated.

God...:picard.
@ B Lux. Ty, I'll take that post down. Beyond it possibly being one of the more private more personal things i've shared on these forums over the years beyond a photo or so, I think I jumped into the game half way in without knowing the score, in a manner of speaking...for fear mr. rgv might have been saddened by the lack of hope from that found in whatever he was responding to that i guess i was drawing from - and it just flew and started flowing from there. Idk, I got caught up in the heat of the moment, I suppose. Idk what I was thinking.
Has my big dumb stupidity has assaulted you? 
Forgive me, bruddha! 
@ Corey
Hnnn...I guess that might be unpleasant, sometimes. Depending....
Have you opened a dialogue with them about your concerns? Generally a simple but efficient way to approach some issue with other people. At least to start. If you had a partner with you and they were the same, would you still be uncomfortable with your neighbors doing the beast with two backs? They are just human, afterall, you know?
Sound cancelling earplugs + some white noise and or ambient music to help muffle things, investing in thickening the walls of your place with special padding, etc, might be a decent temporary solution to look into.
I was once with someone who would get very loud during intercourse, and, lol, I was the one who was like, yo, should we ughh, consider the neighbors? I never got an answer at the time and we usually forget about it afterwards. (i'm not with ^ ol' yell-her or anyone else, not atm, and i love it)
So unless someone approached us at that time...how would we each know for certain our actions were potentially...not harming? But maybe kinda encroaching upon another's ability to concentrate, focus, or their privacy? Now, that? I would respect someone who came and talked to us if still living in the above scenario, had that been the case, or, any other good reason for that matter unless it meant something dire to my own relationship for accommodating your request.
Who knows if you'd reciprocate if the situation were flipped?
Regardless, there's sometimes some way to adjust things so that a mutually beneficial arrangement can be had. But it wont happen if no one communicates.
Might help. Doubt it will hurt (not too badly anyways) If not, earplug it up and white noise or some music w/e.
