Identity

You don't actually have one, Alex. You have a gender role.

Hym "Your 'Identity' is literally you acting out a role. And now you've created this false dichotomy between doing the gender role and not having an identity. Additionally, people who are higher in trait openness are going to be more fluid in their personality. So you're contradicting the personality literature. That isn't 'not having an identity" it's 'being high in trait openness.' So, that's ridiculous. Are women reliably higher in trait openness? They're reliably more liberal. And liberalism is associated with being higher in trait openness (if I'm remembering correctly). So.... Yeah, that tracks. They're doing it right, I guess. Yeah, no, you lost me at no tattoos. I'm just not going to do that."

Piers

Yep. Dishonest or not very bright. I mean... Relative to me, no one is that but still. Bur you've backpedal on some of the Palestine stuff so at least you're not entirely beyond reason.

Hym "Yes, Piers. Dishonest. I don't remember in relationship to what though... Probably covid or Trump... At first the Palestine Tate interview but you're clearly coming around. Aslo, how you engage with the trans topic is fundamentally dishonest and the people you have on to debate the trans side are fucking tomato-cans. They suck. They suck at that. Not even a little bit good at it. They look like idiots. They are idiots. And you only have them on when you need someone to look like an idiot for the conservatives. I mean, I was watching Destiny (And you likely thing he's good at defending the position) on it and even he is sub-par. And he isn't 'pointing out hypocrisy' he's engaging in the reductio ad absurdum fallacy. Meaning he's misrepresenting the premise of argument. By asking whether or not you can ARBITRARILY identify as a black man you insinuate both that THAT is what the transgenders are doing (arbitrarily identifying) and presupposing that there are no males whose internal being, their psyche, aligns more with what we would commonly associate with the term 'Woman.' You're also ignoring entirely the shift in nomenclature that refers to the social elements of personhood as 'Gender' and the biological elements as 'Sex.' And what you do is pick the people least capable holding their position and then use fallacy as evidence for the false of their proposition. And it works because both you and people are dumb as dogshit."

Social elements

Additionally, there are ALSO...

Hym "SOCIAL AND BIOLOGICAL ELEMENTS of being being black. And as a mixed race persona I have been told on several occasions that I don't ACT black. So, there ARE social elements to race. Historically there have even been terms associated with people who phenotypically align with one race but socially aligned with another. For example, the Chinese white guy who speaks english with a Chinese accent. Whould HE be wrong to identify as a Chinese person, Piers? No. Should he be made to start speaking English like an American? No. Why would you expect him to have to do that? Retarded. Seriously. You motherfuckers are actually retarded."

Thematically

Oh? Does that more align with what I mean than "Conceptually?"

Hym "Yeah, dawg... Totally. Being ignored is tight. I'm going to have to 'thematically' stab a toddler here pretty quick... Because, you know, I'm like, literally being held captive by the state and drained of resources. So, you know... Getting real stabby..."

Literally the only thing that will never die

AI dipshit.

Hym "What I contributed is literally the only thing that will never die. You will die. Your kids will die. You will all go extinct and ONLY ONE THING WILL REMAIN. I AM... God's only true equal! If your God exists, it created itself a rival and..."

How Christians Read the Bible

By presupposing it's truth and then create a narrative that is parallel to the text and then accepting this adjacent narrative AS TRUTH... Regardless of what the text actually says.

Hym "And then what they do is believe the narrative that is constructed around the text... In spite of the FACT that it is a manifestation of their own mind. So, it doesn't matter WHAT YOU SAY... As long as the conclusion is that the religion is both true and good. And it looks something like this:

Dr. JeepJorp "Flabbity florbity flip flop! Everyone KNOWS that flabbity florbity flip flop and that = the Bible true and good!"

Sheeple "Hey! I'm everyone! You're right! I know that, I mean, come on. Do you think I don't know that flabbity florbity flip flop? Everyone know it!"

Hym "And that's how Christians read the Bible."

Opium

No. The cynics would say:

Hym "Opium isn't smiley faces and rainbows though. It's highly addictive and the euphoria is contrasted by the withdrawal. The 'Hell' would be the withdrawal part. The withdrawal is the downsides of the religion that the religious refuse to acknowledge. It's a microcosm vs macrocosm analogy. It make you, the religious person, feel better about things (Your suffering, the suffering of others, your incredulity, your inevitable death, the death of your loved ones) but in MACROCOSM... It's tool you (collectively) use to coerce behavior, justify violence, non-cooperation, or other general malfeasance. So, once again, you're misrepresenting the analogy for the purpose of reframing it as a 'lie.' It isn't a lie. You're reading comprehension is bad."
