It's about an idea the author calls "The Tyranny of the Paradigm".>

This type of mumbo jumbo pretends they played
Bg5, when Be3 was actually better.

That there can be debate/discussion/choice.

When in reality:

They play Qc1, drop their queen for a mate in one, then tell you the great player they are.

<"The Tyranny of the Paradigm">

I would call it:

I'm not sure what exactly your problem is with the idea of some preconception keeping a person from seeing plain truth.>

It over complicates the simple.
It doesn't account for the fact they do see the <plain truth> and are simply liars. It doesn't account for the fact they are simply haters, bigots, liars, greedy, and power hungry.

<greedy, and power hungry> At least at the top.
Folks on Rogoff will embrace it for free.

If Obama believed in his solutions, he'd send his daughters into the ghetto to be illegitimate baby mamas.

The fact that he likes his millions, lives in rich white neighborhoods, send his daughters to rich white schools, shows me he likes my country. He just doesn't like the same for his "required" Democrat victims.

<Too bad politics isn't so cut and dried.>

It is, we simply don't stand for truth.
We give nothings stature.

<lies don't last for long>

The other issue is, when I correct your chess move I:

<MyPillow’s CEO, a Trump supporter, says Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s stopped selling his products>

<Lindell also told Fox 9 in Minnesota, where his company is based, that Wayfair and HEB also stopped selling MyPillow products because of social media pressure from “leftist groups.”>

<Lindell has repeated claims Trump did not lose the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden even after a riot at the U.S. Capitol left five people dead and more than 50 police officers injured.>

SLM

<This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.>

Sometimes, but maybe not all the time.

Take your chess example as an example once more. Many times we see the right move (the truth) and play a different move. Then we say, "Oh! I saw that too! Why didn't I play that!" and perhaps it's because of blind spots induced by schematic thinking.

I guess an example could be that your paradigm is that bishops are better than knights, so you allow yourself to gloss over a bishop takes knight move, because your intuition failed you.

Something like that.

Bring this back around to the libs, it comes down to this question:

Are the libs evil or are they merely ignorant?

I have long maintained that liberals are characterized by three primary attributes:

Take your chess example as an example once more. Many times we see the right move (the truth) and play a different move. Then we say, "Oh! I saw that too! Why didn't I play that!" and perhaps it's because of blind spots induced by schematic thinking.>

That's still pretending a good move is of interest.

They do this: <play Qc1, drop their queen for a mate in one>

1. Wickedness
2. Gross ignorance
3. Arrogance>

Libs always accuse the right of what libs actually are:

<Rev. Al Sharpton calls Trump:

‘Wickedness in high places’>

"1. Wickedness
2. Gross ignorance
3. Arrogance"

I don't see "hate." I believe "hate" is what drives those, and probably 50% or more, of what liberalism is. Liberalism requires hate because it has no positive results.
(or any logical/rational reason to embrace it)

<OhioChessFan:
I meant to add brainwashed.
jiffy 20>

<Insanity?
jiffy 30>

I actually find lil jiff one of the more refreshing cockroaches. He knows what he is, what he'd need to support, gives up, and hides behind gibberish.

There is something absurd about the others who, like the knight in the Monty Python movie, have their arms/legs cutoff, then tell you how they will kick your butt.

...or Abdel, who tells you he, "will put no one on ignore" then does it 5 seconds later.

When someone goes out and murders 40 people by gunning them down in a movie theater, the libs say the guy must be insane, but that's not true. The guy must be evil.

Let us not synonymize evil with insanity. Do not read from the liberal dictionary.

The libs are not insane and they do not suffer a mental illness. You have to understand that a person suffering from mental illness <is not guilty> of any wrongdoing or wrong thinking. They are a victim of an illness.

Liberals are not victims of an illness They are wicked, ignorant and arrogant, and they are fully responsible.

Hate is not a root cause. It is caused by something else.

Hate isn't always a bad thing. God hates the wicked (Psalm 11:5).

The problem is when the wicked hate the righteous.

What causes someone to hate the good, the righteous, and the just? Evil causes it. Pride causes it.

<Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. (Psalm 139:19–22)>

That is David writing in Psalms.

In grad school, I wasn't much interested in astrophysics or cosmology. The closest I got to studying any of it was a general relativity class I took.
