in public debates of political issue, it's not really about reason. But, wits and personality. Charisma, in short.

For Trump, he wins by this. If you wanna play smear and word bending, Trump dives right into the heart of matter, and smear you. Calling you an idiot right out and made it funny.

For Peterson, he is very careful and articulate and precise with his words. He is aware of the game, but he doesn't play it. He win, by carefully answer your attacks, also gets his argument across.

You see, in public debates of political issue, it's not really about reason. But, wits and personality.

For Trump, he wins by this. If you wanna play smear, Trump dives right into the heart of matter, and smear you. Childishly or not, he won.

For Peterson, he is very careful and articulate and precise with his words. He win, but also gets his argument across, with reason.

this video is spectacular.
basically, it's Jordan Peterson vs Cathy Newman, a very bright, news reportor in UK.

it's long, 30 minutes, starts slow.
She tried to cast Peterson as women hater or madman, but failed.

thinking of starting a subreddit of plainjs. #javascript/DOM tips/tricks/news without any lib.

the real question is, which programing language where
(a ==1 && a== 2 && a==3) eval to true
is impossible?
(variable name hacking with unicode doesn't count )
#haskell #coq #mathematica #reasonml #elm #purescript

girls gossip show eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utx1UMAM4zU
such's followed by millions of young girls.
It's incredibly fascinating to watch, yet, painful.
Fascinating cuz they've particular mannerism, language, subject matter.
Painful cuz they are brainless and shallow.

What is the difference between emoji, emoticon, pictograph?
http://xahlee.info/comp/emoji_emoticon_pictograph.html

this pic, epitomizes the heart of reproduction of human animals.
It is also the source, of the incredibly varied and decorated attires of the female sex.
Though, it's possible today for humanity to continue sans this, by the means of The Matrix.

been posting to my reddit r/Xah.

If u reddit n find convenient, vote up. If i don't see much follower, i'll stop.
Since i have blogs on #emacs, #javascript, programing, etc, do let me know what you want to see, so i shape up to that.

The video is hot. Of the dancing dual theme. Spanish culture is hot. It contributed the success of the song. Given a hot song, your job, is to create a music video. It takes imagination and direction, and may make/break the song. It's directed by Dave Meyers.

Havana (Spanish la Habana), is capital of cuba.
Here's the map

Note the singer, Camila Cabello , is just 20. She dazzled in the music video as well performing live on tv shows. Girls, they mature young. Know how to deal with people, to their interests.

(this is in contrast to boys, who remain idiotic till after 30. (and, this is evolutionary biologically induced, because, girls cease reproduction early, dazzle is the word, after they beget children, life's biological goal is met, while men not.))

Hot, raw. The story of Courtship of the human animals.

without starting research, we naively begin to think that, dramatic gossip is the MOST frequent nature of human chat that is also the most ephemeral+shallow+false. To narrow down, we can try to look at all online chat from 1990 of programers. wow, this'd be good data mining thesis project.

when you think about the landscape of human chat, e.g. programer forum online, i think that certain subject, word, that is most frequently talked about and yet most shallow. Kinda like drama gossip in other subjects. It'd be interesting to characterize this scientifically.

actually i don't hate #haskell, i just despise the hacker fad. 'was unix philosophy 90s, perl, java/oop 95, lisp 2000s, xml/XP/patterns/defensive programing, ruby (~2007), agile 2010, etc.

its funny that many of these ideas, at the time many programers will actually attack you (call you a troll) if you think otherwise, but after a decade, you mention it, nobody actually KNEW what you talking about. Good example is all the slogan/ideas said about perl, xml, lisp.
