Christopher Langan's Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe

[whitecoast]

I don't know, is Langan really that smart? He's got this ethnic European superiority thing going on that seems pretty pompous, even racist. Maybe it's a reaction against anti-white sentiment in America, sure, but this just seems over the top to me, emotional thinking run amok.

There’s definitely a lot of projections coming from Langan here. Yes, Europeans do receive a lot of unjustified criticism, but Langan is doing this with the Chinese and Africans in the above also, irrespective of any slivers of fact. Odds are people receptive to his true and good ideas might be turned off by this poor behaviour, so in a way he’s arguing against himself and the potential good he may bring to others.

That man needs to find better people to follow and conversations to engage in on X. If you wouldn’t say something like that to someone sitting across from you, you probably shouldn’t be saying it across a keyboard either.

It reminds of the distinction between gurus and mentors, and that we should never put people on pedestals.

Oh no. Not racism. Langan is cancelled!

Langan was punching back at an anti-white Twitter account that was gloating about nature healing by reducing the white population. But of course, white men aren't allowed to dish it out, right? They're expected to take the abuse, indefinitely, because racism bad (but only white people are held to this standard, one somehow never finds Indians or Chinese clutching their pearls about other Indians or Chinese being racist).

Well, I can't help but wonder what all these leftists who are so down on the 'Patriarchy' would do if they somehow discover that Jesus was Julius Ceasar. For example, if some liberal university announced it, (it's a thought experiment). Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth?

I have noticed that Indians, Chinese, and other Eastern peoples tend to do things or not based on their culture perhaps more so than Westerners.

I just found this recent interview with Langan and only now realized that it is the same guy this thread is about. Apparently, at least IQ wise, he is more or less the smartest man alive and in recorded history (with an IQ between about 190 and 210):

Are we assuming that the "they" who wants to create "soul smashing" are 4D STS or similar? If so, what do they achieve for themselves through this "soul smashing"? And then there's the question of whether or not this is part of a "natural" cycle and if there is, from a big picture pov, a need for certain souls to be "smashed" to contribute to the primal matter of the 'redo'.

Everyone wants to play in the sandbox but no one wants to be the sand.
