Its even worse when you just start ignoring all the useless pictures. Its just those two green squares with lists in them at the top right and left, with both of them having half of their lists as youtube videos, anther green square on the lift in the middle, and a chart on the middle right from heritage

Then you start looking at the names of the books in these lists and it becomes pretty apparent that this is just another sad conservative info gish gallop all dolled up

You are using vague words as the core point of your argument. So semantics is what helps make sense of what you are trying to say. If you were clear from the beginning we wouldn't need it, but you aren't, and you aren't fooling anyone by trying to dodge this.

We'll go with lexical definitions.
Belief:
1: a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing
2: something believed; especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group
3: conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence

Idea:
1: a thought, plan, or suggestion about what to do
2: an opinion or belief
3: something that you imagine or picture in your mind
4: a formulated thought or opinion
5: whatever is known or supposed about something <a child's idea of time>
6: the central meaning or chief end of a particular action or situation

It's pretty clear that the two words are very close to one another if not synonymous. Belief's 3 definitions are synonymous with Idea's 5th definition, and Idea's second definition states that an Idea is an opinion or belief.

So let's look at your argument after looking at these definitions and not the one's you refuse to give.

>those "beliefs" you claim to have are really ideas that you use to quell your actual beliefs.

Could be read as

>those "beliefs" you claim to have are really beliefs that you use to quell your actual beliefs.
Why? The definitions from above state that ideas are opinions or beliefs.

I literally cannot tell where you see the difference between beliefs and ideas because you wont say how you got there. For fucks sake, answer me this.

Why are these "ideas" from philosophy not beliefs?

>lel nope check again you did it to other people
No I didn't
Go ahead and point it out
>lel

You're from reddit aren't you?

>this was the point i answered, referring to multiple people and so, not just the one retarded example of yours.

What are you even saying here. Yes there are multiple people in that entire thread who had a conversation about 4chan and it's possible image problems regarding game of thrones. I was picking out the first one who brought up that point, and then going with his example.

This is completely normal. Why would I not do that?

You are really not fooling anyone at this point.

Anime*, the singular is the same as the plural.

And, since when have the average anime fans spent their time being curious about alt lit and what exactly they are about?

Yes you can be.

You can socialize some business but not others, whats called a mixed economy.

You honestly arent denying the existence of mixed economies, are you?

I don't think you understand this site. If this wasn't the main attraction, why are there still so many boards and subboards dedicated just to that? If they were unpopular they would be gone

I mean look, 22 of the 64 boards are either directly dedicated to anime or are closely related to anime and have frequent anime related threads, like /v/ and /b/. Most of the popular boards are within those 22.

And I know you might say, 22 isnt the majority of 64, but no single other topic has that much attention to it on this image board. Video games and 4chan itself dont even have that many boards dedicated to the subjects

Actually no. Flat out no. The bar he does get drinks at is infamous for letting anyone drink. Its dark, and Holden himself says thats why he likes it, even a 12 year old can get a drink there.

Read when the girls are with him. The constantly make jokes about "hey what is your father doing tonight, does he have a date?" which obviously means, kid, what the fuck are doing trying to pick us up?

All right ill bite, nature vs nurture, consider the following.

Within the context of world history, river valleys, pack animals, easy to plant grains, and trade with civilizations that also had the above, allow for "developed" civilization. Africa and the Americas did not have this. This social factor, not a genetic factor, can account for why civilization appears in some places and not others.

With Ashkenazi Jews, which make up 80% of the "current Jewish population", they are predominately from Europe during and after the middle ages. Europe at this time saw banking or any career that dealt solely with money as an untouchable occupation, and was largely occupied by Ashkenazi Jews so they could make a living. This social factor, not genetic factor, can explain why Ashkenazi Jews have high intelligence: Careers run through the family, this was their only possible career, survival created a culture of intellect.

This isnt to say definitively that genetics has nothing to do with intelligence. It does, however, sufficiently show that
