Why were French kids so into Maoism during the 60s?
182 posts and 18 images submitted.

Because Marxism in general was in and Marxist-Leninism-Maoism is one of the cooler marxist leninism branches.
>>
50's and 60's brought anti-colonialism into minds of young Western students, and Maoism was basically a blueprint for third world nations to overthrow their colonial masters

Are you an independent thinker? Be honest.

Sometimes I find myself pondering things completely on my own that philosophers have fleshed out in a similar way that I never read, and many other times I simply find myself parroting stuff that makes sense to me without much deeper examination.

What is independent thought? Does it actually exist? Discuss.

I agree with Plato that our understanding of the world is imperfect. However the information at my disposal I generally take what's logical to me and role with it. I've changed my mind many times and know I will continue to throughout life but feel I'm generally an independent thinker.
>>
It depends on the level of introspection and self-honesty.

Actually most people are ideological and they reject anything that contradicts their worldview.
>>
I think independent thought is psychologically impossible, we are not orangutangs, we are a very social species

Consider things like ingroup vs outgroup, groupthink and so on and so on

Hey, so I'm writing a book and would like to do some research on cults for it, specifically modern-day cults (20th century). More specifically I'm looking for how cults are formed and what it's like to live in one. If the cult "blew up" and did some crazy shit, that's also a plus (Jonestown, Waco, etc.) I'm really just looking for jumping-off points to get my research started, but discussion would also be appreciated. How did these cults form? Could their violent acts be prevented? What's it like to live in one?

I mean, it still counts as violent acts. It's just unclear whose fault it is that those violent acts started.

if im not mistaken membership is generally handled like a retreat somewhere far out. they isolate you from society and your friends and keep you constantly occupied and busy with activities, these are to isolate you from alternate sources of input as well as deprive you of sleep. they will also likely feed you malnutritious foods and junk. this usually lasts like what, 72 hours? something about the sleep deprivation, isolation, and lack of nutrition is supposed to affect your ability to make judgement and heighten the impact any suggestive input might have on the victim

I'm making a thread for anyone wanting to discuss/try and answer the Epicurean Paradox..

>tl;dr
>if God is almighty and all powerful, then why is there evil?

My answer is that God created the temptation in this world towards evil to teach man. For if there were no evil temptation, therefore no free will, man would basically live in God's world without the proper knowledge to be able to exist in it.

Man has to experience the temptation and learn that it is merely an illusion in this existence, as it brings no true permanent happiness. Once man can learn to truly live and be at peace without the things of this world, and recognizes them as temporary moments of joy and not true happiness and fulfillment, he can live amongst God in his kingdom. You really thing God wants a bunch of apologetic miscreants running around his shit?

The Jews are the instigator of this temptation, hence their whole reason for existence. It's basically to teach us that the materials and things of this world are nothing, and mean nothing. That we shouldn't attach ourselves to things of this world. They tempt man with sin, such as credit with usury, then once the deal is made with the Jew, the Jew takes your soul in your labor, work, and assets. You can never be truly happy in this world chasing the things of this world, better known as being greedy.

By taking only what you need to live, and being of service to others, you can live amongst God. This also has the side benefit of the Jews seizing to exist, as they can no longer parasite off of other societies. For they have seen the wares they trade, the promises they make, and the ideals they push are nothing but moments of temporary joy, never leading to real happiness in this world.

You have to break the cycle and not give into the temptation of the Jew, but to see it for what it is, sin. Once you've done that, and can live without the things of this world, you've learned a major part of what this world has to teach.

Is the Myers-Briggs personality test accurate/highly useful in understanding your personality? Or is this just a shit meme? I am an INTP and all descriptions provided by what I have looked up tell me yes, but I would like your opinion and also your type if you have taken it before.

It's a quasi-scientific self-help pop-psychology meme.

I am an outsider, but you can easily find that the Big Five personality test is the only one considered valid.
In fact Myers-Briggs is considered pseudoscience.

But Myers-Briggs is still very popular amongst cooperations.
