Ephesians 6:12:

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

What did Forrest have to say about that?.

Stupidity is not synonymous with insanity. Not all liberals are stupid. But all liberals are insane. They've gotten around that fact by a)hijacking the psychiatric profession and b) redefining the parameters of insanity.

Homosexuality/sodomy is an abomination. The very terms are indicative of that fact. So, they got around the stigma by redefining it as "gay."

Adultery is an abomination. So, they got around it by renaming it "an affair."

See how they are? Insanity. Not necessarily stupidity.

Milgram’s obedience experiments were debunked by researchers and his own assistant.

There were threats and coercion, many subjects knew it was a setup (there was a direct correlation between "voltage" given and whether or not the subject was aware), most did not comply, and Milgram hid the data relating to tests where if just one other person alongside the subject said they disagreed, the subject almost all the time stopped.

What if stupidity isn’t about intelligence at all, but about surrendering the will to think?

In a nutshell.

It is a very timely concept to address. Problem is you are about to get a whole lot of replies from those who do not own a mirror... And even if they own a mirror they will refuse to honestly admit what they see.

Powerful and thought-provoking in itself

While watching this, I was constantly reminded of how otherwise intelligent, well-meaning people were taken in by the myriad fictions — lies, actually — promoted by "medical experts" during the Fauci Flu debacle; specifically, the outright lies that masks, "social distancing" and dangerous RNA vaccines were effective in controlling the spread of a respiratory virus. I have no doubt that when the pseudo "medical experts" at the CDC, WHO, et al. who practice political science in contrast to medical science dream up Fauci Flu II, that millions upon hundreds of millions of these intelligent, well-meaning people will go right back to believing, living and spreading the lies promoted by oh-so-many "experts".

Many overlook the high probability of demon possession. It is good to know there are others who consider this possibility.

Interesting...
I teach music and it is amazing, the ends students will go to, rather than do the correct things. Rather than diligently study music, practice their lessons and do scales, time-tested tools for advancement, they spend time on the internet WATCHING other people play, joining discussion groups arguing about musicians, and yearning for expensive instruments. Jamming! I know of no successful musicians that ever made it without jamming, but no one wants to jam, anymore.
Then, they come to class and ask incredibly stupid questions on topics way above their abilities to eat up class time.
Recipes for failure... If I were rich instead of famous, I would tell these losers to take a hike! :/

I had the great fortune of hearing a testimony by two returned hostages last night, Sapir Cohen and Sasha Troufanov. It was stunning that the brutality and horror they faced were not very different from the Holocaust. I have had friends who were Holocaust survivors, and the story was so evidently similar from the standpoint of how ‘intelligent’ people can perpetrate such evil. The Nazis felt extremely justified in their treatment of Jews because of their religious belief that they were the ‘Master’ Race, given to them by God, and mandated to destroy the ‘evil’ they deemed Jews to be. The Arabs have no less fervor and justification for their barbarity against Jews, but have replaced the Christian concept of God with their own concept (Allah), and are justified in their minds. Both Hostages said that their captors constantly told them that Allah had told them to do these things and that they would be rewarded in the Muslim world to come by 72 virgins, rivers of alcohol, great mansions and fields, etc. In other words, they justified their arguments with arguments that were not arguable in normal discussions. Bonhoeffer’s revelations are truly scary, but a good analysis.

What happened to all the baby booming hippies who celebrated nonconformity?

“Protest against the rising tide of conformity.” That was a gin ad IIRC they seized. A pouting Joan Baez and Bob Dylan posed beside the poster.

Herd mentality: the uneasiness of being alone or worse, being humiliated and shunned, drives many people to override the protests of their common sense.
