Stupidity Poll
Ladies & Gentlemen, it is that time again where aidsbonnet requests your help in determining who the most idiotic individuals in LJ philosophy are. The competition is fierce this time, featuring everything from the drug-addled ramblings of 20-somethings to the Nietzschean pretentions of 30-yo heavy metal-listening libertarians!
As usual, the winner gets banned from philosophy and (a fortiori now) from real_philosophy. Here are the contestants:
jonamo_cat: if it isnt obvious, then i will explain, the brain does its thing, cynapses firing etc. some at the same time and some not, depending on whats going on arround us we build up a more and more detailed picture of the world as we identify more and more phenomona and asign them an "algorithym" for want of a better word, in the brain, an algorythm bassed on previously detected signals or phenomona that occur simultaneously or perhaps at regular intervals after an event. and so the number of connections in our brain increase. Link
meus_ovatio: And this is why we have things like astrology, religion, and philosophy ... To give women an answer... any fucking answer to shut them up for two-minutes.. Link
edcalamia: Now where does the paranoid tendency in philosophy begin? where does it end? who knows. If we were to trace it to individual thinkers I would place its genesis in the PythagoParamenidPlatonic coupling. Link
tosk: Could the 'effects' that practitioners 'see' afterward be more related to the manipulation of their own mind? This seems to fit well with many statements from Alister Crowley, Israel Regardie, Antero Alli, Phil Hine, Peter Carroll and many other people that practice what is commonly called 'magic'. Link
igferatu: I'm saying that Canada seemed to do alright without severing ties to a Monarchy. Link
zhai: Philosophy is only useful insofar as it can generate better AI. Link
danceofmasks: Chimpanzees kill other chimpanzees.
Dolphins kill baby dolphins.
Lions .. well, I'm not even going to start on lions.
Are those species' behaviour patterns genetic or cultural?
Is it worth looking into the behaviour of similar species that do not exhibit murderous tendencies, such as the Bonobo? Link
This time we are featuring a Very Special Bonus Contest between ragnarok20 and vap0rtranz. Since they’re both already banned from both communities for abject, overpowering stupidity, the winner of this one doesn’t receive fortune, but he does receive fame and the title of So Stupid That The Light Of Distant Stars Bends Around Me. Here they are seen participating together in the same idiotic post:
ragnarok20: The difference is that not everyone is a doctor simply by virtue of living. We all have philosophies simply because of the act of living. Link
vap0rtranz: Actually Lane, Andrew had to (pretend to) not understand what I asked in order to confirm my illiteracy. Instead he used his question to verify that I had conveyed something understandable. Anosognosia used his question to say that I had conveyed nothing understandable. Link
Finally, I would like to take this moment to announce that the aidsbonnet Faculty has decided to bestow a very special honor on a long-time LJ philosophy member. The honored individual is not only an extremely stupid person who actually came close to winning the first Stupidity Context, but with his many years of participation on the communities, he is also the most consistently stupid person any of us has ever encountered in these parts. Taking all this into consideration, we’ve decided to give hollowman the exalted title of Old Growth Stupid, thus making him immune from any future stupidity polls (since cutting down Old Growth Stupid might have unforeseen ecological consequences) and making him our new Community Mascot. Congratulations hollowman!

The results are in! It was a tight race, but edcalamia won the Stupidity Contest. However, after engaging in public self-criticism on philosophy, Big Daddy apperception, Father Of The Community, has allowed him to stay and has banned jonamo_cat, the runner up, instead.
vap0rtranz won the second contest, thus making him So Stupid That The Light Of Distant Stars Bends Around Him. Congratulations, vap0rtranz!
Thanks to everyone who participated! See you next time!
