Re: Triggers, scripts, and bots

Interesting how you use political correctness as a measurement of intelligence.

But botting is playing the game, just that instead of being the peasant who does all the hard work, you are the king and puppeteer who oversees his loyal subjects. The peasants obviously don't like that.

It's only natural for an intelligent person to use a spear or a bow rather than his fists, the low brow cave inhabitant may scream 'cheater!' and demand that his fellow caveman stops his atrocious act and breaks his spear, but when faced with technological evolution you either join or go the way of the dodo. There is always the option for the socially capable to stir up trouble and have the cheater taken care off, (since it's a pain in the ass to learn to properly craft and shoot a bow), but that doesn't give them the moral high ground and goes to show that democracy is but a dictatorship of the majority.

I'd educate you about the various correlates of IQ, but I can understand that the hard reality of the limitations that low intelligence places on the bulk of earth's population can be a very bitter pill for the devoted socialist, liberal, and egalitarian.

I don't see why. You can't correctly assess someone's generic capabilities based on their caste, race, or sex. You do this by measuring one's physical and mental fitness.

Hardcore egalitarianism often expresses itself as the belief that physical and (primarily) mental fitness cannot be measured, or the belief that these are all biological rather than genetic variables, and that hence it should be strictly forbidden to discriminate, generalize, or criticize the grand egalitarian theory. You're entitled to your totalitarian beliefs of course.
