Most un-PC Belief?

[Ideologue]

The rational utility-maximixing option would seem at first blush to be bisexuality.

For you maybe, but not for your parents. If you fall in love with a nice fellow and adopt an Asian child, their genes aren't getting passed on.

Utility is maximized by dying back the human species anyway.  Relax.

I think Ide is a pretty interesting movie reviewer.

Thanks.

My most un-pc belief.

PC is a lie we pretend to agree on just so other people can live their lie without starting an argument every time.

I think you're going backwards here. They were top dogs because certain policies such as individual liberties and the rule of law are more effective than the alternatives.

The jury is still out on that. The PRC has certainly been making huge strides in the past 30 years without adopting those policies. The Nazis and Soviets both were formidable war machines.

I can definitely see an "end of history" scenario where physical limitations have stifled the rate of technological progress and autocratic governments which are geared toward maintaining power outperform more free and innovative societies.

Utility to who? Unless you put the government in charge of choosing traits for the baby (which I'm sure you'd like to  ) the decision-making would be based on the perspective of the parents, where utility is maximized by other people not reproducing so their own offspring have more access to resources.

And that's why it all has to be subordinated to needs of the many, Professor Gattaca.

Anyway, I can see your point.

Mild gingerism.

That colonialism and imperialism was a net good for the world. Probably the best thing to happen Africa and large parts of Asia.

[garbon]

Nope.

Buddah's going to be pissed.

I think that most forms of variants sexuality should still be considered paraphilic disorders.  While I'm not suggesting that homosexuals should be persecuted or treated differently, I still think it fits the criteria of a paraphilic disorder at it is a variant behavior that causes difficulties for person both mentally and physically.  I also think that since homosexuality is something you are born with, parents will have a choice if their children will be homosexual or not in the future and it will become extremely uncommon.

How much of that is do to societal pressures / what society allows? I wonder if both of the items you list won't decline over time.

I find the term PC useless, really.
I guess my least PC opinion, if not belief, is that the war on drugs is a massive failure and counter-productive.

[Capetan Mihali]

Is this supposed to be most right-wing belief?  Most uncharitable belief?  Most idiosyncratic-in-a-bad-way belief?

[Grey Fox]

Deep down, I am against private enterprise.

Deep down, I am against private enterprise.

Not sure if that qualifies as PC.

When I was in graduate school I used to count up the number of white people in the class.  The more white people the larger the curve; and any class that was more than 25% white was a free A.  This is because white people are spoiled, lazy and stupid.
