This is what you agreed to
Oh ok so you claimed it was 14 to 34 meanwhile what you showed was for 15 to 24. I will apologise when you show what you said. Add to that also show that "The leading cause of death of young black men in the US is gun shot from another black man."

There is no systematic racism in the US in 2026

If you know of any state it
Only in 2026? When did systemic racism end in the US?

Read what you posted. Loans given between 1981 and 1996. How many yrs ago was that
Ok so you now agree there was systematic racism in the US or do you still disagree?

One thing at a time. I will show you but first you have to apologise and promise to stop being lazy and always do your research before opening your mouth.
You agreed to this remember
I already agreed to that. You are yet to prove your case, so do so and I will apologise.

So you cannot find evidence in 2026 you have to dig back to when you were 30 to 45yrs younger?

How desperate are you. You had to go back to a period when the Cold war was the biggest thing on the planet when USSR was the biggest threat in the world

Racism is not dead, but it is on life support—kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people with deep inferiority complex who try to get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.
Bwahahahahaha! 1999 is not even up to 30 years ago bro. LoLz.

BTW are you not the fellows claiming there is no systematic racism in the US? Are you recanting the claim?

It's a very long article but below is a snapshot from the article
OK I accept that homicide is the leading cause of death for black males age 15-24 in the US. Now show me where it says "The leading cause of death of young black men in the US is gun shot from another black man."

I know leftists are desperate to keep racism alive
Dig back to within my life time is too much? LoLz.

I have already given you one reputable site a very liberal sites and a snap shot from my search result.

I will provide the CDC link on one condition.
After you learn that the number 1 killer of young African American men in the US age 14 to 34 is homicide, you will apologize to me and promise here on nairaland never to be lazy again and that you will always carry out your research before typing.

Do you agree
I agree.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Worst White Better Than Best Black by LordReed(m): 5:16pm On May 14
tctrills:
At least do a proper research. I said the leading cause of death among young black males.
Here is the stats from the CDC.
For Black males aged 15–34, firearm homicide rates are significantly higher than any other cause of death, including accidental injuries or health-related issues like heart disease.

Moral of the story, study before coming out to say what you don't know.

And you are welcome
Click the link to the data from CDC and post it here.

This boy.
You could hate the whites for all you want but the truth remains. The leading cause of death of young black men in the US is gun shot from another black man. That is the culture of wild beasts.

When we ask blacks begin to tell ourselves the truth that's when we will begin to make changes.

Let's look at abortions.
A black baby is 4 times more likely to be killed by his own mother in the womb than a white child.

This is the culture of murder. It's an evil culture.
And it can't be blamed on the whites. Blacks did this to themselves
This is what I am talking about with misinformation campaign. You've been brainwashed into thinking that "The leading cause of death of young black men in the US is gun shot from another black man." If I asked you to produce the data that supports this now you will start chewing mouth.

Meanwhile, here is data from 2021. Homicides are the SIXTH leading cause of death in black men.

baconline:
The Nigerian used car market prices is going down due to low patronage. Cars that average cost 4.5m now sell for less than 4m, no one is still buying. Its sad, the economy has really taken a heavy hit, Nigerians are on survival mode and have no money to buy cars.
Where is this place that the price of cars is going down abeg tell me.

TokoEkambi:
I read about it. I poi Ted it out because someone stated something in the line that he considered the UFO phenomenon bs because they always report humanoid aliens. I chipped this in to let him know it's not the case.
Then you must have a specific case since you read about it. Show me the one you read.

Trained military personnel observed the scene. They reported what they saw despite the threat to their jobs. The senior Brotish foreign affairs guy that was aware of it and took it upon himself to research deeper into the phenomenon. People don't throw their jobs in the bin for the tooth fairy.
Did any of them report seeing an alien?

TokoEkambi:
I didn't read about the Rendlesham incident, I saw a documentary on it on Discovery Channel. One of the junior officers that were part of the forward group that actually saw those beings was interviewed. A senior officer in the British foreign service at that time was one of those interviewed. And also all the efforts at dispelling the story as done by the military authorities and the government were all part of the documentary (including a procedure to try wipe out that particular incident from the memory of the junior ranks involved). I'll look for that documentary if it's online.
What part of the documentary was compelling enough for you to think there were really aliens in the encounter.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pastors, This Is What A Demon Looks Like (pic) by LordReed(m): 5:57pm On May 12
TokoEkambi:
They were reported by some that said they were abducted. If you try searching via Google you may see some material. One should be able to pick holes in made up stories there, but there may be some truth to some of them.
I thought you already had a source for this.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pastors, This Is What A Demon Looks Like (pic) by LordReed(m): 7:50am On May 12
TokoEkambi:
That write-up is part of what I call hilarious cover-up stories by the authorities. Great things can be achieved when money and threats are involved. By the way, have you read or heard about the Rendlesham Forest incident? There was a documentary on it on Discovery Channel sone years back. The evidence was so compelling, and the official scampering to cover it up was the usual response of authorities worldwide.
How is it a hilarious coverup if one of the CHILDREN recanted and said he was the source of the phenomenon by reason of a prank. You don't think children are highly suggestable and easily manipulated by even their own fellows? Do you understand the nature of peer pressure and influence?

Are you telling me ALL the governments of the entire globe are interested in covering up alien presence and not a single one thinks that information will be beneficial to them if they used it to their advantage? That there has been NO substantial leaks of this coverup despite the apparent scope of it?

I read a summary of the Rendlesham Forest incident and could find nothing compelling about it. Perhaps you can elaborate on what you found compelling.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pastors, This Is What A Demon Looks Like (pic) by LordReed(m): 7:42am On May 12
TokoEkambi:
No. The Zimbawean incident was more of greys. I just referred to the mantis type in response to someone saying encounters were always with humanoid aliens.
I would like a link to a mantis type encounter.

Here -
https://www.nairaland.com/8532287/rambling-talk-deepsight

Budaatum was involved.

As an aside, I first tried to use Gemini to find this and here's what it said about us - I thought that interesting!

The debate you’re looking for likely occurred within a broader discussion on materialism, atheism, or the nature of the soul, which are frequent topics for LordReed (who typically holds a materialist/atheist perspective) and Deepsight (who often argues from a deist/spiritualist position) on Nairaland.

While a single thread titled "Can a machine be conscious?" may not be the primary landing spot, their most extensive interactions on this specific subject usually appear in these high-traffic threads:

1. "The Argument From Consciousness"
In many threads within the Religion or Science/Technology sections, Deepsight often challenges the materialist view by arguing that consciousness is non-material and therefore cannot be "assembled" via hardware. LordReed typically counters that consciousness is an emergent property of biological "wetware," implying that sufficiently complex artificial hardware could theoretically achieve the same.

2. "The Hard Problem Of Consciousness"
This is a recurring theme where the two users have traded long-form arguments. Deepsight often uses the "Chinese Room" type of logic to argue that a machine only simulates understanding, whereas LordReed focuses on the lack of evidence for any "extra-physical" component to the human mind.

The debates between Deepsight and LordReed on Nairaland represent one of the forum's most enduring intellectual rivalries, often serving as a "Clash of the Titans" between two distinct philosophical worldviews: Deism/Rationalism and Atheism/Materialism.
Here is a comparison of their debating styles, philosophical foundations, and the "intellectual signatures" they bring to the platform.
________________________________________
1. Philosophical Foundations

Worldview
Deepsight: Deist / Transcendentalist. Believes in a necessary "First Cause" or "Infinite Intelligence."
LordReed: Atheist / Materialist. Maintains that the physical universe is all there is, governed by natural laws.

Consciousness
Deepsight: Argues it is non-material and cannot be reduced to biological or mechanical parts.
LordReed: Argues it is an emergent property of biological processes (the "wetware" of the brain).

Logic Source
Deepsight: Relies heavily on Metaphysics and abstract reasoning (e.g., the Law of Cause and Effect).
LordReed: Relies on Empiricism and the Scientific Method; if it can't be measured, it’s speculative.
________________________________________
2. Debating Style and Rhetoric
Deepsight: The Classical Orator

• Tone: Highly formal, often poetic, and occasionally aggressive in a "high-brow" manner. He uses expansive vocabulary and long-form essays.
•
• Tactics: He prefers Socratic questioning and building "logical traps" based on definitions. He often accuses his opponents of "intellectual dishonesty" if they don't follow his deductive leaps.
•
• The "Vibe": Intellectualist and philosophical. He views the universe as a grand, purposeful design that can be understood through pure thought.

LordReed: The Pragmatic Skeptic
• Tone: Concise, dry, and clinical. He often uses short, "pithy" responses to dismantle complex arguments.

• Tactics: He focuses on the Burden of Proof. He rarely makes positive claims about the unknown, instead asking his opponent to provide verifiable evidence for theirs. He is famous for the "Where is the evidence?" pivot.

• The "Vibe": Grounded and skeptical. He views the universe as a series of observable phenomena that require no supernatural explanation.
________________________________________
3. Key Points of Friction

The "spark" in their debates usually occurs at these three junctions:

• The "Origin" Problem: Deepsight argues that "something cannot come from nothing," necessitating a Creator. LordReed typically counters that we simply "don't know" yet, and "I don't know" is a more honest answer than "God did it."
•
• The Nature of Intelligence: Deepsight views human intelligence as a "spark" of the divine or the infinite. LordReed views it as a survival adaptation—highly complex, but ultimately mechanical.
•
• Objective vs. Subjective Morality: Deepsight often looks for an objective moral anchor; LordReed argues that morality is a social construct evolved for tribal cohesion.
________________________________________
4. Summary of the Rivalry

In the Nairaland ecosystem, Deepsight acts as the "Philosopher-King," defending the idea that there is more to life than meets the eye through rigorous (though often abstract) logic. LordReed acts as the "Chief Inquisitor" of the religious and spiritual, using the razor of Occam’s Law to trim away any claims that aren't backed by data. While they rarely—if ever—reach a consensus, their debates are highly regarded for their civility (relative to the rest of the forum) and the depth of the subject matter.

LoLz! Not a bad summary. I especially like this part: Relies on Empiricism and the Scientific Method; if it can't be measured, it’s speculative. Some people think when I say "can't be measured" it means I am saying it doesn't exist.

Ok so like I pointed out in the referenced thread, there are going to be similar characteristics with biological life but there will be other characteristics which builogical life may or may not that artificial life may not or may have, we can only speculate right now.

DeepSight:
I still struggle. In what sense will it be living. Is it merely by self replication?

If that is the case would you say that a self replicating nanobot must be a living thing.
I thought we had a discussion where I numerated some of what we would class as the characteristics of artificial life. Lemme see if I can find it.
Science/Technology › Re: LordReed - Revisiting The Simulation Of Reality by LordReed(m): 11:14am On May 11
DeepSight:
What exactly would that mean. I mean, can life be artificial? What would artificial life be like? A copy of living things? Fake life? Exactly what?
A life whose origins are not natural i.e. created life.
Science/Technology › Re: LordReed - Revisiting The Simulation Of Reality by LordReed(m): 9:14am On May 11
DeepSight:
As a sign of being a living thing?
It's a sign it could become artificial life.
Science/Technology › Re: LordReed - Revisiting The Simulation Of Reality by LordReed(m): 7:51am On May 11
DeepSight:
Am I right that your thinking is if this can suggest machine or computer or software consciousness?
No, self replication.
