 Literature › Social Media Challenges: A Proponent Of Natural Selection. by Thanos(op): 4:42am On Aug 27, 2021 |
When Charles Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection in his book, On the origin of species. It was a landmark moment in history. That singular book changed our understanding of not only human biology and evolution as a whole but also how the environment over the ages has fought to preserve itself from the meddling animals (of which we are included). Granted, that was not the key point of the book but, I consider myself well-read enough to postulate my theories and draw my conclusions. To summarize his theory, there are traits that various species possess that enable them to adapt and survive in their environment. These traits are passed down from generation to generation and, before long, a new species with these dominant traits is formed. Now you might wonder what is the point of this biology lecture. Well, my pen has been brimming with venom over the past couple of months while I was on a self-imposed hiatus. My shrink (which is me, in the mirror) warned that I was well on the path to becoming a bitter old man who whines about everything. I advised me to change my ways. Enjoy life, bask in the simplicity and silliness of it. And that is what I’ve been trying to do. Enjoy life and bask in its inherent silliness. At least until the #cratechallenge came along. So here I am, fully relapsed into vitriol writing mode, and I must admit, I kind of enjoy it. To the matter at hand, for those who are not familiar with what exactly the #cratechallenge is. It’s involves a person carefully navigating a stack of milk crates, trying to see if they can get across from one end to another without falling. A couple of you might have a puzzling look on your face. “Okay, so why are they doing that? What is the point?”. Well, join the queue. You are not the only one searching for answers. Surely, if we persevere and dig further, the truth must be out there! Where to even begin? Scrolling through my WhatsApp feed, I could not help but chuckle at a series of videos depicting various individuals at different stages of the challenge. Needless to say, no one completed it. The end of the videos were the best part for me. Watching these people crash spectacularly, their bodies twisted and juxtaposed in their choice of background brought a smile to my face. Play stupid games, win stupid rewards. On a more sombre note, this sheds a light on a bigger issue in the social media sphere. I am not about to go on a “social media bad” rant as that discourse would require years of research and is a topic that folks more qualified than I am have dissected in more ways than I can imagine and the views are still as polarizing than ever. But I can say this, if there’s anything social media has done, it is bringing stupidity to the forefront now more than ever. To what end is the crate challenge meant to achieve. I mean, you climb a bunch of crates, where you have a 98% chance of falling and sustaining injuries, some life-threatening. For what? It beats me honestly. I feel like the participants in these challenges are operating on a higher plane of thought, intelligence and consciousness I can only dream of attaining. There must be a derived satisfaction and sense of fulfillment that we prude humans that don’t seem to get what these challenges are all about are missing out on. Multiple challenges are bouncing around the corners of the social media world. Waiting for the perfect combination of chance and algorithm-powered feeds to push them to the front of the queue, where the ever-impressionable users can then participate in it for their daily dose of dopamine hit. From the #cratechallenge to the ‘silhouette challenge’, where one strips naked and dances to a once-beloved-now-desecrated song with only a red background preventing the complete display of nudity. Or is it the ‘Kiki challenge’ that involved participants jumping out of a moving car to do some excruciating to watch dance steps that look like a summoning ritual of 1800 Salem witches. A trip further down reveals more sinister ones like the tide pod challenge where people were eating detergents and filming themselves doing it. Detergent people! I mean, with all this happening before our very eyes, even an atheist at this point would find it hard to denounce the existence of demons. Like what in the world would make any sane, functional person consume detergents? With each passing day, it feels like we are living in a black mirror episode with another sick twist not far down the line. Unfortunately, the demographic most affected by these challenges are kids and young adults. With their brains still at a formative stage (if you are above 16 taking part in these challenges, you need to evaluate your life choices and avoid having kids for the time being); they are coerced into doing these challenges that encourage and result in self-harm. Maybe in search of a community that they can belong to, or just for the high derived from likes, hearts, reposts, and tweets. The reasons many do this might be a mystery. But I have a simple explanation. Humans, on average, are dumb. It is that simple. I can imagine an order of white knights coming to defend humans with a list of our achievements from both a technological and social-economic perspective, and I say to that, even a dead clock is right twice a day. Multiple that clock by 7 billion and you can see that the numbers are in our favor. The truth is, or my truth is, (since we are in the era of speaking your truths), we are on the upward curve in terms of how dumb and deadly these challenges are getting. It is only a matter of time before we get to the peak, where a challenge that would wipe out millions would come along. At that point, the major decision and policymakers would start running around in circles as they always do, looking for ways to mitigate the situation. It is just unfortunate that there is no cure for human stupidity. But anyhow, the natural selection process that has brought us this far has not failed us yet. In our shadow war with nature, mother earth would always protect itself. So at the end of the day, maybe the natural selection process that would solve Earth’s overpopulation process has already begun with social media being the vehicle for that change. My 2 cents? Sit back and enjoy another chapter in the never-ending play of life outlined in Darwin’s book? Survival of the fittest. Act 3, scene 1. https://revoluth./2021/08/27/social-media-challenges-a-proponent-of-natural-selection/ |

Make them book their first ticket home. After the performance in this tournament. I can imagine many of their parent nba teams would terminate these players contract. No heart, no nothing. Its one thing to be outplayed. But out rebounded and turning the ball over like its rec basketball is a cardinal sin that cannot be forgiven. |
| Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by Thanos(m): 7:14am On Jul 31, 2021 |
With all the acclaimed black man power, ordinary rebound we cannot even get. See this overpaid athletes cannot even make a corner 3. 7 minutes in to make 1 basket. I see why that yeye coach would never again get another nba job. |

Thank God I did not even waste anytime watching this pathetic excuse of a team. Make I go find my Slovenian Jersey against tomorrow. I mean this is pathetic in every sense of the word. They should not even make it to the knockout stages as they'll be embarrassed beyond their wildest dreams. Amateur fouls absurd turnovers. You've not made a basket in 4 possessions, does your brain not tell you to find a way to get to the free throws line? I mean come on na. Haba!!! |
| Romance › Re: Nigerian Men Have Failed Nigerian Women: An Opinion by Thanos(op): 2:17pm On Jul 16, 2021 |
https://www.nairaland.com/6643241/nigerian-men-failed-women In reference to this post. I must say I am happy with the level of intelligent discourse gradually returning on this forum. There might be hope after all. To touch on the topic from the OP. Here is my humble submission... I’ve managed to read the entire back and forth on this thread and I would say this. I understand completely the perspective from which the OP based his argument. --Men claim (or are/depending on what side of the argument you are on) stronger, smarter, inherently intelligent than the women hence that means more responsibility is on the men to lead, as all the qualities listed above are what you expect from a leader at a bare minimum. --Every recorded civilization right from the beginning (depending on either the religious or scientific origins) has always being built majorly by men. It is a constant throughout history and I hope no one is arguing that. --Hence, it can be inferred that if all the praise and success attached with building a functioning and sustaining civilization goes to the men, the same men should be held accountable for places where civilization failed (yes, I know I am oversimplifying but you get the point). Now I won’t even try to engage any woman in this conversation because if I am a man, who claims to be the head and the superior gender, I am not trying to reason with a woman; I am superior. I let her do as I please. When she thinks she’s arguing with me, it’s basically me letting her talk. When she thinks she advancing at a rapid rate, it is simply me stepping back and letting her bask in the spotlight. Lol. Women supporting this post really don’t see the undercurrent of misogyny their third-wave feminism is barely trying to contend with. Now, back to the example, he made concerning prostitution. Let me see if I can elaborate on it further. Prostitution is as old as time. It has been here before us and it would be here far after we are all gone. The question is why is it in even successful first world countries; it is still rampant. Ladies and gentle, I present to you the economics of demand and supply. It is really not a matter of morality. It is just a matter of market economics. Demand determines the market and as long as there are men who are willing to pay for the service, there would always be women who are ready to offer it. It is really that simple. That is why at the end of the day, the responsibility still falls on men. Now there is this misconception that women are the custodians of sex and all that. That cannot be farther from the truth. Men are the custodians of sex. On an average, I’ll take my chances and say that at least most men can sleep with 80% of the world's women if they wanted to (with or without consent) because we are the stronger sex (for the number crunchers who are going to ask me for statistical proof, you are getting no response from me). The keyword being if. Women seem to forget, that they can go around and do as they please is because some men have banded together and deem it a crime to abuse and harass them for their pleasure. Not because of their intelligence, smartness or strength. If all rules were to be broken and we descended into anarchy, it is the women that would suffer the most. Go to IDP camps and see what women are going through in a microcosm of a pseudo-lawless environment to survive. Men can do as they please if they want to. I know this sounds uncomfortable, but we need to get our heads out of this fantasy land where we think the world is fair and all men and women are equal. It is the delusion that has seeped into society and is threatening to destroy the very fabric of our civilization. The west for those who are informed can tell are already on that path. I can argue the merits and demerits of third-wave feminism in another thread but the end would always be a lose-lose situation for both men and women. How many women can single-handedly pin down an average man and force him to have sex with her? I mean, the OG man that experienced the first recorded case of attempted rape was able to escape conveniently. (I am talking about Joseph in the bible). It does not take a rocket scientist to know that number would be in the sub 40% percentile of the world’s female population. My point is, when you think about it critically, while you might not entirely agree with all the OP’s points, his perspective is valid and his logic is sound. Now I am not saying that Nigeria’s problem would be solved by having a woman lead because the issues that plague this country is like the mythical hydra. Unfortunately, this one comes with 100 heads. But if we as men continue to throw around the “superior gender card”, in the face of women, then that superiority should translate in every other facet of our lives including nation-building. If not, then we also should be taking a majority share of the blame in a failed society, as if we trace for the root cause. More often than not, it always starts and ends with men. So, to buttress the OP’s point. Yes, Nigerian men have failed Nigerian women, or to put it better, Nigerian men have failed Nigeria. I bet if the OP used the latter as the post’s topic, he would probably not get as much traction. But some boys can’t help themselves. Once they hear anything that remotely tries to favour women, they get their panties in a bunch. I come in peace. |

Jman06:There are always going to be exceptions to the rules. The people you are calling are outliers. For every 1 Currie, there are thousands of male scientist that made discoveries that have shaped our society and the way we live. For every queen Amina, there are hundreds of kings that have continuously built on the foundations of their fathers, evolved to what we have today as the various systems of government. So your point still validates what i'm saying. Quantity or quality wise, men have always exceeded women in the intelligence department. |

Jman06:Depends on your definition and measure of intelligence. I really do not want to go into the nitty gritty of this topic. But in reference to nation building, you can go and look up the major inventions, discoveries, and organizations that run the world and tell me how many women are behind them. Intelligence is not by doing e=mc2 alone. There are a lot of angles to it and i'd like to think from existing facts on ground, men have proven to be superior in that area. My opinion. |

crackhaus:Bro, I really wish I could like this comment a thousand times. Like someone mentioned, the battle for men (yes its a battle) to control their urges is far beyond what the female specie can comprehend. Especially if you fall into the category of men that were exposed to sex as a youth. Everyday you have to make a conscious decision to not be attracted to any female either because of the fear of God or the respect for your partner. Mind you, I said respect, not love. Because if you think its love that stops men from cheating, you could ot be farther from the truth. How many great men have fallen victim to sexual sin? Even our role models in the bible are not spared. The thing is as a man, it is only when you have fully accepted christ and become baptised of the Holy spirit that you have a chance. Because even with all that anointing, if you by mistake find yourself in a compromising position that seems completely innocent, my brother. You will fall. Not to talk of a man having the deadly combination of money and power, you'll have to spend the rest of your days praying and running. Because that is the only way to overcome sexual sin. Fleeing and praying. So men, don't bother engaging those women up there, they would never understand. Pray to God continously to give you the grace. And remember to always flee! 2 Likes |

Roland17:I really want to see how tye lue's small ball will hold up against top tier nba centers like Embid/giannis. You know, this is one of the consequences of the three-ball. When the shots are falling and it seems you can't miss, it is always a sight to behold. Then you enter a cold stretch and all of a sudden, you've forgotten how to run plays and schemes. With mavs, the clippers got away because my supposed centre was being out rebounded by frigging campazzo in the first round. With Utah, i would not understand for the life of me, when clippers went to small ball, why snyder did not just say, "okay guys, i want you to just keep feeding Gobert with lobs and running PnR for him? The amount of corner threes that Mann and the clippers overall made was what killed this game, and the blame falls solely on snyders lap. The mavs could have complained that they lacked the personnel and we over achieved by taking them to 7 games. The jazz? Not so much. To think Kahwi did not even play the final 2 games of the series just shows how much of a monumental choke job this was from the jazz. This off season is setting up to be one for the ages. 1 Like |

Kilishihunter:Boss, abeg, you wan reawaken my PTSD. I remember going on a hiatus from basketball for 3 months, and that was the game i resumed with. I just dey my room dey go through the 5 stages of grief as i dey watch that game. 30 point lead, disappearing bit by bit. The painful part is you could not really fault the players defensively. Those brothers were in the words of steven a. smith "pulling up from thur'ty". Be like say na horror film man just dey watch that day. The thing is, it has come to stay, it the era of the three pointer so everyone would just have to learn to deal with it. |

Roland17:After seeing what the clippers did to the jazz with the so called DPOY, i can confidently say that if only the fake-ass unicorn on my team showed up for 2 of those 7 games series, I'll definitely be in the finals. Chai! This thing pain me sha. I always knew this jazz team was another one of those notoriously overrated first seeds. They are too one dimensional and they lack the superstars(plural) to take them over the edge. (don't @ me with your "DoNOvan miTCHell iS a SupERstaR" comments, there are levels to this thing.). Well, make una prepare for luka's revenge season next year. Baby goat is snatching souls on his way to mvp next season. I rest my case, also, i predicted that both lakers and nets won't make the finals. Well, hope coach bud won't fail me now |

chic2pimp:For real man, as a mavs fan it might not seem as if I'm objective, but seeing this man shooting 15-19 free throws a game drives me nuts. Well, the nba are reviewing the rules concerning this whole "landing area" rule that these offensive players are exploiting |

Roland17:Many people are not ready for this conversation. If there is any player that should imbibe a win now mentality, it is Zion. History has not been kind to players of his size and stature. They have seasons of unmatched dominance , followed immediately by a steep decline. And now that early in his career he is already battling with niggling injuries, it has placed every organization that has an interest in him on amber alert. You need to win now while he is still healthy. Maybe am wrong, maybe Zion develops a jump shot that can extend his play longevity well into his 30's, maybe the injury gods smile on him and his ankles/acl don't get the Blake Griffin treatment. But that in itself is a lot of maybes. I am happy for once that the league did not mess up by giving him Rookie of the Year last season. Availability will always trump talent as far as I'm concerned and that is shaping up to be an area where Ja would always trump him. My advice to the pelicans, get a coach who would actually find away to get the best out of him while minimizing his exertion on the floor. Sit Ingram down and make him understand that this is zion's team now and either he gets in line or he gets his ass traded. Unleash Zo' and let him do his thing. He has always been a pass first PG now he has two legitimate scoring threat to feed, stop trying to make him a 3nD player and let him play his game. |
