Oh, that normal. I remember it. Sort of.
Reading through the comments on that Inca child-sacrifice thread (which I don't recommend) reminds me of how clever we have become at being dumb.
The danger of "intellectualism" is learning how to cleverly rationalize – or to just parrot the prepackaged shibboleths of others and call it "scientific thinking."
And that thread is full of it. It's a lot of regurgitating of talking-points without even a hint that there was real thought behind what they wrote. Those who fear A.I. should make note that we are already surrounded by bots.
None of us here (so far as I know) are geniuses. But I think we can argue most points from first principles. That is, we do not rely upon soundbytes and preprepared nuggets of groupthink.
First of all, Mr. Flu is correct about leftist ninnies worshiping a culture because it isn't their own. One commenter could have been Mr. Flu himself:
This cunt writer, Kim (an appropriate name for a sissy-boy, although I do admire the Kipling version) tried to pass off the Inca child sacrifice as just a painless, drugged-up death of children in some reasonable attempt to stave off bad weather.
But I digress. There were a couple good comments but most were parroting the thoughts of others. It may sound "scientific," but that's just the rationalizing cover. Here's an exchange between what is more or less a reasonable person and an insane one (or morally bankrupt one):
That latter fucktard is someone who can't and won't think. She (probably a she) prefers to be warmly wrapped in a pre-canned comforting cocoon of ignorance and moral decadence.
So a recent poll shows that 40% of yutes think suicide (whether forced or not is not made clear in the poll) is commendable if you are homeless or poor. The moral monsters are all around us. This won't end well.

Hmm, I think it's interesting to compare the rather infatuated, admiring tone of this article with another Guardian article on this very same mummy, and some others, from 2nd October 2007 ("Nearby were two other children, Lightning Girl, aged about 6, whose body was scorched by a direct lightning strike some time after her death, and Llullaillaco Boy, perhaps the most pathetic victim. If the girls were drugged beyond caring, the seven-year-old clearly was not: his clothes were covered with vomit and faeces, evidence, the scientists believe, of his terror. He probably actually died of crushing, so tightly bound that the cloth dislocated his ribs and pelvis...")

Indigoblu: From the lenses of time, there are many ways of judging what is regarded as human and child sacrifices. Researchers in a future age will very likely lament the wars, abortions, child porn, and murders of our age, and render ours as a diabolic age of unceasing and lamentable human holocaust----in spite of, for example, the invention of the telephone.
VoodooGnome: Cut out the abortion bit. A civilised society of any age wouldn't lump that in with the rest of your post.
