Extremists: Which ones are the best, etc?

[crossfire]

Hello, my name is crossfire and I'm a homemade sourdough bread extremist. (I even make sourdough cornbread and cinnamon rolls.)

There. I admitted it. Now what?

Gotta look out for them chocolate fundies too.

That's me, i should have mentioned that too...

Most of the extreme metal genres. I guess you could call groups like Suffocation and Dying Fetus "extremists".

Oh yeah. Let's not forget Terrorizer. That was some extreme metal extremism right there.

 

[Banach-Tarski Paradox]

In general who do you think are the best, safest, or most friendly, etc, extremists? You can be as specific as you like.

It’s difficult to chose, given the wide variety of extremisms that have existed throughout history.

For fun it’s hard to beat Edward Nelson and his Ultra-Finitism.

Cat extremists, i will gladly admit to being on of that honoured member and i consider myself the best and most friendly.

Also track extrmists though they are not always friendly, especially when you stomp all over their track record ;-)

@JustGeorge has already highlighted the joys of cake extremists so im going for good food extremism. Yes I'm there too.

Obviously, libertarians are the best extremists.
Not smarter, quieter, or better smelling.
But few in number, who mind their own business.

None of them

That is false at least in some cases.

Sorry, i thought you said librarians.

I see that you don't believe there can be generalities,
ie, any tendencies that groups have. If there's even
a single exception, then there is no trend.....

Black folk aren't darker than whites.
Men aren't bigger or stronger than women.
People with PhDs in physics aren't smarter than janitors.
Danes aren't better off than N Koreans.

It must really suck to be a Dane, eh.

 

[Revoltingest]

Sorry, i thought you said librarians.

As I said, we libertarians are not quieter.

 

[SalixIncendium]

As I said, we libertarians are not quieter.

Some of us are.

 

[Revoltingest]

Some of us are.

Stop shouting.
I'm right here, & can hear you just fine.

No, that they mind their own buisness.
Of cource the morality is subjective and relative, but it is not a fact that they mind their own buisness. That is in the end a moral claim.

Subjectivity is an illusion.
Illusions are subjective.

What ever.
