Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a French Enlightenment philosopher and writer born in Geneva, Switzerland. He believed that the natural goodness of man was warped by society, and his ideas warped the French Revolution."Rousseau and Revolution", University of Notre Dame. He managed to get both the French and the Swiss pissed at him, so that's something.
==Philosophy==
Rousseau's core philosophy has a tendency to get either misrepresented or outright strawmanned, depending on who's doing the criticizing. His work was largely a response to Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who argued that pre-society humans were violent and brutal to one another. Rousseau, however, posited that pre-society humans were largely docile, timid, and solitary - furthermore, they were completely amoral, as morality and concepts of justice could, in his view, only be established through a social contract.http://www.iep.utm.edu/rousseau/#SH3b Rousseau believed that active hatred of one's fellow man - and other corrupting values - had to be learned through society, which he argued - by yelling at clouds through his writing - was happening during his time. Hence he advocated for developmental education in children, aimed at combating this and increasing our autonomy, which he thought was the best way to preserve our typical docile roots.http://educationalroots.weebly.com/jean-jacques-rousseau.htmlhttp://www.iep.utm.edu/rousseau/#SH3b
This ends up being flanderizedhttps://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=flanderize into the belief that Rousseau saw all humans as inherently good - an interpretation of Rousseau shared even by some of his contemporaries, such as Voltairehttp://www.iep.utm.edu/rousseau/#SH3b (1694-1778). In reality, Rousseau thought humans were "good" in so far as pre-society peoples didn't actively bite each other's throats out but mostly kept to themselves, which isn't quite the same thing.
Rousseau also believed that personal freedom and authoritative power would need to be in balance in an effective society, this balance would be kept by the concept of a general will, the collective will of the citizen body, as the source of law in a state.
"Jean Jacques Rousseau", Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Since both Rousseau's and Hobbes' conception of a "State of Nature" predate Darwin's research, and since our common ancestors are now widely known to have been social animals, it seems unlikely that human beings ever existed without some form of a society present. As such, saying that society corrupted us or is the only thing keeping us from burning our neighbors' house down might be a tad simplistic in light of new information.

Jeane Dixon

Jeane L. Dixon (1904-1997) was one of America's famous self-acclaimed psychics and astrologers in the 20th century, thanks to her astrology column in a syndicated newspaper. A notable amount of her predictions (some of which have failed) were publicised, with splendid reception.
==Noted predictions==
Most, if not all, of her 'predictions', did not come to fruition.
She allegedly foretold the assassination of John F. Kennedy upon seeing his victory in the 1960 Presidential Election, although later she herself admitted that she actually saw Richard Nixon, who followed her predictions during his tenure as President of the United States, taking the upper hand then. She foresaw that in 1958, a dispute over the Kinmen and Matsu Islands (today part of Fujian Province in Taiwan) would cause World War III to break out, but of course, nothing happened then. She even foresaw the Soviet Union being the first to place a man on the moon, but in the end, it was a who took that title. She claimed to foresee world peace by 2000, but wars and conflicts have still gone on since then. She foresaw a cure for cancer in 1967, but there is no cure for it yet. She also predicted that Pope Benedict XVI would be assassinated and be the final Pope,http://skepdic.com/dixon but of course, guess what happened. It didn't ever happen. She also predicted that a planetary alignment on February 4, 1962 was to destroy Earth, and this prediction led to mass congregational meetings in India, but also, nothing happened then, and afterwards, she went on to predict that Armageddon would take place in 2020.
After her long life dedicated to prophesying, and tons of failed prophecies, Dixon suffered a heart attack and died at a hospital in Washington, D.C.: Divine retribution, perhaps? Look at what says about fortune-telling quacks.
==The Jeane Dixon Effect==
The Jeane Dixon Effect refers to a certain syndrome common in alleged psychics and fortune tellers in which a few seemingly accurate predictions were promoted by a bigger organisation (e.g. the media), while ignoring the large numbers of failed predictions (confirmation bias).

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Jeane Kirkpatrick (1926-2006) was morally insane (or, if you're Noam Chomsky, the "chief sadist-in-residence") one of the most influential neoconservatives in the Reagan administration, serving as Saint Reagan's foreign policy adviser. Today, she is most well known for unapologetically defending authoritarian governments so long as they took an anti-communist stance. Her justification for this is that they weren't as bad as potential Marxist governments (this failed before, and she allowed it to happen again). The governments she supported most were El Salvador, Guatemala, Argentina, and even the Philippines. Despite her supposedly "anti-rebel" stance (on the basis that traditional dictatorships were better than new ones), she supported the Contras in Nicaragua. During the Falklands War, she favored neutrality, as she supported Argentina's Videla junta. She clashed with Secretary of State Alexander Haig's pro-British position, eventually leading to her downfall in the Reagan administration.
She usually responded to her critics by addressing them as "San Francisco Democrats" who were part of the "blame America first crowd" (blowback never existed, you know), making her favorite defense something of a mix between a strawman and an ad hominem. She also wrote an essay about how Democrats weren't much better about supporting dictators, so she didn't deserve criticism.Not even trying here. If you couldn't tell yet, her tendency to defend her policies through blatant logical fallacies doesn't make her a very endearing figure to the majority of people who aren't hardline neocons.Even the Cato Institute hates her guts.
Despite all of the above, she has won the Presidential Freedom Award, which is only slightly less ironic than Henry Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize. 
In yet another horrifying twist, she headed the US delegation to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, where she is best known for dying before she could convince an Arab delegation to support the Iraq War. 
==Quotes==
Kirkpatrick is known for being very quotable, though not in the way she probably wanted to be.

Jedi

Jediism is a real world religion based on the fictional Star Wars' Jedi, a group of religious practitioners with the ability to manipulate reality through a supernatural component called "the Force". Despite being a work of fiction intended to remain within the Star Wars franchise, some awesome trendsetters zealous nerds decided to found a Jedi parody religion, though some, like many religious persons, may take offence at the "parody" part.
==Origins of the religion==
In 2001, there was an e-mail campaign intended to get as many individuals as possible to report their religion as "Jedi" in the official UK census based on the belief that if enough people declared themselves to be 'Jedi' it would be officially recognised as a religion (this is not actually true, the census is a data-collecting exercise and has no mechanism or power to declare religions 'official' or otherwise). While there are some people who have faith in this religion, a larger number declared themselves as part of the religion either to annoy the government, or to be part of a parody religion. While some governments treated the religion as notable on the censusJedi makes the census listUK Census the government of Australia reacted impassively, and counted those who declared themselves as Jedi as "not defined."The 2001 Census, Religion and the Jedi
Incidentally, Scotland released the figures collected in their census: 14,038 said their religion was "Jedi" or "Jedi Order," and a further 14 said they were Sith. This is a bit weird, considering that 15 people said that the Dark Side was their religion of upbringing, and the Sith aren't generally known for renouncing their evil ways and reverting to whatever the reverse of the Dark Side is.One occasion is in Return of the Jedi with Darth Vader finally redeeming himself, but there are only a handful of others in the Extended Universe. Oh, and according to official Star Wars canon, the opposite of the Dark Side is called the Light Side.
==Discrimination==
The Jedi religion is subject to overt systemic discrimination. While practicing and popularizing their religion, some members were being told to leave government buildings because of the head gear they wear. While members of the religion insist that they should wear a hood whenever possible, and that the headwear does not obstruct the face, the hood is not a mandatory part of the religion. Specifically, the notable figures of Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda were known not to wear the hood in a public location, in order to catch special sales in the corporate supermarket.Jedi religion founder accuses Tesco of discrimination over rules on hoods

Jedi Mind Tricks

Jedi Mind Tricks is a semi-underground rap group based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They can be considered the H. P. Lovecraft of hip-hop, known for both their cult following and for the downright nasty bigotry and general crankery that often appears in their work.
The group is fronted by rapper and renowned mouthbreather Vinnie Paz (born 1977), now a former Muslimhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJnZUxuh7RA. Paz used to have a taste for writing lyrics describing in vivid detail how much he enjoys punching faggots in the teeth and how homosexuality equals savagery.Lyrics from "Nadia Cambia" by Vinnie Paz He also liked to compare himself favorably to both Mussolini and Ayatollah Khomeini,YouTube — Jedi Mind Tricks — Nada Cambia and has even stated he finds Iran's regime preferable to that of the US.YouTube — Jedi Mind Tricks - Heavy Metal Kings This massive heap of idiocy would not be complete without a few 9/11 conspiracy theories, AIDS denialism,A Conversation with Vinnie Paz — Arts — Vermont Cynic — University of Vermont anti-fluoridation, and a particularly christballs insane variety of antivax lunacy (e.g. claiming that polio vaccines killed more people than they cured)Info Wars interview — YouTube sprinkled on top for good measure. It's almost funny, as the group has often called for people to "not believe the fear mongers", albeit with regard to the aforementioned conspiracy stupidity, or otherwise the exact opposite to the fear mongers.
===Fun facts===
* In 2010, a concert in Amsterdam was protested by a Dutch gay rights organization.Jedi Mind Tricks Protested in Amsterdam | Get The Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News & Hip Hop Album Sales | Hip Hop DX
* Paz is known for his energetic stage presence, occasionally performing full shows standing still with his back turned to the audience.
===Improvement!===
Over the past few years, Paz seems have become a pretty conscientious dude, abandoning Islam after converting to Christianity and condemning homophobia in no unclear terms,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJnZUxuh7RA though it is not known whether he still clings onto the previously mentioned conspiracy nonsense.

His research for the ICR tends to be genetics related, and concentrated in 2011 on the genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees. He made much of his research's apparent discovery that the similarity between humans and chimps was 'merely' 86-89%. In 2012 his ICR News article on the sequencing of the Gorilla genome, Gorilla Genome Is Bad News for Evolution,<capture>Gorilla Genome Is Bad News for Evolution</capture> was attacked on Pharyngula as failing to understand the science.A tiny bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing

Jennifer Margulis

Jennifer Margulis is a home birth advocate and author. As is typical with many critics of modern medicine, she mixes legitimate criticism of things like over-treatment with conspiratorial thinking about how Big Medicine and Big Pharma are out to destroy you and your children in the name of profit. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, as it were. Unsurprisingly, she flirts with vaccine denial as well, not outright saying that vaccines are bad but just asking questions about how safe and necessary they are. In her own words, "I am not anti-vaccine, I am pro-questions."http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/vaccines/etc/margulis.html She states she is "pro-vaccine" and that "vaccines work" but repeats many of the thoroughly-discredited claims thrown about by vaccine deniers: vaccines may cause autism, vaccine schedules recommend too many vaccines at once, vaccines are potentially harmful because they're not "natural", etc.http://www.jennifermargulis.net/blog/2011/08/parents-dont-be-duped-the-california-immunization-coalition-spreading-misinformation-about-vaccine-safety/
In 2016, she co-authored a book about vaccines"The Vaccine-Friendly Plan" book on Amazon with Dr Paul Norman Thomas MDAn archive copy of Dr Paul's medical-licence. In 2017, she appeared in Ty Bollinger's epic "The Truth About Vaccines".Jennifer in the cast of "The Truth About Vaccines"
She happens to be the daughter of biologist Lynn Margulis, who was Carl Sagan's first wife and proposed endosymbiotic theory…and was an HIV denialist and 9/11 truther. Guess it runs in the family.

Jeremy Sherr

Jeremy Sherr is a South African-born homeopath, self-published author and kook best known for pretending that magic sugar pills homeopathy can cure AIDS. 
Sherr studied Homeopathy at the College of Homoeopathy in London in 1980. He also studied Acupuncture at the International College of Oriental Medicine (apparently without noticing that the theories and disease models of homeopathy and acupuncture are mutually exclusive). He founded the "Dynamis School", a "post-graduate homeopathy course" (i.e. diploma mill) in 1987. He began study and research in homeopathic provings in 1982 with a proving of Scorpion, apparently. It's unclear how this was done since the traditional Hahnemann method of proving involves giving people a dose strong enough to cause tangible symptoms. With scorpion? Good luck with that.
He's been compared with AIDS denialist quack Matthias RathRath sued Ben Goldacre for calling him a quack and lost.. Need we say more.

Jerusalem syndrome

Jerusalem syndrome is a rare psychiatric disorder described by Dr Gregory Katz (head of the Emergency Unit at the Givat Shaul Mental Health Centre) in the British Journal of Psychiatry in 2000.http://bjp.rcpsych.org/cgi/content/full/176/1/86
Sufferers arriving in Jerusalem are afflicted with the delusion that they are characters from the Bible, the Torah, or the Koran, or are, in some other sense, a messianic figure.
==Clinical definition==
Dr. Katz described 7 stages:
The Israeli police have set up a special unit to deal with such people and between 30 and 40 people a year are admitted, but only a few are diagnosed as having "genuine" Jerusalem syndrome. Bar-El et al. reported 42 such cases over a period of 13 years, and none of these cases seemed temporary in nature — thus, to be considered "genuine" Jerusalem syndrome.
Most patients are middle aged from small towns in the USA or Scandinavia. Jet lag and lack of sleep could possibly be contributing factors, though travelers from Scandinavia barely leave their timezone.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#/media/File:Standard_World_Time_Zones.png
==The inherent link between religiosity and mental illness==
The late Christopher Hitchens doesn't fail to put the Jerusalem syndrome in context to the concept of revelation and an invisible being who influences people, writing on the topic of the syndrome:Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything (p. 53)
The implication that all religious people are mentally ill, or that religion is a mental illness, is absurd and unfair, but given the sorts of destructive and repressive antics hyper-religious people can and do get up to, regrettably understandable.
==Rationalizations by the faithful==
Because there are so many self-proclaimed messiahs arrested every year, rabbis had to define the messiah to exclude such people, without unintentionally condoning the arrest of the real messiah, should he appear. Their official explanation is that, by definition, the real messiah will be self-evident, and everyone will automatically know he is such. (This position, interestingly, disqualifies Jesus from being the messiah, because there were those who met him and still doubted him (e.g., the Sanhedrin and most Roman officials), but Jews don't believe Jesus was the messiah in the first place so whatever.)
