I just don’t see why rejecting dualism pushes these people to leap to new forms of irrationalism dealing in the material world rather than really accepting their limits. I think it’s more about the temptation of being a public figure, it’s mostly their ego.

I am pretty sure we can account for all of the mechanics of consciousness and reincarnation once we develop our understanding of physics for another few thousand years.

Here’s what I know, the world didn’t end when anyone else died before me. Here we are. I feel like insecurity about that leads a lot of people to talk about these things more than we need to.

Yes also stapled the idea of atheism to creepy nihilism and yet more social darwinism, one of the worst aspects of religion

Sad to see a fucking geneticist endorse social darwinism, too common

the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread

Oh I just thought your site was dead. I can’t even find the megas here. Haha. For context I have been a (okay maybe not “a” user lol) user on Lemmy/Hexgrad for years. Had no idea any of this took place while I continued posting here. Reddit mods stay coming up with pointless rules

You know, most of the time people call that a “containment thread” and they mean to deliberately annoy the people they ask to “move their stuff out of the way”

I think a lot of them are just in a position to have the imaginary class position of being petit boug in the same way a guy with a retirement package and a mortgage has the option of convincing himself the stock market and real estate’s ability to Maintain Value are the most important things in the world.

Interesting find, I haven’t had any issues with opening stuff in Firefox yet but could be handy

You don’t think Lemmy.world’s botting, sockpuppetry, and heavy-handed moderation is extreme lol?

In general I focus more on talking about external affairs that are not meta-social discussion. I have found I will wonder if people are hinting I am being an idiot or something when referencing, for instance how stupid a lot of fitness and diet trends are. In my case the suspicion comes from like, “do they also view me that way?” if that makes sense.

I am living food storage I love handing people snacks that I can never get hungry enough to eat

Since when do publishers have goodwill

I just need boots for ludcrously giant arches

Well clearly we don’t need to give you The Talk then

no way would anyone get away with that kind of crap on me, i’m too paranoid. i think most of the mfs i know are more likely to knowingly use an ai if they’re the type who talks themselves out of getting any ladies

there is always the fringe possibility that they have minimal contact with their family member but worry about them as people often worry about their deployed humvee mechanic brothers and they give tacit support without any understanding of the situation. i’ve run into people like that and found ways to state that the best thing is for them to return home because the Iraqi resistance is not going anywhere. i wonder if they remember i said that in the current context. probably not

to quote Stalin: every historical parallel is perilous, this one is asinine
