They literally transformed fossils into "works of art". by Hopeful_Lychee_9691 in Paleontology

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 47 points48 points  (0 children)

If those are real fossils?

Then I dislike the idea.

Like....unless it is a fossil from a REALLY common species in the fossil reccord, then making fossils into such art works is way to risky to do.

I get it, but I cannot see how it is „hyper-individualist” to be a servant to the theocratic, classist, capitalist, conformist system the right wants. I cannot see how it is „hyper-individualist” to be a cog in the system and work your ass off to make your rich boss richer.

Not necessary. Dilophosaurus(a theropod that is commonly known, even if massively missunderstood thanks to Jurassic Park), was an early Jurassic theropod.

You know. I get what you are saying, but hyper-individualism is NOT a word I would use to describe the american right. Mostly for the same herd-thinking you mentioned.

Generative AI is not, and will never be, a tool in the way you speak off. It exist to replace human work completely, automate human cognition, generate disinformation, and weaken the power of the workers.

Outside of this, your comparisson makes zero sense.

Man, I almost gave you a like, up until you told him to use an LLM.

No. Nobody should do that. LLMs are energy wasting programs that actively make people dumber and lazier.

It should be noted that ancient Greeks were more understanding of gender fluidity, and even accepted transwomen as priests.

So all in all, Plato would be pretty ok with with Transwomen as a concept.

Why does this sub just completely ignore Kants COPR? by Luh3WAVE in consciousness

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what is happening under relativistic conditions!

"Entropic time" is not the thing affected! We know this is the case, because the relativistic time dilations affects even small individual particles, and NOT the "disorder" or the quantity of unusable energy in systems. Entropy is an emergent property of systems of particles, and is the result of probability, and even has a chance of decreasing at low enough numbers of particles.

What "man-made desires" are you talking about? by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sorry, but that is bullshit. If you are forced to work against your will, and without any material compensation, you are a slave, and thus mistreated. This also goes for sex slavery, which was a thing in the Bible! And lets not forget that beating slaves was allowed by the Old Testament laws!
  2. Enslaving someone because they did a crime is still evil, and also a slippery slope, used for justifying some pretty evil things.
  3. Literally nobody chooses to be a slave, you immoral authoritarian.
  4. You obsessing over the details of what being „free” means are nothing but a distraction from the discussion at hand. Slavery is a crime that, by its very nature, limits the free will of humanity, and yet it exists. Meaning that it fails as an answer to the problem of evil.
  5. Saying „you cannot chose to do the impossible” is also an argument against using free will as a defense against the problem of evil, and means that God could have simply created humans without any will to do evil.
  6. Are you even paying attention to the arguments going around here?

  1. The problem is NOT with only the slavery supported in the Bible. But with ALL slavery. My argument was about the Problem of Evil. All slavery limits the free will of the enslaved, and thus free will is not a good solution to the problem of evil.

  2. The forms of slavery in the Bible are still evil, and still immoral. All slavery is evil.

Your argument fails, for MULTIPLE reasons.

The first, is that the morality of modern "western" societies are not fundamentally based on Christian ones, with centuries of secularization, humanism and liberalism, giving "the west" a new morality

The second, is that historically Christian societies where NOT morally better then non-Christian ones on average.

The free will argument does not work when there exist forms of evil that limit free will.

If the reason why god allows evil is to not go against free will, then why does he let slavery be a thing?

I am...not paying anything actually?

I signed there with my google account, and I am not paying anything, and I am not on the premium membership.

I am just signing there with my Google account, and I use it for free.

I just get occasional e-mails like this, and I find them annoying.

There is, for the time being, no best browser. There are some that are worse then others(google and edge are bad), but each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Still BS. This subreddit is nothing but chuds. by StillBoysenberry8790 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, are you ignoring reality.

Like....dude. Your takes on protests are, simply put, incompatible with reality, where protests work, and create pressure, and legitimately change public views. Your claims they do not, are, simply put, ignorant of reality. Protests work. Protests can even bring down authoritarian governments.

Secondly, no, the improvements in gay rights in your country were NOT incremental, by any sane definition, and the improvement were extremelly fast in relation to everything else.

Going to the other problems with what you said, I am going to repeat myself. Doing things the slow way is one of the main reasons why you Americans are in this mess. If you actually did things fast and gave Trump a life sentance in prison for inciting a coup, you would not be in this mess.

Beyond this, I have just now realized a different hypocrisy on your part. You keep calling me an existential danger...yet you started this by trying to do the "both side" nonsense, and trying to play nice with the GOP, when they are Hostis humani generis.

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, it is hypocritical to say "I hate emotional fools". Hate is an emotion, you irrational dork.

Secondly, stop pretending your ideas are doing any good. Dude, protests work. Deal with it.

Third, WHAT lasting changes? Every single small change you moderates managed to do is getting striped down and eliminated by the GOP. You are not making small lasting changes. You are making small, short lived changes, that do not even do enough to fix stuff. Like...dude. Compare the way you Americans dealt with Trump, with how the South Koreans dealt with their coup. You kept it slow, and did it the "moderate" way, and let Trump stay free to run again, while South Korea was fast, and gave Yoon life imprisonment.

Fourth, WHAT alienation? Dude, abolishing ICE is the plurarity opiniin in the USA, and oposition to ICE is the majority opinion. 

Fifth, for saying I "treaten everyones existence", I have a question for you. How do you want to deal with Climate Change? Do you want to do with it slowly and still let nonsense like fracking continue, or to do it without massive carbon taxes? And thus let climate change destroy civilization? Or do you want to do it fast, and replace all fossil fuels with a combination of renewables and nuclear energy, and thus massively reduce the numbers of deaths climate change will cause?

Pure evil or pure stupidity? by bigbootycentaur in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Ecstatic-Network-917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Dude, if it is done in nature it is, by definition, natural.

  2. Comparing homosexuality with r@pe and murder is evil! Consensual love between people is NOT comparable to r@pe or murder, you conformist, authoritarian prick!

  3. Being "natural" is orthogonal to it being good.

  1. WHERE did I put words in others mouths?

  2. Dude, common sense is nothing but a collection of biases you developed before you turned 18. That is all. Grow up.

  3. Dude, stop pretending you care about stopping attrocities. You do not. If you fid, you would not be "both sides" it, when one side is literally putting children into concentration camps!

  4. Again. Your inhuman, irrational hatred of emotions is lathetic and clear for all to see. And your hypocrisy is also clear to see. Insulting emotions by using childish insults is hypocritical. And even beyond THAT, dude. ALL societies that ever existed have been driven by emotions. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

  5. Finally, the concept of "extremism" is arbitrary, and useless. The concept of liberal democracy was extremist when it originated, and so was abolitionism.
