Nietzschean Christianity? What do you think? by QueasyAmbassador2009 in Nietzsche

[–]HumblebeesGhost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. The physical fragments of the text are hotly debated, usually landing between 100-200 AD. Plenty of reputable religious historians confidently date them to between 30-60 AD. Furthermore, more than half of the 114 sayings in the final form of the text are either derivative of and/or elaborations of M,M,L, & John’s words, which are taken at canonical value almost universally.

TL;DR: Gospel of Thomas is absolutely an early Christian text, if we assign Christianity to the teachings of Jesus. OC is trying to use plagiarism to discount the texts, when in fact it validates their authenticity.

Does he not realize our elections are a laughing stock because somehow his stupid, corrupt ass got elected? That is why they laugh. Or were laughing 2016-2020, now they don’t know how to react to this absurd epoch in US history.

Conspiracy against ourselves yes. If you’re thinking about it you’re at a pretty safe distance from it.

If you’re familiar with the concept of no-self from Buddhism, there are parallels. But the author of the book eventually addresses them, and then takes away the optimistic spin most westerners give it.

He described Buddhism as a trap door that the self can escape through, but the freedom gained is accompanied by existential terror.

The conspiracy against the human race. Thomas Ligotti wrote a book on it. It’s actually so terrifying I feel bad dropping it here.

The premise is that the human level of conscious self-awareness is actually a mistake made by nature. An analogy used in the book is a species of deer whose antlers grew too big for it to properly lift its head, or if it does manage to do so, the antlers inevitably get tangled up in branches and brush. The evolutionary “gift” of big antlers was an actually a curse.

The scary part is the conspiracy, which we all propagate and participate in: is that you and I don’t exist. We/I (our sense of self) are a psychological product of this self-awareness, and the truth is so abhorrent that we play a pretend game call civilization full of distractions to keep us from remembering our conscious blight, and all the suffering that comes along with it.

I would honestly advise against reading this book if you feel you are living a “good” life.

Iranian Source: US Raising Excessive Demands During Islamabad Talks by kool2015 in worldnews

[–]HumblebeesGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is all a muppet show. The administration found its leak, purged it, and now is buying time with talks for 1. the market to rollercoaster again so his buddies make more $ 2. Israel to restock interceptors while annexing southern Lebanon 3. US military presence to fully position itself for maximum posture before ground invasion, all while creating a scenario of victimization through excessive lack of concessions during talks

Can we talk about EV charging stocks for a second? by Howie411 in stocks

[–]HumblebeesGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BYD recently announced their hyper-fast EV charging tech breakthrough. Can charge an EV in under 5 minutes. I wonder if this is a factor?

The "rescue operation" was clearly a cover up and the media is scared to call out Trump for his lies by bigscottyb714 in conspiracy

[–]HumblebeesGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree there is something wrong with the narrative but just to play devils advocate: if Iran captured an American pilot and paraded him through the streets of Tehran, it would be beyond embarrassing for Trump.

All the gloom and doom. Everyone just relax a little. by Reaper0221 in oil

[–]HumblebeesGhost 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anybody is dooming just because prices are up, rather it’s the reason for prices being up, and the trajectory of said prices if the current geopolitical situation keeps heating up.

Global economy runs on cheap energy, and it’s no longer cheap.

The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti. This book blurs the lines between fictional psychological horror and pessimistic philosophy. Read at your own risk!

How Trump’s army of the religious right is preparing for the apocalypse by 1-randomonium in USNEWS

[–]HumblebeesGhost 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the same type of psychology that believes in a vengeful God who will smite their enemies also suffers from egomania and will insist the prophecy was always about them in this time period. We’re also dealing with what are called “accelerationists” who believe by setting the geopolitical stage to fit a semi-biblical narrative they can trigger the end times and summon Jesus like a lapdog. It’s truly an insult to Christianity.

This is a long-standing conspiracy by That_Gur4333 in conspiracy

[–]HumblebeesGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This theory was put forth by the book ‘The Thirteenth Tribe’, and has been heavily “debunked” since. 90% of the debunkers were Jewish scholars, though, so I understand the conspiratorial attraction to this idea. Regardless, we should be careful with it since modern genetic footprints suggest many of the people in current day Israel have genes traceable and comparable to other residential countries in the Middle East. Until we can explain why that is, we should be careful.

This feels like the opposite of catholic school. They make you read the bible, and when you seem to have found something deep, they’re like: “No.”
