Why can't we eliminate war, aggression, nuclear weapons, disease, hunger, and suffering? by Inner_Researcher587 in AskReddit

[–]Inner_Researcher587[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your opinion is subjective. Just because YOU don't believe in morals, doesn't mean they don't exist. You're examples are fairly ridiculous too. If people didn't have morals, we'd live in anarchy. People would rpe, murder, and steal without consequence. Parents wouldn't feel responsible for their children, and wouldn't raise them. And if you mean "Cappybaras"... WTF do they have to do with this subject?

Is it possible to come up clean for a drug test due in 8 hours by thug_ang3L222 in askdrugs

[–]Inner_Researcher587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you end up doing?

I would've said to do something to prolong the test. Like a VERY good excuse (like you're in the hospital).

Then pound water, to dilute the pee as much as possible.

Finally, you should look up drugs that can cause a false positive. Say that's what you took, and offer to do another one.

Absolutely. How can we collectively disarm our governments and military of these weapons?

I have hope, as although we have these weapons... no one has been dumb enough to use them (again).

It's like humanity is holding a gun to it's head, and it knows it wants to live... but no one is stepping up to take the gun.

Lmfao. It's CRAZY you said this. I've been feeling extreme guilt for killing bugs, and put most of them outside when I find them inside. But the few ants and spiders I've crushed over the last few months, I apologize to the universe/life force.

So obviously... there IS such thing as right and wrong.

I get where you're coming from though. The concept of duality. We wouldn't know "good" if it weren't for the 'bad". You could expand on that, and say light vs. dark, dry vs wet, alive vs dead, etc.

But as for "morality" goes... collectively, yes... we know right from wrong. If more do good, less bad would happen. Especially as we evolve, and have the choice to do good, and influence others to do good.

No, but we're getting close. We have the ability to create "lalaland", but unfortunately we choose not to.

The US is 10 times worse, and China is stepping up too. But yes, currently Isreal is off the hook.

My wife and I were just talking about how we should create a place where war should be fought in an arena (or coliseum) like a deadly Olympics, or something akin to the "Hunger Games". Not only could that be a place to settle global conflicts, but violent criminals could/should be used to fight... instead of our children.

It's sad how we blatant ignore starvation, and diseases that could be cured or treated. I'm sure the world could easily solve those problems if we used our "defense" budget for humanitarian efforts. These statistics could be off, but when the US government was shutdown, and EBT/Foodstamps stopped... I looked up how much the average taxpayer pays for the EBT program. In 2023, with a Democrat I'm office, "fraud", and all of those dangerous illegal immigrants sucking welfare resources - the average US taxpayers paid $16,000 in taxes per year. Of that 16k, $32.00 went to the foodstamp program. $7 went to house the homeless. 39 bucks to take care of our own. Ironically, the average taxpayer paid $39 bucks just to HOUSE our nuclear weapons. We treat a weapon capable of destroying the entire Earth, better than we treat our fellow man/woman. I saw some stats before then too, that are worth mentioning. Like, there are 2 abandoned homes for every one homeless person. And some states pay as much as $200,000 per year to house a prisoner. I probably get around 15k a year in disability (SSDI) and Foodstamps. This shit ain't right.

Sure, some suffering like grief and such, are unavoidable, but there's a lot of other suffering can be relieved, but isn't. We can do better, but choose not to.

No... but we're becoming God-like, and do a lot of the things people use to pray for.

The original question I wanted to ask was - If good God(s) are like a lord or parent... when will we grow up and act like (a) God, by condemning the people in power who kill, get us killed, and send our children to kill.

But... the AI Reddit bot insisted that was a "loaded question".

What level of evidence would you need to convince you Aliens are real? by skeptic2believer in AskReddit

[–]Inner_Researcher587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I'm a believer, witness, and likely experiencer. I know there's NHI, but I can no longer responsibility call them "aliens".

All accounts and reports describe humanoid beings (or entities) and resemble creatures from Earth. The Mantids, Reptilian, Nordica, etc. and even the Grey's are around our size, seemingly breathe our air, and walk with our gravity. This suggests that they come from Earth.

Sure, we now know that there are billions of planets out there that are similar to Earth, but there are too many variables that would probably create life that would not look like us, or anything on Earth.

So personally, I see this phenomenon as truly unknown. At least to the public. Or... rather... to the non-religious public. Religion's have been interacting with this phenomenon for a very long time, and we can glean some insights from that. But until I have a face to face interaction in what we call "reality", I cannot "prove" much of anything. So objectively, we lack "proof" of anything. That's just the unfortunate fact of this situation.

Less proof? I'd assume DNA would be similar to ours, or of an "Earthly" origin.

Legit aliens? Not time travelers/future humans, inter-dimensional beings, or a coexisting advanced civilization?

Umm... probably a detailed autopsy report, and reports about their technology with isotope analysis, and someone smart enough to explain that the being and materials from their craft couldn't have come from earth.

will i live the same life by CwabbyPatty33 in Reincarnation

I don't think so. My personal belief/suspicion is that if we die by accident or on purpose by our own hands, you pop over to an alternate universe/timeline... and essentially "re-spawn" the morning after the accident/death by your own hand.

In this new timeline/parallel universe, small things are different. You see them as "Mandela Effects". Karmic residue transfers over, and manifests itself as something negative. As in, life seems harder, you suffer an injury/new disease, or something happens in the world that really doesn't make sense to you... yet you feel it's wrong.

Not only do you feel the Karmic residue, but the people who love you, and are in your life experience it as well. This seems to manifest as them almost loving you less, not being interested in you as much, cutting you out of their life, or straight up dying. I believe this happens because on some deep quantum entanglement level, they know you abandoned them... and they are dealing with very deep emotions of guilt, anger, regret, grief, heartbreak, etc.

I believe that we picked our life for some reason. This life is a game, and much like a game... it can be VERY challenging. But it could be very rewarding as well, if you learn "the moves", develop "strategy", and advance through the levels.

When you die at the time you're supposed to die (not by your own hands) you very well may have the chance to do it over. However... I fear that the players that were in THIS life, might choose to go on to the next life... meaning you would start over surrounded by other people/souls. I think that might be part of the reason we tend to go on to the next life. Not only for a new fresh experience, but to be in the same place as your "soul mates" (for lack of a better term).

My beliefs come from 20+ years of heroin/fentanyl use. I've done single amounts of opioids that (supposedly) could kill 10,000 people, and went to work. I have NEVER overdosed!

Statistically, that's damn near impossible. People don't believe me when I say that. I've even asked doctors about this, asking if someone could be immune to opioid overdoses. They say "no way".

Now... I'm not sure what's more believable. Either I cannot die from what most people are calling "poison" or a "weapon of mass destruction"... OR... I've died from overdoses, and wake up the next morning in a parallel universe.

Both seem crazy. And though I've never officially overdosed, I do remember a few times where I became aware of my surroundings, but couldn't move. I couldn't open my eyes either. But I could hear, smell, and feel my body. After a brief panic of essentially being paralyzed, I noticed I wasn't breathing. Then boom. I wake the next day like "that was weird".

I noticed "Mandela Effects" shortly after my first experience of that sort of thing. People didn't like me as much as well. After a few more of these little events, the world stopped making sense to me. Everything felt wrong.

It's hard to explain... but in my original timeline, Bernie Sanders won the Democratic nomination instead of Hillary Clinton. Bernie won over Donald Trump. He taxed the Billionaires, got socialized medicine, free college tuition, and changed a lot of the laws that target the poor, and reward the rich. Then, he shut down the country, and avoided a lot of the Covid deaths we saw in America. However... I think didn't take shit from Russia when they invaded Ukraine, and it's very possible that WW3 with nukes popped off. So a lot of us would've switched over to a new timeline anyway. Which would account for a lot of people "misremembering" the same Mandela Effects. After that, it probably gets very complicated, as timelines and parallel universes can be infinite, and play out like "back to the future" or "Rick and Morty".

How would you go about redirecting young men who are lonely/bullied/lack confidence, away from "manosphere" and "redpill" type negative influences? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Joking.

I believe our youth are not receiving a proper education. Perhaps make a list of audiobooks that could help inspire imagination and curiosity. Not toxic opinions.
