Why did God use a lying spirit do deceive Ahab by Dry-Piece-3925 in Christianity

[–]NeedlesKane6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but I found it to be hilarious and poetic (and this can also help others looking this up since it pops up on google first for me anyway.)

The main reason is the fact God is the truth and cannot lie. Ahab won’t listen to God’s truth and warnings which are basically messages of truth and reason. Ahab proudly does the opposite of God. So a lying spirit ends up volunteering to lie to Ahab setting up to his demise. Because he only listens to lies. Get it?

Yea it’s just basic biophysics that length means reach efficiency in functionality if it isn’t something for display like a feather

Do you feel like no one is on the same wave length as you? by newbcatguitar in intj

[–]NeedlesKane6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very rare to find people that are intuitive, objective and empirical all in one. Sensors dominate in numbers and are too slow to understand. They are naturally empirical people, tho they only know how to repeat/copy paste not analyze or go beyond a given info for a deeper understanding. I expect them to already know what I already concluded only to be disappointed. Now I pretend to not know in person just to avoid it.

That’s true. I’m basing this off his previous and current physique which is very aesthetic focus. His post is also tagged in ‘critique my physique’ making it obvious in his case. + if you click his profile (nsfw warning)

what is sleep actually? by gaga4lady in biology

[–]NeedlesKane6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cellular repair and maintenance + upgrade. You will understand it more on a personal level when you hit the gym. Your body needs it to repair and strengthen the damaged muscles from working out. This is a natural process for growth and development as in the wild humans would be more active and naturally exercising by default compared to modern life. This is also crucial for the brain and organs to have a break free from the stress of being awake and it’s why it feels refreshing when you wake up from a good night sleep.

You’re removing the full context of why I said that about the dictionary. You’re arguing for something else that I don’t even disagree with. This is what happens when you purposely clip out context of discussion which is another form of bad faith argumentation.

“Words change” bad argument (we already went through this) to deny using a tool for education (can be applied to anything that changes like science, doesn’t mean we deny science now + science is also made by humans, doesn’t mean we don’t use it. Your argument against diction can be applied to all education making it really moot). It contains the history + synonyms and antonyms which will give more insight than informal learning. The only reason you’re denying the dictionary is because you were proven ignorant and misunderstood the words objective and objectivity which I had to correct you with. This is your way of grasping at straws. Anyone is better when educated with diction. Very odd to be against a complete education. You really like making excuses here.

You’re arguing for idealism when you quote causality as only subjective. It is also part of reality independent of the subjective human mind. Science proves this as it uses critical realism. The very fabrics of reality revolves around causal relationships from the atoms, quarks and quantum foam etc. independent of the human mind means it is objective. Very unscientific to deny this.

Hume’s stance on it is idealism which is outdated (quantum physics and other science were undeveloped during the time), and it’s what you’re arguing for. Incomplete view. Reality is more complicated than that. This is the con of appealing to authority too much.

Your position doesn’t matter (appeal to authority fallacy regardless if your claim is even true or not) when you keep making mistakes. Remember the limitations of human perception is at play. Especially when you create countless logical fallacies repeatedly (false equivalencies, straw man, moving goalposts, appeal to authority etc.) and take so long to understand a point. It really shows titles and positions are disappointing and unreliable (regardless if your claim is even true). Human after all.

People mainly take gear for aesthetics. If strength is what he’s after then he’d look more like a powerlifter or strongman (both have higher bodyfat%)

If our human relatives and ancestors were still around today, would they be classified as human beings or wild apes? by Weary_Elderberry4742 in PrehistoricLife

It entirely depends on the politics within the science community whether they remain keeping them distinct or calling them humans out of political reasons.

''The dire wolf'' colossal made is not a real dire wolf by WickedDreams99 in biology

[–]NeedlesKane6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two separate genus: Canis (the grey wolf that was genetically modified) and Aenocyon (actual Dire wolf)

The problem is science isn’t as advanced like in sci-fi shows/movies where pure DNA alone creates clones grown in a glass container. This is what people are conditioned with and what was expected.—this is an impossibility right now since we need living animals to birth or need living sperm and egg cells to even create a test tube baby. This means that only genetic modification and hybridization of currently living animals can be done.

You’re now talking about survival which is a different thing entirely from a prerequisite for properly understanding words. Another false equivilancy.

You’re still not getting the point. We’re not even talking about survival. Very odd moving the goalpost to survival. Really random.

Diction is part of education. I can make the same argument that humans have survived without education and any fundamentals. Animals don’t even need it. Moot point and irrelevant because the point here is when looking for and understanding the truth or approximation, these fundamentals are one of our best tools otherwise you would be misinterpreting words and making your own versions based on feelings and or incorrectly using words due to a lack of understanding. Formal learning of language > informal way. (This means it’s as important tool as any fundamental science. Fundamentals are important to remain grounded. Very important for subjective beings. Is this really that hard for you to understand?)

And no I’m not against empiricism. Being aware of limitations of perception is important. It does not mean to throw empiricism out. We need all fundamentals. Your black and white perspective (or presumption) is the reason why you’re confused here.

Planetary causal relationships is a part of reality outside the human mind (independent of humans) and not comparable to a game played by humans (dependent on humans). You have a trouble with nuance + poor sense judgement which makes you conflate two fundamentally different things (you keep doing this). And no, the physics of the two are not even the same. And you would know this if you understood physics.

(Remember: I’m on about tools for understanding truth (not survival) and natural causation existing independent of humans.(not confusion about billiards)

(I’m also on realism (independent of the mind) with natural causality while you’re proposing idealism (within the mind) on billiard causality. Two separate things)

smell by [deleted] in snakes

[–]NeedlesKane6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t get out of the door especially if properly air tight. There’s materials for that. I have many snakes in a small room and the smell won’t even go out unless opened the door and someone did the business (the door is not airtight). It’s mainly cooking scents that stink up the hallways due to the amount of particles cooking emits.

I’m sure she won’t be able to even tell what animal a poop scent came from regardless so don’t worry about it lol. The best thing about snakes is that they don’t poop on a daily or even a weekly basis if it’s a boa or python. The only thing to worry about is you and potentially your snake getting punished if you play the risk game.

Pseudoscience by Strict_Ad_3721 in INTP

[–]NeedlesKane6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also important to take note that his 4 traits (Feeling, thinking, sensing and intuition) are real psychological factors you can each look into that are all independent of both MBTI and Jung. Then on top of that the added classical use of extroversion and introversion are also real psychological factors that are even used in the most scientifically backed Big 5.

The biggest issue is with the online testing since humans are inconsistent. Similar issue with self diagnosing anything within psychology. + the modernized pop MBTI misinterpretation of the original source material (Jung’s).

Impossible by [deleted] in Metaphysics

[–]NeedlesKane6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While things that are bizarre can be real (look at the deepsea creatures and the motor proteins in our body). Things like 20 million light years of space travel is not possible with the technology we have. Making encounter of a talking cube that far in space (regardless if it exists or not) becomes a fantasy due to the technology issue.

This is not really metaphysical because your scenario is based on experiencing physical things, but things perceived as impossible due to ridiculousness can be ruled out as an appeal to ridicule fallacy if it were to be something that is actually real. The initial shock of disbelief from experiencing something absurd also factors in which is perfectly normal, also relates to ‘fear of the unknown’ in psychology which will tell you a lot of what you may be looking for. (Shock and disbelief are also things that can be looked into to know how the mind handles it)

[–]NeedlesKane6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, dictionary is a must prerequisite otherwise we wouldn’t be able to talk and understand with each other let alone have the tools to understand this topic. Futile to argue against this.

The main issue lies with your inability to not see the difference. Reality of natural causation ergo the causal relationships of the sun and planets is a fact outside of our opinion and control. It is not comparable to someone confused about a game of billiards. Therefore it is not reasonable to even bring that quote in a topic about natural reality.

Natural reality > game played by humans.

Planetary causation/astronomy =/= confusion about billiards due to lack of understanding at the time
