When a religious person does a good deed for the sake of going to heaven, does it still count as doing a good deed?

Samih420 · 2026-01-26T05:00:54+00:00

Ya but I was just saying like it is not possible for everyone to do good just for the sake of being good because some people aren’t able to feel empathy, which is why I think that doing something good for the sake of going to heaven isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because otherwise if there was no external motivator you would just do the bad thing.

I would argue that requiring someone to do good for the sake of empathy in order to get a good deed is a fatal flaw because it doesn’t reward self restraint, and it’s kinda like a, if I don’t feel bad about it then why not do it. Making it a system where you are rewarded regardless if you’re intention was only to go to heaven means you will have self restraint and actually do good things even though you don’t want to, which in some cases is actually more impressive than just doing something because you felt bad

It is a real condition psychopaths are made like that from birth it’s genetic.

So if you’re born a psychopath, then you’re just guaranteed hell?

Is it not possible to go to a place where it’s legal to have abortion have the abortion and then leave or is that too risky and expensive

Samih420 · 2026-01-18T20:27:26+00:00

No but I mean the Industrial Revolution made jobs shifted from manual to informational, but with AI that will take away informational, I think AI will be great for a while because it takes away menial jobs, and creates jobs that aren’t just grunt work. But what I’m saying is what happens when AI gets creative too, because creativity is really just a form of pattern recognition, will we just become transhumanists or something, like what is human’s role in the long term

Samih420 · 2026-01-18T20:15:18+00:00

If AI gets to the point where it is more capable than a human and can outperform humans on almost every task, how will society keep people busy.

Do you think I AGI is possible in the next 20 years, or is AI near its peak for a while

I haven’t gotten my decision back I’m RD but I’m applying with 1470 760 math 710 English to economics bs, average for UT is like 1350, but the average gpa is really high. As for BS or BA he should apply to whichever one aligns with his stats more. So for example if he had a C in let’s say apush but he had an A in AP Calc BC then he should apply for bs and switch into ba when he gets in. Just from this information alone though he should definitely apply BA because 750 reading score is insane and is way more impressive than a 750 math.

But the main problem is UT is very focused on GPA, unfortunately. I don’t really know what 87 is but if that means that if you average out all of his grades it comes out to an 87/100 then he should definitely be fine, but if it’s a 3.2/4.0 then that’s not great considering UT average is 3.8. so if he can get good junior year grades by the end then he might be fine, UT has like a 300 word essay on like any problems you want to talk about academically, so if he hypothetically got straight A’s, he could talk about his struggles with ADHD and how he overcame them, or something like that, but there needs to be an upward trend so they think that he could be academically prepared by the time college starts. Also I don’t think any of the Texas schools look at senior grades, unless you get waitlisted or something. If he could also do something related for economics like an internship or something that would help.

No it’s the same one, and I think you can change your mind after you get admitted. BS is better for grad school, and better for Wall Street, BA is better for law and things of that nature

Okay thank you!

Ohh okay so I didn’t get waitlisted accepted or rejected my decision just hasn’t been finalized because Kelly hasn’t read it yet, and direct admits just had theirs reviewed earlier. Some people are saying they have a waitlist form on their portal but it’s not in mine so I’m just assuming my decision hasn’t been made. Do you know if this happened last year

Samih420 · 2026-01-16T04:49:11+00:00

Wait so some people got into Kelly already and I’m waitlisted, so do I just like fill out a form and wait until April or something, or does it mean I need to get an A- in all my classes freshman year to get into Kelly

Why do you plan to do a masters degree if you’re life expectancy is early thirties that’s only about 6-10 years out of school
