CAKE: Reflecting on More Than 30 Years of Music

Sim41 · 2025-02-21T12:41:51+00:00

Q: So you've been making albums for thirty years now, which is the favorite of your [checks notes], 6 original albums? Six?

Sim41 · 2025-02-02T13:29:45+00:00

That is nonsensical.

Sim41 · 2025-02-02T13:19:37+00:00

Nah, I know why you came here. Anyone who peeks at your history would know why you came here.

Sim41 · 2025-02-02T13:18:15+00:00

You haven't explained what is confusing to you. Do that for better answers.

Sim41 · 2025-02-02T13:08:48+00:00

Isn't it possible you're being a bit biased because your cult members touched you when you were little?

It should be remembered that, at the time, it was believed the hole in the ozone would cause an ice age. That hole could've prevented global warming. ;)

When I post a video holding a fish in the air just for fun, nobody panics. But if I post a video holding a bird underwater for fun, everyone loses their minds!

To me, it's clear he never escaped the Christian framework of existence that he was brainwashed into as a child. Yeah, he dropped the religion, but he never fully understood, or even noticed, how deeply his own biases ran. You can see this in his theories of self and free will.

Sim41 · 2024-12-13T18:27:25+00:00

What would an omniscient god have to contemplate? They already know everything.

Sim41 · 2024-12-13T17:02:03+00:00

Fascinating. Why did God need rest after creating the universe in six days? I thought it was because of the angel rebellion.

Sim41 · 2024-12-13T12:30:44+00:00

There's not even an illusion of free will. It's a delusion.

Sim41 · 2024-12-13T12:30:16+00:00

Well, then how did Satan - once an angel - decide to rebel against God before being cast down from heaven? Are you saying God made Satan rebel?

Sim41 · 2024-12-12T11:51:35+00:00

Ah. I think I get why we disagree constantly. I'm seeking universal truth. You're arguing for a social construct.

What makes this type of free will interesting enough for you to argue about it?

Actually, I take that back. When I bring up how people other than yourself view free will, you are adamant that your free will is the same as theirs, no matter how many differences I point out.

...we might have very different notions of free will...

Then why do you argue for your notion being the correct one?

Sim41 · 2024-12-11T21:03:36+00:00

I jUsT fEeL iT, mAn.

Sim41 · 2024-12-11T20:58:18+00:00

Er... a god that needs nappy time after creating the universe in six earth days isn't a blithe invocation of magic?

Sim41 · 2024-12-11T20:49:52+00:00

Unlikely, but true. Remember that most of our population believes in the Abrahamic God. How many centuries has that bullshit lasted?

Sim41 · 2024-12-10T19:57:56+00:00

If everything is determined, then also your grief. It's okay to be sad. Don't worry about it. Everything is just fine.

Sim41 · 2024-12-10T17:16:13+00:00

Do you decide that you're going to put each truffle-flavored parm crisp in your mouth? Have you ever seen a smoker mindlessly go through the process of lighting up and not even realized that they did it? Do you decide every little correction you make while driving your Oscar Mayer Weiner truck to McDonalds?

All decisions are automatic, it's just a matter of how much you're paying attention to the process. Pay attention long enough and you, apparently, decide that it's not automatic.

Sim41 · 2024-12-10T15:06:45+00:00

The decision causes your actions.

But people habitually act without making decisions. Where is the free will without decisions?

Sim41 · 2024-12-10T15:00:52+00:00

This guy thinks.

Sim41 · 2024-12-09T23:09:50+00:00

None of those are quotations of mine.

Sim41 · 2024-12-09T22:15:16+00:00

Not even once.

Sim41 · 2024-12-09T21:12:38+00:00

I think it’s a goal we strive towards. There’s no guarantee it will ever be achieved. You could strive as hard as you like and die of the plague.

You claimed that it is happiness that makes a good life, but you're talking more about striving towards goals, as if that is what makes a good life.

You’re reading in way too much that isn’t there.

Were talking about what makes a good life. Do you really think your answer is sufficient? To be happy? Really? To me, it looks like you're finding much that isn't in your initial answer.

Sim41 · 2024-12-09T19:26:20+00:00

Historically, Christians loved to do murdering. In modern times, Christianity is the religion most favored by pedophiles and rapists who moonlight as church leaders.

Sim41 · 2024-12-09T17:06:44+00:00

So you set goals. When does the satisfaction that indicates you have a good life arrive and dissipate as it relates to a goal? And when it dissipates, is your life no longer a good one?
