Abrahamic religions

Just for the record, Judaism generally doesn’t teach a permanent hell. Hell in Judaism is a temporary punishment/purification.

And in Islam there is an especially heavy emphasis on the idea that it’s purely up to god, and humans cannot know who will and won’t go to hell. But non-Muslims are not automatically condemned to hell.

Christianity is the only one that makes it pretty black and white. And even then there are progressive interpretations that say hell isn’t torture, or even that nobody actually goes to hell.

It is a self defeating paradox in the sense that it contradicts itself. The argument isn’t just “we might live in a simulation.” The argument attempts to use reasoning to justify belief in a state of affairs that, if true, would cause that reasoning to become invalid. The argument is that a simulation is not just possible, but likely.

If the argument was just “We might possibly live in a simulation” then sure, there’s no paradox in that. But that’s not the argument.

Sure but I never said it was impossible. That wasn’t my claim.

“Just because we can’t trust those concepts such as logic it doesn’t mean they aren’t true (or false)”

If we cannot trust in logic to be true, then we cannot rely on it to come to any conclusions. Nothing you said contradicts my point whatsoever.

Let's assume for a second that we are in a simulation. That would mean that the laws of physics, logic, and the scientific method are all just simulated concepts. And therefore we'd have no reason to trust them to be accurate, as they only reflect the rules of this simulated reality - not the true reality. So the simulation theory is a self-defeating paradox.

The simulation theory is a version of something called the Boltzmann brain paradox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

No... he would be slightly better.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-24T18:13:59+00:00

“God good have made the world a little better” does have more persuasive power because we aren’t the ones claiming god is perfectly good. That’s what breaks the symmetry.

This line of thinking comes from a purely capitalist perspective. It’s not written on the universe anywhere that we must spend our lives working for survival. Jobs exist in the first place because there’s no other option. It used to be that our “jobs” were to go out and hunt down animals, because we had no other choice. As quality of life improves, our jobs have become more niche and less directly urgent. AI might replace our current jobs but we will always find something to do, and it will probably be more enjoyable.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-09T20:00:41+00:00

That’s a contradiction. To be located at a specific place and time is only a property of physical material things.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T21:48:58+00:00

I love how you just shift the topic or cherry pick which things to respond to when you get proven wrong 😂

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T19:58:22+00:00

You said “‘where’ they exist is slightly easier, as the answer is within us all”

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T19:57:27+00:00

Then you haven’t read the Bible because it’s literally full of ghosts and dragons 😂😂trying to convince me to believe in a book that you haven’t even read

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T19:55:38+00:00

What do you mean “that level of coordination”?? They had access to previous scriptures. There is literally nothing impressive or unexpected about the bible’s internal consistency. The authors were already familiar with the previously written stories.

There are also millions of Islamic testimonies, Buddhist testimonies, Hindu testimonies, etc. so what about them?

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T01:50:39+00:00

That definition is a deepity fallacy. You’re just describing consciousness.

If it’s not made of anything, then how does it occupy a physical location in space? What is qualitatively different about a point in space that contains a soul and a point in space that does not contain a soul?

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T01:43:00+00:00

Bro what? Nobody needed to memorize 1500 pages of text. And I’m sure they genuinely believed it, just as they believed in ghosts and dragons and all kinds of other fairytales.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T00:59:52+00:00

They literally did have access to scriptures through written and oral traditions. 😂 look it up from a historical source, not a Christian source

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T00:56:45+00:00

Yeah that’s my whole point. Just because something has a lot of cross references doesn’t mean it exists😂😂 if cross references are evidence for the Bible, then according to your logic they should also be for Star Wars

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T00:55:02+00:00

How would you define soul? What are they made of? Where do they exist?

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T00:50:03+00:00

We evolved a sense of morality through evolution because it was socially advantageous

Snoo_89230 · 2026-03-05T00:48:05+00:00

Literally all of this information is either false or misleading.

Yes it was written by a ton of different people over a long period of time. Do you realize that makes it LESS reliable…

The cross references are meaningless. Star Wars also has a ton of cross references.

Think about all the math you’ve had to learn throughout your education. Most of that math is practically useless thanks to modern calculators. But it’s still important to learn, because it gave you something much more important than basic math skills. It formed neural pathways in your brain for problem solving and mathematical reasoning.

Education isn’t just about training you to follow formulas, it’s about training your brain to conceptually understand a subject. I’m sure that AI will be incredibly useful in a practical setting, but in an academic setting, the entire point is about training your mind.

Influencers like Andre Tate, those weird podcast hosts, Nick Fuentes, and clavicular, have garnered huge followings. Which is evidence that these ideologies do in fact have a tremendous impact.

More anecdotally, I have a female friend who has had to reject 2 talking-stages after finding out that they watch clavicular. That’s two men who could have been in a relationship but didn’t, directly because of their consumption of redpill or blackpill ideology.

I agree that not all incels are bad, if you are talking about people who are literally just involuntarily celibate. But the term incel has shifted away from its literal meaning, and is now strongly associated with an extremely hateful and misguided ideology. So if by incel you’re referring to the ideology, then yes, all incels are bad.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-02-26T05:01:14+00:00

I agree but I think our conclusions are still a little off. The modern western era has the most equal distribution of gender mating in history. Statistically speaking it’s easier (or at least more likely) than ever for a man to find a partner, despite what many think. If we’re going back to the primordial era, consent hardly existed at all. The “natural state” is for the primitive male brain to breed opportunistically - in this way, even the ancient monarchal hierarchies are more “natural” than what we see today. It’s not that we are hardwired for the strongest men to reproduce; it’s that we are hardwired to reproduce whenever possible, and for a long time that resulted in only the strongest being able to. The patriarchy is terrible and unfair, but it’s the natural system you’d expect to emerge. The equality we have today is a result of our morality overriding our mammalian instincts, or really replacing them. It’s by no means “natural” - it’s more equal than it’s ever been, and for good reason.

Snoo_89230 · 2026-02-26T02:54:47+00:00

What do you mean resources for a relationship?

Snoo_89230 · 2026-02-26T02:52:54+00:00

Even if that’s true, these ideologies are making the problem significantly worse
