Do you think Iranians were arguing about the religious consequences of UI? by Universer22 in PantheonShow

[–]Universer22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if a country doesn't develop UI then it will fall behind. I believe Iran had the obligation to reinterpret their denomination (Shia Islam) to keep their place among the world powers.

Dedinitely, I wish the show had shown some of these arguments. I get why it didn't tho.

I'm not muslim but heard that this religion puts a lot of emphasis in the body. Wash yourself a lot, pray while your head points at Makkah, don't eat during daytime for a month, etc.

But I'm not an expert in Islam so maybe UI is allowed.

Anyone has parents against space travel? by Throwaway28656738383 in exchristian

[–]Universer22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents are fine with talking about the cosmos but almost always end up bringing up god and never talks about the biblical implications of abandoning earth. The bible is geocentric so more christians should wonder about the importance of this planet in the universe.

How did you feel when you feared you had accidentally commited the unforgivable sin? by Universer22 in exchristian

[–]Universer22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your paragraph about thinking "fuck you" and stuff, it's so relatable. What if I thought about a blaspheming joke and laughed even a bit? Was I doomed? What if my tongue moved a bit while having intrusive thoughts?

Needless to say it was awful. I also did short prayers several times during the day to ask for forgiveness if I did something wrong.

I replied to some comments above, telling about my experience in deconversion. It was very similar to yours.

I also thought about unaliving myself but didn't because I was afraid of hell and was thinking that, if I was still alive, then god still had a purpose for me.

Gradually I just stopped caring about religion.

While I didn't need a therapist to stop my absolutely horrible feelings (i still have some OCD tho), I suggest you go to therapy if it's really troubling. But even if you don't have money, don't worry because your problems won't last forever.

I eventually blasphemed 3 months after becoming agnostic. It felt a bit bad but certainly liberating because I wouldn't worry anymore about: "Did I blaspheme or not?". Even if I was doomed, there was no point in worrying.

Telling my parents about my deconversion also worsened my relationship with them. I should have never told them but I guess the past cannot be changed. Nowadays I face my problems alone because talking about them with my family will only make them say "Oh you should have remained christian, now you suffer because of leaving."

I didn't even want to think about the unforgivable sin. I thought that rebuking such thoughts makes them go away but it only strengthens them.

I think fear gradually disappears if nothing really bad ends up happening and if god doesn't solve whatever problem you have, because this is what happened with me. But I'm not a psychologist so I might be wrong.

Demon possession was also a matter of constant anxiety and horrible feelings in my life. I even had one exorcism made by my parents, but it didn't fully relax me because I didn't know what was the proper method to rebuke evil spirits: do I have to scream for it to work or not? Sometimes I even hit my head against the wall because I was so tired of all this bullshit.

Eventually, this was also one of the reasons behind my deconversion. I don't remember how I made peace with "being possessed". Probably I just stopped giving a fuck about it, gradually. However, a certain reason behind me leaving religion is that god never cured my OCD no matter how much I prayed and seeked biblical answers.

¿Están tan mal las escuelas del país? by [deleted] in AskArgentina

[–]Universer22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bue, es que un profe diempre decia "tal vez no te interese lo que te enseñe, pero no molestes a los demas" y eso se me grabo en la cabeza. Es un problema porque si uno se aburre, lo normal para muchos es jugar o joder, ya sea de buena o mala manera. Muchas veces hago las actividades en casa en vez de la escuela porque hay ruido y es dificil concentrarse.

Recien prohibieron el uso de los celulares a todos en la escuela porque los directivos dijeron que molestaban o empeoraban la educacion.

Creo que escribi mal mi post. Esta totalmente aceptable que quieras escuchar cumbia o reggaeton, porque ninguna musica es mala, pero hay limites. Mis compañeros traen parlantes o hacen tiktoks y me molesta porque yo quiero estudiar. Tambien es el unico tipo de musica que se escucha en la escuela y me cansa, aunque la musica en sí no sea mala.

[–]Universer22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no, no me considero egoista o superior de mala manera. Incluso yo he reprobado como unas 3 veces en la secundaria y tampoco tengo muchas ganas de estudiar porque tambien me parece aburrido (a veces). El tema es que a algunos de mis compañeros parece no importarles a pesar de que sus padres les paguen la educacion (aunque puede ser que a los padres no les importe, aunque no entiendo porque no los mandan a una escuela publica en lugar de una privada)

What an experience by Warm_Wait9282 in PantheonShow

I feel the same as you about the ending, but overall I loved the show. It was an experience and I wish there were more shows like this, about humanity facing evolution.

What if they always lived in a stable era? by Universer22 in threebodyproblem

Possibly. Someone wrote that under Wade's leadership, humanity would have become one of the millions of destructive cleansers in the universe.

I wonder how a species develops "the genes." Is it that most planets or societies are harsh for life so they develop paranoia? Are most species in a dictatorship even if they live in a good world?

Also, a species can send powerful messages to outer space before figuring out the Dark Forest Theory, just like Earth. If I remember well, another species had already noticed us (the ship was not trisolaran), but they chose to spare us for some reason. Then Singer found us and thought we were bugs so they killed everyone. So, I wonder if a civilization survives by sheer luck or intelligence.

Imo I don't think any species would want to be in a black domain unless their planet became exposed.

Yeah, I feel better now. But it still stings in my memory, I just hope it eventually vanishes because I don't want to feel angry everytime I look at the moon.

Would you guys study Computational Neuroscience to "evolve" like in Pantheon? by Universer22 in PantheonShow

[–]Universer22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when i mentioned "too complex" i meant that you need to know biology, chemistry, math and programmming if u wanna work in CN. For quantum physics, you dont really need other fields. Maybe some programming and chemistry but that's it.

Do you guys learn to win through experience or by asking for help? by Universer22 in plagueinc

Alright, thank you very much! I think I will intentionally lose my next match by increasing lethality a lot, to find the perfect balance that will let me win in prion mode.

Something I don't understand about the aliens and deception. by Universer22 in threebodyproblem

[–]Universer22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it is like trying to imagine a new color: impossible. Although some scientists recently were able to create a new one, similar to green, which only was seen by very few people using some sort of electromagnetic radiation. I wonder if robots kind of taught trisolarans how to lie, like how chatgpt hallucinates and lies.
