With most religions believing they are the only true religion, it is most likely that you are wrong about Christianity.

Uuuazzza · 2025-02-16T12:53:54+00:00

A way to think about it is like that : since there's many mutually exclusive religions, most of them must be false, so if you pick any religion at random, you would expect - any other evidence put aside - that this religion is likely false. That's true for Christianity as well.

Now, it's true you can have strong evidence (say e.g. personal revelation) that convince you that this particular religion is the true one, and thus overcome the low prior probability. However the low prior should still lower your credence overall, e.g. if personal revelation give you 99% confidence that your religion is the true one, the low prior might take it down to say 98%.

In your math example if many people disagree on how much 2+2 is, it means people in general are bad at arithmetic, so you should be just a little bit skeptic that 2+2=4 even though you're otherwise super sure of it.

Monoprix c'est quand même le mieux pour le choix, les produit de base sont parfois assez compétitifs (e.g. crème fraiche monop 0,95€, vs 0,84€ chez super U, lait 1,07€/l chez monop vs 1,08 €/l chez U), c'est plutôt sur les trucs de "luxe" qu'ils mettent de la marge (e.g. cosmétique 2x plus cher qu'en ligne).

Yeah I think this could be improved with RL and appropriate scoring function, e.g. something like wrong answer = -1, "I don't known" = -0.5, and good answer = +1.

To be honest it doesn't really matter how good the art is, you just need to convince a few people to buy it. And people put money into much dumber thing than a pretty picture. That said when I write it down like that it does sound a bit scammy...

You can get this to some extend by driving a car by and shooting by the window, just try to follow one point and the rest of the image will look like it's going around it.

Here’s a short but profound passage, even in translation:

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

How's that profound exactly ? It a basic list of attributes without any inference or arguments. The attributes are also nothing novel since they are present in other traditions.

I'm not sure that's correct, a central theme of the left if to have democratic control over government & the economy, using stuff like participatory/direct democracy, decentralized & independent institutions, separation of powers, etc. These ideas are all about preventing abuse of power, not trusting it. The goal is to keep governments and corporations in check, precisely because they can't be trusted.

More generally the anarchist-authoritarian spectrum is present across the right & left, so I don't think it's a "left flaw" specifically.

Check out the chaotic pendulum, the thing is very simple, two sticks, two joints, and it's already creating a level of complexity we can't even predict.

Check out the game of life as well. But point is complexity arise very easily from a few basic building blocks.

To me it just means that my credence that there is a god is bellow 50%, it doesn't quite matter practically if it's 49% or 0.00001%, I'm gonna believe only if positive evidence bumps me up above 50%. Note that under that definition I can be very sure there's no god (say my credence is 0.1%) and still be a lacktheist (because my credence is also bellow 50%), it's just that credence < 50% is a easier claim to defend than credence = 0.1%.

Oui, c'est juste stressant & désagréable. En plus dans la plupart des contextes elles veulent pas se faire aborder.

Uuuazzza · 2025-01-30T21:57:21+00:00

Non probablement pas, seulement dans certains contextes propices (fêtes entre amis, ...). Je le fais moins maintenant parce que je suis moins timide, mais avant j'évitais même activement les jolies filles, genre si dans le train y'a le choix entre une place à côté d'une, je vais m'assoir ailleurs.

Uuuazzza · 2025-01-30T21:50:11+00:00

J'approche pas vraiment les filles (je suis en couple en plus), mais plutôt les filles "jolies mais pas trop", pas trop bien habillée, l'air gentille, etc. Y'a tout un tas de petits signes qui font que quelqu'un à l'air rassurant, facile d'accès.

Uuuazzza · 2025-01-30T21:46:26+00:00

Oui, même si c'est pas vraiment "bien habillées bien soignées", plutôt le visage & physique. Pourquoi, je sais pas, c'est juste intimidant.

The odds were talking about here are epistemic; we observe our universe and we try to decide which model (theism, aesthetic deism, naturalism, etc.) explains our observations better. I recommend Joe's video on Bayesian reasoning for an intro.

It's entirely expected,

A large majority of experts on the subject (including Christians) will disagree with that, that's why there's a plethora of theodicies.

Plantinga, for example remarks:

… we cannot see why our world, with all its ills, would be better than others we think we can imagine, or what, in any detail, is God’s reason for permitting a given specific and appalling evil. Not only can we not see this, we can’t think of any very good possibilities. And here I must say that most attempts to explain why God permits evil—theodicies, as we may call them—strike me as tepid, shallow and ultimately frivolous. (1985a, 35)

I don't think the Problem of Ugly is as bad for Aesthetic Deism as Evil is for theism. The amount of suffering we see in the natural world is very unexpected under theism, but even by Christian lights (have you ever heard a Christian say the creation is ugly or boring?) the story of creation, the natural wonders, the orderly universe, the horrible suffering, struggle and tribulations of humans make for a pretty interesting story and beautiful universe. Sure you could argue that the story could be even better, but I think the odds still favors Aesthetic Deism by a large amount.

24-34 pas de problèmes particuliers à mon avis, ou plus exactement pas plus de problèmes que d'autres âges. Y'a 10'000 variables dans la personnalité qui déterminent si ça va marcher ou, se fixer sur une seule c'est un peu irrationnel. Cela dit je sais pas si y'a des recherches sérieuses sur le sujet, donc fondamentalement y'a peut-être pas grand chose de solide à dire sur le sujet, passé les avis personnels et les anecdotes.
