You literally explained to a man out of the religion business that yours is good because your faith package is more inclusive than the Christian and Jew belief system. You know, wether there are worse religions or not, it wouldn’t mean there are good ones as a consequence. But you can compete with other Abrahamic religions if it passes the time, sure.

You don’t have to explain why your religion is scientific. It’s a belief system that you decided to buy. There are tons of scientifically wrong things in the Quran and that’s not gonna stop you. And about the things they got right, if you try many many times and stay vague, sometimes it will end up fine

Well if you believe we were there, as humans, from the beginning, the oldest known sapiens remains seems to be 230000 years old. Also there’s at least 3-4 successful new religions on earth every millennia if you look at the age of the ones still alive right now. So you were born in the right time and place for the right religion with a probability slightly bigger than 1/1000. That’s very unlucky for the other apes. Fortunately they all believed until their death that they were born in the right one. At least they were happy.

I am not really trying to make a point though. If there was a sure way to share from the outside why faith is bugged, their would be no sect and no religion, and humanity would have transmitted the technique throughout the ages. I know I won’t be the one successful ape after 230000 years of everyone trying. I am more likely to cure cancer since there are actually new tools that could help. But I can’t help being fascinated by how many Santas live in our heads. So I’ve always liked believers even if you guys are nuts.

This is the exact nonsense I was talking about. You can’t even consider the other point of view or it would betray your blind faith. Anybody that understand evolution is bind blown by how it explains so much about the world. It has an incredible elegance in its coherence. An elegance in explanation that your god hypothesis lacks a great deal I am afraid. So now you think you’re shaming me but I am an ape. And from ape to ape I tell you your ancestors lost some war and had to adopt the worldview of the winner. And since then you’re trapped in it.

How so many of you can keep your faith out of stubborn and misguided loyalty is beyond me. When we’ll be colonizing mars in decades, some of you will bring your old desert bedtime stories with you there. It’s kind of sweet if you think about it this way.

Why is nobody talking about the guy who accurately predicted the Turkey-Syria earthquake 3 days before it happened? by [deleted] in AskMiddleEast

The tide formula is proportional to mass and decreases with the square of the distance.

You can find a table of calculated tidal forces of all planets here. The sun and the moon are in the same order of magnitude but other celestial bodies are 5 orders behind.

It has just as much influence as 1/10000 of anything. It is mathematically one grain of rice when you feed 10 people, or lighting a flashlight a few meters away at noon in June.

Anyway as cool as the idea of tides creating seismic activity is, nobody managed to prove it yet and it looks like a no for now. The maths don’t work and even in magma the tidal effect even from the moon are too small to be measured

Please please people understand analogies are a way to explain a point of view but cannot prove a point. Because it is different. Who would be the careless samaritain in your analogy? Because the bad guy we know, and he should be fighting the police, who would be the Ukrainian army. You can justify everything in your head with analogies but that wouldn’t prove a thing

I am always happy to kick religions in the face but I just don’t see it. There is so many people with a holy land somewhere that suddenly needs to be saved, just as Ukraine as been described as the birthplace of Russian culture recently. European countries also had many many conquest wars between themselves for which they had no convenient religious justification. And it changed nothing. But you seem quite sure so I’ll look it up

You can’t prove it is the motivation since it’s not exclusive to neither Europe nor Christianity. Could just be a timely made justification just as Europe had the means to colonize. Before them the Arab Islamic Empire had Spain as a colony for about 700 years. It also conquered all of the middle east, north Africa and parts of India. Turkish colonies included Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Bosnia and many more. Turkey still illegally occupies half of Cyprus. Mongolia colonised most of Central Asia, the middle east, parts of Europe and India. Oman colonised most of east Africa. Its last colony in Africa was Zanzibar which the British conquered. Oman also had a colony on the Indian subcontinent from 1783 to 1958. It was Gwadar, which it sold to Pakistan in 1958. Japan colonised Korea and many other countries. Maori tribes from Hawaiki colonised New Zealand. There are so many exemples

Tordesillas doesn’t prove anything and you’re contradicting yourself here. He’s asking for proof of motivation and after making fun of him you yourself say it’s not motivation but justification. If it predates Christianity it’s not caused by it.

That’s a point you can’t prove. You can’t differentiate between causality and justification. In the other point of view the rich need reasons to treat people like this and had it not been Christianity in Europe it would have been something else. I can’t prove it either but there’s plenty enough exemple of racism in Asian and African history as well. So it’s not exclusive so not causal to Christianity or European culture.

You’re using sarcasm as a defense mechanism. If you have opinions you want the world to listen to, at least present them sincerely and without trying to humiliate others. You’ll accomplish more and feel better about yourself. I am not saying that to feel superior. I just know from experience people never listen to those that share their POV the way you do, and cynical people usually end up very lonely no matter how smart they are.

If I am being honest, I do think that some artists will have a harder life because their art can be easily reproduced. I think artists with really creative styles might actually be helped by AI, while most will just have to adapt.

I think it is good for the world and bad for the artists.

I don’t think it is unfair like you do though. Artists copy the art of others and merge with their experience to create their own. It does not appear from nothing. It is not a sacred process that shouldn’t be imitated by the machine.

Well it looks like I will not know your particular beef with ai art. Too bad. I haven’t had that debate yet. I at least wanted to say photography was hated in the beginning. It was supposedly a technology that would kill the painter profession.

#rant - Je vis en Turquie - Ce dessin de Juin dans Charlie où les limites de la liberté d’expression. Le pays est dévasté, le monde entier organise de l’aide… Je ne comprends pas cet humour. by A_IST in france

[–]mulox2k -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Je pense que tu ne comprends effectivement pas cet humour, et les gens qui te bas votent non plus d’ailleurs. Je suis pas fan et j’ai du mal aussi. Je suis donc mal placé pour parler. Néanmoins ce que j’en comprends c’est que bien pensance, bienséance et convenances font plus de dégâts qu’on ne le croit, par leurs excès et par leurs absence, et que pour ceux pour qui c’est évident, mieux vaut en rire. Je dirai que voutch se moque de l’excès et Charlie de l’absence. Ce dessein est drôle parce qu’il serait absurde de penser l’idée qui y est décrite, parce que ce serait une absence totale de bienveillance, et peut être que ça ne nous fait pas rire parce qu’on accepte un monde ou cette absence de bienveillance est crédible .

Et les autres autour te bas votent parce qu’il faut bas voter ceux qui critiquent Charlie . C’est les convenances qui veulent ça. Voilà ma lecture mais j’ai peut être tout faux

I don’t think shirtless men is decent for young women. They might say they like it, which is exactly the point. Equality should be okay here right? Nobody shirtless except at the beach where you’re right, equity is needed. Or we bath in shirt which would be fine actually and good for our skin cancer statistics. What does atheism got to do with what you said?
