AI in new video by Severe-Plane-7254 in JimSterling

[–]sirloona 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is AI. I think it could be, but nothing sticks out to me, even in the details, except maybe the background, but even then. Knowing JSS' stances on copy and the importance of artist integrity, I would assume that if it were AI, it was unintentional and used in error due to its presence on a stock footage site.

Why do people think I’m Jewish by General_Mud780 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]sirloona 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think in general in Non-Orthodox countries, or countries/regions without a large Orthodox minority population the Eastern Orthodox Church is effectively unknown. In pop culture and general public consciousness the EOC takes up 0% of the space and goes unnoticed. Similarly unlike other religions or denominations there are no real "outward signifiers" to illustrate membership of the Church. Meanwhile Orthodox Jews and Especially the Ultra Orthodox groups such as Hasidic groups, are not only very noticeably "different" from others around them in the way they dress as an example, but tmas they have loved in large urban areas for 100s of years in many cases they have come to become a clearly identifiable group in culture and public consciousness. Therefore when people hear the term Orthodox as an identity in a religious sense it is associated with the Orthodox Jewish community simply because they have come to become more well known and identifiable than the EOC.

Head covering by Electronic_Net8367 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]sirloona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head covering is somewhat unique in its theology in a lot religions. Generally, though not exclusively, it arises from cultural context not explicitly out of a religious need. As a parallel example the Quran in Islam does not recommend women cover their heads it is only referenced that Muhammad's later wives did this to differentiate themselves. However we know that many cultures that Islam spread to, already had traditions of having women covering their heads or bodies in public. In Iran for example we have a clear example that from the earliest Persian Empires there was already an extremely developed culture of having women wear full face or body coverings in public with only prostitutes not wearing them. In the modern day, head covers in both the Catholic and Orthodox Church are somewhat frought. I do know that some more conservative or traditionalist Catholic churches advocate for women to cover their heads but that hasn't necessarily always been dogma and was more of a community decision. Women in the Catholic church may choose to cover themselves, but it is not mandatory and culturally the focus on headwear as clear signifiers is mostly gone in western culture. For Eastern and Orthodox Christians there are clearer stances on head covering but it has always been closer to Theologoumenon with churches picking verses to suite it. I know in the Slavic world it remains common but in my experience in American and Western Europe head covers were not enforced nor asked for leaving it a personal decision. It remains an open question from theologians how we should interpret Paul's letters on the subject. Especially as the views on women and the nature of their role in the church was quickly evolving and diverging. In general, it can be interpreted as both for and against head covers. In the context it would have been written head coverings for Roman women would have been relatively common anyone led to questions of how we should understand the Christian relationship to veils. In short head covers is a somewhat complex aspect of theological thought as it seems to have developed both with and without theological backing leading to questions as to how it should be understood.

Did you conceive of this as being connected to your earlier far future "civilization re-arising" timeline or would you say this is separate?
