Ragdoll Xwhy do religious zealots keep doing this...
š“šššShame and peer pressure are outsourcing ethics and never independently developing character.

How oddā¦ Youāre not the first person whoās told me that Catbox links arenāt working either, I wonder whatās up with that.
Anyways, Iāve changed the link so hopefully itāll load now.
Iāve had problems with catbox on tor browsers personally but not Waterfox.
Someone that fucked Elon should really keep ideas about morality out of their fucking mouth
PeppycitoElon doesnāt fuck, his dick is a bent twig. He has the fucked by mail order.
People always told me that Grimes was super smart, but every time she opens her mouth, itās some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. She is the guy we all knew in high school, the one who takes mushrooms and stares at Tool album covers, and expects the rest of us to pretend they are brilliant.
This chick literally wrote an open letter to communists, saying that if they support Elon Musk, he will use AI to bring a communist system.
If she were to ever shut up, it may dawn on her that she is actually a fucking idiot, and we canāt have that, so she never shuts the fuck up.

"It is worth repeating at this point the theories that Ford had come up with, on his first encounter with human beings, to account for their peculiar habit of continually stating and restating the very very obvious, as in āItās a nice day,ā or āYouāre very tall,ā or āSo this is it, weāre going to die.ā
His first theory was that if human beings didnāt keep exercising their lips, their mouths probably shriveled up.
After a few months of observation he had come up with a second theory, which was thisāāIf human beings donāt keep exercising their lips, their brains start working.ā
Is that Vonnegut?

Also good!
Sheās very good and talented at music, and I stand behind that. But as youāll know if you see anything about personal lives of musicians l, it doesnāt automatically make her good at anything else.
Oh believe you me, I 100% stand by the first 10 years of Kanye, and artistsā donāt have the right to ruin nostalgia for our youth. We are not obligated to stand by old men or women just because they did cool things in their youth.
Soā¦ a female Joe Rogan, essentially?
Having a god reign over some heads is a useful tool against those who donāt share the same values, but fear the existence of a higher power.
As always, itās about lacking control and the frustration that comes with.
zibIf fear of divine retribution is your only reason for being a good person, then you are not a good person.
āWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.ā
Emphasis my own. Yes there is a self evident morality, you donāt need God to tell you whatās right and wrong.
To be fair, theyāre also saying that itās self-evident that our rights are given to us by a ācreatorā. Which isnāt true.
Your mama didnāt give you rights?

GladaedThere are good things that are less intuitive about eg. Christian values such as forgiveness. You get as many chances as you need and are still worth saving no matter what you have done wrong.

No matter what?
Did you read the letter he sent?
I mean sure, but thatās not exclusive to Christianity; forgiveness can be learned anywhere, including through lived experience. Yes Christianity features forgiveness prominently, but it also prominently features fish and certainly you donāt you can only acquire seafood from the pious.
So practically you can appreciate and accept the philosophical lessons offered by Christianity while still rejecting the Christianity of it all in the same way that you can appreciate and endorse live music by buying tickets through Ticketmaster while also criticizing Ticketmaster for all of the awfulness they unnecessarily bring into the concert-going experience.
There was just a case where a woman gave birth to a baby in the woods, left it there and left for a vacation. If it werenāt for the family dog desperately trying to save the baby and getting noticed by a stranger, nobody would have ever known as even the rest of the family was defensive of the woman.
This shows morality is not only not an exclusively trait but not even an exclusively human trait.
I am not sure that I agree that the dogās behavior necessarily demonstrates āmorality.ā I am not a biologist or anything, so I could be way off baseā¦ But is it not possible that the dog was acting on instincts to protect newborn offspring? Similar to when animals āadoptā babies from other species as their own?
Morality implies that the dog did a thing because itās āthe right thing to do,ā when in reality, it might have just been a self-preservation instinct kicking in.
Just my (again, non-expert) thoughts.
They didnāt say the dog was being moralā¦
You can remove the argument from morality safely from your answer just by stating the dog acted upon instinct, based off the notion dogs are pack animals, that have a closely knit symbiotic relatioship with human, which can be used to in favour of the dog finding a newborn activated the instinct of preserving their pack.
The way you approached the subject can be easily side tracked through arguing you are atributting self interest to the animals actions, as in, it keeps the newborn alive, thus, their own preservation is assured.
If acting on true self interest, the dog should have allowed the newborn to die.
Side note: who discards a newborn in such calous way? How unbalanced is the person?
If acting on true self interest, the dog should have allowed the newborn to die.
Thatās not necessarily true. No more human offspring means no more symbiotic relationship.
No offspring, closer symbiotic relationship, with more resources available.
Maybeā¦ Weāre overthinking it and itās just a āprotect babyā instinct.
And that is a very possible scenario.
Zealots judging by the news coming out of america do not care about such trivial details as āfactsā, āmedical scienceā and ābehavioral scienceā. It is unnecessary for them to take that into consideration.

x00zI think her argument was that religion offered an easy way to make moral choices.

SpaceCowboyReligion provided people with a sense of community. Without it, theyāve been finding community on the internet which has resulted in people believing in all kinds of strange things. Significantly stranger than there being a metaphysical consciousness in the universe.
Religion, while not perfect, often tries to encourage people to be better. Of course religion can be corrupted by politics at times, and weāre certainly in one of those times. But the general concept of people coming together and encouraging each other to be better isnāt a bad thing.
Internet groups are worse than religion, many of them are devoted towards hating an enemy and unlike religion, make no effort to encourage people to better themselves. Religion can often fail at this goal, but most internet groups make no attempt to be better than a failed religion. Case in point: [email protected]
Grace for one, not the other. I see.
Switch religion for internet groups in your comment and youāll be baffled at your hypocrisy.
If we can kill God, then it wasnāt God that we killedā¦
A_Random_IdiotThis is the fact that is so often overlooked because its too goddamn inconvenient for them to acknowledge.
God is the all-powerful creator of the universe, all of the black holes and quasars, all of the laws of physics, the architect of the very Beginning and End of All Thingsā¦ but He is in constant danger of destruction by a bunch of hippies and nerds.
Welcome to the rise and celebration of immortality. Pornstars, OF, open drug markets\junkies, and general San Fransisco culture.
All of those things are only problematic in excess, and are mostly excessive because of capitalism. Theres nothing immoral about sex or drugs.
There is definitely something immoral about open air drug markets, junkies lying in the streets, glorification of sex workers and prostitution, and blaming it on ācapitalismā is an easy way to not accept responsibility for your societal shortcomings.
I think zealot answered that. It seems that people who can't manage themselves and their worst impulse want to manage others.
Grimes and musk believe the AI is God. So thereās a good chance context is missing here on purpose because sheās aware enough to not go full crazy.
Bring back God = build the AI.
they donāt believe in god, so thereās no belief in AI.
let me sum it up for you in a few words image they are the thoughts of our oppressors.
I am a god.
TBF, an overgrown autocorrect is more real to me than god, and in my opinion itās the more sane option to worship.
gandalf_der_12teThe way i understood it was that itās a difference in organization of society. Some people can find meaning themselves, without needing somebody else to tell them what to do. Some people just need to be told what to do.
Some people find their meaning in telling others what to do.
āYour religion isnāt the same as morality.ā - Britta Perry
There are plenty examples of religious leaders raping and killing children and other offenses. But I guess they are above it all then?
I now see why she was stupid enough to get with elmo.
Those two deserve each other.
