Women: asks you to critically investigate their body.

OP: chose to not to take the hint.

As a psych major I always push people towards the field, but I’m not versed on books that teach general critical thinking or philosophy. Do you have any specific titles that guided you? Fiction or non-fiction. I feel like the foundation was one of my favorites that taught utilitarian ethics.

I did not know that that was a book that existed. Thank you. I’ve read all the robot, empire and foundation books. Huge fan.

The Atheist Compendium has a nice ring to it. I’m well ready on all the major religious texts, atheist texts, etc. Combing opinions on what to include without saying what my library already includes is helping me to be unbiased in what to include. Helps me assess what is really necessary. If I end up labeling the tool the Atheist compendium I’ll reach out to cite you for the suggestion.

I would argue that Minecraft is not a “world” as much as an endless plane of generative content.

If I can run in a straight line around the circumference of the Gameworld and end up in the same place, then I would consider it a world. I don’t know of any games that do this on a earth like planet scale.

Abortion is a religiously mediated litmus test for politicians. As a Catholic, Biden’s personal religious delusions conflict with truly supporting the pro-choice stance. This isn’t something that will change soon. Voting Americans hate atheist/agnostic morality, and we are likely to get every single other denomination of president before we have an atheist one or even an agnostic one. (Wormald, 2014) The big issue is that abortion was not a political litmus test until subversive alt-right groups made it one after they failed to succeed with their segregationist ideologies. Just know that it all links back to creating a caste system where white, rich, and religious individuals are at the top. (Stewart, 2022)

When Harry gets hit in the face with the bricks, I loose my shit every time.

Not a shoe person, or a fan of long ads, but the way this video host described smelling a person, “oh you smell good. what is that smell? a good credit score…” That was a good quip/compliment that I’m going to use for the rest of my life. Keep up the good energy and reduce the ads time. You got a good style.

After reading Four Battlegrounds, by Paul Scharre, and Surveillance Capitalism, by Shoshana Zubuff, I have no faith that our government can protect us from the CCP or Silicon Valley. The CCP wants to have all of our biometric data so that it can profile us within it’s social credit system and thus stiffle our political opposition to authoritarianism. Silicon Valley tech companies exercise their unethical behavior modification techniques at scale to drive consumerist behaviors and as an offshoot they also drive massive amounts of people toward extremism. There seems to be no technically savvy intellectuals in government that can thwart these changes and I foresee a crisis event being the only wakeup call for us to drive change.
