God’s priorities are weird, but they make me feel seen. :)
Uh, yeah, I thought that was the point? There’s nothing more maddening than looking at all the terrible things in the world and still deciding that living life is worth enduring.
You have to be divinely insane to accept all of the bad and all of the good that reality presents to us seemingly without any greater reason or purpose.
Mystery exists outside of the simple world of “good” and “bad”.
During the AI goldrush you can make your fortune selling bookshelves.
Can’t blame you. I put a Windows PC together again just so I could play Helldivers 2 a bit more consistently. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy your leisure time.
You’re all over the place, but I personally believe the biggest issue is people look at economic systems and ask things like “how can we maximize our production and consumption power?”
The “solution” is for everyone to come to an agreement on how much of something is “enough” and work forward from that baseline. This is incredibly difficult because people have different priorities, and getting people to agree on how much food, fuel, and infrastructure should be produced and consumed per capita would be a huge challenge. Capitalist economic systems allow people to more easily distance themselves from the moral problem of greed by saying things like “If I can make $5,000 that means I earned the right to consume $5,000 worth of goods.” But the real world “value” of making $5,000 from construction work on housing is vastly different than the value produced from selling a $5,000 NFT.
“There’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone.”
I think the questions you’re asking require the oversimplification of the real world to the point where even if someone gave you an “answer” it would be close to meaningless. Specifically, not everyones looks at changing geographic locations through a lens of pure economics.
There would still be class, but it would be based on things like social status and education instead of financial status.
More accurately there is no reality where “everyone is rich”. If everyone had equal wealth there would be no financial distinction that would allow you to classify “rich” or “poor”.
I think understand where you’re coming from, but this type of poem is exactly what needs to be spread in order to make “Christians” feel some cognitive dissonance about their hypocrisy.
I may be misinterpreting you, but it sounds like you’re trying to justify your hatred for a group of people because you believe in a “greater good”; some sort of better world that would exist if religion disappeared. That’s exactly the sort of mindset that christians and many others have used to justify their cruelty.
I agree with that sentiment. If it’s any consolation I think his “spirit” lives on in the work he helped create and in the people he inspired.
I remember seeing Fred read the news on his stone tablet.
I hope that at this point humans are in the process of realizing that killing the nukes is way more beneficial than killing their enemies with nukes.
Ah… Yeah. Idk. If I was god I’d make it so anyone who wanted to find me could find me through any path regardless of where they started at. Assuming “god” exists and is at least that benevolent then there’s nothing to worry about regardless of your religion.
I think if god exists it would design a system that would lead you to it if you wanted to find it. In which case religion wouldn’t have to be the only way to find god.
But I suppose I should ask what do you mean by the “way to god”?
In my opinion the only god worth thinking about is one that is beyond human comprehension. Once you restrict a god to only only following human logic god ceases to be interesting.
I always liked the ergonomics of the N64 controller. The recreation of those ergonomics using the Wiimote+nunchuk was one of my favorite things about the Wii lol
I organized my manga collection alphabetically. Does that count?
Sometimes it’s just fun to write fanfic regardless of who you think is stronger. If the characters have strong motivations good stories are bound to unfold.
