Ah, so that’s why they mean by “the road to hell is paved with good in tensions”
Yeah, I absolutely agree. I think encouraging a scientific perspective (forming conclusions based on testing, while being open to the idea that those conclusions might change with additional testing) is incredibly important because it fosters the attitude that there are a lot of things we can’t know “for sure”, but we can be confident enough in our knowledge to take action, and humble enough to admit when we’re wrong.
You can get pretty far in life just by applying the scientific method and the golden rule.
Sorry about your friend. I hope that despite their distorted world view they’re still able to maintain healthy relationships and find/provide love and happiness, because at a personal level I think that’s the most important thing someone can achieve.
That’s wild, but I almost can’t blame some kids for their misconceptions. Stories about Captain America fighting Nazis blur “reality” in a weird way because stories can be interpreted both literally and symbolically.
Like, the idea of Captain America being a “real” bio-engineered person might not seem as crazy to a person after they learn about something like MKUltra lol
The more we advance science and technology the more plausible our fantasy worlds become. You can still differentiate through experience, but I’ll cut high schoolers some slack since they just haven’t had that experience.
From my perspective the world high schoolers are growing up in today seems even more fantastical and comicbook-like than the one I grew up in as a high schooler.
I probably should’ve used “ignorant” or “uneducated” instead of “stupid”.
What I was trying to say is that as long as people continue to have imperfect knowledge of the universe there will always be room for speculation/imagination.
Interesting idea, we’ll have to see how it plays out.
I called myself stupid in my own post, so I have no problem with other people reaching the same conclusion.
Believing something that is wrong can make people dangerous, and I think that’s cause for concern.
Atheists are more fun to talk to because they’re more concerned about having facts and truth to backup their beliefs. Whereas if I get high and troll religious people they’d just think I’m another normal Christian, lol
It’s cool how Mass Effect and Terminator could be seen as religious prophecies in some crazy future timeline.
Meowth was Schrodinger’s Cat the whole time and we never saw it because we were too busy with “more important things”.

“Uhhh… Living it?” - Jock
The eternal yin and yang of the virgin and the Chad binds us together.
They’ve tried that already and the results were “inconclusive” 🙄
“Sweet kibble from Heaven! They just materialized food and a bag for me to play with out of thin air! Truly the bipeds are deities!” - Mr Whiskers
My cat saw me as the one who can open doors to unexplored lands.
How do our brains process reality? Like this.
There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.
In order to solve that problem you need
Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to
Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.
Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.
That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.
Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.
I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.
I’ve never been diagnosed with PLMD, but it’s something I’ve experienced. My symptoms seem to be tied to stress. Managing my stress more effectively seems to help quite a bit.
