Genocidal maniacs and philanthropists are just two people with different ideas....

All the red pill capitalists, when their scarcity value disappears will then argue for voluntary punishment of people for no reason...simply because they believe you're supposed to suffer for no reason.

Yeah...whatever misery you are enduring....it could be worse....

Conservatives are strange people. Some guy went off on me about my interracial marriage. They are the danger they keep insisting we are. Weird people.

Thinking, talking, writing...planning, compiling, organizing...these are all actions and constitute DOING something.....

I'm not religious, but, I'm sure when he refers to morality he means justice and fairness...humanistic justice and fairness. He's not talking about loyalty and following orders.

Well, then never really existed in the hearts of poets....

Well...hmmm..uhhhh....I....smh.....🤷‍♂️...I could of skipped it, but I love Jean Paul....

Make life better, but make the best of what you have also....

Rates of change moving past each other give the stability we see in repeatability.

Just wrote this. I think it applies to this indirectly....if not it's just its own thing...😁

I could take a pile of words and drop them into a word container. Then I could reach in and grab a clump of words and line them up. Then I capitalize the first letter and put a period at the end.

An observer would read it and say “It’s just a bunch of random words that look like a sentence, but it doesn’t make any sense.”

Then I say: “It only has a message for those who believe.”

Then, if they are a "believer" they will start the process of piecing words together, extracting meaning, coming to conclusions.

Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.
— Niccolò Machiavelli

I'd think that is impossible because it ceases to be truth about something at some point and just becomes the thing.

The description of what “God” is, and “God” itself are the same thing. But that’s not how we create truth. Truth uses symbols or language to apply to a visible object or system. Then we can grade truth value by matching how well the symbols captured what we see. I’m proposing that “God” is both the language and the subject and just declares itself true with no standard. It simply can’t be truth, and since anybody can alter it, it’s also meaningless and worthless as a thing “God”. Fight me 😂

There's not enough evidence to say what "God" is, so of course I can't say there isn't one. THERE ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO BE AGNOSTIC.
