    Division between those who want religion / any belief to simplify the world vs. complicate it

    Though it seems like action and purpose do sometimes relate to one another You've lost me a little bit. Every state you have, you believe in something. A mixture of doubt and faith, sometimes with more doubt, sometimes with more faith - maybe that explains this

    Division between those who want religion / any belief to simplify the world vs. complicate it

    Yes.. and whoever went through life never wanting an explanation for anything. And yet in a way, I sometimes feel like people also head in that direction.

    Division between those who want religion / any belief to simplify the world vs. complicate it

    It occurred to me a moment ago, that one either rests on a belief to relax some of the uncertainty, or one wants 'greater' answers from it. And this would apply to both a religion, and areas more toward atheism. It either allows you to complicate what you thought was simple, or make simpler what...

    Define Christianity

    It is another avenue paved by God, among others, which are eventually to be synthesized and fused together in the future, I would think. The same God made multiple religions , just as a painter does not paint a single painting.

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    The people who have the power to initiate a nuclear war should be more psychologically stable than other people, so that they decide that doing so is evil, using their free-will to decide that it is.

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    Competing elites, maybe confusion, misunderstandings, disagreements regarding how the world should be run between blocks

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    I think if we believe in Free-will, then that overrides all prophecy, even if they have a magnetic control on human attention. Free-will is the human tool to override the tests of god, and the will of other people

    A better than average synopsis of the Israel/Gaza conflict (?)

    eh, I don't know, it's really unfortunate, but it seems like property has been contested there for a long time. War goes back and forth. I don't really understand why. I wonder about what the population density conditions are there, my idea of it is that most people live in tight quarters. And...

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    this thing seems to have something to do with a possible circumstance where we are the first to be hit, if you read the second paragraph: Boeing E-6 Mercury - Wikipedia If it's EMP resistant, and I guess even if all the ground options were gone, it might still control the subs. If it can still...

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    I guess I kind of envision a world of endless ruins, where the communication networks are all shut down, and people band together in gangs of about 100 to pick over the scraps. Very dystopian. Parts of the horizon seem to have a perpetual red glow, as motorcycle gangs rip down around radioactive...

    US prepares for threat of joint Chinese, Russian and North Korean nuclear strike

    Well I probably think people would survive, maybe not you or me, but all nations probably have people they want to try and retain for the aftermath. The question is, what kind of conditions will those people face. Probably multiple problems I would guess, from irradiated tracts of land and...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    What I think I concede to you, is a point that modern communication tech can accelerate social reactions, and sure, one of those could be hate. I think people can be trained not to hate however, and resist it, and if they can't, then I'm not sure what hope there is for the human race itself. I...

    Books are media, but not everyone interprets the bible for example, in an anti-social way.

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    For example, if i met any random person on earth, I couldn't possibly guess what their particular religious belief was. Why? Because humans vary wildly on that - they perceive the basic input of reality, that we all share in being in contact with, in unpredicable ways. This is because belief...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    Just to be clear though Shadow Wolf, what responsibilities do you believe the individual has in perceiving media, and what can they learn? Can these questions be answered with some degree of precision?

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    I wasn't saying it was way of explaining the world, if I understand myself correctly, I was wondering if it was a way of dealing with a world that is now apparently increasing its resolution of communication tech, although I don't know how much farther they can upgrade it from here. (maybe...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    So you are criticizing it as a conduit perhaps, that can move information quicker, and with more potential dilution than was perhaps present in previous times? While this is concerning, I also find a lack of human training to be concerning, regarding how social media is to be consumed. Is a...

    Having Children and my thoughts on why people are deciding not too.

    And just one more note though, I believe population replacement rates are dynamic. They can bounce back, when conditions return. But very often when people talk about birthrates being low, they talk about it dire terms. Like, Japan has a 'massive problem' or something, because of this, but no I...
