    Ask the humanoid

    That's very bold of you when you consider how many misconceptions there are about schizophrenia. I have friends who are psychotic and they're awesome people. (might as well mention that I also have general anxiety and OCD but find that more bothersome and I don't really like to talk about it as...

    I have Asperger's specifically, which is no longer diagnosed separately from autism in general. I always tended to call myself an "autistic person", anyways - "person with Asperger's" is too medical, "Aspie" is too cutesy and I like showing solidarity with people elsewhere on the spectrum. Some...

    Is Buddhism atheistic?

    Buddhism is apatheistic, I think. Belief in gods is viewed as irrelevant to the central question of suffering.

    Networks of self-sufficient communes. Food would be produced locally thru permaculturally methods - there would be no factory farming or monocrop agriculture. Transportation that uses fossil fuels would be phased out and eventually eliminated. Expect more dirt and brick roads, more bicycles and...

    Ask the humanoid

    I was gonna start an interview thread about anarchism, since I'm an anarchist and it's not very well-understood. Or I was gonna start an interview thread about autism, since I'm autistic and it's not very well understood. Or I was gonna start an interview thread about synesthesia, since I'm a...

    Ask Me Anything (Even That)!

    Within the context of paganism, are you interested in a specific tradition or pantheon?

    How many Pagans believe their deities created the universe?

    Aren't there multiple views on the issue in Hellenic and Roman antiquity? Like, Aristotle believed in a prime mover, but the oldest narratives start with the primordial chaos.

    To Those Who Think Anal Sex is Sinful - A Poll

    protip for the misinformed: disgust is an aesthetic judgment, not an ethical judgment. Personally, I find soggy food disgusting. Doesn't make it evil or "unnatural" or whatever.

    DS, Smart Guy, and Godobeyer Go Fishing

    I kinda feel like @Nietzsche would steer the boat off course to go sack villages and raze monasteries...

    To Those Who Think Anal Sex is Sinful - A Poll

    Not all opinions are equally valid. "The world is flat" is an opinion. "All other races are inferior" is an opinion. Are you trying to state an aesthetic preference, or make a factual claim? Those are two very different things.

    Bernie supporters: He wins and the Democrats take back the Senate, then ...

    I don't see how that any of that would make him a jerk, tho. Character-wise he seems like a really honest, forthright dude without much hostility towards anybody.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Hm, curious what you mean by antirealism in this context? Idealism, skepticism?

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    OK, this is gonna spin your head around some. What if I told you that I'm a theist who rejects teleological arguments?

    Bernie supporters: He wins and the Democrats take back the Senate, then ...

    How so? He focuses almost entirely on policy, without the mudslinging of other candidates' campaigns.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Philosophical absurdism is not the same thing as something being "absurd" in the colloquial sense. Believing the world to be absurd (i.e. random, without inherent meaning) is not the same thing as supporting an absurd (i.e. silly, irrational) worldview. You're playing word games here.

    The Teleonomic Worldview of Atheism vs. The Teleological Worldview of Theism

    And nihilism, for that matter.

    What is Your Understanding of Oneness?

    Full oneness would be Advaita or a similar nondualist pantheism. idk if I believe in that, tho I find the concept very intriguing. My worldview is more focused on pluralism than oneness, but there is a certain oneness in that I believe that matter and spirit are basically a spectrum as opposed...

    To Those Who Think Anal Sex is Sinful - A Poll

    Is that by total numbers, or per capita? As a mostly gay pansexual/bi dude, it seems kinda counter-intuitive to do that with a cis woman. But that's just my personal opinion; sexual desire is very subjective.

    To Those Who Think Anal Sex is Sinful - A Poll

    No, the prostate is very explicitly a sexual organ which is essential to male orgasm and is linked to the penis etc. And it doesn't even get that stimulated from pooping, I'm pretty sure. If that was the point I don't know why it would specifically be present in one biological sex and why it can...
