I’m skeptical of my assumption but I think this person died not only from the illness schizophrenia but because of the religion that fueled his illness. I theorize psychiatry isn’t wanting to approach religion as bad for some people but the

I'm wondering if anyone has been in a manager-less team. I would like to think that's possible and if so what was the experience like?

> If there's double predestination of that kind, then it's meaningless to say that society needs to change, as it's all predestined anyway. You're making an assumption regarding "meaningless" and that's

You don't realize that part of the system (the justice system) doesn't matter for the people that end up locked away. They didn't have any control in the outcome.

Double predestination, or the double decree, is the doctrine that God actively reprobates, or decrees damnation of some, as well as salvation for those whom he has elected. To answer your question, yes and I think society needs to change fo

I cannot make a choice that's truly my own when confined in a system and without my choice being effected by the system. More simply put everything is predetermined. So I think our sentencing is fundamentally too harsh when we're

I disagreed with your interpretation of what I wrote. I don't think it's worthwhile for me to have an opinion on what you're implying.

I used "born into wealth & good genetics" & "born into privilege vs misfortune" and I disagree with your interpretation.

People happen to do what's best for their offspring. Any kid that has parents doing the opposite will either be disappointed or angered. Being born into wealth & good genetics is already a huge advantage and society doesn't se

Something worth noting that likely gets ignored regarding the topic of climate change. Some of the population really doesn’t care if the world becomes inhabitable for humans after they die. As an optimist I’ve observed this outlook and I th

Alan Turing lived in an era where being murdered was arguably more probable for him than suicide (hard to know what happened). The name Apple being derived from the death of Turing is unlikely nonetheless.

Where are the statistics proving overall humanity is much better off? I'm doubtful anyone can prove "overall" humanity is better or worse than "x" generation. Also how do we measure it?

I do toy with that idea of how our thoughts are somehow stored elsewhere and contrary of our memories just being gone at death. I'm trying to make the concept work with the idea of eternal reoccurrence but it's hard to think of a

You would exist again and after you die from that theory for infinity. I'm confused how you associate existential dread with it?

One possibility is infinite Big Bangs. Universe expands until it reaches a point where it begins retracting, then reaches point where big bang happens and then it repeats all over again for infinity. Basically can result in our lives being

There is a difference between programming a robot to kill, compared to a human that had events happen (without will over them) and where the events almost led to a murder. The human isn't programmed to kill by those events but they alm
