I like this topic especially with the theory that wars are never fought over resources, they are always fought over status. These two can appear to be the same thing especially when it's impossible to separate the resource from the sta

Humans are also causing a planet scale extinction event. That's the opposite of intelligence by any philosophical definition.

What gives is the extra status we automatically pad to the idea of human intelligence to make ourselves feel special. Anthropomorphic padding.

a first? not so sure about that. What is propolis if not a tool? The little bugs dig out tree sap, mix it with saliva, and plug up holes in their homes to keep out cold and bugs and we have known about it forever. It's in our hippy sha

Fair. And agreed it's a weak argument to pick on zealots. I like your argument that all cultures have things in common. I don't argue that are all the same as in not a simpleton. I say that to me there are more similarities than d

Agreed, science excels are building objective reality. However I'd propose that it does come at the expense of subjective reality. So most people believe in God while most reject climate change. To your second point, it was similar whe

Here: the scientufic world view is pretty clear on the abortion issue, yet whole voting blocks reject right to choose and often scientific discourse altogether simply on this issue. And we know it as fact: people don't vote based on sc

Agreed. What I'm saying to ask tho is what are the strengths if religion? Because science is failing us very seriously in certain cultural regards.

by tehchromic 6y ago
I understand this full well. I'm speaking in the context of that you'd are calling scientism because I think it's the dominant religion of our times. An example is this slogan: "I believe in science". We might say w

Well enjoy the discussion. I don't find it disagreeable. I'd say that as a science of authority the theory is clear to those who seek to benefit from the cultural practice. A hypothesis such as "there is only one God" is

Spoken like a true believer! I'm teasing you and I'm sorry if it is offensive. But your are right that a characteristic of scientific culture is relative flexibility. What I'm saying attention to is where that famous ability

Well I'm not joking. Religious methodology in building a belief generating technology was more organic than we like to think of science today, however it followed the same format as all scientific methodology: observation, question, hy

I don't mean to argue with you. If you say religion can't be fact based and aren't open to any alternate view that's scientific cultural dogma, in my opinion but also that's dogma by definition. If science can have

True in a very general sense, although you'd have to exclude religions where such things are allowed to say that accurately. Agreed that this is the dominant narrative in global culture. However my point is that science appears to be f

Wwll, same for religion. What I'm saying is, what's wrong with a circus? I think they are pretty interesting.

by tehchromic 6y ago
Respectfully I'd say you've underscored my point. Your statement that "scientific worldview, which is diametrically opposed to religious culture" is itself a dogma, which is one of the features of religion you claim to h

What's completely senseless to me is how absolutely proponents of the scientific world-view reject it's similarity to religious culture. To me it looks exactly the same, and this article while excellent and amusing fits perfectly

I know and it caused me to think about this whole article in terms of Sacha's art which is surely an extraordinary synthesis of systematic and emotional thinking in the field of comedy.

Call it a mutational disorder if you will, I think I'm nocturnal mutant and proud of it. Use of the the word "disorder" throughout is highly retrograde and silly. It's part of the human genome and like all genetic mutati

I can appreciate that no one wants to hear cautionary words about our loftiest ambitions. However, I believe it's worth reflecting carefully on the topic. One way to look at the dream of escaping the planet and colonizing space is in m

It sounds like an oxymoron. Given the meaning of hacking today it seems a computer by definition is hackable - if you can't hack it what's the point? There's surely some mathematical way to prove that the usefulness of a comp

Because beekeeping and ping pong are more fun! That said, I'm interested in farm integrated gaming. I think there are ways to make automation adventurous. Properly this will be different than what we call gaming today, however I think

keeping in mind that certain forms of inflexibility are vital to the structure of an organism. Bones for example. Or in the case of the human super organism, ecological stewardship, which was the original subject of the religious sciences.

IMhumbleO the redundancy is at issue, because CSS is simply nested key pairs and so say that HTML should handle only text and tagged divisions in text with IDs and classes, and leave all the semantics up to the sheets. Folks who point out t

I am not sure we are going to be able to understand each other. I find your thoughts to be completely missing a foundation that I'm thinking would be necessary to understand what I'm saying. I don't mean to be rude ... Yes of
