The motivation for people’s sense of responsibility to comply with moral norms and behave morally arises from a complex interplay of psychological, social, and cultural factors. Below are some key motivators:

1. Empathy and Compassion

Innate Response: Humans are biologically wired for empathy, allowing them to feel the emotions of o…[Read more]

Can you try asking ChatGPT, what motivates people’s sense of responsibility to comply with moral norms and to behave in a moral fashion.

Here is where I am at with Chatgpt at the moment. My comment first:

The term ‘dark matter’ is a problem for me. I think “unobserved gravitational effects” might be a better term. This could be a gravitational anomaly caused by black holes.

Gravity (relational gravity) is not an independent Force. It is an emergent phenomenon arising from the int…[Read more]

This is another take on the topic….

The pseudoscience/apologist crowd always has so much to say about postulations in physics. If you gave them a simple quiz to calculate the weight of a 1 earth-pound brick sitting on the Martian surface, or magnetic field strength and direction created by a given energized coil for example, how many could do it? How many would even know where to start?

The video below goes into “gravity leaking between two or more braned universes” as a possible way to explain dark matter and/or dark energy. (Umm, I think?)

I checked with an LLM whether migrants crossing TX border were committing crimes at a higher rate than rest of us. As expected the answer is no. And if i recall it is much lower in terms of violent crime. Sickening demagoguery from Trump. But it is useful to him and works on his useful idiots. And from the progressives we only hear about cops…[Read more]

After the cowardly attack in New Orleans, Trump linked it to illegal immigration on an unsocial media post. He gave no evidence for this claim.

“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in the country … it turned out to be true…

He went on to claim that crime “is at a level that nobody has ever seen.”<…[Read more]

I was contemplating how things in US might play out if a spate of Muslim terror attacks ensue.

My thoughts meander. Coinciding as it would with a Trump administration that has already shamelessly endorsed nativism? Restrictions, restrictions. Very few Muslims would be permitted to immigrate, if any. Would Muslims who are already citizens be…[Read more]

Another Jihadist murdering people having fun. How Shocking.

The “we are in the club” vibe was huge in Catholic school. We are so fuckin HOLY around here; we got it made in the shade!

Jesus, the original NEPO baby.

A holy war was such as this just multiplies the Zionism and Jihadism. The weapons are the high sacrificial Muslim birthrates vs the Israeli war tech/economy. The actual struggle is that of the gods. There is just no way to achieve the prophesies without all the killing in the holy lands. The average Israeli is light years ahead of the average…[Read more]

It is the Zionist government that i despise. I am not a bigot. I judge individuals as individuals. And i judge fairly the government of Israel vis a vis other middle eastern governments.

But if you criticize the beliefs of Muslims you are a bigot and labeled islamophobic. STFU over any constructive sleight even if the calumny is in my mind alone…[Read more]

That is pure patriarchy in action.

It is a living breathing nightmarish expression of religious purity. It is not extreme. Just another outbreak of suppurating oozing righteous rapture. Divorced as it is from basic human impulses its victims languish in obscurity as the world turns its venom on Israel/Jews.

It is unimaginable that…[Read more]
