Prayer is neither here nor there.

Sunday School 1 year agoFortunately the judiciary remains strong. The legislative is mostly for sale. Cabinet is sycophants central. Prez is central mental. Ruth should have stepped down during her life while a democrat was prez. Supreme court rubber stamps central mental.
I have been thinking about authoritarianism. Pretty sure it is a safe bet to assume the hard core…[Read more]

Random Posts 1 year agoWhat makes a bicycle stable. I always assumed it was the rider. However, it turns out that a moving bike (given even a little forward speed) is ridiculously stable on its own, no rider needed.

Also, how you execute a turn on a bike has been discovered…[Read more]

I know Trump would like the USA to be a dictatorship, because that would please his “ego the size of a planet”. But he’s probably not able to pull it off in the United States of America, because its defences are too strong. It remains a democracy, albeit he is busy politicising the machinery of government in his favour.

This highly-researched article maintains that there is no example in history of a peaceful throwing off of a dictatorship.
The article: I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.

The opening paragraphs:
In 1933, German conservatives thought they could control Hitler. Two years later, they were being…[Read more]

“Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effectively humane solution, such that even a huge asteroid wiping out that area naturally, i.e. sans human intervention, could have been better for humanity.”

Artificial Intelligence 1 year agoI once asked ChatGPT to tell me about the history of the rhythm “Oom, Pah Oom-Pah, Oom, Pah Oom-Pah”, and it actually knew immediately and exactly what I was asking about! And it jumped right into citing a bunch of musical history on that pop Latin rhythm.
Just as it once responded with some reasonable conclusions after I asked it to explain…[Read more] -

According to Joseph Henrich (“The Weirdest People in the World”):
The higher the percentage of people who believe in a contingent afterlife (hell and heaven) in a country, the lower the murder rate. By contrast, the greater the percentage of people who believe only in heaven, the higher the murder rate. That’s right, believing only in heaven…[Read more]

Interesting. Does the sociological sampling include organizations like ISIS/ISIL, or would one’s belief in “contingent afterlife” vary across belief systems?
I’m not arguing against the premise in general, because I think it makes sense. But since the ultimate judge is most commonly considered to be God, then what people consider God/Allah to want…[Read more]-
(OMG [sic], and what about the views of atheistic Jews?)

Atheistic Jews? Why Jews? Why not atheistic Greeks? Or atheists? Do Jews have to be singled out as nonhumans in every way possible?

Side-note, have to wonder if Trump considers virgins to be a perk (kinda rhymes with perp) in an afterlife.
-
I think it varies across belief systems, but after controlling for everything else, it’s the threat of hell and not the promise of heaven that keeps people in line.
-
I see what you mean. Do Isis believe in hell? They obviously don’t think it’s a sin to kill infidels.

Sunday School 1 year agoA wider Scope for Mr. Pope:
For what it’s worth, your generalization doesn’t apply to me.
I did mention once that some of Israel’s actions have the same outcomes as war crimes, but I don’t obsess over them, except for the Palestinian children who have no say.
Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effe…[Read more]
