bbyrd009 replies on Dec 17, 2020:
@The-Krzyz my reply to that would be that pretty much any metric you could formulate can be quantified. I used to refer to morality.com for these, but they seem to have recently gone religious, so im a bit at sea there at the moment, but the metrics i recall were pretty much consensus-based, or so it seemed to me? Anyway, to avoid bias, you could identify your metric beforehand, and then go look for data on it. The ones that spring to mind were like violent crime, famine, standard of living (hmm) but like that.
my main takeaway was that subjective experience does not = objective experience, but id like to point out here that believers are all pretty much universally moaning about life here/now, waiting for Jesus to take them away, etc, and the pov strikes me as...um, Gnostic, at the very least?
i mean you gotta admit "massive cosmological churning and destruction" is pretty subjective too eh? Completely gnossis; based upon facts that we have discovered, and not real-world daily experience?

Is Social Distancing Weakening Our Immune Systems?
bbyrd009 comments on Oct 16, 2020:
of course it is, if your immune system has never been exposed to a germ then it cannot develop immunity to it. But you may certainly rely on an allopath who will statistically not live as long as you will for your health advice too, if you like. Good points @ "immune boosting" though imo :)
but one...
bbyrd009 replies on Oct 19, 2020:
@altschmerz "they did say" that, but then again, they are basically idiots who will not live as long as you will, and i at least suggest that one requires constant exposure to the latest viruses--which are not bacteria, that we might get cholera or something similar from--or else they are at risk.
The hygeine hypothesis does not only apply to kids; we do not "magically" start requiring hygeine as we age, and in fact were warned about ten years or so ago that all the "antibacterial" soap (all soap is antibacterial btw) use was dangerous, to say the least--remember? Great way to make superbugs though, which is what we are doing now; participating in our own demise.
Furthermore, "fully developed" immune systems (which do not exist, btw) may be greatly strengthened or weakened, depending upon ones--mostly dietary--habits, but this author seems to not understand that? Again tho, kudos for at least the approach to an immune-strengthening regimen, regardless of the fact that it destroys her other arguments.

Ick. God isn't emotions.
First of all emotions are real.
Hormone rush during sex caused a lot of "ritual sex" magic, because we confuse goose bumps with a presence, we see faces in clouds, and we practice our arguments in our brain like a reality simulator.
This is why stupid people only act on ...

so, if you could summarize this in one takeaway sentence, what would it be? ty
and hopefully you have an ear for the critiques here; surely you mean well, but it comes across as if you dont really know yourself? peace

Re Are we supposed to actually derive meaning from this ?
bbyrd009 replies on Oct 5, 2020:
@KWAPELL7 ok well i think "ick" is going to be the inevitable response to a disengaged lecture of that nature, and im sure thats not what you are going for? Tbh im not quite sure *what* you are going for with Deepisms like "choose to be..." and etc, but imo when you start using terms like "thine" you're prolly in trouble anyway :)
i mean no offense, ok, and im still fairly objective here, but i feel like i need a shower after reading that. Its gooey ok. imo. Have a good day.

@KWAPELL7 well, you say it cannot be seen nor measured, but dont we generally get the measure of a third fairly quickly, and come to agreement on it? Even if it is not in their hearing. And you state that these qualities are "eternal," but ppl cant change?
And they may not be a *literal* part of the anatomy, but we deem them "heart" nonetheless eh?

bbyrd009 replies on Oct 5, 2020:
@KWAPELL7 well, you speak in the hegelian, or "satan's" dialect--"they have been misinformed once again," "you will also find" etc, iow a superiority complex evident, not saying that that isnt fairly universal in the west (but no, i did not find that myself; or at least i wouldnt describe them as "adequate and obliging").
so, just a suggestion, but when you are getting similar responses over a broad range of thinkers, it might be time to pause and reflect? A "disparate" and "diverse" group you should get a broader range of responses, dont you think?
