My understanding is that life does NOT begin at conception, and numerous examples demonstrate that making that claim has little scientific support. For example, 1) swimming sperm are obviously alive and a woman's eggs are known to be alive; 2) identical twins where the egg then splits to form two individuals; 3) allophenic individuals where two blastulas fuse form a single body with two genetic types of somatic cells. 4) the general understanding that life is a continuous process.

Types of philosophy

racocn8 comments on Oct 5, 2022:

Per Wiki: In an old controversy, rationalism was opposed to empiricism, where the rationalists believed that reality has an intrinsically logical structure... Empiricism is an epistemological theory that holds that knowledge or justification comes only or primarily from sensory experience. Existentialism is a form of philosophical inquiry that explores the problem of human existence and centers on the subjective experience of thinking, feeling, and acting. Existentialist thinkers frequently explore issues related to the meaning, purpose, and value of human existence. Nihilism is ...a philosophy, or family of views within philosophy, that rejects generally accepted or fundamental aspects of human existence, such as objective truth, knowledge, morality, values, or meaning. Stoicism is philosophy of personal eudaemonic virtue ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world, asserting that the practice of virtue is both necessary and sufficient to achieve eudaimonia—flourishing by means of living an ethical life. Hedonism ...theories... that pleasure plays a central role in them. Psychological or motivational hedonism claims that human behavior is determined by desires to increase pleasure and to decrease pain. Normative or ethical hedonism, on the other hand, is not about how we actually act but how we ought to act: we should pursue pleasure and avoid pain. Marxism is a ... method of socioeconomic analysis. (I'd say Marxism doesn't really belong with the rest, and is a antiquated and obsolete/naive concept on par with Rand's Objectivism). I don't see that these concepts are mutually exclusive per se, and I personally lean toward a mixture of Rationalism, Existentialism, Stoicism, and Hedonism.

So many of the previous mythical themes and pre-existing prose are mixed in with the story that one would be challenged to pick out a meaningful story without them. With the abundance of unincorporated apocrypha that also contradict the self-contradicting Gospels, you'd think something would have been recorded. The fact that the whole of Exodus appears to have been made up demonstrates the unreliability of religious writings to record actual historic events.

I can't comment on the evolution of the community because the increasing political polarization (and offensive dementia) has forced me to block the conservatives (as they have blocked me). Regarding your discussions (paragraph 1), try to consider that winning an argument doesn't necessarily move you toward the truth. You can crow about scoring points, but where does that get you if you disregard what the other party has to say. The stridency of your discourse suggests that some level of interpersonal therapy might be beneficial. Your needs are not being met, and you aren't getting the help you want here. Maybe therapy is too stigmatized, and it IS just as sketchy as people are (a crap shoot).

Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic. [youtube.com]

racocn8 comments on Oct 2, 2022:

What is meant by ' magic ' ? The fooling of the senses? The supernatural? The violation of physics as we know it? The behaviors of UAP with presumed advanced science appear to be the latter. These include very high accelerations, sustained operation and levitation, high speed right-angle turns and high speeds, (indifference to inertia and/or gravity), no observable (conventional) propulsion systems, no control surfaces, transiting from space to atmosphere and then into water (transmedium), cloaking, etc. But the latter are not ascribed to magic...

Embarrassing to be sure. He sold me 10 lbs of product which turned out to be badly contaminated and, at this point, trash. He worked a grow, and was paid in product, so he's sitting on 1200 lbs of trash. And he knows it's trash. Somehow he reasoned that his loss gave him license to rip me off. That's what happens. People are shit sometimes. Often times. Hope you see the analogy... You're embarrassed because you got scammed like me. You can and should forgive yourself. You trusted your family. You should be able to do that. That is a perfect example of how religion makes good people do shitty things.

Central Bankers Gaslighting Us About the “Strong” Dollar | SchiffGold

racocn8 comments on Sep 26, 2022:

Excerpt: "In all these cases, the problem is never that the dollar is “too strong.” The problem is that other central banks are even worse,..." I don't agree. The Fed's increasing the interest rate to stop inflation is some ugly shit. 1st, the increase in interest rates cannot stop the inflation that is international. If anything, it makes it worse by trashing those other currencies. 2nd, inflation has already started to come down, not because of the Fed moves, but as countries coordinate their responses to the inflation caused by Putin's war. But 3rd, if the Fed can't stop international inflation by increasing interest rates, why do it??? And the answer is, well first greed of course. Selling loads of higher interest bonds makes the dollar still stronger, and this churning makes money for the banks. (4th: ) But most importantly, raising interest rates like this crushes the US economy, freezing the real estate market and putting millions out of work. What does wrecking millions of lives do to stop the pain of inflation? Nothing of course, but what it does do is make the democrats look bad, even though all this comes from GQP bankers. For them, they think that's a good thing. It is more of the same GQP kicking down, except now their kicking the entire country in the teeth. It is shameful that the democrats are not making this an issue. Most of the inflation comes from GQP-aligned oil companies. So now the GQP-aligned Fed does this shit right before the election. I know Americans are stupid as shit, but it's really disappointing to see people who are so utterly ignorant. And allowing themselves to be so shamelessly manipulated. The GQP has declared war on the rest of us, but no one gets that.
