I was raised in extremely Christian Republican household, but you wouldn't think that if you met me

It’s not only an American problem.

Definitely one of the worst, though

Eh, in the first world anyway

I don't know what it's like over in Saudi Arabia or similar countries, but given their laws? Can't imagine it's very good.

There is a growing problem where the people become dependent on the system. These people become sheep...their puppets.

40 % of us don't believe in evolution. 20% of us are unsure. According to Wikipedia. According to the Huffington post 42% of us don't believe in evolution.

"believe in"

That makes it sound like a faith, rather than something that can be proven (or disproven)

Well that's what most people believe here

I'm in the 40% I didn't cite

@Reviire It’s not a faith. It’s called a belief.

I don't know when these statistics were taken

I do know Wikipedia and the Huffington post cites them

Except for it to be a belief, it would have to be something you can't prove, or at least, reasonably prove.

Well I disagree

I believe things fall when I drop them

I'm forced to believe reality

Evolution just happens to be part of that

@Reviire That is correct. Evolution has not yet been proven. Where is the missing link?

I wouldn't really call something that can be proven a belief, personally. Especially when it's so easy to get mixed up in faith. *Especially* something like gravity

Well, I'm not forced. But if I didn't believe it then I'm ignorant or dissonant

I don't know, I don't really read into it nor do I care

It's not something that has an impact on my life in any concievable way for me to want to learn about it

Well, Gwench, I have to get a shower, but I can debate about this later

@Reviire With that approach how can you even know if your life doesn’t get impacted?

It's 10pm here and I've got college tomorrow

@ShadyMasterJ talk to ya later.

Sure, without having a full understanding of it I might not know if it really will impact me, but from my current stand point, I don't see any sort of benefit it would give me.

It's got pretty much no relevance to the career I want to pursue

That’s a defeatist attitude. We cannot correct it fix what we don’t acknowledge.

Is it, though? Why would I learn about something I don't care about, that has no percieved benefit to what I want to do?

I don't intend to talk about it, because I don't have full confidence in my understanding of it.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to university to get a degree in Computer Science, so hopefully work as a software engineer.

Staying the fuck away from machine learning, never touching that no sir.

Lol. Good for you. I mean, why create Skynet?

AI waifus
