I fully support scientists and the pursuit of understanding the universe, I just see the current scientific understanding of the universe much like the medical understanding of Humorism.
It's wrong, but ideas from the incorrect assumption could lead to better advancements.
We just don't have the tools required to observe a God empirically yet.
The lack of proof is not proof of lack of existence.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence*
Yes, but the default assumption is that a theory is incorrect. I’m also not willing to wait around for proof that I doubt will ever come
and again, how do you expect to prove the existence of an immaterial being when we can only observe the material. We can see things because light essentially bounces off of things and back into our eyes
Yes, but for a time we couldn't see air either, yet we still felt the wind.
Exactly, we observed its effects and went from there. If the “immaterial” can affect the material, it is necessarily able to do so because it exists as a physical entity subject to the laws of physics
thus making it material
but I’m a bit bored of this so I’ll end off by saying that agnostic atheism is the most reasonable position with our current info
I've got shit to do myself l8r.
good talk 😁
@☭ Anon ☭ Why are you a communist?
because I’m jewish property and I want to please jews obviously
Oh.
why are you a liberal
lol
Because I believe in freedom and equality of opportunity and people’s right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
should we keep bombing brown people and colonizing their lands like we are doing now
Colonialism ended like 100 years ago
Ok here’s a question, why wouldn’t we switch to central planning when markets have proven inefficient at distribution? Billions of pounds of food goes to waste every year sitting on the shelves of supermarkets while millions starve to death
oh no its shuka
Capitalism may be trash
but can y'all give some alternatives then
Central planning isn’t needed to get food to people
There wasn’t central planning before and yet famines are still rare
basically everybody here believes in some kind of alternative be it fascism communism anarchism or national socialism
If anything central planning might make distribution worse because you can’t predict consumption patterns like that
so basically ask anybody
Also we’re slowly getting better
Millions of people are lifted from poverty every year and over time the standard for poverty gets higjer
Yes it has actually. Soviet caloric consumption was higher than that of the united states and they had much less to work with from the start @.suki
We live like royalty from a thousand years ago
I'm certainly critical of capitalism for sure, but from what I've seen communism and the like eventually devolve into capitalism + authoritarianism
oh i forgot to mention anon is a tankie
What’s a tankie?
