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

No one is being colonized

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

Socialism @.suki

There wasn’t central planning before and yet famines are still rare

@☭ Anon ☭ because histroically that's worked well, yeah?

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

@☭ Anon ☭ interesting

oh i forgot to mention anon is a tankie

What’s a tankie?

oh shuka

tankies are soviet union lovers

Ye whats a tankie

ohhh

a special kind of communist
