But they don’t let religion hold them back

Dogmatic thought, from any source, is usually an intellectual crutch and should be recognized as such even when being used for its basic function.
But the second you start talking about that which is unmeasurable - spirituality - then it's no longer about any form of hard science. At best, it's into the realm of philosophy, and any philosopher worth their textbook can prove damn near anything they like and twice on Sundays.
Yeah well that’s why I make sure to say things like “from what I know/understand”
good general policy
I won’t give that polite saying if they’re being a dick though
Then I’ll just be a dick back
Depends on how cooperative someone is, or if I know it to be fact
fair enough, and I tend to do the same
This video actually states things that I tend to base on who I work with etc
If I have a choice
Also there was this video from a guy called American krogan about why men like open world games
Now it sounds dumb to base how you interact with people off of this media
But I actually find it to be very true
And to me that’s all that matters
Not where I got the information just if it works
And is good at predicting stuff
Libertarians are good at predicting individual behavior but not really group dynamics other than the market
That’s the point
He shows how “tribes” act and think
I get it because it's too on the nose to be intentionally serious
And how it can become toxic but also how useful it can be
and yeah that's a very good point to cover
Just, my instantaneous reaction to both of those statements, on their face, was:

I understand why people promote individualism, this guy clearly out lines why tribalism can be cancerous
You know on this server
And what they mean is individual and critical thinking
Freedom to do speak
Which I’m not against
However you can be a part of the same team and have those things
America’s constitution didn’t came out of nowhere, it came from the WASP settlers and their way of life
They were a part of the same team, they acted stupid sometimes
But still for the most part had freedom of association, religion, speech
Fair courts etc
Like people here I feel like are against people playing by their team
Anyway I gtg
