He also thinks you can **ASK** a fucking catepillar what they **THINK** about life after becoming a cocoon.)

Sez in the title this is a religious discussion.

So.... color me not surprised.

Ultra religious people don’t understand biology or life

At all

And then you have the religious types who founded most of the science of those fields -XD

it still tickles me that it was a monk who came up with genetics being a thing

Mhm

It’s interesting

A lot of scientist aren’t actually atheists from what I know

A good argument for "moderation in all things".

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

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

Both of those statements in that thumbnail require prejudicial presumptions. Disgusting.

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:

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

I understand why people promote individualism, this guy clearly out lines why tribalism can be cancerous
