what are you talking about?

2018-12-05 22:33:16 UTC  

I work in software development

2018-12-05 22:33:29 UTC  

making a joke about programmers

> Black text on dark theme...
I thought programmers love dark theme, so it is extra weird they would overlook this one

2018-12-05 22:34:25 UTC  

And I ain't switching to light theme because of someone else's fuckup

2018-12-05 22:34:50 UTC  

right

2018-12-05 22:35:26 UTC  

but it passed the unit test, probably, right?

2018-12-05 22:36:07 UTC  

@Purple Phoenix there's no easy example you could give? Just trying to understand which aspect you're referring to mostly

2018-12-05 22:36:45 UTC  

But yeah Peterson kinda tries to have his cake and eat it too with regard to Nietzsche, which sucks

2018-12-05 22:37:17 UTC  

hes against Marx but seems to me hes somewhat colectivist @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:37:42 UTC  

Ah, because of the Jesus thing?

2018-12-05 22:37:50 UTC  

kinda

2018-12-05 22:38:41 UTC  

So basically he's in this weird spot where he's trying to fit traditional ideas and Christianity in with a sort of post-Christian individualist worldview

2018-12-05 22:38:49 UTC  

but not really cause he doesnt seem like reggular church attending guy @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:39:11 UTC  
2018-12-05 22:39:13 UTC  

And if you squint and look at it from a specific angle and tilt your head it seems okay

2018-12-05 22:40:12 UTC  

yea i get hes triyng to persue specific audience with his morals @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:40:49 UTC  

and im all for his redpill bombs @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:40:56 UTC  

I don't think it's that. I think he's espousing his own beliefs

2018-12-05 22:41:09 UTC  

I think he would call himself Christian even though he isn't really

2018-12-05 22:42:08 UTC  

well i was thinking of being christian cause of him @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:42:49 UTC  

but then ive saw great arguments against that @Beemann

2018-12-05 22:43:05 UTC  

Sure, you gotta do your own searching really

2018-12-05 22:43:27 UTC  

thats why i love free marketplace of ideas

2018-12-05 22:43:30 UTC  

Christian philosophy is actually worthwhile to look into

2018-12-05 22:43:51 UTC  

its contradicting @Nine

2018-12-05 22:44:03 UTC  

Free Will vs Predestination arguments for ages

2018-12-05 22:44:10 UTC  

literal ages

2018-12-05 22:45:24 UTC  

The only argument I've seen for free will + God that worked at all involved multiple possible time branches basically

2018-12-05 22:45:28 UTC  

we are just blessed that we have humanism and the enlightenmant that its not interpeted as fanatically as islam @Nine

2018-12-05 22:45:49 UTC  

The issue being that any case of God intervening is likely still reducing those possible paths to 1

2018-12-05 22:46:45 UTC  

thats why western civilizations are prospering @Purple Phoenix

2018-12-05 22:47:28 UTC  

and middle east isnt

2018-12-05 22:48:06 UTC  

Generally, eras of "unthreatened" top ideologies tend to have less crazy stuff. It's the self-justification periods where philosophies go crazy for rationalization

2018-12-05 22:50:57 UTC  

cant see what you mean by that @Nine

2018-12-05 22:55:02 UTC  

times when people feel less need to "force answers" to justify the worldview and just rather "explore possibilities" of the worldview

By the way can anyone spare some shekels

That would be shekeltastic

2018-12-05 22:56:50 UTC  

I.E avoid looking at philosophies around points of political/theological crisis times

2018-12-05 22:57:23 UTC  

yea thats why were in the rising authoritarianism if we cared about state power always we would never have been in this sitution @Nine

2018-12-05 22:59:37 UTC  

Dunno, I grew up in an area that always hated state power
