Facts are that if you pour half a dozen bullets through a living human beings head with a gun he'll die
No amount of "I say its not so" will change that
Maybe truth as in observation and fact as some theoretical reality that we need to infer.
A religion that forbids questions is one I don't want to be part of.
Anyway. I don't want to guide my life by things I cannot test.
i am not a post-modernist. i don't believe this crap. but you need to be able to understand those that are. you are failing to do so and your puffy statements about facts are irrelevant to those who seek to have you under their boot.
Truth is subjective,
Facts are static, they don't chang, no matter what anyone chooses to believe
To the degree that I can test religion, I would apply the scientific method, which makes the distinction moot.
you can never test everything that needs to be true for a plane to fly
No, you just don't understand what i'm saying
no vacation for you?
You don't use the scientific method for religion because religion isn't a science.
We both know, that those in power can compel "truth"
But no matter what they want they can't compel facts
That is why post-modernism is falling appart at every turn
Right, which is why I keep making the distinction between knowledge and scientific method.
Because you can't "Want" reality to change
The body of scientific knowledge and the amount I was able to verify is always imperfect.
But the scientific METHOD has proven itself in myriads of scenarios.
they're not falling apart. they might very well win. this fight is nowhere close to won.
So even though I do not have perfect knowledge, I have an ALGORITHM by which to proceed.
they will keep fighting, by any means necessary, forever.
Let's say you programmed a robot:
but their "dreams" are incompatible with reality
so they'll never be able to achieve them
make it exterminate humanity
You can program a path navigation, but you can never test the robot in all conceivable environments.
Still, you can program a robot that does a decent job at navigating a room.
I have programmed such robots.
Its like trannies,
They might look like it,
They might act like it,
They might believe they are,
But they are not the other biological sex
hypocrit that you are, for you trust the same chemicals in your head to tell you they are chemicals
will you fight? or will you perish like a dog?
The algorithm is the scientific method - the specific rooms are akin to the knowledge and scenarios that I have tested.
Once I have test a lot of rooms, I get more confident. Do I have certainty? No.
because they factually aren't
even in failure post-modernists cause massive pain and suffering and threaten the entire world. the soviet union was the direct result of post-modern philosophy and not only did they kill millions, they very nearly destroyed the earth on several occasions.
Yes
and they never got their dream
isn't it even a communist motto?
"If you die from startvation, you just didn't want to live enough"?
lmao just dab on starvation
just eat xD
This topic will not go anywhere if discussed in this way. You can do good and bad things in the name of science and in the name of religion.
If we want to make sensible comparisons, we have to discuss its methods.
religion gives people a purpose greater than their own
