He's coping so hard.

Armenians just can't shut up. Haha.

I agree. But for Jesus' case, it's different. He was dead long ago. People aren't even sure what he looked like. Even if there's a writing from the actual Jesus, how are we going to interpret his writing when we can't really imagine what life was like 2000 years ago where he lived? Although Jesus could be used to describe things that people associated him with, which don't have to be socially constructed.

I don't think it's 100% socially constructed as a historical figure.

@CARDOZZO, you basically admitted that he is socially constructed.

Jesus as a religious figure is socially constructed. Also, different religions and denominations have different interpretations about Jesus.

Why Elon, why!

It's an excellent idea. It would be like an interactive book.

Perfectly said. This is like throwing acid on a Christian's face.

Even if we think of ourselves as objective, what would being objective mean? Being aware of the system you're in? Moving into another system, if so, how many are there and which one could we go into, and would we stay objective as we are going to be affected by the system? 😅

At least I could be right. 😁

Or we can be objective about another system but not to ours', which means that we are observing another system from the outside but inside our system. But I don't think that, in this case, being objective is actually objective. Or maybe I'm wrong what he meant.

I think maybe he means being objective could make you outside the system from inside the system.

I think he could mean that we can imagine a unicorn like we are imagining a horse. But our imagination of a unicorn in our current level isn't equal to the imagination of a horse.

@Husseinisdoingfine, it's oxymoronic.

I would say that anyone who uses the term "God", especially public intellectuals, is sus.

I don't know much about Jews, but I have direct experience seeing how people are indoctrinated because of a genocide that happened to their elders a century ago. It deeply affects people's thinking. I often feel like an alien to them and vice versa, as I don't try to depend on them too much, or more like a familiar alien.

By the way, The Paradox Of Knowing Social Systems post was excellent!

The problem is how we define and categorize what is feminine and masculine. Are they energy, behavior, etc.? Does male/female biology determine that we are going to be masculine/feminine?

What would it be called if someone got something from each side of the list? 🤔

@Yimpa, it really is beautiful. Also, conan's podcast is one of the best.

I felt it. 😁

James McAvoy's voice is very soothing.
