great video on Mormons and why they are sadly on the rise. Also some benefits of the religion

@LastThursdaythanks for the replies. You are right. I should say that many arguments are "sameness vs difference" but not all

What didn't you like about it?

Yes I am also referring to that video. What's your mixed review?

Hey thanks for the reply. So you agree then: An equivalence is a 'similarity' in disguise?

Guys, Lonesome Dove won the Pulitzer for reason. These books are so incredibly profound and moving. These books will bring you as close as possible to experiencing the pioneering times. Quote at the start of the book: All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. —T. K. Whipple

In my humble opinion, That's because AI is neither emotional nor spiritual, and can never truly be. It can produce emotions in others but it can never feel them. Same with the spiritual component. Also, art is about the joy of creative expression and release - something AI doesn't do. Therefore, what AI creates cannot be considered art.

Ya there's a difference between those two things for sure. I was finding a similarity but you and @Human Mint are right, without making distinctions communication becomes chaos. Many arguments are about similarity vs difference and Leo has a video on the topic too. So I'm my defence, i was looking for a similarity that's all, and not trying to gaslight or dismiss your thoughts.

Its hard to be accept because we consider the modern world advanced but I think it's generational hatred and the ingrained/learned fear of someone different. The Abrahamic religions have been hating each other since they started. Even Muslims of different sects hate each other. Protestants and Catholics have been killing each other for years. We get shocked by Hitler actions but, did you know that when Genghis Khan invaded Europe, the Christians started burning the Jews alive in an effort to find some to blame? Compared to history, Hitler isn't that crazy or unique and neither is today's bigotry. This shit goes back centuries and it's still with us today. Just like our cuisine and language is inherited from 1000s of years ago, so is our hate.

Here's 2 mins of conservative tears that show how much political opponents can be feared and hated. Dems do the same thing. How can this hate be resolved? Or is this hate and fear something that's a healthy and drives political change? Can love solve everything or is hate a practical tool in our politics?

Lol, great answer.

Haha both I suppose! Just general advice on how to love your political opponents for everybody.

His Bible stuff is sad

Oh geez

No discussion on the patriarchy is complete without this lecture by Dr Rahman (from a channel shared on Leo's blog) in my humble opinion Basically patriarchy started with the domestication of animals, and was encouraged by the women. Human groups started out as egalitarian, but the domestication of animals brought in a large new form of wealth. Because the men were in charge of the animals, it was in the women's interest to commit themselves to a patriarch to secure resources for offspring. Both men and women chose patriarchy as a means of survival for their offspring. The video also explains that the reason a woman needs to commit to one man but not necessarily vice versa is because men can't be sure they are the father otherwise; while women are always sure who their kids are. Men didn't want to support kids that aren't theirs.

Got a link? Interesting

I hope we are finally at the "destroys itself" phase! Not sure on what grounds Republicans can criticize others again. They will try I am sure.

No one is arguing over absolute truth. People are arguing over relative truths. Others argue over lower vs higher truths.

El-Sayed has so many other redeeming characteristics (Captain of football team, is a doctor, a great speaker, presentable, altruistic, etc) that I think many people are willing to look past the name. He is also such a charasmatic speaker that he is able to change the perception of what a Muslim can shown up in the world.

Ya true, I agree with your profound and high-level thought. I wonder, can we start to love our political opponents, in our own minds, solely to increase the love in the world and to decrease the hate in ourselves? Even though they seem very misguided, unconscious, unintelligent, greedy, and selfish?

And another cool one

Cool video

I have an even better idea. Why don't we get sane people to run the world? Besides, I think Trump raised the prices even more due to the illegal war in Iran.

Why does this ☝️ seem so impossible to communicate to most people?
