  1. Red is my favorite color too.
  2. There are always exceptions to broad-sweeping statements about complex things like society. I already told you this: There is more to a country than GDP.
  3. Experiences of self-transcendence in narrative form, corrupted by ego, distributed geographically through imperial conquest. The first world religion, Hinduism, was a culmination of several lineages of pagan nature religions from the Upper-Paleolithic to the Early Neolithic that existed ~15000 years ago. It retained the traits of polytheism with animal and feminine gods. In a growing world of cities and empires influenced by patriarchal power structures, we got organized religion, the epitome of which were the Abrahamic religions, with emphasis on monotheism, law and order: strict behavioral restrictions under the rule of the one patriarchal Father.
  4. Truuue! This is generally the case, but you also have the odd visionaries who have a foot in both worlds. Here is a discussion between two highly metaphysically literate scientists about the limitations of the mainstream paradigm of not just science but the way we live our lives (the nihilistic pop-science view of life):
  5. And that's not the end of the story. The reason these people are popular in the first place is because they're reflecting the worldview of the majority. They didn't really change anything. They just entered a preprepared niche
  6. You can still survive in such conditions. It's just not as comfortable. Privilege is mostly about comfort and convenience.
  7. Most hilarious ENTP moment : 3:22 - 3:38
  8. Survival is at some level inherently violent.
  9. If people keep posting about stereotypes and other ethnocentric garbage, this will be locked.
  10. If it's possible to imagine The Statue of Liberty being toppled by a true to life dictator, it's possible to imagine them being assassinated by a leftist incel as well
  11. Become one and transcend it.
  12. I would think that a true dictator of a 1st world country would get assassinated pretty quickly.
  13. Tier 2 musician (not metal ):
  14. Isn't that simply reality existing as itself?
  15. Does reality have to interpret itself in order to exist?
  16. @OBEler Lol
  17. The fields you're talking about are just ways to conceptualize force interactions (e.g. the electromagnetic field and the gravitational field). Forget about those. Also, you make it seem like atoms consisting of subatomic particles means they cannot be 99.999% space. Nobody says that. An atom is a nucleus orbited by electrons. Considering the radius of the electron cloud and the radius of the nucleus and how the electron cloud is mostly empty space, you probably get more than 99.999% empty space. However, Quantum Mechanics tells you that empty space can spontaneously produce particles at any moment, so the dichotomy between matter and empty space is only a probabilistic one.
  18. Did they also see saw dust particles and vapor droplets? You would see those long before singular molecules.
