I like when atheist tells a religious person that he doesnt believe in God, and religious person responds with "So what do you believe in?".
The fact that so many people think that you "need" to believe in something without proof is just a very clear evidence that religion is a mental illness.

Do you define faith as "belief without proof"?
In that case, faith is a logical fallacy.
In order for something to be considered true, it must be proved to be true.
Otherwise, if proof isnt needed, then you have no way to decide what is true and what isnt.
Then technically, everything is true and nothing needs to be proved.
This is a big problem for religious people who dont seem to understand that their religion is a logical fallacy.
There are plenty of religions in the world which contradict each other. Even people in same religion contradict each other on how religion is supposed to be practiced.
Christians cant seem to decide if Jesus wants for them to live in poverty like he did, or if he wants for them to be rich and fat. They also cant decide if Old Testament is valid or not.
Muslims cant decide which part of Quran to follow, the one which encourages peace or the one which promotes hate and beating up of people who have incorrect type of sex.
Taoists are smarter, but Taoism isnt a religion but its science. Nothing in Tao Te Ching tells you to believe in any God.
Those who believe in Karma cant seem to explain if when one person hurts the other, then does the person who is hurt deserves it due to Karma, or does person who hurt the person gets bad Karma. If the first is true, then second cant be, and anyone who hurts others is basically just giving them deserved punishment. But if first isnt true, then the idea of Karma isnt true.

Effort is work.Doesn't matter how we do it.And effort requires input.And input costs, no matter how we pay for it.
So you are talking about anything instead of talking about work which will be done by AI.
If you have difficulty finding what to do when you dont have a job, then you are technically not human, but just a worker bee.
Presumably your parents currently fund your luxury lifestyle.
Not sure why you think that I live in luxury. If I was rich, then I would probably brag about it all the time.

So, other than fuck sex robots, what are we going to do the rest of the time.
I dont have a job anyway. My day consists of drinking 600 milliliters of water every hour, listening to classical music, training, doing research and writing down important things, reading about books and ideas, debating, playing games.
Though if humans aren't required to do anything.Then humans are therefore not required.
Not sure why would anyone think that purpose of life is work.
Does his new plan also replace human Presidents with AI ones?
No, we cant give Skynet control over our nukes.

When did you discover? It grows long as long as you never cut it.
I was afraid of even being feminine because my country is a bit retarded and people are still in the matrix created by religion where they feel the need to mock feminine guys.
However, in past few years, I got the idea that I should let my hair grow long to see how it looks like, and it looks better than short hair.

Did you become a trans at 18? Then you didn’t miss anything.
I did become feminine at age 15, but only in last few years did I decide to grow long hair.

According to you trans with a small dick are treated better than a normal guy with a small dick. That was your reason for turning trans.
Normal guy with a small dick is usually observed by society as a loser. This was always so. However if he becomes trans, people will begin to care more. I direct people's attention towards me being trans, so they consider me mentally ill and care for me.
But I read now that dick stops growing at age 18. I wish I started these dick exercises much earlier. Its really a shame that society never teaches you anything important.

It is even more freakier seeing it on a trans.
Yes, but when you are trans, people assume that you are mentally ill so they treat you a little better.

Jesus claimed he was God. That is why the Jews crucified him for blasphemy.

Why don’t you do the same for your dick?
Dick doesnt grow as fast as hair. Well, in past 15 years, it barely grew at all. This for me was an ultimate punishment from God. Having a small dick is worse than burning in Hell.

Like your 1 inch dick growing larger.
My dick did get maybe a bit bigger after I started exercising muscles and dick.
Maybe after 40 years, it will be 10 inches.
The only problem is that by the time I increase it to 10 inches, I will be very old. I wont be young and hot anymore.
But I have faith, because I had a dream where I had a very big dick, so I think that was a sign from God.
It was a sign that God has a plan for my dick. One day, people will look at my dick and see the glory of God.

Trump replacing doctors, lawyers and teachers should concern everyone.
AI is a much better teacher than humans.
Meiji, Emperor of Japan, understood the importance of progress to make Japan powerful. If Japan didnt replace swords with guns, there probably wouldnt be Japan today.
Old technology must be replaced by new technology if you want progress.
Besides, most human teachers dont even care much about kids, which is why US education produces so many illiterate people.
Even Hitler understood that education system is retarded, because it doesnt create intellectuals, but parrots.

Can two statements be true?
I said two opposite statements. "Biconditional Statement" isnt about two opposite statements.
A more modern example is “this sentence is false”: if it is true the sentence is false, then it is false that it is true.
That one was solved by logical axiom which says that category cannot contain more than itself. To put it simply, a statement cannot contain more than itself, but the statement above tries to do exactly that.
It is like saying:
P = P is false.
In this logical error, P contains both itself and more than itself, which logically cannot happen.
Per logical axiom,
P = P
Thus, P cannot be more than P.
Thus, P cannot contain "P is false" in any formal logic, as "P is false" contains P and more than P, thus cannot be contained by P.

why do people believe Trump when he lies 98% of the time?
Hard to say. I think masses have bad memory, so they forget his lies. Or maybe they dont even question his claims. Not all people bother to check if some claim is true. Trump makes thousands of claims per speech, which is why masses fail to check his claims. If it was just one claim, it would be easy, but what average person would go writing down and checking thousands of claims after every Trump's speech? Hitler discovered that the size of a lie is important.

What about the expression there are always two sides to every story?
In debating, when there are opposite premises, only one can be true. Thus, when there are two debaters, one arguing for one premise, the other arguing for opposite, it is logically not possible for both to be true.

What makes you believe Trump will actually listen to AI?
Trump likes taking credit for things he didnt do. He will know that AI is right, so he will listen to AI idea, and then take credit as if it was his own idea. This makes Trump successful while AI does all the actual thinking.
He claims he is the only one who can fix problems.
Well, he has to tell that to the masses, so they vote for him. Who would vote for a politician who says that he cant fix problems?

Or they will tell you falsehoods whenever you say a true statement, because they followed your advice to just say everything.
If I say a true statement and they say falsehood, then my truth remains true. However, my advice logically has to produce truth (one of different and opposite premises has to be true), so if they follow it, it would be impossible for them to not say any truth.
Also, debating itself is literally impossible without someone making a false claim first. With two opposite positions taken in debate, one must be false and one must be true.
Thus, in all debates, there is at least one liar involved. In fact, debating wouldnt exist if there were no liars. However, in order to know what is a lie, lie must be presented as a topic in a debate so that the opposite - truth - can be learned.

Yeah, but the knowledge in people's heads will become more removed from reality.
Or they will remove my false claims and fill me with truth, thus more truth for me. Besides, I seek challenge to my claims. I dont seek people who will absorb everything I tell them. And people cant challenge my claims if I dont make them.

No, it doesn't add or subtract truth. Lying subtracts truth.
I dont see how lying "substracts" truth. If I tell one true claim, it will remain true even if I tell 10000 lies after it.
However, both lying and silence take valuble time which could be otherwise used to tell the truth.

Well speaking achieves it worse if the untruth outweighs the truth. If your truth is +10 and your untruth is -90, you've achieved the opposite of what you want.
That depends on how you measure.
Silence negates truth as well.
If you go by percentage of truth, or ratio of truth to non-truth, silence has no different effect from incorrect claims. Both reduce ratio of truth to non-truth.

A lot of people say I look like Hegal.
Karl Marx spent plenty of time studying Hegel. Karl Marx's dialectical materialism is mostly based on Hegel's dialectics. Only Hegel applied dialectics in ideas and reaching truth, where Marx realized that dialectics dont apply to just ideas and words, but to human relations as well as conditions in society. This discovery was revolutionary, because while Hegel applied and observed contradictions in ideas and the eventual win of one idea over another, Karl Marx saw contradiction between worker class and capitalist class in a capitalist society, and reached conclusion that the struggle between them can only have one victor or common demise of both.

If you say nothing then no wrong claims have been made.
No true claims either. So if goal is to speak more truth, being silent doesnt achieve the goal.
Created:

@Savant
No, because saying wrong claims could reduce truth that was created by other people.
That wouldnt reduce my truth at all. It could even improve my truth by learning their truth and making them disprove my false claims. Thus, my truth rises.
Or people could be misinformed, which is worse than being uninformed.
Both are same in terms of amount of truth. Person who knows nothing contains the same amount of truth as person who only knows incorrect claims.
Created:

@Savant
No, it increases truth from -80% to 0%. You already reduced truth more than you increased it.
If I say 10 claims and only one is true, that is 1 true claim.
If I say nothing, that is 0 true claims.
Thus, saying nothing produces as much truth as saying only wrong claims.

1. Sharing is caring
I often hear this argument against Communism that equal sharing is impossible.
However, if I were rich, it would be very difficult for me to stay rich. I wouldnt be able to drive past homeless people and watch them suffer and freeze. I wouldnt be able to buy expensive houses and cars and planes for myself knowing that some people have no house. For me, the mere idea that someone is in a worse position than I am bothers me and prevents me from buying expensive stuff, even now. Besides, the greatest spiritual discoveries arent made by having excess of wealth, and most of the spiritual warriors and wise people in history werent very rich. Many have often preached against material wealth, saying how it causes a decline in humanity. This is simply because material wealth cannot replace you and it cannot replace any other person, no matter how much you think it can. Imagine if you had all the wealth in the world, but if you were alone in the world. Then all material wealth would be meaningless, world would be boring and without any purpose, as you would be alone. Thus, material wealth cannot replace a human being. Human beings are always more important to you than money, thus you shouldnt place material wealth above human beings. The revolutionary method of economy and politics where humanity is in the first place is the method which cannot fail. But any method which places material wealth as priority over humanity will neglect humanity and thus fail in greed, corruption and decline of true human values. Humans naturally have common purpose where each human is meant to seek knowledge and where each human benefits from sharing knowledge with another, which creates better society as a whole which benefits all. But should individual benefit himself by harming society, then society will become worse and life of individual will become worse, as all individuals are connected in this world and all individuals have common purpose, and any deviation from the common purpose and common benefit results in common decline.
2. Intellectual warfare
Ideas are most powerful things in this world. Ideas are more powerful than guns. Ideas even outlive their creators. Thus, the true battleground is that of ideas. Truth is the best weapon which is eternal. Once truth is learned, the lie and delusion disappear. The great empires who are built on a lie collapse before truth. Thus, truth is the ultimate weapon which cannot be defended against. You cannot destroy truth with a gun. You cannot negate truth with a gun. Even if you were to kill a person who speaks the truth, some other person would discover the same truth eventually. Thus, the arrival of truth cannot be stopped. Once truth is made known, lie can no longer be repeated. Thus, intellectual warfare is essentially that of intellectual warriors discovering truth to destroy lies. As the truth expands, the lie reduces. Truth and lie are in such a relationship that one cannot grow without devouring the other. However, unlike lie, the truth is more powerful because complete truth destroys complete lie, and the more complete the truth becomes, the closer the end of the lie is.

So by being right 10% of the time and wrong 90% of the time, you're reducing total truth. Sounds like you should just say nothing.
