I don't know,If I had grown up as an Atheist, a Materialist,Would I still be a Nihilist?I don't know,I find existence confusing, incoherent at times, insane, I want to scream,But I don't place that on Christianity,Rather conclusions about existence as I perceive it,I place my discomfort on Atheism and Materialism.For me, Christianity was when I was more intact psychologically.But, might be if I'd grown without it, I'd be intact,I'm doubtful though.
This is more of a modernity/industrial issue. People who like to think about these sort of things have more time to ask themselves existential questions. It might be better for you to focus on family, friends, hobbies or what have you with your free time.

I watched a video about Constructor theory a couple of years ago. I totally forgot what it’s about. Isn’t it used as a framework to better approach scientific ideas? I don’t know.

I am a Christian, so I think I speak for most Christians (at least the real Christians) when I say that we don't hate the LGBTQ+ community. We just disagree with them.
I am a [INSERT MADE-UP IDEOLOGY], so I think I speak for most [INSERT SAID IDEOLOGY] when I say that we don’t hate the straight community. We just disagree with them.

@Tradesecret
In the existence that exists, why did the non-life evolve to a life form? Does this imply that non-life forms have the ability to be dissatisfied? Or the capacity to want to exist forever? Moreover, how did it come about? Was it intentional, under the guise of the survival of the fittest - although I am not sure how that works. Or was it an accident?
Being dissatisfied requires thought/reflection. There are countless life forms that aren’t capable of thought (viruses, microbes, etc).
Cognition is higher order. It came way later. From my understanding, it’s thought evolution started to really take off when a single celled organism called a eukaryote became multicellular by swallowing a microbe which formed the mitochondria (the power house of a cell). Before that it’s believed that RNA (a precursor to DNA, but still relevant) had a huge part to play. It’s all chemical-organic-happenstance. I’m sure there’s aliens out there asking the same questions.
I had to do a bit of research on the names. And some fact checking.
As someone who is not an evolutionist - and what little I thought I knew, seems to becoming more vague every day, so would someone please assist me here.
We’re all in the same boat, albeit an expanding boat with an ever-expanding ocean.
Now I know that this may well do with the origin of all theories - yet - I am not asking about why or how non-life came into being - we can assume that for the sake of the discussion. I am asking about the evolution from non-life to life.
It’s said that protobionts also known as protocells were formed around hydrothermal vents via various chemical compounds.
Though I tried searching up if they’ve been found in nature. No results. It might be because they form rarely and/or when they do form, they get eaten up by microorganisms. But that’s just my speculation. Though scientists are close to making them in the lab.
It’s better to talk in terms of development instead of evolution when talking about the first life. It might get confusing otherwise.
Now admittedly, having a brain seems better than not having a brain. And the ability to move and communicate seems to be better than not being able to do the same, but they are both value statements.Thanks - in anticipation.
And thank you.

Usually, people like to make assumptions.I was called gay plenty of times in my life.But people are wrong about me.If I watch gay porn and talk about banging dudes, that doesnt make me gay.It makes me an experimental scientist.

@ahiyah
Then what do you propose it is? These are *western* people making demands and passing judgment on *Middle Eastern* people, lol. That much should be clear to anyone.
Cultural relativism originated in the “west” though. Does that make you a westerner? East, west, north and south doesn’t matter.
Oh pls, do expound. No one will have a clue what you're trying to say otherwise.If you read my comment to you again, you'll see that I was extremely clear about my stance. To explain it in even simpler terms: there was no diplomatic, friendly, or nuanced discussion about Qatar's values and laws. Instead, we tried to impose our views on Qatar and it was not consenting. Qatar don't want to emulate the West, so this was really futile and arrogant on our part. Again, consider "consent" and the importance of that when it comes to having a dialogue and wanting the other party to understand or change in some way. Resorting to threats like we will boycott or we will stop the World Cup from being held there is NOT "peaceful" or an example of people "determining their values"; it is *forcing* another nation to be like you and punishing them if they aren't.
Are you against boycotting Israel then? I just want to see if you have a principled stance.
And really, ideology should be irrelevant. We should be able to show tolerance toward another nation without letting our ideology get in the way. Why are people so immature and narcissistic these days? Are you one of them? 😆
Ideology should be irrelevant? Say that to the workers that were subject to slave labour, all the way up to people wearing t-shirts with rainbows on them.
By the way, you started the argument with Lol.

This isn’t a West vs whatever competition. This just goes to show how ideologically insecure you are. No specifics at all.

History is full of people spreading values. Spreading values isn’t bad in and of itself. You need to actually talk specifics about peaceful and non-peaceful means and what any given value entails.

No i’m saying the elderly sometimes go into a child like mental state.
American children are used to seeing people in masks. In fact they were raised to accept people wearing masks as entertainment. It started with the cowboy bandits, then bank robbers and KKK.
That’s what this reminded me of.

I do agree that technology was already diminishing healthy social interaction from a psychological POV, but I feel as if the Covid lockdowns dialed it up to 11. Also, what are your thoughts on the possible long term effects to the immune system via the hygiene hypothesis + lockdowns and over-sanitization?
I feel like you watched too much news.
Anyway it’s reasonable to assume an overwhelming majority of parents were sane enough to allow their kids to take their masks off at home.
the strict mask requirements only lasted for a couple of years. When it comes to mental and immune development, children below the age of 5 would be most effected I would say. TV and smart devices were probably helpful in this circumstance for young kids seeing faces. Though this all just common sense to me.

I also provided an alternative if you don't want to work out which is carnivore diet but with fruits added to it.
Some days the majority of my food consumption is meat. I had a large pork belly a few days ago as an example. Probably not great for my heart though.
Look up lymbic hunger. It's why you cave to 6 bread rolls
I didn’t crave to them. I ate them without a second thought. I made them for family but there were extra leftover, and I didn’t have anything to eat all day.
Tell me something you hate and I will adjust the diet to that for you
I don’t need to hate to be motivated.

water weight is still weight. Plus I’m not in a rush. If the diet is one pound of fat loss per week, that’s pretty good. The only problem is I haven’t been sticking to it. For example I ate 6 buns the other day. Not good.

@PREZ-HILTON
Are you still a fat ass or did you continue the diet?
I’m staying just below 90kgs or 198 pounds. First week was the easiest to lose wait. I felt my pants really loosen up. Though I haven’t been as strict with the diet as I should. I might do another push soon.

Conservative, globalist, I don’t care what you call it. I think it’s good.

@PREZ-HILTON
Conservative solutions to these problems are changing policies to fix the break up of the black family. For example destroying the welfare state that encourages single mother hood, reducing the things that lead to crime so less black people end up in prison and can help to raise their children etc.
To be clear to get rid of single mother welfare altogether or just welfare that encourages it?
And what about affordability and wage increases?
Can you show me any prominent conservative platform running on such policies?

Nope, it's actually the opposite. It is intuitive to violate our human rights
You say Intuitive, I say ignorance. The lack of understanding of another humans mental state. If everyone could read each others thoughts, human rights violations would go right down.
