- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 3 days ago:
evolving to adapt to an environment full of microplastics, to eating ultraprocessed foods, to look at screens for most of the day, etc.
That’s not how evolution works…
Isn’t it? There are those who get will sick from micro plastics/ultra processed food or turn Hikikomori from computer entertainment which would reduce their reproduction.

It was proved to him that it doesn’t block ai scrapers.
At first I agreed with him. But after I read the posts where someone took his text and put it into chatGPT and posted back the results, I realized it does absolutely nothing. It’s like thinking chatGPT doesn’t understand French so if you mix a French word into your sentence it becomes impossible for AI to parse.

Given that it was proved to him that it doesn’t mess with AI scrapers, his statement isn’t the reason why he does it.

One tap and it just does the thing.
Moonlight already does that. You can have an icon on your home screen that when you click it automatically loads a stream connection to your home PC and runs that game.

Now when you tap that icon on the Home Screen, your phone taps into the massive power and connivence of an already working rig at home and streams it to your device!

Moonlight, Sunshine and Xbox have also been a thing for a very long time.
Or are you mocking their failed Steam Machine?

Hubble proved it but it was also in Einstein’s equations. He thought his equations should balance so he added a fudge factor. That fudge factor was the experimentally proved Hubble Constant. Without the fudge factor, the universe expands.
- Comment on Feynman rules 1 week ago:
Feynman actually did try to explain
Not in that particular interview which was very annoying. Feynman knew magnetism better than most people on the planet and instead of explaining it, he went off on the reporter for a badly phrased question.
He could have explained that magnetism and the electric field are the exact same thing seen from different reference frames. Instead he spent 5 minutes on why the reporter’s question was stupid.

You are doing the libertarian thing and completely and repeatedly ignoring context. Do you also try to argue “woke DEI is the real racism?”
What the fuck are you talking about?
You have made many wrong statements and I have been very patient with you.
misinterpret this letter — exactly as you are doing — to subjugate women in the here and now,
There is no context that excuses the passages.
Using the Bible to subjugate women in the here and now isn’t the argument at all.
We are talking about the Bible.
correcting the record for a historical document that academics understand
The problem is you haven’t corrected anything! You posted a translation that shows absolutely no difference in sexism from other translations. Your claim it was for only for Timothy is refuted by Corinthians. You claim that that the region of Turkey during the time period of Timothy was a Matriarchy is false. Paul’s writings are inexcusable.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 1 week ago:
Ephesus is not a patriarchal society
Outside of priestesses, it was a patriarchal society. Greece had priestesses too. The existence of a priestess doesn’t make a patriarchal society.
Prohibitions against dressing fancy for women and only women has nothing to do with combatting paganism. Men participated in the cult of Artemis yet Paul said nothing about restricting men. Paul does not mention paganism nor heresy.
Paul did not make those proscription just for Timothy. He said “I”. Your version did not show any mistranslation.
Corinthians also says woman should not speak in church in so it cannot be a special case only for Timothy.

Whenever the men lift up their hands to address God, I want their hands to be clean, not soiled with resentment or quarrel. In the same way, women need to present themselves reasonably - with dignity and self-discipline. Not with extravagant hairstyles, golden jewelry, expensive pearls, or decadent clothes, but in alignment with the values of a woman who claims to serve God: by setting a good example in how they live and behave. Let them learn, but they must be calm and composed students. I will not give my permission for a woman to seize control of teaching from a man. They must conduct themselves peacefully. Remember the story of Adam and Eve. Adam, who came first, was not deceived, but Eve, who came later, was tricked into doing wrong.
You believe this is the correct translation yet it doesn’t change the problem at all.
“women need to present themselves reasonably - with dignity and self-discipline. Not with extravagant hairstyles, golden jewelry, expensive pearls, or decadent clothes, but in alignment with the values of a woman who claims to serve God:”
Where is the admonishment that men should do the same?
remember what I said about Ephesus being the seat of the matriarchal Artemis cult.
" I will not give my permission for a woman to seize control of teaching from a man.
Even if the problem is that he is talking about the Cult of Artemis, it cannot be an admonishment that ONLY WOMEN do not have permission. There is no mention that men or women shouldn’t follow pagan religions. It is only an admonishment against women. As such there is no textual support that this was anti pagan rhetoric.
Again Paul says that he doesn’t support women to seize control of teaching. It therefore cannot be about the cult of Artemis.

you have the choice of either believing and following (assuming the Christian god) to go to heaven or not believing and following and burning in eternal torment.
That’s known as Pascal’s wager. There were many criticisms by Laplace, Voltaire, and many other philosophers. The problem is it presupposes that the only God is the Christian God defined in the Bible. Whereas other Gods (and there are an infinite possible God’s) such as Zeus wouldn’t condemn you to torment for non belief. Plus the infinite Gods that would torment you for praying to the wrong God.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
The paragraph before it says this: “Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”
So that too must be just a letter and not a doctrinal command from god.
And Paul says “I don’t permit.” Not “You shouldn’t permit.” So it’s also how the rest of the Christian church was run. It wasn’t a special instruction for Timothy because of special circumstances. Not that ANY circumstances justify such a prohibition.
“Don’t allow heresy.” is fine. Paul doesn’t doesn’t prohibit Men from teaching heresy or dressing immodestly. (The excuse some give is this was a letter because of the Cult of Artemis.)

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Except for all those bits I don’t agree with which are mistranslations. And those other bits which you have to ignore because of the context of the time it was written.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
this has been terribly mistranslated
Ther original is in Greek. There is no mistranslation.
Paul says, “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.” If it was about heretics, it would have said so. If it was about Timothy’s church only, he would have said so.
Paul said “I” don’t permit it. He didn’t say “You” shouldn’t permit it. That means the Christian church, even without the cult of Artemis, should not permit women to teach or have authority over men.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
The virtue is to not let a woman teach or have authority over a man. It is New Testament. There is no mis translation.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
Christianity continued this tradition by obviating all those old laws l
This is New Testament!
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that cherrypicking? If you discount what Paul says to Timothy as being applicable only to his church then you have to discount the rest:
" For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, "
“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”
There is nothing in the text to suggest that Paul was instructing only Timothy about a special case for his church. Paul said " I do not permit." He didn’t say, “You shouldn’t permit.”
