- Comment on If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms? 4 days ago:
Also, but not just, if we consider classical theism (pantheism), then there would be nothing that God isn’t. As God, if we would think of God as the foundation of all being, could not be anything that isn’t. Since what isn’t is without foundation.
Also, but not just, if we accept panentheism, where God is everything that is and isn’t.
Basically the only time that anybody would accept God as ‘made out of atoms’ is if that person accepts the inherently and explicitly atheistic view of metaphysical physicalism. Arguing for God from physicalism is like arguing for social healthcare as a (US) republican. There is an inherent disconnect between the two.

Square space efficient packaging that you can finish within spoiling time, allowing for fresher products without additives. Easier to pour, packaging easily collapses for easier disposal. Fully printable and recyclable. A superior packaging in every single way.

- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 2 months ago:
There probably were random kidnappings.
But they only allowed Jews to live in ghetto’s in Nazi cities, so they knew exactly where to go. From there they were indiscriminate and retaliatory. But there was segregation before the mass deportation of Jews.
Also it was about the purity of the german blood and shit like that, so there were more allegations for people to be considered degenerate enough to be deported. Gays, gypsies, retardation, whatnot.

- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
They are not mostly sugar, sugars are just a part of the nutrients. Most fruits don’t even have that much sugar in them, it varies wildly though. There is also the way these sugars are intertwined with fiber, that make it much harder for these sugars to be processed in your body. So the sugars are released over a greater period of time giving your body more time to react. as opposed to refined sugars. Fruits are always healthier than candy, cookies, or soda.
There is a lot more in fruits than just sugars, there are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers. Which are all necessary for a healthy body. Sugars as well are necessary for your body to function.
It is practically impossible, if you’re otherwise healthy, to eat too much fruit. I personally eat at the very least 3 kilos or 5 pounds of various fruits a week. within an otherwise varied (vegan) diet. I’ve done so for the past 10 years. I make sure to test my blood, and so far had zero issues except low vit. d. Which you can’t get from fruit.
Why is it healthy? Well, we evolved next to fruits. Our ancestors always plucked and eaten them for millions of years. Just like we’ve done with all kinds of plants. Our gi tract is the right length, our body cant make most vitamins itself and completely functions on sugars. Fruit is part of a varied diet.

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 3 months ago:
My goodness, these comments make me feel we’re back in the edgy atheism days. Please.
The reason is because those texts are much older, and that was the style of religion practiced back then. Most God stories and stories about Gods in that period were like it. Most city states and tribal states had their own Gods that reflected them, and conflicts were gravely exaggerated. Also literally everything that happened in that state were an attribute or reflection of that particular God. With stories of how that attribute came to be, which reflected back in the people and in that way religion was a complex social interaction.
The people who wrote the stories we now know as the old Testament didnt write them as a part of a bible. These were stories of people who were taken out of their states and captured. Forced to live outside their land, but they took their God with them. Who became this omnipresent God that would lead people back to a promised land. Including all the complex social interaction people had with their mostly oral religious stories and traditions.
And it’s the continued tradition that lead to the formation of religious scholarship and the idea that Gods could be of the earth and not just of a state. Which brought about new thoughts, new traditions, new religious complexity written down in the New Testament. Which lead to the desire to make religious books encapsulating all of religious thought.
And only much later came literalism, the mistake to take everything in the Bible literal. which sparked the formation of atheism as we know it today.

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 3 months ago:
-
Power can only travel that far. Electricity gets lost during transport.
-
The sun shines everywhere.
So given these two things there is always a point where it is cheaper to build your own solar system than to get it from far away.
-
There are more renewable sources of power. Wind. Water. Heat.
-
The desert isn’t an euphemism for empty. It’s a climatological zone.
-
There is political power in having control over electricity/power needs. The wild swings in oil prices reflect this fact. Reliance and necessity makes it far more logical to maintain your own source of electricity/power.

- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 3 months ago:
He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 3 months ago:
The problem will always be that you have to use an llm to ask questions in natural language. Which means it gets training data from outside whatever database you’re trying to get information from. There isn’t enough training data in an encyclopedia to make an llm.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 3 months ago:
that’s just circular reasoning, since understanding is needed for communication.

- Comment on Where has the tax money "saved" in uk austerity gone? 4 months ago:
Two things, firstly the one thing that needs to be avoided at all costs is raising taxes. Since this robs working and succesful people from their personal ability to take care of themselves and their families. Secondly that there needs to be a class distinction between the people who take advantage of the system and those who don’t. That is to say that in their mind society is functioning in such a way that anybody can ‘make it’ through some effort. And that those who supposedly don’t put in the effort aren’t supposed to be cuddled and given handouts, as an incentive to put in the effort as well.
There is perfectly fine education, care and protection through private parties. Just hire those. You can’t? Well I guess you aren’t trying hard enough. We can concentrate police presence in criminal neighbourhoods. We can concentrate care and education in the neighbourhoods that do function correctly.
This is their ideology I’m describing, not my own, just to be clear. Im being sarcastic.
Reality is ofcourse more nuanced than what im saying, after all the neocon ideology needs to exist in the real world and adapt to it. Which mostly seems to lead to populism.
- Comment on Where has the tax money "saved" in uk austerity gone? 4 months ago:
There are several dials that can be tweaked to balance the budget. A (neo)liberal is for low taxes, small government, and selfcare. So their cuts, when the governments expenses are higher then the incomes, are in public services. And they won’t put it back, because that’s against their ideology.

- Comment on Is it everywhere? 4 months ago:
Some sounds just become the thing they are supposed to represent. They aren’t used because there are no more sounds to be made. Two reasons.
First. Directors won’t use a schnauzer as a guard dog in a movie, because they don’t portrait the intention of a guard dog on screen. For exactly the same reason you can’t use a gong as a laser sound, it doesn’t portrait a laser.
Second. People have collected sounds and made them available. There are stock sounds, just like there are stock pictures.
And so, certain sounds have become used for certain things. And the more they are used the more iconic they become. The Wilhelm scream, red tailed hawk, and many more.
