It just does it because it can and because it wants to

If I shut down your brain you will have nothing but a dead body

wild sapphire
feral river
#

You brain contains everything that a conscience would exist, the memory, the processing, and response system, they were connected in between through electricity

wild sapphire
#

You speak about the physical processes, but our brains are like cd players- you have one cd playing in yours, ā€œMachiavelli’a Greatest Hits Collectionā€

#

And I have another in mine

feral river
#

That’s electricity working in your brain but very low

wild sapphire
#

We are dancing to different songs

feral river
#

You are just a very advanced computer

wild sapphire
#

If what you are doing can even be called a dance

#

More like a dangerous flailing of limbs

feral river
#

Even your processing unit was just like a computer dude

wild sapphire
#

That we possess computers is not in question and is actually irrelevant

#

The question is why your computer is running the programs it is

haughty storm

wild sapphire
#

And this likewise applies to myself

feral river
#

If I shut it down then you are dead, and your conscience will also dead

feral river
#

Conscience is not something that is out of the brain

haughty storm

#

You aren’t talking to our topic anymore

#

Good we have brains, if our brains die, we die

#

Okay and

feral river
#

So what’s the point ?

#

I thought you said conscience tho

wild sapphire
#

I think what you are actually trying to say is what I already identified about you

#

You are an atheist, and you have followed this world view to its brutalist natural logical conclusion

#

And this is why you think the way you do

wild sapphire
#

Yes i already know minecraft

feral river
#

That’s the belief, science is not about you are believing it

wild sapphire
#

No need to repeat what we established at the beginning

feral river

They proving it

#

They are proving, that is part of the brain

This was very clear right ?

thorny steeple

#

What do you expect

feral river
#

Just go on let me see how you gonna prove they exist

wild sapphire
#

We will talk again Lord willing

feral river
#

And we are still observing the universe

#

They have conclusion by observation, not imagination

coral belfry
feral river
#

Imagination was also part of your brain, comes from the energy you consume from your food that assigned by your brain

#

If you consumed some drugs, there will be some crazy image you will see so that’s almost irrelevant to reality

And that could be forged

BREAKING NEWS MINECRAFT_652 IS A 4'8 FEMBOY

wild sapphire
#

If I leave I don’t know when we will continue

thorny steeple
manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

How do you want to continue

haughty storm
#

Or muscular 6'4 we don't know either

manic juniper
#

Saying it was god is just jumping to conclusions without basing it off any credible model

wild sapphire
#

The word dinosaur was invented in 1842- before that they were called dragons

#

Call it singularity or call it God

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

We need not be specific

manic juniper
#

Dinosaurs were called birds

wild sapphire
#

At this stage of the argument it is not necessary to establish which God or Singularity we are referring to

manic juniper
#

Before non-avian dinosaurs were discovered there likely weren't any fossils of dinosaurs that were mistaken for dragons, it rather was mammoth and other Pleistocene mammal bones

wild sapphire
#

I think the key difference is whether or not the Singularity was rooted in nature or existed apart from it

#

Or at least one of them

manic juniper
#

Nothing points at it being supernatural

wild sapphire
#

I think that from everything we can observe in nature, we can conclude that it was

manic juniper
#

The initial singularity isn't the most supported model either, only if you limit yourself to general relativity

wild sapphire
#

Describe the peculiar qualities of the Singularity

#

Self existent, possessing no source

#

The first push- without any pusher

#

Eternal and preexistent

spice tusk
#

This is getting very philosophical lmao

wild sapphire
#

There is nothing in nature that possesses all of these qualities

#

It is already above nature in that respect

manic juniper
#

It's not eternal, it's in the name: initial, means in the beginning

wild sapphire
#

But from where

manic juniper
#

I would rather have them read slowly what's being said or not inventing stuff

wild sapphire
#

In nature it is not observed to have a push without a pusher, an effect without cause

#

This is not natural

#

It either created itself

#

Well i mean that’s all there is

spice tusk
#

Well, we’re also talking about a point in the universe that we don’t fully understand

wild sapphire
#

You presume it had a starting point because you assume it follows the laws of naturw

manic juniper
#

Could've been a collectivity of deities, why did it need to be one or to have a quantity

wild sapphire
#

But for some reason you only assume this and ignore the other problems

wild sapphire
manic juniper
#

No, they presume it has a starting point because it's based off general relativity. Once you add quantum mechanics it's very different, it can very well be a loop or cycle

wild sapphire
#

I said we need not pick a specific deity at this point

#

Or even which pantheon or collection

manic juniper
thorny steeple
wild sapphire
#

Merely that the Initiator is already superseding almost every observable natural law merely by existing

#

And because of this, it is arbitrary for you to assume that it would not be eternal

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

It bucks every other known natural convention

#

Why would you assume it would conform to natural law solely on this point

#

It is the Singularity in every way you can think of it

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

The Singularity is distinct in its inherent logical qualities form nearly everything else

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

And yet for some reason you presume it is not eternal

manic juniper
#

You don't use a Chinese man's experience in 2025 to determine how ancient Egyptians lived in 4500 BC

wild sapphire
manic juniper
#

And this is an even more absurd matter, it goes back billions if not even to infinity (assuming the Big Bounce model is real)

wild sapphire
#

Its singular and unique set of qualities makes it so

coral belfry
manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

Supernatural here meaning that it rises above the norms and repeatable processes we can expect to find at nearly every instance of natural observation

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

Because it would abnormal to assume it

#

Nature does not indicate this ever happens

#

Argue with me about the qualities of this Singularity, is it intelligent or not, if so, who or what is it

#

A turtle perhaps

#

But it is inherently supernatural already

#

Holy fucking shit

wild sapphire
#

I am not interested in having you debate two people

manic juniper
#

It's no mystery that mammals are responsible for all that is evil on this world, they would rather create an enemy out of nothing than face reality when it doesn't suit them

It isn’t courteous

Hello

#

We will assume the best of both parties and chalk it up to the challenges of communicating in languages that are non native to either of you

#

Also it is just frustrating to not be understood

manic juniper
#

You really didn't, if you really paid attention to the whole argument I didn't say anywhere that any model disproves god, in fact it wasn't really part of my original statement. I simply said what was there before the Big Bang according to some models

thorny steeple

None of which prove or disprove god, or are in any way related to god's existence in the first place

Theory of general relativity establishes universe has a beginning and helps establish when it might have been begun but it does nothing towards altering the supernatural qualities of the source of such a beginning

manic juniper
manic juniper
#

It establishes a beginning of time which is different from creation

wild sapphire
#

Yes yes, i changed it

#

I saw what you would focus on i know

#

We will not use such loaded language when i can catch it

manic juniper
#

There is nothing supernatural about general relativity unless I missed it

#

If there is I'd like to know

wild sapphire
#

Beginning from nothing is not

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

Although, i say this for rhetorical purposes

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

In reality, i do not like the word supernatural

manic juniper
#

Nowhere it implies ex nihilo

#

You need to address only what's being said, I cannot argue points that I didn't make

wild sapphire
#

I believe that you are stating that nature itself need not come from a source

#

It did not come from nothing

manic juniper
#

My position isn't even this, I was just describing one of the main models

wild sapphire
#

I see

manic juniper
#

I don't have enough knowledge on general relativity or quantum mechanics to have an opinion on it and I don't find it particularly interesting

wild sapphire
#

You are once again serving as a clinical dispensary of knowledge and data, which is a useful service I suppose

#

Thank you

manic juniper
#

Vitun hyvin

wild sapphire
#

Anyway, I feel that anything God does, and I recognize I am skipping to the end, is entirely natural, as anything He would be responsible for would of course be natural- He is the originator of natural processes

#

Nature wasn’t natural till He made it to begin with

wild sapphire
#

Likewise, and many more

manic juniper
#

If there was no nature then what's the point of even giving it features when it doesn't exist as a concept

manic juniper
wild sapphire
# manic juniper ?

You love to say things in other languages or runes or whatever and decline to ever translate them so it behooves my mischievous nature to interpret whatever you said in any way I wish

manic juniper
#

Runes? What

wild sapphire
#

I don’t know what they are

manic juniper
#

Orientalism, got it

wild sapphire
#

We all of us do our best with the limited vocabulary we each possess to describe what is in front of us

#

You should assume good faith

#

People find dinosaur bones, assume they are dragons- well how could they call them dinosaurs before the word was invented

manic juniper
#

Except they didn't

wild sapphire
#

We will allow that they did the best job they could describing what they did not with what words they had to use

manic juniper
#

It's a literal myth

#

Can I base my argument off myths and misconceptions too

wild sapphire
#

Just as a matter of casual curiosity on my part

#

Not rhetorical, sincere

manic juniper
manic juniper
#

Dragons specifically come from the ancient Proto-Indo-European myth of the rain god fighting against a primordial serpent

wild sapphire
#

Again i am asking for wikifrun

manic juniper
wild sapphire
#

Hmm

manic juniper
#

I know what it means in my language, which already doesn't directly translate into dragon

#

It translates into salmon snake

wild sapphire
#

Cool

#

I noticed that the word salmon shows up a bit more often in finnish than i accustomed to

#

At least as i recall the rainbow trout conversation

manic juniper
#

It doesn't

wild sapphire
#

How would you know what i am accustomed to lol

#

Too far too far a reach

manic juniper
#

Because you only saw it twice and ran with it

wild sapphire
#

In english you we basically use the word to describe one type of fish, at least, colloquially

#

Then i find that you call rainbow trout salmon

#

As well as some sort of dragon type creature

#

In addition it would seem to what we would also call salmon

manic juniper
#

Trouts don't really exist cladistically

#

It's more accurate to call them salmons

wild sapphire
#

Interesting

#

Well thank you for sharing with the chat as always

Well pleasant afternoon or whatever time it is for you

manic juniper
#

The sheer irony of saying that is lost on me

wild sapphire
manic juniper
#

I am curious now

wild sapphire
#

Well in this conversation- i say it is interesting- a statement that reflects my thoughts- and then you counter it by saying it isn’t- a statement that centers it back on yourself

#

I say that your use of salmon is more than i am accustomed to

#

And then once again counter my own assertion of my perspective with your own

#

Well, perhaps it isnt interesting to you

#

And perhaps it is not more than you are accustomed to

#

But why would you presume i share these thoughts

i'm welcome to the idea that religious passages told concepts that preceded modern time researches. even if skeptics presumed most came from simple intuition and weren't entirely novel ideas, they're still prescient and they did build the intellectual spark for people at the time to learn.

#

but some prophet recounts are straight up questionable

wild sapphire
#

i am familiar with several of the hadiths

rocky coyote
#

i was raised muslim, and my dad once bought me a book on the bits of sciences expressed vaguely in the qur'an and hadiths. its been years since i opened it but the majority of ideas were scientifically viable. they had huge merits as insights of daily life conducts i.e navigation, food components, health and eating habits through a worshipped book, but the attempts at proving disbelievers wrong on the more abstract topics in the end got a bit unchallenging

the arguments on the islamic behalf is too "presupposed". it's almost just pushing subjectivities down the other person's throat.

It's truly mind boggling beyond belief, unbelievable. You kill, imprison, and harass people over something you deeply believe in yet have no objective standards to prove it with. All your "evidence" is basically your personal preference in literature, and you call that "scientifically and methodologically" proven.

It's only controversial because of emotions. Muslim Arabic speakers are emotionally drawn to the Quran and they think it's because it has any value on its own. But non-Muslim Arabic speakers know that it's bullshit.

It truly scratches my mind how they state the weakest arguments with iron confidence. As if they saw and talked to their god before.

Please rate these claim sentences about star wars: The force’s believe-in-yourself-nature may arguably be the most appealing aspect towards Star Wars; a Hillbilly farm kid becoming a hero among an oppressive tyranny through believing in himself reflects the viewer’s inner wants.

And yet, George Lucas’s addition of midichlorians placing an almost pure emphasis on the need of genetics undermines the appealing , majestical spirituality of the force: ā€œnow anyone can become somebody if they are a one-in-a-quadrillion eliteā€.

Ultimately, George Lucas’s almost surreal blindness to the true nature of the force—spirituality and belief—reveals his true being as a pulp-fiction director that struck gold.

i didn't find any issue with the midichlorians

#

i think they work together in tandem to affect goals and processes

#

the idea is native to my own way of thinking as a Christian

so the midichlorians do not detract from the more spiritual components of the Force, to me

to me it just served to emphasize Anakin was something exceptional even amongst the Jedi

cunning moth

#

you see a total of four force users

sorry, five

cunning moth

#

ofc the hero is going to be exceptional- this narrative has its own intrinsic virtue

just because it is not the message you want it to be doesn't mean it is a bad message

#

heroes are exceptional- they act when others will not

#

do you feel this way about super hero movies

i mean, he is surrounded by every day heroes as well, lando, han, leia, all exceptional individuals

cunning moth

#

is that what star wars is saying when anakin is shown to be a deeply flawed person whose inner demons destroy the jedi order, and ruins everything

#

his exceptional powers do not end up helping him save the galaxy

#

in the end, it is a selfless act of love for his son that does it

#

and this in response to Luke's own sacrifice

#

it is not force powers, or lightsabers, that wins the day here

#

whatever potential anakin might have possessed is squandered when he falls to his own temptations and demons

cunning moth
wild sapphire
#

in the prequels, the elites are the jedi

#

and they ruin everything due to their hubris and pride

#

their most elite member, anakin, is blinded by his own arrogance due to his elite nature and destroys everything he loves most including himself

#

power blinds them all and they set the galaxy on fire due to their failure

#

in the original trilogy, it is a motley crew of friends that save the galaxy working together

#

and ultimately it is their love for each other, and luke's love for an irredeemable monster, that redeems vader back to the light, and sets things right

i think you have this perspective due to last jedi, when its advocates tried to support rian johnson's hackneyed writing as being good for star wars

there is a synergy between the flesh and the spirit that is expressed in use of the force

anyway, go ahead and write your paper lol, i just like talking about star wars

the midichlorians only gave a name to what the original trilogy alluded to

In the realm of contemporary discourse, the significance of eloquence and articulate expression cannot be overstated. The ability to convey thoughts with precision and sophistication is a hallmark of intellectual prowess. This essay endeavors to elucidate the paramount importance of cultivating a rich vocabulary and employing complex linguistic structures in both written and spoken communication.

Language serves as the bedrock of human interaction, facilitating the exchange of ideas, emotions, and cultural nuances. A robust vocabulary empowers individuals to articulate their thoughts with clarity and depth, transcending the limitations of simplistic expression. The lexicon one possesses is not merely a collection of words; it is a reflection of one’s cognitive engagement with the world. The more extensive one’s vocabulary, the more adept one becomes at navigating the intricacies of discourse, whether in academic, professional, or social contexts.

Moreover, the utilization of complex vocabulary can significantly enhance the persuasiveness of an argument. In the realm of rhetoric, the strategic deployment of sophisticated terminology can captivate an audience, engendering a sense of authority and credibility. For instance, employing terms such as "ubiquitous" instead of "common" or "ameliorate" in place of "improve" can elevate the discourse, prompting listeners or readers to engage more critically with the content presented. This elevation of language not only enriches the communicative experience but also fosters a deeper intellectual engagement with the subject matter.

wild sapphire
#

this is why obi-wan hides luke and leia- because they are the children of anakin skywalker

thorny steeple
#

Furthermore, the mastery of complex vocabulary is intrinsically linked to the cultivation of critical thinking skills. Engaging with advanced linguistic constructs necessitates a nuanced understanding of context, connotation, and the multifaceted nature of meaning. This cognitive exercise encourages individuals to analyze and synthesize information more effectively, fostering a mindset that values depth over superficiality. In an age characterized by the rapid dissemination of information, the ability to discern and articulate complex ideas is an invaluable asset.

In addition to enhancing personal expression and critical thinking, a sophisticated vocabulary can also serve as a bridge to diverse cultural and intellectual traditions. Language is a vessel of culture, and the words we choose to employ often carry with them the weight of historical and philosophical significance. By embracing a more complex lexicon, individuals can access a broader spectrum of literature, philosophy, and art, enriching their understanding of the human experience. This cultural literacy not only broadens one’s horizons but also fosters empathy and appreciation for the myriad perspectives that exist within the global tapestry of human thought.

However, it is imperative to approach the use of complex vocabulary with discernment. The indiscriminate application of sophisticated terms can lead to obfuscation rather than clarity. Effective communication hinges on the ability to tailor one’s language to the audience and context. Thus, while the pursuit of an expansive vocabulary is commendable, it must be balanced with the principles of clarity and accessibility. The ultimate goal of communication should be to foster understanding, not to alienate or confuse.

wild sapphire
thorny steeple
#

In conclusion, the cultivation of a complex vocabulary is a multifaceted endeavor that enriches personal expression, enhances critical thinking, and fosters cultural literacy. As individuals navigate the complexities of modern discourse, the ability to articulate thoughts with sophistication and precision will remain an invaluable asset. By embracing the nuances of language, we not only elevate our own communicative capabilities but also contribute to a more thoughtful and engaged society. The journey toward linguistic mastery is one that promises both personal and collective enrichment, underscoring the enduring power of words in shaping our world.

i took it to be that luke failed to see the world through a spiritual lens, focused as he was on the material world in front of him

#

he didn't realize the true power and reality that the force represents

wild sapphire
#

no

#

yoda is there to highlight the moral of that encounter

#

luke looks at yoda, and sees a tiny little guy, underestimates him

#

and then yoda lifts the giant x-wing out of the swamp- luke realizes in this moment that the world is more than the material realm, more than appearances

#

he was wrong to focus on the size of the ship, on the size of yoda- the force is greater than all of this

not luke himself

Although none of his works have survived, his opinions had been preserved through his critics and the surviving books that answered him.

Ibn al-Rawandi is considered an early example of what modern scholarship terms individual atheism or isolated intellectual dissent. Despite his polemical and critical approach, his thought did not give rise to a distinct school or following. Van Ess further noted that Ibn al-Rawandi "remained on the margins of Islamic theological discourse, and his ideas left no significant legacy."
