  1. The Dawkins delusion, runs through this thread like a it's a binary question that has correct answer.
  2. Welcome to our brave new world, in which thinking is the savage...
  3. When one understands why some people needs a god, it's for those that don't really understand the bible, then one also understands why a god is unnecessary, for others... You're conflating again, this time it's trust and belief; I don't have to believe that my computer will work bc I trust in the on switch...
  4. This is an interesting hypothesis. Universe emerged from time, not from space? New theory shows how "It is believed that matter, motion, gravity, and everything else we know of originated from the three dimensions of space and one of time. However, a new idea challenges this theory, suggesting that time, specifically in three dimensions, is the true fabric of the universe, with space emerging as a secondary effect.."
  5. I think the problem is, we already rely on security cameras both individually and nationally; "we" also don't want to pay for enough police to scan the images we've allowed to be taken. This is the perfect, almost inevitable, testing ground for AI to be accepted by the public, if it gets enough hits to drown out the noise of the occasional innocent, then the public are happy to accept its protection; when they're the innocent, it's too late to object.
  6. There are many studies on the subject, do I have too???
  7. Indeed, but there is evidence to suggest there is one. Fairness, is a complex issue in our primate brothers attitude to life...
  8. Bolded mine; of course it does, it's practically Newtonian or Socratian if you prefer, any damage you do to other's, you do to yourself. It's like a god substitute for criminal's on the run; they often welcome capture as an escape from the reality of being paranoid... 😉 Bc it corallated with my thoughts on the subject.
  9. I think the problem here is on the input side of the equation, but as @iNow suggests that would be reduced by human intervention on the output side. They might just do it for a laugh, to start with... ☹️
  10. Your conflating people's cultural bias/philosophy (their personal belief system) with a methodology that seeks to eliminate culteral bias. Theoretically science doesn't evolve, in the way society does; there should, at least, be a culteral 'seasonal lag'. Most religion's are born of some sort of conflict or hardship, they mostly espouse some sort of call for forgiveness in the hope of peace. It's politicos that call for war, mostly in the face of the forgiven bc we all know what sort barstewards the Samaritans are... 😉
  11. I think that's bc it's an attempt to explain the same idea but without a god as the ultimate enforcer, instead the idea of karma is introduced, as a different metaphor. Indeed, not everyone is equally capable of understanding the message, but everyone is capable of thinking they're a genius, despite the evidence; is that a uniquely religious quality, in these here part's?
  12. And now your being dishonest, I've directly answered your post's with reasoned argument's. If you've run out of reasonable arguments maybe you should stop digging. Otherwise, the onus is on you to be more specific, and quote the post's you claim I've forgotten...
  13. Bc that's often the word used as a derogatory term when applied to religion, but we're all indoctrinated into our own particular society. What metric would you use to test an emotional decision? How is that relevant? Why would you think a factory worker is dumb? You seem determined to miss the point; not everyone thinks like you and who are you to dictate what people should think. An ubermenche/superman is an ordinary human being, that understands the best way to survive our current culteral termoil, and be content with it and he also has the ability to teach that message to the majority of their society; not everyone has that particular ability as history can attest...
  14. You could try not giving a shit, it works for me..
  15. When science finally unveils the "truth", I think we'll see a big sign in the sky saying "Level 2". 😇 Every culture in history have teachers, how else do we indoctrinate the children with the ability to survive our culture?? Not everyone can be bothered to try, a working class culture often scoffs at the idea of academia bc it has no value when working down mines, the idea of a god protecting them is quite attractive... 😉 This sounds a lot like a middle class cultural attitude. Not everyone can understand, how else do we fill the factories???
  16. The Nt kinda proves the OT wrong... Do you want me to provide the voices?
  17. Someone had stab at this, they called it the 'selfish gene'; I'm not saying they're right, all the time, but sometimes I find it quite useful... 😉
  18. It's not about the validity of the information, or it's testability, it's about the trust we put in the "truth" of the culture we grew up in. It doesn't, I'm just trying to emphasise that everyone has different capabilities; science, for instance, isn't very good at tackling emotional issue's, or finding a metric that measures contentment. But you seem to be suggesting that everyone can be a scientist, if they follow the "truth"... Would it matter? It's not a short-cut to understanding...
  19. gee, if you say so...
  20. Indeed a different draft of reality via our co-pilot...
  21. Science is wrong now, but that doesn't mean that your right then...
  22. Thanks for trying, thinking about it, I'm not sure what we could do if studies showed a validity to my argument; which one don't we vaccinate against?
  23. I fully accept I'm wrong certainly genetically in terms of evolution and the points above. I may get myself confused sometimes, but I'm not trying to dodge a question or trying to win an argument. But I did wonder if there is any traction on the idea that our immune system is weakend bc of vaccines, sort of bc it's a weakened virus, when compared to a survivor of the full strength virus; I fully accept that not vaccinating is a stupid idea.
