RE: Magnum Mysterium

in #ethics5 years ago (edited)

Just watched the video. It is a good quality video but I don't see how it dismantles Abrahamic law. It just summarizes the book of Job, and a very short summary at that leaving out what I think are the best bits.

What stood out to me was the part near the end, when "YHWH" actually "explains itself".

The case is an appeal to complexity, which is a classic appeal to ignorance.

I'm so great and smart and you're a worm who can't possibly comprehend the true scope of my ultimate genius.

And (IFF) you accept that argument as fact (THEN) "YHWH" is incomprehensible and any words or laws attributed to it are twisted and unreliable "interpretations" by mere mortal worms.

It also drives home the point that being rich =/= good and being poor =/= bad.

I also find it shocking that the story seems to imply that after the death of your entire immediate family, everything is just great when you get remarried and have double the number of kids.

How lucky is that Job guy!! Because every0one knows that your immediate family are just, you know, basically FUNGIBLE ASSETS.

This appeal to complexity is what stuck me as well. Found it in this yesterday, https://steemit.com/vaccines/@marymg2014/a-shot-in-the-dark-2020-documentary-please-watch-and-share

Here's the vid with an exect time code of what I am refering to

The DOCTOR is so great and smart and you're a worm who can't possibly comprehend the true scope of my ultimate genius.

Thanks for the excellent time-coded link!

And Bobby De Niro?

Have you written "worm"? Can't comprehend your genius. True! ;-)

I've seen Robert De Niro the first time in this context. Don't know what this had lead to. Probably nothing good. Perhaps the contrary.
