RE: New Libertarian Political Compass
There's nothing wrong with the center. As for religions, I guess I would have to take the agnostic label (can't prove to me he exists, can't prove to me he doesn't), but then again, Simulation Theory seems convincing too.
I can absolutely prove that God doesn't exist. I did a post on it last year but I guess it's a good time for a refresher ;) lol You should see my white board here. Got a lot of topics lined up.
Maybe our "god" is just an algorithm and we are all just variables in an array. Hell maybe we're not even code at all anymore, maybe we're just the conscious of a VR world's avatar, of an avatar, of an avatar......
The key is in the language. If we're talking about a computer system, then we have words for that and we shouldn't call it anything else. We don't point at a dog and call it a car... so if someone talks about space aliens or AI systems as being god, they aren't making a case for God, they're just using words wrong.
No. Illustrations. Allegories. Parables. Fables. Nursery rhymes. We say things and relate them to other things all of the time. Personification. There are so many things we do with these techniques. It helps us in so many ways.
Is the simulation theory kind of like what Dilbert creator Scott Adams talked about? Adams talked about how crazy life things could be explained if we were all inside a computer simulation virtual reality VR program alternative reality hologram Star Trek Holodeck Matrix thing.
not sure, but that sounds about right. elon musk has mentioned it a few times too.
great
But now he is trying to kill me.
have you heard the story about the boy who cried wolf?
