I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.

This is what it feels like to grow old.
It actually makes sense as a campaigning song to me as long as your platform is about trying to address the social problems the song is highlighting.
Two weeks? I feel like 9 months minimum.
I like how in Trump’s world he thinks he needs to explain the internet to people.
Yeah, that’s a cool observation and it makes sense. There’s an idea that there’s really only one “story”, which is the hero’s journey. I think it might be a fundamental way of how people frame their experiences and observations.
Yep! I always understood the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil to be the Christian mythology’s explaination for the birth of consciousness. Once you’re conscious of the concepts of right and wrong you’ll be capable of feeling shame for your mistakes.
Throwing Eve under the bus is a real beta move.
Article titles like these always feel like a bit of a stretch. I would think the concept of race would extend as far back as homo sapiens vs neanderthals.
Obviously race is also a part of Christianity, but if I remember correctly the most relevant thing Jesus said about race is that salvation wasn’t just for the Jews and that God’s love extended to everyone. Weird how far off track Christianity can get when used as a populist tool for oppression.
Is it possible to go too far in one direction? You’ll never know unless you find out, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find out.
I think in his later years Feynman did LSD and started feeling more comfortable with the potential philosophical ramifications of his work. We have to draw a line somewhere as a starting point for our understanding of reality, but it’s important to always be willing to reconsider that line. That’s what good science is all about.
As long as she’s willing to put up with that nonsense I’d love to see her as president. But I can certainly imagine a person in her position not wanting to rock the boat and subject herself to that.
I’ve been reading The Screwtape Letters and having aot of fun with it. Lewis and Wormwood both know how to pull the levers to get an emotional reaction out of a person lol
During the AI goldrush you can make your fortune selling bookshelves.
I remember seeing Fred read the news on his stone tablet.
Absolutely. There’s a feeling of being more “present” in the world. It’s more stimulating for your senses, which I think is ultimately why your brain rewards you for it with dopamine.
I enjoy the thought of living a life worth dying for, but I suppose you could look at it as if I’m killing myself in order to live my life?
Driving a car is also a behavior that increases the chances of getting into an accident, but I don’t think think you’d call everyone who drives a car suicidal. (Or maybe you would, which I think would be totally fair based on your previous point.)
If I was speeding around without a helmet because I hated my life and wanted to die to get away from my responsibilities I think I’d be more likely to call that behavior “suicidal”.
I struggle to see how it is suicidal. I define suicide as “trying to kill yourself.” I don’t see how accepting my mortality and not letting the fear of death get in the way of enjoying my life could be classified as suicidal.
I have a salaried work from home job with no defined working hours. As long as the work gets done within SLAs the hours me and my team work are irrelevant.
Agreed that it’s insane. The way I look at it is that there is an inherent amount of danger in any activity. Doesn’t matter how safe or dangerous something is, conscious acceptance of the risk is satisfying.
Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.
