I think they dropped a T
I'm not to familiar with Jewish customs but aren't those candles part of a metaphor for the dawn of creation. The seven days to create the cosmos? How is that not part of the origin story of the everything?
How so, isn't it a definite origin for how all of the everything got here and what it means to be part of the origin. Is there a religion without an origin story implied or actuated?
I always thought it was open and then women. Open for any to join then a women's team if there were enough women playing the sport. My highschool had a girl play on the football team, I think it was because we didn't have a girls football team but w/e.
That does two things immediately - it distances people from sound reason, and it sets them against all of the people who doubt their make-believe absolute truth, and especially those who have chosen to believe some other make-believe absolute truth.
Yeah I think this is the heart of the issue, thank you for articulating it better than I could. I only wish I knew of a way to get people out of this deeply dug groove. but perhaps it might not be as good of a thing as I hope.
Yeah it almost seemed like a long fight with what words mean. We had to talk about qualifiers on what someone says when they say they know something, and which qualifiers I assume when someone says it to me or I to others.
So I recently had a long car ride with a person who had some strong views on absolute truth. I am of the opinion that absolute truth needs an arbitrator or some mechanism for consensus for a truth to be an absolute for a group of people.
They kept saying that the lack of absolute truth is the problem with modern society. That god is the only arbiter of absolute truth, and I couldnt get an answer on how we mortals are able to divine such things.
It was real frustrating when they wouldn't agree that the as a society, we give the justice system the ability to arbitrate truth.
When I told them that I dont think absolute truths exists he told me that was an absolute truth I believed
I have seen a lot of people who claim that an absolute truth exists and I have seen that thought process color their interactions in society. I think this belief system is a cancer on society and that religions are cultivating it.
I think the idea of an absolute truth being able to be uncovered is quite comforting to these people, and for people who do t consider themselves to be religious these religious ideas persist into their life.
Anyway, just thought I would share.
I always strive to see the nuiance in people, believe as little as possible, change my opinions on matters when appropriate, see absolute truth as a mechanism for arbiters to control.
Thoughts?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the Bible fits into this idea, an invention of the church.
Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it's weird. I think it's in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.
Transporting across state lines is weird and federally regulated.
Why not just metric, so we can get those metric seconds, then daylight time wouldn't matter anymore.
Yeah it really only matters what you are comfortable with, if you get units you aren't comfortable with then it gets confusing. I almost feel like metric folk don't realize that the USA is like 50 EU states in size, and this disconnect causes them some rage at seeing imperial units. At the human level I still can't comprehend Celsius, mostly cuz those numbers have meanings in fahrenheit, sure makes for some cognitive dissonance to heard 35 degrees thinking you would need snow gear to hearing it's unbearably hot.
I would love this but as a meme like those two crows from Rick and Morty.
How many people need ai implants before we get a full on bulterian jihad?
This is an easy fix, just cruise craigslist and get a fixer upper. Put some sweat into it and boom boat owner. It wont be anything fancy, but you could get out on the water.
This is my hobie 18. I mostly sail inland lakes. I got it because I was tired of taking my pocket cruiser out and it not moving because there wasnt enough wind. This cat will move in much lighter blows.
