What’s cool is we don’t even have to wait for the collapse, we can start working towards the greater good today!

Yeah, I absolutely agree. I think encouraging a scientific perspective (forming conclusions based on testing, while being open to the idea that those conclusions might change with additional testing) is incredibly important because it fosters the attitude that there are a lot of things we can’t know “for sure”, but we can be confident enough in our knowledge to take action, and humble enough to admit when we’re wrong.
You can get pretty far in life just by applying the scientific method and the golden rule.
Sorry about your friend. I hope that despite their distorted world view they’re still able to maintain healthy relationships and find/provide love and happiness, because at a personal level I think that’s the most important thing someone can achieve.
That’s wild, but I almost can’t blame some kids for their misconceptions. Stories about Captain America fighting Nazis blur “reality” in a weird way because stories can be interpreted both literally and symbolically.
Like, the idea of Captain America being a “real” bio-engineered person might not seem as crazy to a person after they learn about something like MKUltra lol
The more we advance science and technology the more plausible our fantasy worlds become. You can still differentiate through experience, but I’ll cut high schoolers some slack since they just haven’t had that experience.
From my perspective the world high schoolers are growing up in today seems even more fantastical and comicbook-like than the one I grew up in as a high schooler.
Yeah that sounds cool af
I’m glad I got the opportunity to leverage my skills and knowledge in order to drive customer engagement and deliver wins as a team.
I probably should’ve used “ignorant” or “uneducated” instead of “stupid”.
What I was trying to say is that as long as people continue to have imperfect knowledge of the universe there will always be room for speculation/imagination.
Interesting idea, we’ll have to see how it plays out.
I called myself stupid in my own post, so I have no problem with other people reaching the same conclusion.
Believing something that is wrong can make people dangerous, and I think that’s cause for concern.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Atheists are more fun to talk to because they're more concerned about having facts and truth to backup their beliefs. Whereas if I get high and troll religious people they'd just think I'm another normal Christian, lol
It's cool how Mass Effect and Terminator could be seen as religious prophecies in some crazy future timeline.
Ah, so that’s what they mean by “the road to hell is paved with good in tensions”
