thank u, i read all of ur points, and altho will not address the points in depth, here are my thoughts:
solipsism, also known as moral relativism, is one of the tenets of satanism.
people struggle to accept the fact that truth is universal and absolute, that there is such a thing as absolute rights and wrongs. futhermore, we are so far removed from knowing what is true and what is not, that the best we can do when educating are approximations.
the truth starts with the "law of one" - everyone matters, actions of one man effect others' lives, no matter how far removed.
then the 10 commandments were introduced, which can really be reduced to the 5 wrongs - what not to do.
now multiple societies (groups of people united for a common purpose) have sprung up, and the man-made rules are more numerous than ever. the further from the truth (true knowledge), the more numerous the man-made laws.
Re: bad ideas:
- bugs: how does one ensure that each bug is clean, of feces and parasites?
- electric car culture: why do we need so many batteries? where are the thorium-powered engines? most electric cars are still charged using energy generated from petroleum varieties (blood of the earth).
- religion: true christianity is not a religion but a righteous way of life. it's not about following the textbook, but thinking for urself first, and then looking for the truth inside the passages. it's like thinking while following a template, rather than being led by the words. just like any technology, it can be used for bad or good. chat GPT can construct a useful outline, but beware of asking it to think for u.
- whole foods: if a healthful food is not available, i wud rather fast than eat trash - this is most familiar to people with allergies. have u considered the effects of long-term sugar intake and seed oils on the brain and thoughts that brain can produce? a good 2-3 days fast does not kill a regular man (exclude diabetics, neonates, etc). oh yeah, what about the break-fast psyop (that it's somehow the most important meal of the day?).
i am very happy about the discussions my post triggers 🤓
We'll have to agree to disagree here. I fundamentally cannot find myself in the following statement:
solipsism, also known as moral relativism, is one of the tenets of satanism. people struggle to accept the fact that truth is universal and absolute, that there is such a thing as absolute rights and wrongs.
- solipsism is different from moral relativism, as far as i know
- it's not because I'm a moral relativist that i have anything to do with satanism. That's a not sequitur.
- sounds like circular reasoning. Invoking it as a fact that truth is absolute. Truth is man-made to me. Nothing absolute to me. It's just that a lifestyle that doesn't harm others too much is most likely to survive in the long term, hence it's good enough for me to live by such lifestyle.
Anyhow... You've got your truth, i got mine (spoken as a moral relativist~~).
Have a good day :)

i wud cast a stronger spell on u if i cud; i gotta study more, for now i am out of arguments 😇
one more thing... u have a very logical mind, posting really cool problems. i am out of practice, so i started reviewing math & geometry so i can tackle those.
many are stuck in the logical side of the brain. the abstract side has to be engaged in order to achieve holistic thought - so many things become clear, rapidly. then there is Stephen Hawking - he ventured so far left that he emerged on the right, without passing thru the median (that's why medi-tation is so helpful).

Thanks for the kind words.
And yeah, maybe one day I'll manage to tap into the abstract side of my brain. It's a gift and a curse to be be very/too logical. My wife does not always like it~~
