>PSR: every contingent thing needs an explanation, brute facts are cope
I reject it
>infinite regress of simultaneous causes impossible
This might be cope and unrelated but my belief is that the present teleogically causes the past and fixes uncertainty so no infinite regression in the past. So it's an infinite progression, and since you probably believe in eternal truth or something you can't reject an algorithm going for something like forever... In that sense I believe the present is the first cause. But that's an unproven belief so take it as is.
>so there's an uncaused, simple, necessary Being — the Absolute
Ok
>pure Being has no privation, so it's identical with perfect Goodness and Justice
Goodness and justice is undefined for that matter goodness might mean raping a child=good... Or to make thing consistent, goodness=anything that's possible, conceiveable, just like our everyday experience. You're using it as a macro
>cosmos is contingent
I don't know, I'm enclined to think it's not
>a perfectly Good and Just Creator would only make the optimal plan
Maybe, if you assume he has an agenda, which I don't
>optimal plan = bounded test (First Life) + terminal rectification (Second Life)

Okay so you forfeit all ability to make any causal claim about anything ever. Nothing has a reason for it, it just is.
You have abandoned rationality, contrary to your commitment.
>>
>>18490566
Btw how can you say the present causes the past when you reject PSR? Do you actually understand PSR? All PSR means is that something that didn't have to exist should have a reason for why it is the way it is. To reject it means nothing has a reason for why it is the way it is.
>>
>>18490590
I first observe something, then I make sure I can observe it in a replicable manner, then I try to model a mechanical reason for why that thing is, so I can predict what that thing will be or what it will do to its environment...
To me that's optimal rationality
The rest is guesswork for giggles
>>
>>18490687
The demand for a reason for why you observe something as the way it is, is itself assuming PSR. Look it up if you ever get the urge to understand my point

>Jesus was a jewish rabbi rebel who preached a radical revivalist judaism
>Jews don't like him and have the Romans kill him
>A small sect of 'Christians', who are jews, continuing believing in him
>The devout jew, Saul of Tarsus, persecutes these remnants, but realises he can use this sect, which preaches universalism and meekness, to undermine Rome (Judaism's archenemy) with the consent of the jewish elite
>Saul, now Paul, travels to Greece and Rome and elsewhere outside of Judea (Jesus never did this) to preach this religion that is judeo-centric but its followers necessarily aren't
>This gains traction with the losers of Roman society; eventually, as Christianity spreads throughout centuries, powerful figures notice the benefits of joining this cult
>Constantine wins at the Milvian Bridge and, throughout a long thirty-year rule, destroys the idolatrous goyim faiths and forces the Roman Empire into being semitophiles
>Fait Accompli, military force, trade benefits, and monarchic initiatives are more or less the explanation for how it continues to spread from here

I have been doing my absolute best to find any evidence for an ancient "Israel" but I fail to find any primary and contempary sources.
Herodotus visited the region and only spoke in ancient times and made no mention of "Israel", "Judea" or Hebrews...

I wasn’t going to say anything, but when you post mockery of the Bible, it’s the other way around.

You unironically worship archeological finds, not the findings of faith and God. Just because the Word of God Created the entire Creation from the beginning, you choose you believe who wrote it down on paper according to archeology.

Unironically, your way is to spit and curse and hate , if you choose to worship those “ark”ists. Because it is the way of the carnal satanic forces of hell. It’s what a witch does. So I guess you are a witch.

Was the Roman Empire the pinnacle of Aryan culture? They had their Roman chariots, just like the Aryans of Sintshta, and they believed in the god Jupiter - the same god as Deus Phter, the Proto-Indo-European deity. They were Aryans; perhaps not genetically, but culturally, they were Aryans through and through.

As far as i can tell the Aztecs made (almost?) no porn.

Every other society made erotic and pornographic art. From very primitive tribes sculpting vulvas and phalluses to Europe and Japan (fisherman's wife).

The Aztecs were very unique. And they have to be the only culture i can't find any porn of. And they made LOTS of art. They have after all a very recognizable art style.
Isn't that weird? It seems weird as fuck that a culture which made so much art and has it's own style seemingly made no porn.

Whatever you find online is usually Mesoamerican - not Aztec. I asked Ai - it did tell me that they have indeed made very little erotic and pornographic art. It still lists some examples, but when i looked them up - they looked like body horror. Not erotic at all.

There's so much discussion around whether or not sexual degeneracy is good for society. If the Aztecs made almost no porn - i feel like that should be part of that discussion.

Marx was a poet who delved into a topic he knew literally nothing about (economics) then supposed that he was some sort of expert on it, built his entire worldview around it, and crafted an insane pseudo-science cult around it where he honestly believed that he could predict the future if you studied his specific take on economics enough.

He’s not an economist, he’s never study economics, he never worked or managed a factory or worked in any capacity in that field.

Instead of realizing that he was wrong, his deranged cult simply retooled and remade Marx's original outlook over and over and over again. After nearly 200 years of this Ship of Theseus act, “Marxism” is now rich westerners who shill for third-world theocrats.
