>>24945796Headcovering and chastity prior to marriage were Christian practices until destroyed by liberalism. Should Islam become the dominant religion in the West it will face the same fate and eventually be watered down and subverted. That is to say converting to Islam because it's so heckin based and trad is not a solution for Westerners.
>>24945808Actual it won't, Muslim diaspora is getting more conservative and westerners should revert because it's the truth. If Christianity can be roflstomped by liberalism it was false, the act Christians had a reformation shows it's false, no religion needs a reformation

I wrote three paragraphs about how I feel, but it doesn't matter. I hope I die in a car crash driving to my next stop at work.
How sad is my life that the highlights of my day is seeing particular girls on the bus that I've kept memory of when I have to get on so I'll see them that day for the brief minutes we ride together... something's gotta give.
Eerie whispersTrapped beneath my pillowYou won't let me seeYour memoriesAnd I know you're in this roomI'm sure I heard you sighFloating in betweenWhere our worlds collideIt scares the hell out of meAnd the end is all I can seeAnd it scares the hell out of meAnd the end is all I can see
It's been too long since my last mental break. They're actually kinda fun. I should induce one.
When I was a teacher, I made a disabled kid cry (ADHD but with foetal alcohol syndrome features) because i kept asking him to stop playing video games in class, when he did not listen, then went on to call another student, who is usually patient, a "fat retard"... I pulled him out of class and gave him a stern talking to, saying "do you understand how that can make someone feel?" He folded and said it wasn't his fault and lamented he was the target of bullying but I hadn't seen the escalation before this. It was a hard call to make and I went too far by separating him from others, I think. But teachers don't know everything and it's hard to tell who is in the wrong when someone gets dobbed on.
>things that are meaningful to you are ... meaningful /to you/! Yeah, I had this thought when I was high once. Is that it?

>>24944739>Why, of all possible things, when I was thinking about Rainbow Dash a woman in light blue hoodie with rainbow wings appears on the same street I've been walking on for twenty years without meeting her once and asks if she needs to be a little bit cooler.yea,i guess a retard such as you would be so mindfucked by a mundane event like that,so much so that he can't make a coherent sentence describing said event.

>if you have an idea at a certain point in time, somebody far away is very likely to have the same idea too, and likely at the same time.>a turn of phrase>an idea for a scientific theory>a fasion schemeThere seems to be a superstructure is active in human experience, a collective mind of some sort, whose logical positive manifestation is this nonlocal correlation between the independent thoughts of individuals. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?
>>24945955for the retards ITT, synchronous events of this type are normally at a level of improbability of at least 1 part in 10^40 or so, estimating by using the probability of two people precisely repeating an exact english phrase of about 40 words at .5 bits per character, or by a loosely parallel construction with significant overlap which has (to my intuition at least, its hard to quantitate) comparable improbability. These are not mundane coincidences at any reasonable level of probability. In order to explain these phenomena, you need to accept that there are larger frameworks which produce these ideas, and that these larger frameworks are structured into some kind of collective mind.It should be possible to design experiments to test around with this, but you'll have to be really clever about it, like something milgram would come up with. I'll let you know if I fucking think of something.
Been a long time since I seen the show and have never read the books.The topic came up and I said the fire priestess was my favourite character to which the response was "that's very telling for your character"What's that supposed to mean?

Like why did God just restart everything and delete Adam's line just to remake it with Noah? What was all that business with Babel about? Why did He even scatter them and their languages if He wants unity from all? Idk I'm 20 pages in and it's not hittin frAbram smiting sinners who took Lot and everything else was kind of fire tho
>>24944553Basically Man was just to be God's gardener, but God felt that Man was lonely, so he made him a companion in Woman. Then they discovered Sin and could no longer live with God in his Garden of Eden, so he cursed them to create and live life. Woman cursed to bear Life and be subservient and Man cursed to work and toil.
>>24944553The Bible is a historical account with dozens of authors saying the same thing about the same God. Who has been walking along side humanity since Adam. Freewill is dangerous but God has sons and daughters, children of the King are free indeed, not slaves(no will of their own).God has a relationship with us and seeks to cultivate deeper love and friendship. You’ll see this with examples like Enoch, Melchizedek, Jabez, Moses, Abraham. Asa, Josiah.What you see is the consequences of sin over the course of thousands of years, then redemption with the birth of Christ, the Son of God which shows what life looks like without sin, with His own freewill Jesus sacrifices himself to make atonement for our own sins, through his blood sacrifice our sins are washed away and destroy any enmity with God.We can cultivate the garden of eden now. We can be filled with God’s peace, joy and love, because of Jesus. Praise Him for good reason.
>>24944553The whole book is about how people coped with living in the desert.
>>24944553I wish someone had warned me before I started that a solid 1/3rd of the entire collection is just ancient Jews seething because they got BTFO by NebuCHADnezzar. I'm nearing the end of the prophets section of the Old Testament now and everything since Job has been a boring slog.
>This schematism of our understanding in regard to phænomena and their mere form, is an art, hidden in the depths of the human soul, whose true modes of action we shall only with difficulty discover and unveil.
>>24945033How is transcendental logic related to (formal) logic? Kant says that in logic, reason considers only its form and abstracts away the matter and denies that there could be a special logic for a certain matter. But later in the antinimoies he wants to show that the most basic form of proof (reductio ad absurdum) doesn't apply in the context of the questions there, for the negation of tha absurd is equally absurd there.so I am baffled.BTW, we have currently a thread on "informal logic" (textbooks). We should go over there and harass them there.
>>24945340>a science of pure understanding and rational[2] cognition, by means of which we may cogitate objects entirely à priori. A science of this kind, which should determine the origin, the extent, and the objective validity of such cognitions, must be called Transcendental Logic
>>24945497Yes this is one of the passages to which I was referring I wonder how he squares it with RAA not being valid in all contexts etc
>>24945637wut?

“Dagon” was one of the first Lovecraft stories I read and is probably one of his more famous, even if the plot is cribbed from Arthur Machen. It’s got great style:>“Perhaps I should not hope to convey in mere words the unutterable hideousness that can dwell in absolute silence and barren immensity.”The audiobook is great if you want to read along:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnV5vBScD0
>>24945222>very detailed synopsis for what would have been a novel of epic lengthgood
>>24945209it explores the themes of panspermia, intelligent design as opposed to creation, and civilizational decline due to biological evolution. anyone who knows as much about planetary science as lovecraft did will appreciate the accuracy, detail, and efficient exploration of origin theories provided by lovecrafts science fiction. it is not only the first of its genre but like the scientific work cited it is definitive>>24945222it is finished content because it explores its themes and poses lovecrafts philosophical point that if men refuse to recognize the gods of the earth their flying conveyances will of their own will fly them to the court of the daemon-sultan azathoth
>>24941801>>24941773>>24942931lovecraft is a hack who copied people superior to him and died a poor racist POS faggot
>>24942835>because he is not gatekept enough.pretty much. If Lovecraft were more obscure, pseuds would hold a higher opinion of him which they did when he was less widely known. Personally, I think what makes Lovecraft a great writer is his sense of atmosphere, pacing, and influences from Gothicism and New England.

>>24945898Extremely oversaturated and overspecialized field. Meaning you will have to specialize into a subfield with a total of 20 jobs in existence that use your expertise.Its the worst discrepancy between general public expectations (AI is the future and where you make money) versus reality (AI has thousands of extremely specific specializations and none of them are hiring, one of the highest amount of grads to job opening ratios in existence)Your literature degree gives you more job security, so only go into the field out of passion. Kind of like being a writer or indie game developer.The ONLY reason I have a job at all is because I was interning at a company right when ChatGPT released and so there was a lot of investor money sloshing around. They decided to hire every intern they had working for them to pad out employee numbers to attract investors.Do yourself a favor and keep AI as a hobby and get a real job as a dentist/construction worker and have your own practice or outsourcing gig if you want to make money.I worked as a librarian for 3 years while interning into various AI company (librarian is weirdly close enough to data science so it's the closest we can get to an actual AI job)
