I don’t know, that seems very similar to agnostic atheism to me. Is there any situation where you would act differently if you’d consider yourself agnodtic atheist instead of apathetic agnostic?

Words like “atheism” or “agnostic” make sense as shorthands for everyday conversations or labelling, but if you want to be rigorous about it, it makes more sense to use 4 categories:
-
Gnostic theist: I know there’s a God, I’ve met Him, I feel it, I have faith, etc.
-
Agnostic theist: I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I prefer to believe there’s one
-
Agnostic atheist: if we don’t know if there’s a god or not, there’s no reason to believe there’s one. Do you assume there’s an invisible giant teapot orbiting Earth because there’s no proof to the contrary?
-
Gnostic atheist: a god can’t possibly exist, the concept of a god is illogical, etc.
I’m agnostic atheist, but maybe there could a firm reasoning for the gnostic atheist position. I don’t know, I would have to read and think about it more.

I don’t really understand where the very specific ides of kiwi farming comes from, but I can confirm old 4chan users are here. I’m one of them. I’ve never been misogynistic or racist however. I was more into the freedom, randomness, otaku culture and activism for civic liberties. There’s a preconceived notion of what a 4chan user is, and I understand where it comes from.

I think pornography is an “art” the same way gastronomy is an “art”. Both serve a simple function: one to arouse you, the other to be enjoyable food to eat.
I think the more general definition of art is something that generates more complex emotions and thoughts.
