- Comment on If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms? 5 days ago:
Also, but not just, if we consider classical theism (pantheism), then there would be nothing that God isn’t. As God, if we would think of God as the foundation of all being, could not be anything that isn’t. Since what isn’t is without foundation.
Also, but not just, if we accept panentheism, where God is everything that is and isn’t.
Basically the only time that anybody would accept God as ‘made out of atoms’ is if that person accepts the inherently and explicitly atheistic view of metaphysical physicalism. Arguing for God from physicalism is like arguing for social healthcare as a (US) republican. There is an inherent disconnect between the two.

- Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 2 weeks ago:
I find this the weirdest part of reading old travel accounts, like from the 16th century or something. When travel really was a completely different beast. They never talk about getting lost or language barriers as being the big problems. The biggest problem is always getting sick or accidents.
And looking at my own life and traveling before smart or even mobile phones existed. I feel exactly the same. I always knew where I had to go, even if I had to search for it. And I was always able to get around and buy things without speaking a word. Just gestures and an attempt at learning a few simple words.
But I always had something to fall back on. A landline. A travel agency. A random person that shared a language. I always was curious how travel went before those things existed. And now to see a next generation being curious about how travel was before another thing to fall back on.
The thing to fall back on just gets more and more competent. From having to use a post system that took weeks to get an answer back. To being able to call anyone anywhere anytime. I think every step has made travel easier, less intimidating, and cheaper.

Right.

Yes. I used to live with a guy who worked for a penitentiary. He had inmates over who were on leave. I’ve met people who killed their parents in cold blood and had dinner with them.

- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 2 months ago:
There probably were random kidnappings.
But they only allowed Jews to live in ghetto’s in Nazi cities, so they knew exactly where to go. From there they were indiscriminate and retaliatory. But there was segregation before the mass deportation of Jews.
Also it was about the purity of the german blood and shit like that, so there were more allegations for people to be considered degenerate enough to be deported. Gays, gypsies, retardation, whatnot.

- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
They are not mostly sugar, sugars are just a part of the nutrients. Most fruits don’t even have that much sugar in them, it varies wildly though. There is also the way these sugars are intertwined with fiber, that make it much harder for these sugars to be processed in your body. So the sugars are released over a greater period of time giving your body more time to react. as opposed to refined sugars. Fruits are always healthier than candy, cookies, or soda.
There is a lot more in fruits than just sugars, there are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers. Which are all necessary for a healthy body. Sugars as well are necessary for your body to function.
It is practically impossible, if you’re otherwise healthy, to eat too much fruit. I personally eat at the very least 3 kilos or 5 pounds of various fruits a week. within an otherwise varied (vegan) diet. I’ve done so for the past 10 years. I make sure to test my blood, and so far had zero issues except low vit. d. Which you can’t get from fruit.
Why is it healthy? Well, we evolved next to fruits. Our ancestors always plucked and eaten them for millions of years. Just like we’ve done with all kinds of plants. Our gi tract is the right length, our body cant make most vitamins itself and completely functions on sugars. Fruit is part of a varied diet.

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 3 months ago:
My goodness, these comments make me feel we’re back in the edgy atheism days. Please.
The reason is because those texts are much older, and that was the style of religion practiced back then. Most God stories and stories about Gods in that period were like it. Most city states and tribal states had their own Gods that reflected them, and conflicts were gravely exaggerated. Also literally everything that happened in that state were an attribute or reflection of that particular God. With stories of how that attribute came to be, which reflected back in the people and in that way religion was a complex social interaction.
The people who wrote the stories we now know as the old Testament didnt write them as a part of a bible. These were stories of people who were taken out of their states and captured. Forced to live outside their land, but they took their God with them. Who became this omnipresent God that would lead people back to a promised land. Including all the complex social interaction people had with their mostly oral religious stories and traditions.
And it’s the continued tradition that lead to the formation of religious scholarship and the idea that Gods could be of the earth and not just of a state. Which brought about new thoughts, new traditions, new religious complexity written down in the New Testament. Which lead to the desire to make religious books encapsulating all of religious thought.
And only much later came literalism, the mistake to take everything in the Bible literal. which sparked the formation of atheism as we know it today.

- Comment on Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice. 3 months ago:
“The same”. In a literal sense. Not figuratively like in practice, where you’re repeating things to aim for better performance/outcomes. Every repeat is different, or at least should be otherwise there is this great qoute… something about repeating the same thing and expecting different results…

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 3 months ago:
-
Power can only travel that far. Electricity gets lost during transport.
-
The sun shines everywhere.
So given these two things there is always a point where it is cheaper to build your own solar system than to get it from far away.
-
There are more renewable sources of power. Wind. Water. Heat.
-
The desert isn’t an euphemism for empty. It’s a climatological zone.
-
There is political power in having control over electricity/power needs. The wild swings in oil prices reflect this fact. Reliance and necessity makes it far more logical to maintain your own source of electricity/power.

- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 3 months ago:
He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 3 months ago:
The problem will always be that you have to use an llm to ask questions in natural language. Which means it gets training data from outside whatever database you’re trying to get information from. There isn’t enough training data in an encyclopedia to make an llm.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 3 months ago:
that’s just circular reasoning, since understanding is needed for communication.

- Comment on The line between what is ai and what is programming will be very blurred in the future 3 months ago:
I don’t know why we should take 12 year olds as an example? Surely you didn’t know certain things at 12 that you know now. Assuming you are 13+
I’m just saying that things will trickle into common knowledge. And there will always be people who know jack shit. Obviously.
But when you play music from a streaming service you don’t go like. Wow people had to rewind cassette tapes! No, you understand the progression music carriers have made and just enjoy the music. You could buy a tape recorder and tapes and they are still available, if you would want. The same applies to coding, and other technologies.
- Comment on The line between what is ai and what is programming will be very blurred in the future 3 months ago:
You mean that less people need to understand code? Like that’s just natural progression. There are many coding languages because hardly anybody knows how to code in machine language or punch cards and we’ve been making coding easier for humans. The progression to natural language is a natural one.
LLMs bridging the gap between coding and natural language isn’t going to be a mystery in the future. Just like we don’t go like “a person punched all those holes in the cards? no way!” Because yes they did and we all understand that that was something that needed to be done at that time. We simply appreciate the amount of work it took. It’s a lot more that typing ‘cryptic letters’, which we will all know in the future also as coding. i don’t understand why you believe everybody in the future is an idiot.
