Apparently, she has two…and campaigning to keep her job matters more than doing her job…

some podcasts are better than others… e.g. philosophize this, planet money, darknet diaries…

I guess you mean the talk-radio type podcasts where 2/3 of the time is just banter…

NYT is dubious too if with all their resources this is the editorial choices they make…and the standard they set…

This must be what it feels like to be old. All young people fads look stupid and like there is no hope for them.

Yes, it is used an instrument of control by callous leaders and to enforce conformity…I was just saying that even intelligent people can believe in it (like they can in modern conspiracy theories), even if it is just a basic requisite of belonging to your community. Unlike Spinoza and Galileo, who got excommunicated for being too public with their free thinking.

PS: same for Mu’tazilism, it failed because it forced rationalism on people…whereas St. Augustine tried a more conciliatory approach.

I mean…many great thinkers in history (Locke, Newton, Rosseau, Voltaire, Smith, PS even Darwin was agnostic, but still theist) did believe in god (maybe it was just a cultural thing, since they could not disprove it), but that did not cloud their judgement of what is true and what is moral…so even they advocated for freedom of religion.

This could also have been because the memory of the european wars of religion (30 years war) was fresh in public memory, like the world wars are in ours.

…leads to dangerous behaviours, feelings of invincibility, superiority, delusions…and worst of all: it’s contagious and spreads through speech and culture.

Mixing religion and politics is a mistake, people.

Yes, but now the loonies are running free in the WH fucking with a demented orange clown of a presidont as they please.

Yeah, but now they found a fool capable of leading them there for lulz.

If Jesus were born in Bethlehem again…he’d be Palestinian, imagine their reaction :D

potato potato?

😬

Now I gotta try that…

Last time the rapture was no fun…it is only fun if they fuck shit up and take everyone with them…

🎶 "Great Balls of Fire"🎵

Sounds like it, they seem to think that the hate that motivates people to work harder for no extra pay out of revenge against the current boogeyman is a good way to extract more from “the cattle”.

I thought it was just the book of Jewish mythology, like the egyptian, norse, greek, aztec, chinese ethno-mythological traditions.

Apparently, so does tramp…mmm. I guess the only way to get a break with tramp is to…send drones to Iran, like his buddy putain?

Against their own ally, who they are helping wage war.
