God doesn’t exist (though there is a tiny, tiny chance there’s some higher power that doesn’t intervene, because the human intelligence gap is unreasonably huge, making humans undeniably special)
Every organized religion is a cult
Free will is an illusion
Aliens most likely exist, given the insane size of the universe and we know life can exist here
Humans will still always give in to their brutal tribal instincts and that’s why the world is how it is
I believe I’d like another drink.
I believe the pen in front of me exists.
That coffee cup is suspicious though.
A thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart!
There’s a chance we could make it now!
Do you believe in love after love?
Brb gotta feel what my insides say
Life after love
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me!
Don’t hurt me!
Does anybody love anybody anyway?
No one needs more than 500sqft of living space per capital until poverty is eradicated
War is absurd and the consequence of greed and senile, old, fucked up and immoral men
Democracy doesn’t work without a limit on speech - specifically hate speech, authoritarianism, and ethnic superiority ideology
Fascism is the greatest concern of the western world right now
Genocide deserves instant disavowal and should convince any sane person to immediately support removing any government official or politician from office who doesn’t oppose it
Black Lives Matter, and American history has treated black Americans awfully (see prison industrial complex)
Housing isn’t an investment vehicle. Tax speculative purchasing of housing. Support government building high density housing like the HBD system in Singapore or Austria’s housing system
So 1000sqft for a couple, 1500 for a family of 3?
That seems pretty reasonable, though I’m not sure it really scales linearly. My wife and I live in appx. 1000sqft, and that’s really plenty for us. An extra 500sqft seems about right when we have a kid, but another 500 for each additional kid would be excessive.
I gave it as an upper bound.
E.g. 3500sqft for a 3-5 person family is way too large.
Mansions are basically an immoral amount of waste/greed (in the realm of >1000sqft per person, or super rich person mansions in the realm of 10,000sqft per person)
We believe in nothing, Mr. Lebowski.
Nothing.
And tomorrow we come back and we cut off your chonson.
A good cup of coffee and the universe does not care about existence.
And a Hard Boiled Egg
Why does the Universe have an opinion about existence?
I dont believe it does.
Free will is an illusion.
Either as Hard determinism (60% confidence in this theory), or as in some form of Quantum randomness (40% confidence in this theory), you cannot just willy nilly pick something. Its just an algorithm, and, possibly, a little bit of randomness, if Quantum randomness is true.
I have a crackpot theory that I enjoy for the sake of enjoying it. What if our “soul” or “consciousness” is the collapse of the quantum field. Our decisions moment to moment aren’t random chance, but the unspeakable thing.
Again, pure speculation, but it’s a lot more satisfying and rewarding to live by than throwing moral responsibility to the universe.
Nah, if I commit a warcrime, I’m blaming the universe.
Aint my fault, should’ve made me a master
I agree that free will is an illusion, but have decided that because it is true it isn’t worth thinking about further.
I don’t find the “why” to be interesting, which is interesting because it is like “I” am trying to avoid further reflection on that fact which “I” also have no control over. haha
I always understand “free will” to mean “figure out who you really are”. I.e., every person has a certain character from birth, and that just unfolds throughout life. “Free will” is about figuring that out.
I believe what doesn’t kill you makes you…stranger.
Myself and Sasquatch.
I also believe in both this Lemmy user and Sasquatch.
Only the guy in the Sasquatch suit would say this.
We got 'em. We finally got 'em.
I believe in social democracy, I believe that it is the best political ideology.
It combines a free society with a government provided safety net.
I see communism as being too restrictive, and unregulated capitalism as being way too out of control.
A progressive social democratic country with a strong government seems to me as combining new ideas with a stable foundation.
What Economic structure would you use in your ideal society?
I am not well versed in the theory if economics.
In general terms and speaking purely in an ideal world, I would expect that a regulated market economy would allow the society to exploit the free market and the greed of humans, while providing a solid foundation of government services for it’s citizens to rely on.
What can go wrong will go wrong.
I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
What you need is a rain out.
Communism.
