Chocolate.what do you think is the meaning of life then?
fuck off, dwyerWhat a buffoon you truly are.
of course it exists, it doesn't work though
fuck off, dwyer
And thus you once again resort immediately to obscenity and abuse.
Such brief abuse is preferable in every way to your polysyllabic abuse.
Fuck off, Dwyer.
Scott Atran in one of his lectures talks about how humans have evolved to have a very good agency detector due to the threat posed to them by other humans. He talked about this as one of the reasons for the origins of religion. Good fortune and terrible events beyond the control of man were attributed to gods. This may be a factor in the success of conspiracy theories as well. Something bigger must behind this tragedy. The HAARP nonsense would be a good example.'To a certain extent' can mean anything and nothing. Yes, there are many ways in which we must be unquestioning, and just trust our group in what it is doing, but, as a species, we're anything but.
Those things are at least scientifically possible, unlike many of the CT claims. Do you really believe it is just as daft to believe that Saddam might have had WMDs as it is to believe that there is a secret cabal of Jews (many pretending not to be Jews) who are clandestinely controlling the world? The former requires some ignorance about the world, and human psychology, the latter requires all that twohundred fold. The former can be rationally based (using false inputs), the latter cant be.Personally I dont consider them any more daft than the people who believed the Vietnamese attacked the USA at the Gulf of Tonkin, the Iraqi army were chucking babies out of Kuwaiti incubators in the 90s , that Saddam had WMD, that Gadaffi was issuing his troops with Viagra, Iran are building a nuke and want to wipe Israel off the map etc . That was and is all utter bollocks, to an hysterical and outrageous degree, but because it came from mainstream sources most people appended quite a degree of credibility to it at the time and often still do. Yes the loonies are are daft but people will believe any oul shite . Including more than a few on here who scoff at these loons .
Says Phil, on the internet.I'll say it again. Your belief in scientific "progress" and "advancement" reveals you to be an imbecile.
No-one serious has believed in such absurdities since World War One.
Says Phil, on the internet.
Travel much?The jury is still very much out on the matter of the internet.
Not sure about you guys but I was never exposed to any type of critical thinking classes in school. I think this is the case for the majority of people without some basic tools for discerning truth from falsehood people doomed to fall prey to this magical thinking.
I think it's just because the world is so fucked, run by the rich to fuck over the poor, who are the vast, vast majority of the people on this planet, and people wonder how the fuck it got this bad. Large companies writing their own laws to prevent them from prosecution, goverments controlling what seeds you can grow (or currently trying to), banks rigging the shit out of everything. I mean, there is cause for concern. And that's just a tiny handful of fuckedupness that seems to be accepted as normal in todays world. These are not the acts of good people. The people who we elect do not have our best interest at heart, money is ALL they give a fuck about.
Ofcourse, there are alot of fucking full on crackpots out there, blaming Jewish lizard people, but that's actually a very good misdirection. Nobody wants to be ascociated with antisemitism, and quite rightly so. It puts people off even thinking about the evils done in the name of money. It's got fuck all to do with any religion, and eveything to do with greed.
there is dodgy stuff about 9/11 but the U.S authorities have more or less ensured we'll never get to the bottom of it.
To find your True Will and then live in accordance with it.what do you think is the meaning of life then?
most conspiracy theories of the modern sort wouldn't even get published as sci fi
The same could be said of applied psychology, not to mention most types of medicine.Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Whether or nor it works depends on a huge variety of factors, but the most important is the wider society's attitude towards it.<snip>
Get your tongue out of your cheek or it'll stick there.<snip>Today, for example, belief in the efficacy of witchcraft is compulsory and universal.
I don't agree with all your aliens stuff xes but you're all right in my book. I've never seen you posting/agreeing with anti-semitic shit. And I actually hope to fuck that there are aliens.
