  Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.

  the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.

  or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.

  it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.

  Cofty and others try to say the missing link has been found

  That you would write this shows you are commenting from a position of almost total ignorance of the subject.

  You have never read a science book in your entire life have you?

  Every living thing descended from a common ancestor over millions of years: the earth is not flat. These two statements are equally certain.

  The vast majority of Christians accept the fact of evolution. It is only a small minority of fundies and most Muslims who don't.

  Hi Sea Breeze. I had a fantastic day meeting our new grandson - he is perfect!

  It's late here in UK and I have work tomorrow but I look forward to joining the conversation about godless morality tomorrow evening. Spoiler alert - I tend to disagree with many atheists on this topic too.

  people can make a legitimate case that evolution in the sense of macroevolution has not been demonstrated as proven (to 100% certainty) - Del.JW

  You are equivocating about the meaning of the word 'proof'.

  It strictly belongs only to the realm of mathematics where it basically involves showing that a statement is a tautology. In every other field of knowledge we assess the balance of evidence. The fact that every living thing descended from a common ancestor over millions of years is as absolutely certain as the fact that the planet earth is not flat.

  If you want to argue that this is not '100% proven' then carry on but how does it add anything useful? SBF and others hide behind it to pretend that anything is equally likely.

  Dis-JW - when somebody literally won't affirm that we can know the earth isn't flat because 'epistemic humility' then philosophy has become utter bullshit.

  Evolution is a fact. Agnosticism is inappropriate. More reading is the solution.

  SBF - It's bullshit in the context of this discussion.

  Do we 'FULLY' perceive reality? Define fully - but probably not. Do we have unassailable proof that earth is not flat? Absolutely.

  You are addicted to mental masturbation.

  Ridiculous. THIS is how you got to the state of being unable to affirm that we can't know if the earth is flat.

  Science works. Philosophy is 99% BS

  Agnostic is an unhelpful word.

  It is popularly used for a synonym for 'I can't decide'. Actually it is a very strong assertion that something can't be proven.

  It absolutely can be proven that all living things descended from a common ancestor by means of evolution. Being 'agnostic' about this fact is a false assertion and simply reflects either a lack of effort to acquire the necessary information or an unwillingness to accept reality.

  KGB Agent explains Ideological warfare: Destroy A Nation From The Inside Out

  by Diogenesister in

  1. social
  2. current

  former kgb agent yuri mesmenov explains the concept of ideological warfare.

  or how to destroy a nation from the inside out - by demoralising them within 20 years.. why 20 years?

  because it takes 20 years to educate one generation of students that despite an abundance of information to the contrary, they are unable to come to a sensible conclusion in the best interests of their family, their community and their country and instead embrace the ideology of the enemy.

  It is the exact template designed Italian communist by Antonio Gramsci that he described as 'the long march through the institutions'.

  For very detailed descriptions of the academic history of the current situation check out James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. Lindsay also has a podcast called 'New Discourses'.

  Control of education via teacher training colleges and then school curriculum is central to the plan. It is a modern version of Mao's Cultural Revolution. If more people actually read history books we wouldn't be in this mess.

  Taking after Lett... more money going out than coming in. "Things are bad" in Lloyd Land

  by iloowy.goowy in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  lloyd published a video, "things are bad," pretty much along the lines of lett's appeal for more money.. he'll have to let go tbo who does his editing, if he doesn't get more sponsor money.

  he even mentions dijana.

  he claims the defamation has hurt his family.. but he says the defamation suits are still ongoing and will take maybe years since it caused great harm to his channel saying that due to the defamation hundreds of his supporters dropped off because the defamation gave them the impression that he was someone he isn't and that led supporters to think he was misleading them somehow.. you can watch if you can sit through it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5hinrjexm4.
