I'm saying I would like a glass of water. I was "raised" probably definitely non-religious but got confirmation in a Lutheran church and sang in the choir and also sometimes went to church for Christmas

Calling Langan a "Christian" is a statement that probably couldn't be more subject to the pre-trans fallacy. Langan's notion of God is miles more expansive and general than what a standard Bible-thumper will entertain. Watch his Michael Knowles interview.

Wtf does that mean exactly? What does Jesus saving us look like? What does believing in that look like?

The flaws of current AI is a perfect illustration of what happens when you try to skip stages. If you can seemingly write your own text but you inherently can't wipe your own ass, and you aspire to be not just equal to but above human capability, that's indicative of a load of problems.

@The Crocodile Why is that pic of her so scary? 😭 It must be the meal I skipped.

That's me marrying princess Ingrid Alexandra and making her re-instate it as the "rightful" capital of Norway, corrupting her mind with New Age thinking like with our other princess who married that Shaman and sold the rights of their marriage to Netflix, and through my association with this forum alone, becoming the next scandal within the monarchy, causing a long-awaited war between the East and the West, with the West winning and restoring the Western dominance of the Hanseatic Age, the golden days of our history post- Viking Age 👹

Do you predict that my hometown will become the new Atlantis? Cuz we're soon getting half a year's worth of rain for some countries in a few days AND summer temperatures, and we have almost half a meter of snow that will melt faster than a popsicle in LA. But now it's so cold I don't even want to go outside.

You throw the most fascinating curveballs 😆

Can you protect Greenland for my Danish friends? Ty.

Computers need to evolve to Stage Beige first before I start listening to them for their take on Spiral Dynamics

People like Sadhguru can look you in the eyes and "know your past, present and future". Once your perception is strong enough, you can download the karmic footprint of a person or object from the subtlest of sources. I guessed my mom's fiance had something traumatic happen to him in the past the first time I met him, because he could just never sit still or look me in the eye; probably a close relative dying early. The same day, my mom told me his dad died in front of him when he was 12.

Interesting. So essentially, transmission. But as is the case with other types of transmission, it's even better to listen to them speak or watch a video of them, and of course being with them in person, but also reading their words. I used to listen to Alan Watts, Rupert Spira, Sadhguru, etc., every night while falling asleep. And when awake, I would watch videos of them. And I mean watch, not giving much attention to their words.

@The Crocodile

He has easily deconstructed that. For instance, he has said multiple times that he intentionally chooses reductionism and naturalism because it's a strategic thing to do to reach people at this point in history.

I've never understood the appeal. The fine-tuning argument is essentially "the universe is a particular way, therefore God". And it's yet another way to anthropomorphize or anthropocentrize something that is not human. The universe is fine-tuned to be exactly what it is, nothing else. It doesn't care about life any more than a rock or a black hole or empty space. It cares about everything. And all of these things fundamentally necessitate each other. They're perfectly interrelated. That's fine-tuning.

What games do you play? 🤔

Patience is hard when you have a lot of deadlines and things that need to happen quick and you're dealing with bureaucratic drag and repeatedly malfunctioning technology from multiple sources at once ☺️

"Anti-Western" in what way?

Really good acting or simulations can make you feel a certain way too. Just go with what you feel. The fact that it's real just means it's generally more able to land as a given feeling, because you are made to respond to those things. Billions of years of evolution went into it. Seeing genuine emotion or pain will land as that if you are empathically open to it.

I don't see what you are not buying

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Magdeburg_car_attack "Saudi refugees" as in escaping Islam. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-12-21/death-toll-in-attack-on-christmas-market-in-germany-rises So an alternative motive: Germany allows the "Islamification" of Germany -> hit Germany at its core to make its leaders think. Breivik had a similar logic. But again, as I just recently added to the previous comment, they haven't established an official motive yet, and it doesn't really matter for this discussion, as he is still non-Islamic and drives cars into crowds.

It's true that investigators haven't officially established a motive as of now. Nevertheless, there are endless piles of evidence that he is anti-Islam, and that is the important point: you can be non-Islamic and run cars into crowds.

You are living it right now by watching it, and when you repeat something, it's more likely to stick.

How do you feel when watching all these people in pain and misery?

And just before that, on December 20th, 2024, in Germany, a guy drove a car into a crowd because he was skeptical of Islam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
