YappyMonotheist

Your guess sounds better than mine, and it gives me some hope that not every site is compromised. 🥲

Does this happen to every post or only to those with Western “naughty words”?

Liberals are midwits at best, who knew? 🤷😅

DANGER - OPEN PROSELYTISING AHEAD!

I unironically recommend monotheism. Like with many things of this category, logic can only get you too far. Once you’ve understood that this complex entity we’re part of called the universe, light and matter in spacetime, either was just always there (or at least the foundations, idk) or wasn’t, and that there really cannot be any material evidence for or against it because we’re constrained in what we’re examining, you’re forced to take a leap of faith one way or another.

If you believed in God as preached by Moses, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammad, for instance, you’d know the reason for your existence (to be a good slave of God so we please Him and can fearlessly return to God, the Creator, the Gracious and Merciful; and don’t worry, you’ll have fun regardless in this world so we don’t need to write it down), and the fact that it’s God’s will would make it as objective as possible (if you believed in all of this, ofc).

Now, you could believe in (agree with on a fundamental level) some philosophical schools of thought like, idk, a mixture of absurdism with Kantian ethics (“life’s a meaningless chaos but I still wanna be a good boy”), or something a bit more positive like a Platonic (the meaning of life is acquiring knowledge) or a Cynic (be virtuous and live honest to yourself within your natural bounds/in harmony with nature), and it could work well but these can still be rejected by the mind as they’re just “things other people said” and feel a bit “not-final”. And, again, even if you keep “digging” logically you’ll never get to something final (to this and many other things, check “Agrippa’s trilemma”!) and this can lead to very depressing thoughts easily. In conclusion: for pragmatic reasons, because you’re still alive and whilst that’s going on you might never shake away your desire to have answers to these questions that feel satisfactory and final, I think you should at least dip your toes into Abrahamic monotheism.

So yeah, TL;DR: don’t get bellcurved (and needlessly sad) and believe in God today!

From a somewhat external perspective (I’m an ADHD enjoyer), it seems to me like the lack of “final answer” found through pure reasoning, because at the end of the day this can only be answered through belief (not just religious belief but belief in general, it’s kind of a matter of intuition to conviction) might veer them into nihilism, at least in the ideological sense (which can then affect one’s mood negatively). Likewise for the free-will v determinism “debate”.

Man, every time I think I know enough about America and that their history couldn’t possibly get worse, I learn something new. 😑

This but with Continental philosophy and Abrahamic tradition. 🤷😅

Idk if this is OC or not but goddamn it’s on point and extremely relevant. Sometimes people forget the only reason the West can just get lost in consumerism and hedonism is because of the stolen resources and subjugation of people around the world. 🥲

I’d like to believe I wouldn’t, but I’m a flawed man, and going crazy with my words is one of my big ones. Hopefully, God willing, I won’t. I have become a much more considerate and softer person thanks to my wife, maybe that’ll be enough.

I wish I were this brave!

He just has no empathy for his fellow human beings. What do you mean “I don’t care about that political shit” when random people are getting kidnapped and sent to detention camps? Why is he still your friend? This isn’t a minor disagreement.

Certainly that Michael Rubin guy is one of them, right? But regardless, without the demand those guys would be out of a side-hustle. They will all taste Hell.

I don’t think you do.

In much knowledge there’s much sorrow… thank God my memory is garbage! 😅

What. No. Shoo.

Knowledge is important, but values and character are more so, IMO. Many complex ideas are founded on the belief of/are distilled from basic humanity.

Sorta kinda convinced Bibi has him by the balls a bit, and they would’ve released some “spicier” files had he not made the move against Iran (at least some Israeli newspapers point in that direction). So, this is not just to calm things at home regarding the existing files but also a move that prevents further revelations, at least for the time being.

Sorry, hope someone comes up with better advice. And I do the same thing! Can’t just let that poor living being suffer the consequences of my poor executive function. 🥲

Maybe try to divide “cleaning” into smaller, seemingly more doable tasks? And get to them throughout the week? “Today I’m doing all the dishes and organising the cupboards, tomorrow I’m cleaning the bathroom, I’ll take the bin bags out the following day…”. Maybe give yourself a little treat after cleaning?
