This thread is for discussion of the validity of religion(s) and arguments for and against the existence of god/gods.

Any other new posts about this subject will be deleted, or locked and referred to this one.

New threads about religious concepts that play inside their own ruleset are allowed, and we kindly ask that you refrain from turning those well meaning threads into arguments about religion as a whole.

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

>Misplacement of catalytic residues by even a few tenths of an angstrom can mean the difference between full activity and none at all.
>Our estimate of the low frequency of protein catalysts in sequence space indicates that it will not be possible to isolate enzymes from unbiased random libraries in a single step.

The best part, like this study says, is that a few tenths of an angstrom can make a protein useless.

Anti-natalism is fucking retarded but also has a point. Forget the troubles of this world you're gonna put a child in. Even in a perfect utopia, how can you birth a child without any way of discussing with them about their decision to be born or not and carry the burden of their senses like constant anxiety of death or hunger? Well actually, you can and people do every second according to some internet stats, but how can you justify it other than that creampies feel good?

> suspect for the current kids it can work that way as well, many prospects are bleak, but that allows them to invent something out of the box, at least for one or two of them. You know like watermelon seed effect. We'll see...

That’s not necessarily true. It will only work for a minority. Most will fall to the wayside.

The point of life is to grow up.
So why are humans so obsessed with childhood? And while being misopediac?

Why does society go at great lengths to patronize the youth for developing any sense of individuality?

Whenever I hear an adult say "I wish I was a kid again", what I see is "I suck at adulting and I hate responsibility".

Most people are plagued by childish desires but instead of reconciliation and growing into true adulthood, they'd rather pout and moan inwardly.

It's no wonder why midlife crisis is blending into quarter-life crisis.
It's no wonder why adolescence is being lengthened.
In fact, adolescence is artificial.

I'm dramatising, but I'm not joking when I think that there's an undercurrent of fear/contempt for maturation.

>adolescence is artificial
This is completely accurate, your instincts are right. Adolescence was invented in the 20th century to keep kids in school longer.
https://archive.org/details/TheParadoxOfExtendedChildhood-JohnTaylorGatto

Our modern society is literally structured around large corporations supported by swathes of borderline slave workers.

IMO without this education system we would follow our is tints more and learn the actual necessary skills of survival in the school of life. We wou have decentralized support networks where as we are currently at the opposite extreme of atomized individuals reliant on corporations for employment or government financial support. Humans naturally learn what is necessary to survive and naturally have creativity and ingenuity, but these kinds of independent people are not good consumers nor are they obedient workers.

We are all captive to this system and thus more or less children to the state, our new Mom.

There have been a lot of works that talk about it, but it's not talked about a lot.
People would rather talk about "muh woke" or "muh red pill".
Also:
>There is no expectation of responsibility, but IMO what many miss is that responsibility is what makes you feel satisfied in adulthood.

Wrong. Responsibility is expected.
But, the definition of responsibility is almost always reduced to procreation.

People think that child-rearing is the only form of responsibility. And they cannot even do that properly.

Adolescence was created in the eighteenth century. But it was universalised by the twentieth century.

To continue with this: there’s this recent phenomenon of where people are saying “eighteen thru twenty four aren’t adults yet” which is been used to excuse delayed maturation due to our current sociopolitical climate.

Friends, I'm dying for direction. What I want is Solipsism as a topic handled from an Existential standpoint, not epistemologically. I want to learn about how Hollywoodian Solipsism effects our mentality and turns us into self-serving drones. I know that might be too opinionated and specific so I am also fine with anything that touches it tangentially. If you have any thoughts on the issue yourself I'd love to hear it.

Am I schitzo insane or is everything he says either the boringest shit ever or the most vibe consistent stupid meaningless troll you'll see only mastered on 7chan? Hats off regardless. But if it's a troll, man, the dedication and the vibe consistency (while keeping it this level of boring) is something that should be studied by future generations.

Truly something to behold either way. The guy who's responding is not the less either, I mean to bring this out, truly a dance of two, I swear to God and if none of this is acted, shoot me already, I'm completely delusional and everything is a conspiracy, but you can't tell me this isn't extraordinary.

Imagine an infinite corridor of doors. Exactly one of them leads to a bad world; every other door leads to a good one. You open the doors one by one, and every world you find is good. You keep searching for the bad world, but every door reveals only another good one.

So where is the door to the bad world?

I beg to differ.
Glorifying suffering is mainly a way for people to cope with not being special, or rather that they cannot handle the realization that being human means that they’re still subject to the laws of nature and that all their hopes and dreams are not entirely within their control.

Thankfulness seems to be the only thing that I have and there seems to be an endless amount of it.

Can you look around? Can you see? What do you have on your hands? In my case it seems I have a lot of thankfulness. Muscle. Goodness.
