  • It's quite cool, but man, i just wanna play skyrim on my phone. Is that to much to ask?

  • Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?

  • Piles of depression can still be a net force for good. I believe that.

  • As cheesy as it sounds, our actions really do echo in eternity.

    It helps me to think of everyone who was here before me, and be grateful for what i have.

    And to see that I am the next in line, to make the world just a little better, than it was when i was born, in the ways that I am able to.

  • What would happen to society if all magnets suddenly lost their magnetism?

    Jump

  • Most electricity is being created with the use of magnets i motors/generators. No more electricity then.

    Asides from batteries and solar.

  • Yeah I agree. There are some absolutely ridiculous explanations and excuses, to answer plotholes like that. "The Lord works in mysterious ways". We have more than 1500 years of made up explanations, to solve made up statements.

  • Yeah, thanks. I appreciate yours too! Its quite a thread you've started.

  • I tried to justify this (if one insists on the existence of a god), through the argument that dangerous and bad things exist in nature as well, such as storms, lightning, floodings, earthquakes, and chimps that go to war with each other etc. and likewise, violent and bad things exist among humans.

    However, I cant really convince myself that it's comparable. Actual evil did not really exist before be came along and started torturing each other. (The church and christians have been through many iterations of hard questions and tough answers to their own riddles, and overall, I think it has been a sum positive for humanity, in trying to explain, and to figure out the question of evil in general.)

    So no, I don't have a, from the hip, justification from god, why evil people would still exist. Perhaps the world just is a better place, with snakes in it, than without. It gives us something good to do?

    I can however confidently state that really bad people have been here among humanity many times before, and they have all, in one way or another, left again, and somehow we manage to sustain a world, that is continuously improving and trying to become a better and better place. Getting rid of bad people, snakes, and natural dangers.

    I know that there are serious crises and problems we still have to solve, but we tend to forget all the past evils that we have defeated. We are not being actively overrun by mongols from the east, and not every family loses several small children before they reach the age of 5. Most people have enough, and we still keep working to make sure that fewer and fewer people will suffer in the future.

  • Great photos, really. You have a good eye for details, and I like the 'appreciation-snapshot' type of photography, like with the Icom IC-R6, the throttle of the steam ship, the lynx, and the lights in the front landing gear of the airplane.

    It reminds me of those moments where you look around, and you notice a pleasing or interesting detail which catches your attention. The more of those moments I have, the more I appreciate the life and the positive in the world we created.

    People have put a lot of hours into all the good we have in the world, and sometimes I am reminded through a detail.

  • Good counter question, thanks.

    I am still trying to figure out, in what way I can know that something is actually true and good, besides that is just sounds and feels true. It's not certain that I am the right agent to decide what is true in the moment. I am partly an animal, after all.

    I understand light from the sun, compared to darkness, and I understand how saying something can reflect the real world as factually true, compared to something that is not, ie. telling a lie.

    But, that 'being good is a virtue', and what 'good' and 'virtue' mean whan applied, is not so clear.

    I clearly have a sufficient and functional understanding of the above, (innate, instinctual and/or learned?), which is why my first comment still works, but I feel like I should be able to verify that my idea of 'good' is still true.

    Do you people have any good pointers to that?

  • How do you find meaning in life?

  • Honest to god, the most tangible and practical definition that I've gotten to, so far, is that meaning comes about, when you strive to do good. Simple as that. Sure, there are a lot of ways to do 'that' in the world, but it should all work to some degree.

    Strive to make the world better and to do good.

  • Whats your favorite smell and why?

    Jump

  • That's a really nice memory. I also remember how the bushes would smell from when I was a kid in the garden.

    Now my favourite smell is my wife, and I bet some of yours will now also be, "this guys wife".

  • Books to read for a beginner atheist

  • You're right about that. I like how a prime focus on most foss-platforms is the intolerance to hate.

  • Good point.

    And plus, if you can figure out what "the Lord your God" is supposed to mean, then I think the message in the bible becomes pretty clear.

  • Not to mention the area needed, for the amount of trees needed. Trees also decompose, so the storage function is different, but people are quick to assume.
