His daughter was in the social-studies department just like her father, and rowed crew, too, but she had chosen to write her thesis on “The Concept of Reification in Western Marxist Thought,” having come to very different conclusions than her father had about how the world should work. Ackman said it felt as though she “had been indoctrinated” into a cult.

It’s only “indoctrination” when the system of preference isn’t capitalism. They’d never admit capitalism breeds its own cult.

Astute distinction.

Also important to note that Religion and Faith itself are not the problem. I’m not saying that you’re saying this with your comment, but I see on Lemmy the casual relationship between religion and bigotry to almost say religion equals bigotry and I don’t think that’s fair. A truly respectful and inclusive society should be able to include everyone.

I think Interfaith Alliance highlighted a good quote here from Rev. Raushenbush (president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance):

"I want my children to be introduced to the families and traditions of Muslims, Jews, and many other faiths and identities. There’s little doubt that Christian nationalist groups will soon seek the right to opt out from any educational content they object to. It’s a dangerous slippery slope that starts with discrimination against the gay community, but doesn’t stop there.”

Also they stated that the decision clears the way for further discrimination against diverse groups and undermines public education. While falsely claiming the mantle of religious freedom, it in fact suppresses diversity and promotes exclusion.

Perhaps define “overrated” first or else I am not following your point.

“It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran,” said Carey Holliday, a former immigration judge who is now representing the couple. “You take their wives and send them back to Mexico?”

Trump has never disguised what he thinks about veterans. I’m surprised he’s surprised.
(I’m not)

You would, and I would, but you are over estimating the general public who has proven time and time again they do not know what’s good for them. A lot of people would opt for something they don’t fully understand just because it’s “the latest thing”.

You mean X-Files is, right?

Does it fly tho?

The locks were installed in such a way that if you pulled the door a little, it would open. (So a discreet soft pull on the door was not a good way of determining occupancy.)

Maybe because of that?

I see what you’re saying. But I also think the comment chain is speaking to the limits of our knowledge. The “limits that physics imposes on technology” is only based on what human beings have figured out through our limits of testing the rules of existence. What we can’t test, we have never been able to prove. And some things we may never be able to test or prove (such as Dark Matter).

It’s easy to say there isn’t evidence of something, just as easy as it is to say that it’s because it’s past our limit/ability to test those things right now.

I’m talking about the nature of the soul and spirit.

We have absolutely not figured out most of the big picture.

One easy proof example: death. Everyone will experience this feeling, yet no one has a clue what happens with 100% certainly after death. Yet it’s one of the most fundamental things about life and existence. What is non-existence?

Neal’s made a lot of nice things.

For me, it’s going to be the AI injected into the body without consent.

So you’re not confirming that it’s rage bait but rather that it’s a real graded paper.

Hate to break it to you but anything less than a whole is a fraction of a whole thing. Decimals, too, are bits of a whole.

One could argue the L is a manifestation of how nature/canada/the world also views the US country it’s situated over.
