People always told me that Grimes was super smart, but every time she opens her mouth, it's some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. She is the guy we all knew in high school, the one who takes mushrooms and stares at Tool album covers, and expects the rest of us to pretend they are brilliant.

This chick literally wrote an open letter to communists, saying that if they support Elon Musk, he will use AI to bring a communist system.

If she were to ever shut up, it may dawn on her that she is actually a fucking idiot, and we can't have that, so she never shuts the fuck up.

    "It is worth repeating at this point the theories that Ford had come up with, on his first encounter with human beings, to account for their peculiar habit of continually stating and restating the very very obvious, as in "It's a nice day," or "You're very tall," or "So this is it, we're going to die."

    His first theory was that if human beings didn't keep exercising their lips, their mouths probably shriveled up.

    After a few months of observation he had come up with a second theory, which was this--"If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, their brains start working."

    She's very good and talented at music, and I stand behind that. But as you'll know if you see anything about personal lives of musicians, it doesn't automatically make her good at anything else.

    Oh believe you me, I 100% stand by the first 10 years of Kanye, and artists' don't have the right to ruin nostalgia for our youth. We are not obligated to stand by old men or women just because they did cool things in their youth.

    God is the all-powerful creator of the universe, all of the black holes and quasars, all of the laws of physics, the architect of the very Beginning and End of All Things... but He is in constant danger of destruction by a bunch of hippies and nerds.

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

    Emphasis my own. Yes there is a self evident morality, you don't need God to tell you what's right and wrong.

    The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what's to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn't have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don't want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don't want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you. --Penn Jillette

    Think of the man what you will, but this has to be the best answer for that dumb question.

    I am not sure that I agree that the dog's behavior necessarily demonstrates "morality." You might be anthropomorphizing a bit. I am not a biologist or anything, so I could be way off base... But is it not possible that the dog was acting on instincts to protect newborn offspring? Similar to when animals "adopt" babies from other species as their own?

    Morality implies that the dog did a thing because it's "the right thing to do," when in reality, it might have just been a self-preservation instinct kicking in. Dog sees newborn that's clearly the offspring of the being that takes care of it, dog tries to preserve that newborn's life in order to keep the gravy train going.

    Just my (again, non-expert) thoughts.

    You can remove the argument from morality safely from your answer just by stating the dog acted upon instinct, based off the notion dogs are pack animals, that have a closely knit symbiotic relatioship with human, which can be used to in favour of the dog finding a newborn activated the instinct of preserving their pack.

    The way you approached the subject can be easily side tracked through arguing you are atributting self interest to the animals actions, as in, it keeps the newborn alive, thus, their own preservation is assured.

    If acting on true self interest, the dog should have allowed the newborn to die.

    Side note: who discards a newborn in such calous way? How unbalanced is the person?

    I think zealot answered that. It seems that people who can't manage themselves and their worst impulse want to manage others.

    Grimes and musk believe the AI is God. So there’s a good chance context is missing here on purpose because she’s aware enough to not go full crazy.

    Bring back God = build the AI.

    There are plenty examples of religious leaders raping and killing children and other offenses. But I guess they are above it all then?

    Having a god reign over some heads is a useful tool against those who don't share the same values, but fear the existence of a higher power.

    As always, it's about lacking control and the frustration that comes with.

    I can't remember who said it but: If you being a good person depends on the fear of eternal damnation, then you are not a good person.

    The way i understood it was that it's a difference in organization of society. Some people can find meaning themselves, without needing somebody else to tell them what to do. Some people just need to be told what to do.

    The same god who allows rape and murder as long as you believe in him

    The entire argument is pretty stupid...

    Do you believe in god? Yes

    Does rape and murder happen? Yes

    Can you rape and murder if you tried? Yes

    So what does your god add to the situation? Is the only reason you don't do it out of fear? Yes/No?

    Also do you really obey the laws of your god? Yes

    So you don't ever wear both linnen and wool? Uh what?

    And are you really sure you never sat where a menstruating women has been sitting?? Wait what?

    How many different seeds are in your garden? ??

    This person allowed Elon Musk to stick his Nazi cock inside her.

    She's not a sane individual.

    Shame and peer pressure are outsourcing ethics and never independently developing character.

    Saying "Without laws I wouldn't do right from wrong" is also just as much a sociopathic self report imo. Same with "money" and "The State", i'm an atheist just like them except I go one or two gods further.
