You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
I am procrastinating right now. It is hard to motivate if their is no good reason but what is a good reason anyway? Well if you want something in theory but your body says no you start thinking what is going on with my meat machine also known as my body? Mostly we start generating some theories but in the end it is a "I don't know". Some ancient program is doing it's work through my existence. So basically there is no real reason to do anything. That might be a bit relaxing and what you might need in the moment or not. Anyway it feels sometimes good to remind yourself that you are just a biological machine working it's algorithms.

Re: You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
I don't think Sam Harris ever said we were NPCs. He considers the simulation theory to be interesting, but he never officially adopted it. He claims we are just biological organisms with no free will because our brains and genes control everything. It's very unpopular, but atheists in academia like it for some reason, because atheism is a dogma in academia. I don't consider him credible though, he thinks everything was created by random accident, which is impossible because randomnness cannot create intelligent design and patterns and structures. But he is a dogmatists, his religion of randomness is gospel to him and cannot be changed. He refuses to consider evidence and data that contradicts it. Hence he's a fundamentalist, just on the opposite spectrum of Christian fundamentalists. But he acts very rational, which is deceptive.
It is true that most of what we do, perhaps over 90 percent, is motivated by our subconscious routines and impulses. But that doesn't mean free will doesn't exist, it's just a smaller factor than what most Americans want to believe. The self help movement will never tell you that though, because it doesn't sell.

The evidence regarding free will is rather poor- fMRI shows that people make decisions almost instantly, but that they then take several seconds to create their rationale for those decisions. This basically shows us that consciousness, or our perception of it, may just be a side effect of our brain function rather than its true driving process.

You can defy programming in certain ways, however, such as using randomness to make decisions (flipping coins or rolling dice rather than letting your subconscious run the show). This doesn't necessarily mean that you don't make choices, by the way, just that the choices you will make were set before you thought about them, and that if you know the state of someone's brain and their life experiences you could theoretically predict their behaviors with 100% accuracy. Basically, experience drives behavior, while thought rationalizes it

Re: You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
Yeah but even if randomness creates a few patterns, it cannot create a machine or computer code like human DNA or the human body. That requires intelligent design. Even the discoverer of DNA, Francis Cricke, said it could not have been formed by evolution.HouseMD wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2021, 4:32 amStable structures that are generated through chaos will persist.Winston wrote: ↑August 20th, 2021, 8:22 pmI don't think Sam Harris ever said we were NPCs.

I agree the evidence for free will is weak and can never be proven, since we cannot prove that nothing made us do what we do or think what we think. Even the Bible does not mention anything about free will at all. Not even once. It seems to be a man made concept. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist though. Maybe it does for people of higher consciousness? But not for lower consciousness people who are instinct driven? Or maybe it does exist for people who think a lot more than typical people do? In Asia, I see people running around like ants, they never stop and think, they are alway scurrying about. I am the only one who stops and thinks "What's going on?"
I've never felt I had much free will. I've always felt like something was blocking me or interfering with my free will. I've never understood why Americans assume that we all have total free will as if the world is our playground to do and think as we wish.
If we have no free will then God cannot punish us for doing anything wrong because we never had a free will choice in it. Same with the justice system. It would mean no one was responsible for their actions. Society cannot accept that.
The problem though is that science has no explanation for consciousness. It cannot create it using A.I. nor explain it. It seems to be quantum in nature.
Maybe atheists have no soul since they don't believe in one, so they are the machines, and can only speak for themselves, not for everyone. It's a fallacy to assume that we either all have free will or we don't. We aren't all the same. So it could be that some have free will and others don't, or some have more free will than others? Especially if they are highly conscious?
If we are just biological machines then that implies a designer, since it takes a designer to create a machine. Atheists can't have it both ways.

For people who have problems with accepting science because of narcissm or other deficiencies and rather believe in ancient books written by miserable slaves. Or maybe it is taboo to show how stupid this believe is and I should be more PC.

Not really.
1. Humans didn't evolve from monkeys
2. COVID-19 is a scamdemic pandemic
3. Intelligent design makes more sense
4. Atheists have too many contradictions
5. Evolution and atheism and Rothschild-infiltrated corporate-manipulated science have become religions of the non-religious masses

Re: You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
I wish you idiots would stop peddling this inaccuracy. The thing is, I agree. We didn't evolve from monkeys. What we evolved from is a COMMON f***ing ANCESTOR who, for some reason, evolved differently. We're primates, retard. Why monkeys and all them evolved differently we don't know, but the only people who still believe we "came from" monkeys are low IQ mongoloids.

It looks like you're one of Phag's sockpuppet accounts he dusted off because everyone knew that @Italianman was PAG.
Phag (PAG) is the only person on the forum to ever call other members retard so you just outed yourself as Phag (PAG).
You should have really used a different word you dirty, filthy black ghetto faggot troll! Go back to your diseased Ukrainian whores you love to pretend are your girlfriends or your Americunt Sluts in Palo Alto, California.
LoL

@Tsar - None of that retarded shit you just said made any sense. Who the f**k is PAG? Say, if you'd like to meet up and say any of this shit to my face, I'll fly you out to me. Otherwise, I suggest you keep your dick-sucking lips closed before they get WIRED closed. You already have some kind of health issue. Get your money right and focus on that. Lest you make your last days ones of misery and retardation.
Stupid bitch. Didn't even say shit to this queer and he mentioned my name. If you want to suck my dick, have your girlfriend do it and french kiss her. Oh wait--you've got no bitches. Right? Right. Begone.

He posts pictures of his watch collection and secret recordings with his girls.
You need to create better insults. It was your mistake using the same words PAG used five days ago. And then appearing when his username currently stops posting.
You do seem to have slightly different sentence structure and a much worse mouth on you than PAG.
You should learn to have more respect. If you acted more manly then I wouldn't have confused you for being the troll. You don't insult my genius and expect to win an argument.
You will learn your place not to insult your betters.

Re: You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
Total straw man fallacy. Untrue too. No one denies science. What people contest is the atheist/materialist bias and philosophy in science. Atheism is a philosophy, not science. It's also a fallacy to claim that the concept of science and the scientific establishment are one and the same. Atheists are blind and cannot differentiate them, just like Christians cannot differentiate between God and the Bible, or between religion and spirituality. Both Christians and Atheists are blind and authority worshippers in that sense. I explained that in many threads already. Didn't you see? This was debunked long ago.Gali wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2021, 9:24 amFor people who have problems with accepting science because of narcissm or other deficiencies and rather believe in ancient books written by miserable slaves.

No one denies science. That's a straw man. Science and spirituality or religion are not mutually exclusive. That is an artificial divide created by atheists. None of the great scientists were atheist, not even Charles Darwin. Religious people do not deny science, they believe science and God coexist. When Newton discovered gravity, he didn't become an atheist, he merely said that gravity is how God makes things work. That's all. The artificial dichotomy between science and religion is a pure invention of atheists to turn you into machines without a soul, so they hope, but in vain, because they are fighting against human nature and the divine nature of the cosmos and will always lose. Hence they are in the weakest and most losing position.
Look up Professor John Lennox from Oxford. He's written many books and given many lectures about this topic. Also look up Rupert Sheldrake. His book "The Science Delusion" explains all this and exposes the atheistic bias in science as a philosophy, not science. He has good lectures on YouTube about it, even a Ted Talk.
I've already explained all this many times. Why are you still ignorant and closed minded and dogmatic about it still? This was debunked ages ago. Yet in your world, atheistic dogmatism is still the ultimate truth. Why? Why do you filter out and ignore all data that contradicts your dogmatic beliefs?

Re: You all are NPCs. So stop bitching and start relaxing or not
That's never been proven. Macroevolution is a theory, but never been proven or demonstrated in a lab. Science says that it has to be demonstrated in a lab or with experiments to be considered proven. Therefore, macroevolution cannot be considered proven. That's an atheist lie, and an obvious lie too. Why do you still fall for it?Man With a Plan wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2021, 11:26 amI wish you idiots would stop peddling this inaccuracy. The thing is, I agree. We didn't evolve from monkeys.

Why monkeys and all them evolved differently we don't know, but the only people who still believe we "came from" monkeys are low IQ mongoloids.
Even if it's true that we came from ape like ancestors, it doesn't mean that it was due to evolution and natural selection only. Remember that natural selection only weeds out weaker organisms, it does not create new info in the genome. It cannot create increased complexity. So that is a basic contradiction.
Science has no explanation for how the human brain or human intelligence came about. It appears we were genetically altered to be what we are, through intervention. That's why we have so much junk DNA and our chromosomes were fused from 42 to 40, which is impossible in nature. It didn't happen by chance or evolution. Our transformation to man was too sudden, not gradual, and there are no intermediary or transitional species to account for it. That's the problem with macroevolution too, there are no transitional fossils. Darwin himself admitted that without transitional fossils, his theory falls flat and cannot be true. Yet Atheists refuse to accept that because evolution is their religion and masquerading as science.
There is now abundant evidence for the intervention theory of human origins. Look up Erich von Daniken, Lloyd Pye, Zecharia Sitchin, William Bramley's "The Gods of Eden", the Ancient Aliens series on History Channel, etc. The evidence is overwhelming now. Also see the 1970 documentary "Chariots of the Gods" which is free to view on YouTube. It's very persuasive and compelling and eye opening.
This has all been explained many times before here. Why are you guys still ignorant and not enlightened?
