Separation of church and state seems to have been a pretty good idea despite Mike's idiocy in that regard as well. Maybe we also need a separation of economy and government too since their continued mismanagement has destabilized bonds, reduced confidence in US markets due to their manipulation, and an ongoing inability to even create a budget.
I get the idea that it's only temporary, but I'd much rather have a current gen AI paint a picture than attempt to program a guidance system or a heart monitor
John Dies At The End. Weird, sci-fi horror comedy that nobody saw
Budget <$1 million, box office $141,951
The story was originally written as a serial and released on a web site for free before getting sold as a book, the movie cuts out big sections that makes some scenes meaningless or contradicting earlier scenes. I think it's pretty fun to watch and it has a low budget sci-fi charm, but I get why it didn't do well. Given another screenwriter/director I think it could be retried.
I don't see how they believe in the same god though if they have basic, fundamental theological differences like what is the afterlife and how to get on their god's good side: belief? praise? works? Following all the rules of the Quran or Abraham? Within Christians trinitarians and unitarians will disagree on the identity of their god and what constitutes polytheism vs monotheism.
Do guys need cosmetic surgery on their ding dongs to get into the judeo-christo-islamic chimera god's good place?
Inquiring mind want to know more about how the foreskin blood magic works
Imagine the lack of self-reflection to call someone a barbarian while committing genocide to steal more land from Palestine. I can't apprehend the confusion of thought necessary to think this way without starting with some blunt force trauma to the noggin.
If you want some good demonstrations on how to deal with interlocutors who are conversing in bad faith (unwilling or unable to listen generously and engage with empathy) check out deconstruction zone (Justin) or AllegedlyIan.
corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.
The censorship on the movie The Big Sleep, based on a book about a pornography ring run by organized crime, was released at a time when they censored everything to the point of making the movie into a kind of nonsense with Bogart talking fast and Bacall singing a song about DV.
It already is as people become aware of its limitations, that's why they're so desperate to sell it to anyone now while there are still people out there in charge of funding shit that don't understand the boundaries/limitations of the current gen tech.
I think the more common problem for most of us is how would you protect yourself from a government than how would you protect yourself without a government, you don't need to replace a cancer with anything once it's cured.
You can still build organization and specialized jobs within anarchy and without a state government, political parties, etc. Look at anarcho-syndicalism, synthesis anarchism, federated associations, and platformism with principles in decentralization and free association without coercion.
Watched a few old episodes of AEW and Futurama this week. Also it's getting late and raining tonight and reminded me of this Joe Pera episode about waking up in the middle of the night when it's raining, a little niche but if you enjoy it he's got some good podcast episodes too.
