Let that be a lesson. Truth comes from authority, not the evidence of your senses.

Then allow me to enlighten you.

A system of laws is not human. Tho built by humans. Much like a car or a toaster. And as such lacks the intelligence, depth and flexibility of a human. And is subject to gaming, breaking, and all the other problems of machines that interface with reality and humans.

That is my point.

Not smart, just an absence of dumb. Is this an important distinction?

You should write children's books.

Is that a big difference?

Totally not the point but from that picture of cubicles. What a great idea. If we entered the cubicle from the top we could fit way more cubicles in.

Well there's a progressive attitude. I imagine a rainbow swastika.

I believe that you are avoiding my question.

It was just an example.

My point is the specific utility of beliefs. You seemed to be offering an interesting one.

Imagine a landscape made of beliefs. In it you are always standing on some bunch of beliefs. So choosing and navigating is going to be important. To get to the good beliefs and avoid the bad ones.

I think that nazi is an expression of trauma, given form by propaganda.

Take away the trauma and nazi disappears.

Take away the propaganda and you get, I dunno, less organized bad behavior.

You people, always so concerned with being right. It gets in the way of conversation.

 

I mean samatha/vipassana or whatever.

I encounter things relevant to atheism sometimes when I meditate.

 

It's part of my mind, or body, or thereabouts.

It's why dreams (and supposedly the afterlife) invariably involve time, space, people etc.

Raw reality is made of vibes or poetry. A song without words. Then the translator adds the words.
