I think this meme would be more funny without the “even”.

*if your goal is to eliminate hunger in a hypothetical future 5 years from now.

I think it’s a mistake to think that donating $50,000 to a charitable organization in 5 years is more important or “better” than buying $100 of groceries for someone who needs it today.

This person isn’t trying to maximize the amount of “good” they can do, they’re trying to minimize what it will cost them because they’re greedy and unwilling to actually give something of themselves.

“Giving all you have” doesn’t have to mean taking all of your money and possessions and just giving them to someone. It can also mean earnestly engaging with the idea that we’re here to serve and elevate each other, and having faith that in doing so we will create a better world.

I’d say the biggest problem with AI is that it’s being treated as a tool to displace workers, but there is no system in place to make sure that that “value” (I’m not convinced commercial AI has done anything valuable) created by AI is redistributed to the workers that it has displaced.

Hard work and passion.

Sometimes staring into the abyss lets me surpass my panic and find a certain peace that motivates me.

For example after reading “Before The Law” I thought to myself “I wonder what the man’s life would’ve been like if he chose not to seek entrance into the law, but instead lived by his own principles. It could’ve been a whole different story.”

Cool! I felt like I just read a weird version of Samurai Jack. I’ll have to check out more of his work.

I feel like I should read at least one book by Kafka. Any recommendations?

I’m downloading this and contributing to prove the haters wrong. Y’all are gonna regret not being able to say “I toad a so” like me.

 

Anyone have any ideas on how to kill God? I was thinking a out it and I think for a lot of people "God" is just this undefined "thing" out there that they can attribute other things to.

Like imagine a caveman kid talking to their caveman parent and asking questions like "Why is there a day and a night? Why is sky blue? Why is dog died?"

And the caveman parent just makes something up.

When people don't know the cause of something, they can create a cause out of their imagination.

God will always be lurking in the imaginations of stupid people, and we will always have stupid people on this planet.

For a while this scared me because I'm a stupid person with an imagination, so I knew the idea of "God" will stay with me till I die (since I can't think about anything when I die).

So I think the only way to kill God is if everyone dies. But even then it's a gamble because there's a whole "if a tree falls in a forest?" aspect.

Anyone else have any ideas?
