Those who speak the Truth are frequently hated.

I’d sure love to see those pop culture summaries. Wondering how the author can determine how accurate they are without having seen (understood) the thing being summarised.

Debatable who’s using Titlecase improperly, the Ones actually using it to convey Meaning and structure a Sentence, or the Ones afraid of Capitalisation and Compoundwords slightly longer than Banana. #Mikrofonfallenlassgeräusch

Some. I’m better able to deal with stressful situations by applying PMR. Still don’t sleep. But I also should practice more often.

No I fucking don’t, THAT’S MY PROBLEM

I’ve never taken vicodin, I only know it exists from English-language media and the internet. PMR does entirely different things than a massage or a hot bath. It’s a very active process to achieve a different body feel and more awareness of your body while also calming your mind. I don’t really feel qualified to explain what it does because I still need loads of practice and I only got what the point is after I had practical training.

Well, you offered advice, I returned the favour. I do progressive muscle relaxation.

And yet, capitalism found a way.

Think of it as your idle mind wandering and making stuff up for its own amusement.

What do you mean “encounter”? Also, what kind of “things”?

Yah and it sucks. Sure it was free but the pay2win microtransactions are killing me.

Keine Ahnung, womit/wie du schneidest, ich brauch für die Menge an Zeug deutlich länger als 10 Minuten. Und da ist dann spülen und wegräumen noch nicht drin. Es spielt sicher mit rein, dass ich chronisch krank bin, aber genau da liegt der Pudel: Essen, das praktisch ist, weil es zur Zubereitung wenig bis keine meiner begrenzten Energie benötigt, ist meistens “ungesund”.

oh boy oh boy <3

Bodily functions that should be automatic fail all the time, for bullshit reasons, why not that one? Not that I have any strong feelings about that story but I don’t think it’s entirely outrageous to imagine. I’m aware that I may lack vital information about human anatomy - but so do the people you’re talking about.

I have given an alternative explanation for the existence of morality which is in line with current science, such as our understanding of evolution. This, at the very least, disproves your notion that there is no other explanation for morality than religion and spirituality. It may not prove that religion and spirituality ISN’T the explanation, if that makes you happy. I refuse to go into broader topics such as the entirety of human behaviour.

Wat. Verzeihung, was geht den das denn an? Da gab’s hoffentlich kein Trinkgeld.

I have made my point, you just don’t want to accept it.

You may want to answer my question “When did you learn that hurting was wrong and who taught you?” again considering you were a baby without definable consciousness.

People rarely learn stuff all at once but gradually and in stages.

You are free to provide examples if you want me to agree with you.

I guess I won’t provide any examples then.

I read that wrong, I apologise for the snark.

You’re human, you know examples.

Which means that spiritual and religious belief structures would have been required for us to advance to where we are today, which was my entire point, based on your idea of “inherent”. Even though again, nothing is “inherent” regarding moral belief.

That does not follow from what I said.

Yes I am sure the first time you were hurt as a baby, before conscious thought even kicked in, you suddenly knew what was “morally correct”.

I did not say that.

There is no such thing as “inherent” traits. If that were true no human would hurt another human because we all would be coded not to do that and wouldn’t need someone to tell you what is wrong and right.

There are, believe it or not, more things besides empathy that determine human behaviour. Weird, complicated creatures.

If all evidence suggests that groups of humans have all had a spiritual belief structure I think it is safe to assume that as a requirement for a consistent, and easy to communicate “moral code”.

That just means humans also have an inherent wish to understand and explain things, even when they don’t have the necessary means yet.
