God doesn’t exist (though there is a tiny, tiny chance there’s some higher power that doesn’t intervene, because the human intelligence gap is unreasonably huge, making humans undeniably special)
Every organized religion is a cult
Free will is an illusion
Aliens most likely exist, given the insane size of the universe and we know life can exist here
Humans will still always give in to their brutal tribal instincts and that’s why the world is how it is
I believe the pen in front of me exists.
That coffee cup is suspicious though.
A thing called love
Do you believe in love after love?
Brb gotta feel what my insides say
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me!
Life after love
- Water is wet
- The sky is blue
- Women have secrets
The sky isn’t blue.
The world is made of magic, it just differentiated into so many forms, that one of them is science and that’s what many people believe is all there is.
I feel in the mood to explain more about this:
Similar to european school’s history classes tend to be focused on european history (we call that “eurocentrism”), our worldview is focused on humans, i think that’s called “anthropocentrism”. While humans are important, it’s not everything there is. There’s also plants and other living beings, and in fact there’s many more of them than of us. I try to consider that.
I’m calling the unity of all life “magic”, i came up with that and it’s supposed to be a play-on-words on the german word “Magen” (stomach) (representing that plants and animals are connected through an important relationship that is food). Also the stomach is the organ most physiologically/spatially central in the human body, in my opinion. So i imagine that everything’s in the human is built around that “central” organ that is the stomach. That makes sense as the intake of food is the root of all animal existence, that enables animal’s existence in the first place. Thus “everything is created from the stomach outwards”, as supportive organs to help the stomach collect and digest food.
This is an interesting take.
I like to think of Science as magic, because it really is.
Ancient peoples played with “Alchemy,” and modern chemistry is simply that. They would lose it if they knew we could “grow” diamonds, or that we have created an entirely new element.
Or that we’ve turned lead into gold, though not very cost-effectively to say the least.
The power of friendship (I have no friends)
What is stopping you from having friends?
Myself I guess.
It took me longer than I’d like to think of an answer.
Maths.
Maths is good.
Free will is an illusion.
Either as Hard determinism (60% confidence in this theory), or as in some form of Quantum randomness (40% confidence in this theory), you cannot just willy nilly pick something. Its just an algorithm, and, possibly, a little bit of randomness, if Quantum randomness is true.
I agree that free will is an illusion, but have decided that because it is true it isn’t worth thinking about further.
I don’t find the “why” to be interesting, which is interesting because it is like “I” am trying to avoid further reflection on that fact which “I” also have no control over. haha
I have a crackpot theory that I enjoy for the sake of enjoying it. What if our “soul” or “consciousness” is the collapse of the quantum field. Our decisions moment to moment aren’t random chance, but the unspeakable thing.
Again, pure speculation, but it’s a lot more satisfying and rewarding to live by than throwing moral responsibility to the universe.
Nah, if I commit a warcrime, I’m blaming the universe.
Aint my fault, should’ve made me a master
I always understand “free will” to mean “figure out who you really are”. I.e., every person has a certain character from birth, and that just unfolds throughout life. “Free will” is about figuring that out.
Only that which has evidence to support it.
How much n is enough n?
Depends on what n is.

You’re one up on me there.
Which God?
Believing in something seems to imply thinking something to be true without having evidence for it - otherwise it would be knowledge, a justified true belief. So I know a couple things, like that I exist as a conscious being, and have practical empirical knowledge of the rest of the sensory world too.
Believe means to accept as true or real, and does not define the precondition to the belief.
How can you prove that you exist as a conscious being?
How can you prove that your senses can be trusted?
-
I am thinking about whether I exist as a conscious being. Therefore there must be an ‘I’ to be thinking that.
-
I can’t prove that my senses can be trusted with 100% certainty to tell me truth - in fact I can prove the opposite with things like optical illusions. However, when interacting with the world that I only know is real through my senses, basing my behaviour on those same senses that let me know the world exists seems reasonable to me. That’s what I call practical knowledge, rather than true knowledge.
How do you define “I”?
In other words you believe what your senses tell you to be real even though you cannot objectively prove your senses to be trustworthy?
-
‘I’ is the thing that is thinking it
-
I don’t ‘believe’ that my senses are real, but that it’s good enough to act as though they are real, regarding the sensory world.

What you just uttered is a totally valid belief in my eyes :)
Beliefs don’t always have to be based on mere intuition alone. It’s totally fine to be able to back up what one believes with arguments.
The indomitable human spirit
These are some more lighthearted things, but here goes:
• Sonic the Hedgehog ( Sonic '06 ) wouldn’t be as fun of a game if all the bugs and glitches were gone. I live for a good glitch or six sometimes. Same without the highly difficult and janky super speed sections.
• Sonic Unleashed is an amazing game ( but the xbox/ps3 versions are the superior versions, as someone who has beat it on ps2 and xbox360 ).
• Due to the janky turn left/right movements on Sonic Lost World and just general movement jank, I am absolutely glad they have the run button to occasionally slow me down and stop me from dying.
• Also an extreme believer that the special stages ( on the 3DS version of Lost World ) are absolute cancer.
• Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was nowhere near as good as The Wrong Trousers. I absolutely hated how they made Wallace absolutely incompetent and idiotic when it comes to normal things ( like how to use a non-electric tea pot ) when he didn’t have any technology.
• Xbox style controllers with BAXY ( right, down, left, up ) button layout are the way to go. The only exception to that belief right now is my 3rd party wired switch controller because it has a headphone jack.
I haven’t played any of the Sonic games since Sonic and Knuckles so I am going to have to take your word on all of that. haha
I am partial to how the Joycon is set up myself, but I think it is just because of how much I play it compared to alternate styled consoles.
Sonic and Knuckles special stages are so much better, in my opinion. Maybe I’m just not good at the Lost World special stages on 3DS, but I somehow struggle because they use motion controls ( moving myself and the whole system to move in a 3D environment ). Moving along in a straight line to collect balls is so much easier, in my opinion.
Also, joycons are an alright enough setup, but I personally don’t like how small they are. My hands were not made for extended unattached usage of those things.
That the US is far beyond fixing itself nonviolently.
Violence is always necessary when dealing with dogs that can’t talk, only bite. And Americans are easily some of the most violent people on Earth, so the worry isn’t there, it’s that once again someone will use that anger to fuel their violent actions but will direct it once more against the innocent. Also, the cops would never allow it, they’re even worse dogs, lol, and would definitely have to be put down before anything.
Honestly, I can’t see America becoming anything but a hwite ethnonationalist dictatorship. The lost and the stupid yearn for a messiah and will never even consider putting in the mental work so they would rather leave it all in the hands of an appealing character, and Americans know too little about the world to give it to anyone with a shred of decency and competence.
I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
What you need is a rain out.
