My wife is very empathetic and has had a difficult time buying the idea that there could be so much evil and the media is protecting/perpetuating the evil.
Then we got Covid (confirmed positive tests, yes). And we took ivermectin. It helped me get mostly better after only 10 hours of being real sick. Similar experience to Joe Rogan. For her she took it, was getting better, then secretly stopped taking it because she didn’t fully buy what I had told her about it. Then she got worse and worse while I got better. Two days later she said she’d take it again… and within an hour her symptoms went down. This morning (18 hrs later) she seems to be almost over it all.
I showed her that great doc on the history of ivermectin and she’s now finally taken the red pill because she experienced how this drug really does work and if people are suppressing it then… well… evil… and she’s now pissed about it… first major red pill.
I choose logic and science. It's also your choice to believe in that or not, or stay part of a brainwashing cult that wants your tithes with the false promise of an afterlife for being a good, loyal servant of "god".
And yet, what do the scientists actually say? That the universe is most likely a simulation.
Who's the simulator?
Religion and science are not incompatible. I mean, it is if you're a fuckin' retard, like yourself. But for anyone with a working brain, you realize that science and logic will only help you appreciate even more just how complex of a system was created.
Saying and demonstrating are very different things. For example, you say god created the universe but can't demonstrate it - scientists say the universe was created naturally and can demonstrate it. We can demonstrate how the universe works via methodological naturalism; no supernatural or god needed for anything at all.
Yeah you're not gonna figure that one with the scientific method. Ever. That's what Philosophy is for, though! If you'd like to find out more about why we're potentially here, the meaning of life, and other musings, you should take a few Philosophy courses.
What are you talking about? You don't use philosophy to figure out how the universe works. Philosophy is for "why are we here?" not "how did we get here?" which is where science comes in. Religion is completely useless, especially because any motivation they might give people can be obtained without religion.
