   Carl Sagan said a few interesting things. System critique even from the proto redditor is valid.

     The guys who say stuff like this, Ted K, WLP, etc. end up being right because they see the negative aspects of some new technology or trend and follow it through to the extreme end of things knowing that money overrides decency.
     
     It's easy to do and I'm sure you've made many predictions like that which have, unfortunately, came true. People who are smart, like yourself and many of the people in our circles, see that stuff and realize that we're going to end up with the worst version of whatever scenario it is because the jews in power only care about money.

     @buttered_poasties Agreed, but only if it was the right kind of both. Neoliberal superstitions and ignorance about reality while trusting our scientific 'priest class' is creating a zealous civilization destroying cult amongst bureaucrat leaders and their jannisaries.

     @BowsacNoodle superstition and "ignorance" being embraced and acted upon would solve most of our problems right now.

     And I agree with what Carl said in this article or whatever it is but I'm not real big on him otherwise. I don't think he is as smart as people give him credit for and if he would've kept his atheism out of stuff instead of pushing it so often I'd enjoy a lot more of his content.
     
     He's jewish though, so either atheism or judaism was a given since they always choose one of the main religions that hate God.
     
     I have NEVER understood how so many "scientists" can claim to be atheists. Agnostic I could understand but it is very pretentious and foolish to say for certain there is no creator when you don't even know for certain how the universe was formed and who or what created the starting matter or energy to kick off the big bang.

     @GabeLakmann @BowsacNoodle There are lots of agnostic or religious scientists too

     @GabeLakmann @CatLord @BowsacNoodle Besides obviously making a negative claim unashamedly It really betrays the midwittery of modern scientists, assuming that they can make metaphysical judgements from a completely material and physical perspective. The question "why is there something rather than nothing" doesn't even enter the equation. They'll just mechanically describe the theories of universal genesis like a computer defining the hue and saturation values of a the colours in a beautiful painting when asked to describe it, completely missing the point.

     Most of them seem to be either strongly atheist or strongly religious. I can understand the agnostic and strongly religious ones but part of science is asking questions and so far there is not proof that there is or isn't a God (in their opinion, in my opinion I think that just existing is proof of a creator of some sort) so that question hasn't been answered scientifically and the fact that something exists instead of nothing points to a creator of some sort.

     @Gelert @GabeLakmann @CatLord And when they can't, they use "dark matter" and "dark energy" to make their bad equations work. If you can't show proof of your work, just add a ton of variables to make your "proof" workout and claim they're invisible and incalculable :trollfaceburnedeyes: . Tell me how undetectable dark matter is different from Russell's teapot, considering it only "has to exist" to make their equations and observations accurate.

     Very cool.
     
     Even Richard Dawkins called himself a "weak atheist".

     @BowsacNoodle following some basic gut instinct primitivism instead of faith in abstractionism. the natural revulsion acted upon.
