  • Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing.

  • The landscape should also have some strong pillars and mountains of hard facts and factual truth. But besides that, yes it sounds like a good mind construct. Interesting idea for sure.

  • The part with the neighbors was more or less only a joke. If i believe anything about them, then that they are good, honest and peacefull people. Because so far nothing happend to make be think otherwise.

    The belief that the neighbors will kill someone (oneself for example) sounds more like a delusion... or a really bad neighborhood!

    In both cases is a counter belief maybe not the best solution

    But yes, i do think that beliefs can be helpful to counter inner urges and impulses. The belief in laws and punishment by law is an example for it.

    And shared beliefs (for example faith and religion) acts like a glue for societies. The belief in eternal judgment by an all knowing god in combination with a holy law book (that is what most holy texts in their core are IMHO) helps to prevent chaos and ensures that people can work against a common and shared goal. As an example for the good and positive side of that.

  • And you can't let it be. Well me neither, but i will just add you to my blocklist now. That will end this dumb/pointless conversion for sure.

  • Beliefs are important, beliefs are what gets us through life somewhat mentally sane.

    Beliefs are (for example) the cornerstone of relationships, because you have to believe that your partner really loves you. There is no hard evidence for that so it can never be a fact, only a belief.

    I believe that my neighbors don't plan to kill me in my sleep (why should they, I am a nice and easy neighbor), I believe that the person at the fast food corner doesn't spit on my food (and that they had washed hands after using the toilet), I believe that my landlord will some day repair the water damage in my second bathroom (and put all the bathroom stuff like sink, shower and toilet back in).

    One could say that belief is behind everything where "trust" is involved. Belief is just accepting something as true, either because it is something that is a concept without hard facts (love, religion, justice, freedom, money, "the good in people") or it is something where the information are lacking either because they are not fully known yet or because it is such a complex topic that having all information is (nearly) impossible.

    I believe for example that climate change is real, because I trust (there it is again) the science. I have to believe in this case because I can't have all the information without studying climate sciences, and one can argument that even our best climate scientists doesn't have all the information (models are still incomplete and simulations don't use all possible parameters) so even they have to believe for some parts.

    Beliefs become problematic when people take them as hard facts, as dogmas, and become extreme.

    I believe that taking extreme positions is always wrong and a way to disaster and suffering. That's one reason why I don't like faith and are against cults of any kinds.

  • Yes, if you change the complete context and make major changes to the sentences, then both can be true. I am sorry that I made that mistake, I beg for forgiveness

  • a) ad hominem and b) where did you take the information from that I am an anime fan? Only because I know the definition of the Japanese word "Moe"? A definition that is only one Wikipedia search away.

    Maybe you should get some education and logical thinking first before you send others into re-education.

  • Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought

  • Having a minds eye or not is a different thing from having a inner monologue or not. People can have both, one of it or none.

    Lack of an inner eye is called Aphantasia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia

    I have a inner monologue but not a glimpse of an inner eye.

  • As I said in another post this was only a demonstration that people can read and interpret negative meaning in every combination of words if they really want to. I even gave the definition why "Ghoul" can be read in a negative way, but yeah it is easier to pull the conversation down to the ad hominem level like you did.

    So in that regard was my little demonstration really successful, way more so then I intended.

    To be honest, I don't care at all what they use as a funny wordplay, Moe Ghoul is even funnier than the older choice in my eyes. But my personal opinion about it is irrelevant, sorry that I have one.

    I really think we should end the conversation here, because I already tried to end it with the nice weekend.

  • We talk about personal opinions, there is not much that is more personal then personal opinions. And you are making ad hominem claims (my soberness) so yes it is about me.

    But it is not me how brought it to the personal level, that was you with calling me drunk. Before that it was completely abstract and impersonal.

  • You begin with "this clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs" and have near the end "they probably changed it because coon is a slur for black people".

    This is self contradictory, both statements can't be true at the same time.

    I am not offended by anything here, I couldn't care less about what they use as fun wordplay in there.

    Had a slow day and lots of free time at a train ride and just want to show that everything written can be misinterpreted and misunderstood. There is a bad meaning or derogatory slang for nearly every word out there.

  • I am drunk because I have the belief that everyone should be truly equal in front of the law and that rules about a thing/concept should be valid for all instances of that thing/concept? If you think so then, ok I am drunk and go home. Have a nice weekend!

  • Bullying should never be ok, and rules should be valid and applicable for everyone.

    Nobody should be a valid target for verbal abuse, not even anime nerds.

    So if a rule against verbal harm and abuse are implemented (which I am not against at all) then such rule should be valid and used for all cases. There is no equality if new inequality is created in the process.

  • Not a bigger stretch then with the Ty Coon, that was obviously a play on the Tycoon.

    It was not me who started to read bad things into word play, but by that rules is Moe Ghoul offensive too.

  • So instead of a racial slur they now make fun of Anime/Manga/Video Game fans

    "Moe (Japanese: 萌え; pronounced [mo.e] ⓘ), sometimes romanized as moé, is a Japanese word that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, video games, and other media directed at the otaku market. Moe, however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_(slang)

    That in combination with Ghoul

    "In folklore, a ghoul (from Arabic: غول, ghūl) is a demon-like being or monstrous humanoid, often associated with graveyards and the consumption of human flesh"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoul

    creates a not very nice combination.

  • I am playing a new character in Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind right now. The modding community for that game is so good, with OpenMW (a open source engine rebuild) and the tool "umo" it was so easy to install a curated mod list that not only upscaled the graphics but also extended the game with not only a huge part of the Morrowind mainland but also parts of cyrodiil and Skyrim. So much new content and places to explore now!

  • There already is a API for this with ebpf for Windows and it is the same API that can be used on Linux (because it originates from Linux).

    EBPF still runs in Kernel space but in a much more limited and confined way.
