PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVE:
The list of Transgressions is as Follows:
* Crime of Arrogance before the people
* Fear of death
Cycloneboy posted:discipline posted:Cyclonebaby please describe in 250 words your ideal world
everyone lives forever and pain is nonexistent.
* Worshipping false Idols
Cycloneboy posted:Crow posted:Explain the mathematics to me, that's my area of expertise. Also, discipline is studying financialization, so I imagine she probably knows more about the effect your blood money has on humanity than you can begin to suspect.
80k at 9% post-inflation AAR w/ additions of 11.5k (45k*.7-20k) every year will produce an account with ~1M after 20 years. 1M w/ a perpetuity of 2% grants 20k per year, every year, until the stars burn out.
* Lack of faith

Why do atheists fear death
see this is why i don't think they're truly atheists. but then again there's plenty of 'religious' people that fear death too, so it must be a primal, eternal fear in the sense of 'eternal return'

20k a year isnt bad if you have a home paid for (moms house) and no kids (obviously)
thats still entirely dependent on location. bay area california would be different from the midwest in terms of how far 20k a year would get you.
i'm also just bourgeois and cant comprehend anyone making under 200k a year

why wouldn't we? if i didn't think earthly pleasures were better than the void i would have already killed myself. its an Anthropic Principle

thats false. barring some great emotional or physical pain to give it power, your conscious mind is overruled by der Wille zu leben

i dont think most atheists are transhumanists. otoh a large majority of theists are so gripped with the lizard fear of the abyss that they construct elaborate fantasy worlds, less plausible than the most bonged-out fever dream of a transhumanist, that their magic spirits will go to and exist forever after their flesh goes stiff
nope, theists and mystics gave birth to modern science, completely and utterly, and many principles survive in a secular manner, while transhumanists are by and large a cargo cult hiding behind their glowing computer orbs and have contributed to humanity a grand total of Zero accomplishments.

everything will kill you, duh, even moderation doesnt keep you alive long, if you cataloged and considered every possible thing that would kill you, then you would live in constant fear that you will be ripped away from your "earthly pleasures" and cast off into "the void". this is fear, it is why when you arent happy, when you are nerve-racked and never at peace, you refuse to kill yourself. how could peacefulness and resolution and wholeness in the void possibly be worse than earthly hell? yet those who fear death dont take the Better Option, do they?
no, there's more to it than that. fearing death is a vice, and atheism itself presupposes the truth that one must not fear death.
