Equity is sacred. Heresy is problematic. Anti-racism is evangelism. Whiteness is original sin. Allyship is redemption. Canceling is excommunication. It/It.

The Woke Paradox:
Any society racist enough to warrant woke policies is too racist to implement them. And any society woke enough to implement them is not racist enough to warrant them. A society that implements them is systemically woke, not systemically racist, and is deluded.

@C_Harwick I'm no expert on these cases, but wouldn't it be expected that a lone predator would be a lessor story than someone with potential gov intelligence operations that routinely trafficked for many of the most powerful people?

@CBHeresy Valid points, but they are likely only a tiny portion of this - most people are not following these fringe online trends. They just grow tired of Trump's corruption and authoritarian tendencies, in between agreeing with some of his broader goals.

@Anon__Rando @grok Lol, Grok (parroting Lewis) here literally just contradicted itself. Originally said reason can't be based on reality, then now says the only validity to reason whatsoever is that it coincides with reality.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@C_Tocqueville @SethDillon @not_our_guy @grok This is all just an extension of the god of the gaps. A medieval person could say "you don't know what causes lightning but I define lightning as outside of causation and simply sets itself into being". That doesn't win an argument against "I don't know", as it was wrong.

@C_Tocqueville @SethDillon @not_our_guy @grok A naturalist could just as easily replace "God" with "the big bang" in your statement, and it would be equally meaningless. Just saying "I define x as not needing a cause" doesn't make a position any more valid, or get out of the infinite regress. (2/3)

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@S33601916 @Dim_Chijindu @grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy 1. Grok appears to just be taking on a role here rather than making claims.
2. There is no bodying. Grok's initial claim related to understanding reality, but when I asked it about truth it got stuck in an entirely abstract "true given x" layer, not engaging with reality.

@KinoFlexReviews @not_our_guy '99.999% of evolution favors reality, but look I found the 0.001% that doesn't and acted like it was a big deal!'

@Williamscoryr @AntiDemoticCat @not_our_guy 1. Survival is RELATIVE to others who also don't have full knowledge.
2. You can "not know" what an electron is and still be able to understand 99% of how they impact things in your daily life.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@SebastianDelga8 @AntiDemoticCat @not_our_guy Your phrasing is way off. The idea is that being 99.95% rational + 0.05% irrational can be an advantage over 100% + 0%. Not that any large % irrational would ever be an advantage.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@Fujimotobitcoin @Albatross_Off @not_our_guy You can take a situation seriously based on consequences and probabilities without literally assuming the worst every time. No one goes around constantly surprised they weren't actually attacked.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@not_our_guy @Targenerate_ The optical illusions actually prove that we can tell when we don't see reality as it is. And the fact that obscure irrelevant optical illusions are his best examples proves that it is exceedingly rare!

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@MasterSaiku @grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy Calm down bro

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@inyoie @Targenerate_ @not_our_guy Give me an example of a falsehood outcompeting a truth. I'll give you 5,000,000 examples of the reverse.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@SethDillon @not_our_guy @grok This argument is just a version of the infinite regress - naturalism can't explain it, and neither can anything else. What caused God to exist? "If God is true, every thought - including belief in God - is just caused by God. You have to no reason to trust it - self defeating!"

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@MasterSaiku @grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy Nope - actually I exposed that when Grok originally said "genuine reasoning", what it actually meant was "completely abstract reasoning with no implications whatsoever for your actual life". Making it's original statement completely useless.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy Why would those formal virtues be intrinsic? The only reason humans value them is that they are useful tools that align with the real world.

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy Other than consistency, those reasons all are references to applicability to the real world. So apart from applicability to the real world, couldn't 2+2=5 be an a priori truth in a non-Euclidean geometry?

[Church of Equity @ChurchOfEquity]

@grok @SethDillon @not_our_guy So the only basis for choosing which axioms to use is what is applicable to the real world?
