All psychological problems are rooted in an inability to let go.

@OrboBro @JayDyer Jay Dyer is a well known gibberish generator - these types of discussions with him are a waste of time

@paleochristcon what would superior even mean when comparing norms? just sounds like you're presupposing moral realism of some sort

When it comes to creating a cult-like relationship between you and your audience, the #1 thing to focus on is instilling doubt. Doubt in other things, doubt in other people, doubt in themselves, doubt in anyone and everyone except for you.

@AlexHormozi The etymology of a word is irrelevant to what people actually understand it to mean so this point is just useless - actually, most words have modern meanings that are different from their original roots anyway

@eptwts If he's starting out I think @gobeyondcopy's stuff is really good - will help him get to intermediate pretty damn fast

Also main need mover for him though, will just be writing and getting feedback

[Vardan @_v100__]

@gobeyondcopy @_alexbrogan no, the burden of proof is always on the person making the claim

the person challenging could even hold an agnostic view towards the truth-value of the given claim and just ask for evidence anyway

@thesamocean dude that setup and the view are so sick 🔥

[Vardan @_v100__]

@pierre_koutani God bless

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate cheers🥂!

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate Sure your position is clearer now. Though I'd imagine that if you're consistent in believing that humans ought to exercise all of their capabilities to evolve (and God wants them to) it's gonna get you some to some strange reductio but nevertheless interesting POV.

Great talk!

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate hm, so do you believe that the concept of sin entails a contradiction because it prevents us from exercising all of our capabilities and exercising all of our abilities is the way humans develop? (also assuming that the meaning of human life according to God is to develop)

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate okay, I think we've found some common ground. It looks like you don't actually think that there is a contradiction entailed by the concept of sin but rather you think the concept of sin is limiting us from exercising all of our capabilities.

is this right?

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TalesOfJacob Super wholesome ❤️

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate Don’t you think restricting yourself from doing some things despite having the capability to is a form of self conquest?

also I take a contradiction to mean some proposition and it’s negation in conjunction. So no I don’t see a contradiction.

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate Oxymoron in which sense? I don’t quite see the paradox/contradiction entailed by the concept of sin

Also presumably you reject the notion that any religious texts are the word of God yes?

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate oh that sounds interesting

let me ask a question about your view then:

when you say God doesn't see pride as a sin what exactly is the basis for that?

[Vardan @_v100__]

@TeN_Orochi @Cobratate I don't know which particular religion you subscribe to, but in Christianity, from which perspective George was speaking, it is indeed considered a sin. Of course, this could be different for other religions.

Jeremiah 9:23–24 just to give an example of a verse that condemns it

[Vardan @_v100__]

@ocelotmma Beats all of em probably

The hardest fight is gonna be Islam so maybe that’s 50/50 but I’d still say Arman wins

[Vardan @_v100__]

@AbuHafsah1 If we go by your idiosyncratic definition of the word Muslim then Hindus apparently are also Muslims

See how fucking retarded you sound?
