What do you mean condemn?

 

If the Christians 'believe in Hell, and think people are in danger of ending up there in the afterlife, depending on who they are in life.

Then I suppose it could make sense for Christians to warn people they might end up in Hell (From certain Christian perspectives).

Or point people out as examples of behaviors that land one in Hell, or endanger others to Hell.

 

'Ideally, for Hell believers, I suppose the motivation is trying to protect and save people.

Less ideally, it'd be sneering down at others.

. . .

 

I'm not well read on the Bible,

But I'm an Atheist anyway, I'd rather take away Hell as a metaphor.

 

People who live in selfish, cruel ways, often end up alone and in pain on Earth, never mind the afterlife.

Those who bully are often isolated and alone, if not bullied themselves in turn, should they 'lose power.

Lot of selfish behavior ends up self harmful,

Lot of behavior becomes difficult to 'break, the longer and deeper one digs the groove of that behavior.

End up with self destructive lifestyles, estranged from any friends or family.

Hard to change, and then one feels 'stuck in a Hell.

Maybe,

I vaguely recall Trump and Republicans using it as a selling point, that they were going to release the Epstein Files and all.

But politicians in general, and Trump in specific, are often liars, exaggerators.

‘I’m not surprised..

 

I think I 'vaguely recall the Epstein thing being a big talking point with QAnon? And some other Far right  conspiracy theorists, of the type who think Democrats eat babies and drink blood?

Not sure if such conspiracy theorists actually exist, just not the type of people I pay attention to.

. . . Not that the Epstein situation ‘isn’t a conspiracy of some sort.

Government often 'is.

Well, 'data is often property.

Observations, experiments, statistics.

 

I can understand people not wanting their property to be used against their ideals, or twisted to the purposes of others.

 

People often make big jump assumptions/conclusions from smaller 'facts.

. . . But then, I'm not so sure ‘facts are ’so often 'facts.

They're often ‘data, theories, impliers.

AI Impact

Leaning · a year ago

I think it's going to increase the inauthenticity of the internet.

Towards the end of DART, sure started to be a lot of AI created arguments

 

I wonder if it will lead to some communities being partial luddites.

Lot of ‘schools, might benefit by more testing than homework, though I'm not sure how many people actually use AI for homework.

Children Using Ai As a Substitute for Friends: Social Development Will Suffer

 

I'm not really sure social development is 'really going to suffer all that much.

Even before electricity, some people grew up in isolated homes,

I don't ‘think video games have effected people ’that much.

So maybe AI won't either.
