they/them
I don’t have an account, but I gave it that prompt as many times as it would let me, and it said: Erasmus; Socrates, Hypatia, or Benjamin Franklin; Benjamin Franklin again; and Socrates again.
Out of curiosity, I posed the same question to the models on duck.ai. GPT4o-mini said Ghandi, MLK Jr., or Nelson Mandela; Llama 4 Scout also said Mandela; Haiku 3.5 said Mandela too; o4-mini said Ghandi; and Mistral said Erasmus.
Just picked up Crusader Kings II, the base game is free on steam. Definitely right up my alley, so far I like the more diplomatic focus of CK2 compared to the other Paradox games I’ve played (HOI4 and Stellaris).

Just another item on Russia’s Geneva Checklist…
Oh, ok. I still think we might be able to measure such things in the future, but that’s a much more defensible position. I don’t see how that pertains to spiritualism tho, maybe there’s a term that fits that better. Belief in qualia?
I respectfully disagree. There’s nothing inherently preventing a future technology that’s able to objectively measure personal experiences, since we don’t have any evidence to suggest that thoughts and experiences happen anywhere other than physically in the brain.
Thus-far unobserved spirits are an unnecessary addition to the neurochemical processes we know to occur in the brain and know to drive thinking. By Occam’s Razor, an evidence-based worldview must reject these unnecessary assumptions.
Also, no, science is not “filling gaps in spirituality”. The claim that there are spirits is the positive case, and bears the burden of proof.
I would class those as psychological experiences, not spiritual ones. Just because we currently lack the tools to very precisely and objectively correlate brain activity with specific thoughts, that doesn’t mean we can never quantify that at some future date.
This feels like a “spirituality-of-the-gaps”. By this definition lightning was a purely spiritual experience until we figured out that it’s electricity. Our lack of understanding on a subject doesn’t make it magic, it’s just something we don’t understand yet, and that’s ok. The laws of physics existed long before humans existed to describe them, and they’ll continue to function long after we’re extinct.

So real, I hate peeing where other people can see me, it’s so uncomfortable. I always either wait for a stall or find another bathroom.
Skong is real, the cake is a truth, beleivers win. It’s a beautiful day.
I hope 2025 actually means 2025 this time, idk if I can handle another multi-year delay without going completely silksane.
I’m not a morning person either, but I have ADHD, so coffee does nothing for me. I have to get up 2 hours before I have to leave or else I’m just simply not awake, which is plenty of time for a run.
I don’t actually go for a run, but I could. Theoretically.
You got the right 196 :)

I think I missed something, what’s YTPB?
I’ve still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn’t jinx it lol)
The “liquid parts” of earth are just a thin puddle over basically the same solid shell covering the rest of the planet, relatively speaking. Uranus does have a small rocky core (so probably should have been included tbh), but Jupiter’s core is just liquid and doesn’t even have a clear boundary between the gas and the core.
