If good, evil and god were phenomena that could be observed directly then we’d understand better through that.
And that is arguably the case. I mean, the literature is full of god-sightings. And people have feelings of good and evil too.
That would depend on your experience, surely. And experience varies.
There’s a zen story about that
Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.”
The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.”
The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.”
The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Yes, exceptions exist. What I bring up here is the rule. So address that.
Address my actual point. Let’s discuss that incongruity.
You know as well as I that moderators are not named in the modlog.
Nobody will offer an actual argument. It’s weird
Moderators are not named in the modlog. Thus anonymous.
We already have a mechanism for debating things, it’s called Lemmy. No “conversations with admins” necessary.
Offer a real argument.
No. Their action is anonymous. Thus no scrutiny.
(from the modlog) reason: Foolish + misinformation
I guess the mod didn’t like what I was saying. The mods evade scrutiny, unfortunately.
The mods removed my reply to which you replied there.
I thought it was rather tame.
I think that the ui designers aren’t clear on what exactly they are designing.
A good ui has like 5 branches at every node.

What’s the contraction of “UI is”?
I do zazen too. Or rather Shikantaza. Nice to meet you.
I have strong opinions on the subject. Yes. But I try to be empirical about it. We can do that. That’s guaranteed common ground.
(sorry. Nevermind. Satire conveys badlyin this medium.)
Heck yes!
The stories about god are a copy of a copy of a copy. Dumbed down. Rendered in terms of popular metaphor. Light years from the original report by the weird old tripping mystic in the cave.
Imagine 1000 years from now. Quantum physics gets conflated with SpongeBob SquarePants.
