For anyone else that plays TTRPGs like DND… this is me trying to play the most rules light of rules light equivalents with my 6 and 4 year olds. There is no video as the camera was face-down on the table. And god knows how much you can hear since they kept sperging off in excitement. But here it is for your listening pleasure until I can extract the audio to @wavlake @zap.stream and plebs.app. (I had to split it up to fit it) #family #games #kids #fatherhood #creativity #stories #wavelake #zapstream

This is a draft excerpt from the book I am writing (very slowly). But I think that this might be a good one for many of you (especially @deeznuts ) to look at and understand the greater epistemological points under my tirades on this platform. True North There is no north, at least not in the material sense. But yet north is a true concept. You cannot face north and see it for what it is without knowing or discovering the concept beforehand. North refers to an abstract principle of true relationships between locations on the surface of a planet in reference to that planet’s magnetic field. In the same sense, there is no god. There is no separate god that stood outside the universe and set into place its natural order. But the thing people have called god for millions of years DOES exist, and the core truths embedded within the concept are the reason that it had independently evolved in nearly all human cultures for as long as there are records of them. God did not CREATE the natural order, what you call god IS the natural order. This is why your scientists refer to the discoveries of their field as “looking into the eye of god”. Because the true referent of the concept of “god” is the base and immutable laws of nature that they are applying their discipline to learning. “God” is the underlying logos of the universe, the set of fundamental rules that all things must obey by the virtue of existing. They are the summation and abstraction of that what makes existence what it is. The fallacy of “God” in the traditional sense was treating it separate from all else… as if it was something that could be spoken to directly. God in the biblical sense is the equivalent of praying to north to find your way home when you are lost and trusting the north winds and the spirits of animals to guide you home instead of checking a map or a compass for reference. “Jesus, take the wheel” is the ultimate result of this mindset: abdicating responsibility, accepting the inevitability of an outcome, and treating a circumstance as if it has no base principles that could be applied to it. Furthermore, this mentality carries with it a corollary abdication of understanding: it requires blind trust of an outside authority in abdication for coming to learn things oneself. It is the same concept as blindly trusting “the experts”, “the government”, or “the trusted sources”… and it all comes from the same dark place—- “I just want to exist without thinking and receive regardless of doing”. #religion #theism #god #epistemology #theoryofconcepts #intellectualhonesty #honesty #integrity #responsibility.

I’m so fucking done with YouTube’s bullshit. Am I supposed to be able to name and credit a random song playing on the radio that I was just freestyling because it was on and we had a break from work? I couldn’t credit them if I tried. Idk who the hell’s song it is. But they copyright restricted it within 40 min of upload. Fuck them in the throat with a chainsaw. Coming to #nostr as soon as I get home or whenever @zap.stream and @plebs.app enable phone uploading. #youtube #censorship #bullshit
