I don't think it's "monasticism" either. I think the monasteries rose to suit those people, I don't think the monasteries made them.
I think in a post-scarcity society, there's no good reason not to initiate violence.

>>4814917
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, man. But I do think a lot of workers are peaceful. When I said not interacting with the world at large, that was harsh, but I'm a bit angry at these monastic-seeming people lately.
I just fear them being unjustly harmed. Peaceful people should be left at peace, warlike people should be free to war. I just think the war lifestyle is more generally attractive when people are exposed to both ways, and think it'd be best if we made places for peaceful people like communists and monks and nuns and that peace type of buddhist to stay and be happy and make wine and talk about their favorite things and love each other in the way they think it's best to love each other. But they have a tendency to be too open, and I fear they'd be too nice and let somebody devious into their midst.

So maybe there should be open ones and closed ones, for the more and less daring of peaceful people.

Peaceful men belong in monasteries, not interacting with the world at large.

Yes. But I think any socialism that's anarchy will ultimately be weak enough for a man born violent to penetrate and destroy, and ultimately lead to authoritarian dictatorship, which will not be socialism.

>closing your mind to any peoples' wisdom

The thing about socialism is that it's not anarchy.

That mean the crap that doesn't exist, right?

And that's why we need to kill God

>showing God "respect" ('healthy' fear)
But then he can tell you what to do

>>4804263
It's okay to admit you're scared of the dark, m8. There are serial killers, rapists, wolves, ghosts, monsters, perverts, robbers, thugs and...

>>4804260
Yeah, it's God. Literally the Judeo-Christian God. Radiation is YWYH.

>>4804231
No, I was asking why radiation isn't God.
>>4804234
I think I get it. You see god as the universe, and see the universe as a bunch of pricks and nonsense and you just want them to leave you and your friends and family alone, and see the bible as one extension of the bunch of pricks.

Is that something close to true?

>>4804230
I'm not a Christian, and I really only read non-fiction books because if I want fiction I can play video games, watch plays, act in plays, sing songs, read poetry or fantasize about shit myself.

So a black hole is a sun mad out of rocks?

>>4804217
How is calling dark matter God self-refuting?

>>4804210
How?

>>4804202
>we only see black
That's the black hole!

>>4804195
Haven't we seen black holes in telescopes?

>You can't label whatever you don't know as God.
Why not?

>it doesn't really interact with anything
It's used to describe a whole bunch of material we can't sense but that we're pretty sure is there because otherwise relativity says the universe should explode or implode or turn to cunts or something.

>>4804168
>outside of the bounds of human knowledge
As of now.
>>4804169
>How are they going to prove that Dark Matter is God?
They're not

That's why I used quotes.

There's more to the universe than gravity, gravity itself doesn't explain everything

>>4804140
Relativity doesn't give any explanation as to what dark matter is, for example. There are a few competing theories who hope to explain some of the things relativity doesn't, one of them is that Dark Matter is God.

You're one of the "idiots" the other guy was talking about who believes the option that everything he doesn't understand was put there by God, except that now we have a big bang and so God "can't have" created the Universe itself, so for you to believe in God you need to believe he is Dark Matter.

The "problem" with both you and the other guy is that you seem to feel "God" has to "make sense"
