the utility is you gain a coherent worldview that can account for all those metaphysical categories (causality, morality, laws of logic, regularity of nature, other-minds, etc) and much more. the utility is you will change how you live your life for the better, if you take the belief seriously and grow as a person you will start asking better questions: "what is right/true/just" instead of "what can I utilize?"
Coherence, understanding, spiritual/personal growth.

An atheist worldview were everything is decaying and death is oblivion is meaningless and incoherent. It can't account for those immaterial/transcendent categories, it can't account for the laws of logic for the self/will/consciousness for morality or causality, etc....it can't say why we should be honest and rational instead of dishonest and deceptive. It lacks meaning and purpose. Why care about utility instead of happiness or eugenics or some other idol? Why trust your own thoughts? If you are just the product of evolution and random particles colliding together in a meaningless space you have no guarantee that your thoughts are truthful instead of just prudent illusions for the sake of reproduction....etc

Shocking.

Would suggest Walden or Thoreaus Diary.
Make feel nice everytime I read them.

of all languages I have decided to learn french. Mostly I want it for understanding films, godard, truffant, etc, and reading books, houellebecq, proust, baudrillard etc.

Any advice on how you learned to read and understand french? Online programs? children's books? dvd tutorials from the library?

I remember before highschool i spent a lot of time conjugating verbs in school. It felt boring and useless tho :/

I find it fascinating that so many people have such a fragile concept of their masculinity that they must feel the constant need to remind themselves that they are "in control".

I honestly think that the western perception of gender roles is so backward and out of date that its holding everyone back.
