i'll bee in the fantasea sextion

I grew up catholic. Like actually went to Sunday school and did my communion and all that stupid shit.
Like all good Catholics i eventually became an atheist.
I was i dunno, in my early teens, this was the peak of like the richard dawkins, bill mahr, edgy atheist 2000's.

As i grew older i decided all those people were homosexuals. I decided its possible a sort of god could be real. But there was still no doubt the books of the major religions were written by men.

I spent my early 20's exploring lots of different political and religious ideologies. The conclusions i came to are thus

1. Abrhamic religions are pure poison

2. The occult and paganism appeal to me but im lazy

3. There is no hope for change in a post cold war world and the only way we get out of this is through a nuclear bomb

4. the catholic church died the second it enacted vatican 2 and embraced liberal modernism

5. the protestants are con men and jew lovers

6. Islam is a barbaric relgion that should be wiped off the face of the planet

7. Jews are parasites that work in their on tribal self interest whether religious or not

8. the occult is about pushing your will and desire into the hivemind of humanity and using it to manipulate reality

HPMOR is excellent, I just don't want this discussion to get bogged down by talking about the author; /lit/ is incapable of talking about MOR without mentioning how problematic Yudkowsky is in any number of fields.

Also it's not like HPMOR is particularly groundbreaking. What it is is a great entry level text for the sorts of psychological and philosophical things it discusses. And we do need entry level texts.

Anyway who's everybody's favourite character? How do you feel they compare to their canon counterparts? How could they have been rendered better?

admitting that you can make mistakes and that that's ok - THAT is true magic.

How can Dennett be so infuriating yet at the same time so calming to listen to?

Exactly. The difference between any leader and any of his followers is: the leader just wants to be what he is or what he aspires to be for himself, and any follower just wants to be a copy of someone else.

I just dont think its worth years of effort just to be able to read a couple great authors in the original language, learning ancient greek/latin would probably unlock more content anyway
