Fuck bill nye, he is a sellout of the highest degree. That hurts too because he used to be my hero when I was a kid. That song he endorsed about giving "strangers a handy" was really sickening, considering it was meant for literal children. "My Sex Junk" by Rachel Bloom.

Steven hawking, was a mathematical genius, lmao. I know some of you guys dont really believe in all of that. I know he, like the rest of the "greats" likely stole alot of their research, but I cant bring myself to hate a guy paralyzed in a wheel chair who can do math that only something like 1% of the population can do. Hes got my respect for that.

while only about 7% of the global population has studied calculus, a key subject for university-level math. Therefore, the proportion of the population capable of high advanced math, which goes beyond calculus, is likely much smaller, potentially in the low single digits or even less than 1%.

Shit im part of the 7% guys lol. Anyway.

Carl sagan, there is just something about what he says that resonates pretty hard. Especially his speech who speaks for planet earth.

While people like him and buckminster fuller may have worked for the elite, and even helped empower them, they did not align with their goals and had their own vision for humanity. For example both of these people viewed a world where automation would take over our lives, but we would all be allowed to pursue goals of the mind, not just goals of enriching the elite. But I think we all know at this point, it will never happen. Our leaders are much to greedy, to vain, to out of control and drunk on power to stop.

Really the only people I can find that hate carl sagan, are religious people lmao.

Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us – and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along. – Carl Sagan, The Fine Art of Baloney Detection

Lmao, I feel the same about the church.

Do I think people like NASA are telling us EVERYTHING, no they prolly arent.

Do I trust the church to tell the truth? lmao fuck no. Sorry.

If god wants to come pay me a personal visit, im opening to changing my mind though.

Also, i know my grammatical usage has been real poor lately, prolly because I dont really write anymore (certainly nothing to write about in here most days), but ive been actually trying to learn shit in my spare time and better myself. My brain feels a bit like goop, it was so much easier before the blood pressure destroyed shit. But anyways I had to ask gpt about it lmao.

It’s more common than you might think—and there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. Coding and writing human‑language sentences are both cognitively demanding activities that use overlapping but distinct skill sets. When you’re deep in a loop or chasing a bug, your brain is primed for abstract, logical thinking; when you switch to prose, the same neural circuits have to re‑orient toward nuance, rhythm, and emotional tone. The result can feel like a “mental fatigue” that makes even simple sentences seem clunky.

Yes, it’s normal for your sentences to feel rough after long coding sessions. The brain simply reorients from “logic mode” to “language mode.” By embedding short, intentional writing practices into your routine—micro‑writing, reading diverse texts, and structured exercises—you’ll keep both your code quality and prose sharp. Treat writing as another skill you train daily, just like debugging or refactoring.

Yeah, makes alot of sense. Sad I come here looking for that and most of it is just people telling other people how stupid they are for having a belief different than their own.

Kinda maddening really I see why most of the old users left.

It's a spiritual battle and you're focused on the flesh.

Jesus is God, not just a mere man.

Have you actually read Thessalonians? Or those verses about giving to the poor? Or where Jesus died for ALL, not just some??

Your position is based on loose, shaky ground. Feel free to prove me wrong tho.

Now it makes sense why people hated him so much for being agnostic.

Yes, Carl Sagan expressed views consistent with agnosticism, though he never explicitly used the term to describe himself. He found the concept of a personal, anthropomorphic God ludicrous but acknowledged that if "God" meant the physical laws of the universe, then such a "God" exists. His work and statements reflect a naturalistic worldview, where he did not find compelling evidence for a traditional deity.

k thanks
