General Discussion / Re: AmeriPol thread
« on: June 25, 2022, 09:25:33 am »This is borderline on the type of discussion which indicate we don't even have a common agreement on what the word "support" means.This isn't "support", this is use of a terrible thing in one very particular circumstance.
I think this is a particularly common logical error in modern (e.g., post-internet) discourse: over-generalization.People will take one instance of something and assume that it therefore is making a universal statement,which is often not the case.
I mean if you go that route, you might as well say that the Bible supports biosphere destruction because God flooded the earth (maybe that's why some people don't care about climate change? I wish that was sarcastic...).
Denied parts strikenthrough.
On the deluge: I think it's fair to say the bible supports god's actions, for the very least according to the bible god sure seems to be full of himself and not the self doubting kind... And evenso one could theoretically describe the inevitability of something without expressing support.
. But seriously... Why not throw everybody in there? If someone angers aranaktu he must have had his reasons, we can't go wrong with this in a way, imagine our CO2 budget if we had a volcanically caused mini ice age, surely the trees will grow fine and have absorbed all the CO2 before the skies get bright again
