GIMP doesn't mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?

1. 'I' is the thing that is thinking it
2. I don't 'believe' that my senses are real, but that it's good enough to act as though they are real, regarding the sensory world.

I am a trans person and disagree with basically everything you've said. The only reason I upvoted this post is because censorship is really a problem and you should be allowed to say this stuff even if I vehemently disagree with you - I'm not going to change your mind if you're banned or censored, or my talking down to you. If this post gets taken down, I don't mind having a discussion with you via PMs.

I can understand you fear getting your account banned if you say your opinions, however you should be aware that using inflammatory language like 'trans agenda' or 'transgenderism' will make people less happy to engage with you in good faith. I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to say that, but rather using more neutral language to discuss your opinions may result in a more productive conversation, as advice. I welcome your reply :)

1. I am thinking about whether I exist as a conscious being. Therefore there must be an 'I' to be thinking that.
2. I can't prove that my senses can be trusted with 100% certainty to tell me truth - in fact I can prove the opposite with things like optical illusions. However, when interacting with the world that I only know is real through my senses, basing my behaviour on those same senses that let me know the world exists seems reasonable to me. That's what I call practical knowledge, rather than true knowledge.

That sounds like a cool premise!

If it's impossible to censor people, you would hardly have a strong prosecution arguing you should have done something impossible.

Not a Jew, but my family's Jewish, and it's about as difficult as you'd expect. They get offended by the slightest implication that maybe Israel isn't perfect, assume I support Hamas just because I'm opposed to the IDF killing children - to clarify, I'm opposed to anyone killing children, including Hamas. We don't talk about it that much though.

He's considered a false prophet, certainly not in a place of honour. At least by orthodox Jews.

I'll mention one nobody has said yet: Kaos.

The last episode was definitely setting up a second reason that looked interesting, but then it never happened.

Moist filament leads to bubbly prints :)

I use empty cardboard boxes and shoe boxes to store my coin collection, and one to use to dry out my spools of filament.

Someone can have a fundamental belief that they shouldn't have.

Someone can also have a derivative belief from another derivative belief, without the prior belief having to be fundamental.

So glad you found a working solution! To be honest, I'm a bit surprised iOS allows terminal apps 🤣 But in a good way

Ok, now I've clarified what beliefs you think some people assume without evidence, I would still say that believing those things isn't right. You should still have a good reason for believing what you believe, and taking the existence of a conscious creator as given is invalid.

So if I'm understanding you correctly it's not just that people believe the universe was created by something, but they have a specific idea of what that thing is - eg a conscious, powerful, morally good, knowledgeable being

So can I clarify that when you're saying

Some people take the existence of god as a brute fact

That you mean

Some people assume that universe was created by something

?

The world is a terrible place.

The world is the best place it's ever been.

The world could be much better.

I don't know who has avatars as I'm on Voyager and can't see them 🤔

Ok, let's take a step backwards. How are you defining 'god'?
