Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

  • Other religions are fake, but my religion....

    • What's your take on Cassavetes?

    Jump

  • Wow. I'm glad you asked and look forward to people's opinions.

    I just watched Mikey and Nickey (after reading about Elaine May's role in the start of improv). The treatment of women was terrible to see but the acting was incredible.

    • Do you want to tell us something about your religion?

  • I'm an atheist, but I also pray to a vague "higher power" every morning. My sense is that the prayer helps whether I believe or not.

    • Question about ownership of the means of production

  • Oh I like the way your are thinking....

    So you labor, make something, exchange that for money and then buy the tractor. The tractor making people get your money in exchange for their tractor constructing labor. In this regard folks are just exchanging the product of their own labor.

    But if you start renting the tractor out is that the same? In some sense the tractor is a substitute for the product of your effort (you traded grain for money for tractor) so if you were to trade the tractor for, say beer, its still just a swap. But if you are renting the tractor, you get something from the renters but you still have the whole tractor back at the end. You got something from them just for having had ownership of the tractor.

  • It could be that everyone got different tools. It could be that some frittered their resources away like a grasshopper to your virtuous ant. It could be you were just lucky, a windfall inheritance.

    The actual history of primitive accumulation is a lot darker.

    But however you got that John Deere, should it entitle you to the physical labor of other people? Is that the kind of relationship you want with your neighbors?

  • To me, it sounds like you are describing a situation where because you have some money (to buy a tractor) and other people don't, you gain access to some of the human labor of your neighbors.

    • The more air conditioners in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Infinite money glitch.

  • It does and in two ways

    1. running a refrigerator with an open door in a closed room makes the room warmer not cooler. The fridge just moves heat around but there is inefficiency too that comes out as excess hear
    2. using energy to cool your personal space, increases global warming leading to a need for more air conditioning
