together with @ccl who spoke about the fascinating history of DIY internet canle networks in Romania, we were part of the LAN: Local Nodes for Another NET exhibition in Cluj, #Romania

Playful puzzles make some sense

@taco_shale032@lemmy.ml @jonathan@piefed.social provide us proof for your maga tactics, don't just shout fake news
My apologies, this is what I gathered from other users in combination with Pixelfed (or loops?) allowing LLM contributions at some point. I should’ve done some research to confirm before assuming it was true.

If you think Mao is a centrist, everyone to the right of Mao will look right wing.
I didn’t say shit about Mao.
Considering you think women and minorities ruined the internet, I can safely ignore your opinion here as well.
@usul le tricot c’est la vie.
@futurebird having also grown up fundamentalist, there is a lot of "filed the spiritual serial numbers off and put in something more sciency-sounding, but didn't change the underlying philosophical approach" around the EA crowd (Roko's Basilisk is literally just Pascal's Wager with robots). The New Atheists a couple decades ago were doing the same schtick.
Personally, I don't think you've actually left fundamentalism until you're more concerned with being kind than being right, but that's a harder shift than (even dramatically) changing what your definition of "right" is.

@futurebird For some things like this, I prefer the term "belief system", although I've had to explain that to a few people. In fact, the need to explain the term to religious people I grew up with emphasizes why the term is necessary.
Different people use the word "religion" in different ways, and it can carry a lot of baggage/assumptions about epistemology and how people derive their morals. People from a religious background prefer to see atheism and agnosticism as just "other religions", and not necessarily out of malice - it's a familiar framework, and when all you have is a hammer, etc. But it leads to misunderstandings like "who tells you what to believe?" and "who tells you what's morally right?" Excellent questions to ask in good faith, not so much if your pastor told you the answer to both is Satan.
So, many non-theistic people like myself prefer an umbrella term that doesn't have the same connotations of coerced belief.
Not every coerced belief is a part of a religious tradition. Not every religious practice is coerced (or more coerced than other things that people do)
Religions can and often do lead to coercion. But I worry that holding those ideas to be too identical and lead to a failure to recognize other brutal forms of social control.
