Exactly, thinking and talking about these things is perfectly alright and at 20 they are all quite new to you, so it’s very reasonable to be excited about them.
None of those things are negatives, this is just anti-intellectualism. Maybe OP has been corrected by douches in the past. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks OP is trying to normalize shaming critical thinking while finding like-minded individuals.
Or this is an attempt at even more critical thinking, i.e. “These are fine concepts, but if you don’t reckon with the context of what you’re talking about before throwing one of these out because it kinda fits you actually bring conversations down and keep people from exchanging more pertinent ideas and information.”
They probably could have communicated that better if that was their intent, but that’d probably kill any humor potential which was probably more of a priority here.
Fair enough, just to be clear this was just my own initial reaction to this meme and I have not done any investigation into whether OP is an asshat or not, and this is the sort of thing an asshat-y person could say
Yeah I’ve noticed an uptick in atheists on lemmy recently, I don’t support religon at all because of dogma but I also will never support atheism either
No I’m saying that athiests also typically post these kinds of memes typically the athiest Community on reddit and the side of the athiest Community that attacks, mocks argues in bad faith and enact online witch-hunts
And just to make it clear I’m not athiest and I do not support religons
The athiest Community particularly on reddit liked to frame things negatively and mock and attack people through generalisations
This image shares that and that’s what I noticed and decided to make my comment on that
I probably should have mentioned in my previous comment that I noticed the similarities
These topics mentioned in the image have no reason to be framed in a negative light because they are not inherently negative
Anyone can use them for any intention, good or bad
And some of them can be used in discussion about scientific topics
I’ve noticed that athiests claim they support science but they still mock and attack anyone using science to constructively criticise them or scientific claims they support
Science needs to have criticism, praise and discussion from all sides, not just one
I’d rather deal with people who had a cursory understanding or passing familiarity of these things, in spite of some annoyance. Than deal with the proudly ignorant.
the brain develops in a chronologically similar fashion among members of the same species. even more so when exposed to similar cultural stimuli. that is correct.
Just a friendly reminder:
The Stanford Prison Experiment was not an experiment. There was no control group, there wasn’t even proper procedures set up. It was just some professor off his rocker that had a dumb idea, made shit up as he went along, forced the outcome, then publicized the results. People always compare it to Milgram. This idiot can’t hold a candle to Milgram.
Pretty much, my thoughts too since the alternative is them regurgitating whatever opinion they happen to agree with. It’s impossible to have a meaningful conversation if the other person can’t even turn their brain on past repeating what their preacher/pundit/candidate told them.

I don’t see anything wrong with any of it. Why is thinking or speaking of any of those things being framed as a negative?

How dare young people not appreciate the intricacies and nuance of the world? Harrumph! I say.

You must be fun at parties. Maybe it’s just self-deprecating humour?
I mean, I don’t talk propaganda at parties, do you?

I think you’re being extremely generous to OP.

What does any of that have to do with atheism?
He’s stereotyping atheists as the kind of people to act the way the character in the meme does.

So you’re an atheist, right?
No I’m not
Which god do you believe in?
“Think different.”
“YES! WE ALL THINK DIFFERENT!”
In unison, of course, like Life Of Brian.
Bonus points for bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.
“I don’t…”
You forgot “logic” and “mushrooms” 🙄
That’s Broden, Mark, and Zach from Auntie Donna
You filled up on cheese, haven’t you?
Frankly, I think the Milgram Shock Experiment is more elucidating as to… hey, wait a minute.
They triggered you like a dog with a bell, eh?
@VirginChad Nae true Scotsman is missing.
Could just put “logical fallacies” in there and call it a day. “Cognitive biases” too.
please stop sharing my photo online >:(

Damn I got called out
I‘m in this picture and I don’t like it…
the brain develops in a chronologically similar fashion among members of the same species. even more so when exposed to similar cultural stimuli. that is correct.
And I thought I was a real intellectual in my days… That’s exactly what I pested my teachers and fellow students with. In the '90s, though.
Sounds like you were! School is exactly when a person ought to learn this stuff.

It’s an experiment in the way that Love is Blind is an experiment. They think if they just use the right words often enough it can become one.
Lol great analogy
basically a casestudy example on how NOT to conduct a study
Sex raft go brrr
People in this thread take themselves wya too seriously
At least they “think” in contrast to the majority of working bots and angry Twitter idiots. I’d rather deal with a person who tries to have a concept.
