China leads the world in solar power, producing 64% of global utility-scale solar and wind energy. Its massive manufacturing capacity, one terawatt of solar panels annually, has driven costs down to record lows, making solar the cheapest energy source. This boom is transforming global energy markets and posing a major challenge to fossil fuels.

Yes it is.

But it’s the neurotype, the Allistic asks questions that demand fictional answers, Why are we here, Who made us? There’s no true answer for that shit. People make religions, not the other way around. Allistic atheists are better about God, but no better about people. 😠💜
in reply to Goiterzan/Amygdalai Lama

Polytheistic religions have their own problems, but I think monotheisms take it to a whole other level and *that's* what causes people to be anti-theist. They rely heavily on the argument from authority fallacy. "I'm not telling you this, *God* is telling you this." There is only one truth and it's the one I'm telling you. Polytheism has much less of that (by necessity, there are multiple gods, so you get to choose from more than one authority).
in reply to StarkRG

What really rubs me the wrong way about monotheism, though, is the premise that there could be an omnipotent and omniscient entity that was also omni-benevolent. If they they know everything, and can do anything, then by what possible benevolence do they not? In polytheisms, gods usually aren't omnipotent or omniscient, which means it's entirely reasonable for them to be benevolent but still not be able to act. Entities that are not benevolent do not deserve veneration.

yeah, now I’m trying to appeal
to the same god who put me in trouble 😀😇

Make up your own god and appeal to them instead, they're more likely to listen.

Yes. I think the first monotheism, the goddess was everyone’s god, and this male one is just the Allistics’ god. I’m not sure where polytheism belongs in history,
seems like maybe after the goddess and before this one, like the many minor gods were transitional - the goddess became Ishtar, and Persephone, like that, just one of many after being the One, and then all those goddesses suffered downgrades while some tournament played out among the male ones?
.
Or maybe there were just always lots of minor deities, before and after. Maybe some
of both. 💜

No, polytheism would have been first. At the very least the Sun and the Moon, but probably also weather, rivers, forests, fear, feasts, etc. They're anthropomorphisms of aspects of the complex system that is the world in which humans live. Nobody was claiming to know for sure what they were saying, but there were definitely patterns there if you paid attention.
in reply to StarkRG

Human consciousness seems to have been evolved especially to be good at interpreting patterns in human behaviour (yes, even autistics, if anything, we're a further adaptation of that basic start). Thus when we started trying to interpret patterns in nature, we interpreted them *as* human-like behaviour.

Autistics are forever. Allistics and their warrior gods are new, since the ice. That’s the version I’m going with. Our pattern solving isn’t new and strange, their constant war is. Less than ten thousand years and they’ve trashed the place.
in reply to Goiterzan/Amygdalai Lama

I agree that neurology spectrums existed from before we were humans (and I'm counting all hominid species, not just Homo Sapiens), but our sapience, our consciousness, our ability for meta-cognition (thinking about thinking), came about as an evolutionary pressure for social cohesiveness. The neurological traits that would develop into autism were already there, but what I mean is that we use that developed consciousness slightly differently. [...]
in reply to StarkRG

We may be slow at using it for social purposes, but it's like everyone was given the tool (conscious thought) that people were using to groom each other, and we were like "while you guys were over there doing that, I smashed some rocks together and they broke apart, then I cut myself on one of the chips and realised I could put it on the end of a stick and poke things with it to make them dead, here have some bacon."

I’ll allow that - but not on the normal folks’ timeline. It may have begun that way but not since the Ice age. We had plenty of time to work up to monotheism before that, three hundred thousand years, and the Neolithic world had goddess statues everywhere. The normal
narrative is like the wold began when the bible says it did, they are stuck on a very short version of the history of the world. They didn’t invent monotheism.
in reply to Goiterzan/Amygdalai Lama

I don't think you're correct about "not since the ice age" or that monotheism is the obvious direction that religions develop towards. Somewhere around half of all religious people are monotheists, with atheists making up less than 10%, that's still a significant portion of the world being polythesits. I don't doubt that monotheism would have been created early on, probably by tribal leaders using the aforementioned argument from authority, but that wouldn't have spread far.

I don’t think those were my points. I’m not theorizing about the Neolithic goddess monotheism, that’s from #ChaliceAndTheBlade , and there’s sort of a whole school around the pre-fortress world of the Neolithic. I didn’t say it was the original religion, but I didn’t say it wasn’t, I just said it was monotheistic and predates Greece and Egypt and Yahweh
in reply to Goiterzan/Amygdalai Lama

That's mostly just the European region, though, and even then, most of Europe was polytheistic until Christianity started spreading in the first half-century AD. Even then, there were considerable polytheistic religions until Christians started killing them for not being Christians (or not being the *right* Christians).

Christianity is a fairly *recent* development, only roughly the last 2,000 years of humans' 6 million. Judaism a bit longer than that, something like 10,000.

Every morning at 9 AM, #Ukraine pauses.

Will you join us in a minute of silence to honour the fallen heroes who gave everything for freedom?

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Stand with Ukraine.🕯️

in reply to Eugene McParland 🇺🇦

I take at least a moment every day to consider the end of the despot responsible for every life cut short and to acknowledge the heroism and suffering of the innocent Ukrainians.

Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Death to despots.

Beck has a new record. It comprises seven cover songs and one original. I’m really enjoying it. Especially “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” It’s like a whole new song.

"What's been happening in Minneapolis has been so egregious and awful and so destructive to our community,"
shop owner Gilah Mashaal said of federal agents' use of aggressive tactics.
It was obvious to her and Neary how the shop would protest.
They pulled out their knitting needles and got to work.
Neary created the pattern that has now become the well-known
"Melt the ICE" hat,
a red beanie-shaped cap topped with a braided tassel.
Since making the pattern availablefor $5,
the shop has raised nearly $400,000, Mashaal said Friday.
So far, she said, they have donated a total of $250,000 to two local nonprofits focused on housing support for immigrants in the community
— STEP (St. Louis Park Emergency Program) and the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.
The red hat has become a movement in the crafting community, popping up on social media and reaching other countries.
