    Their censorship and control make the product worse, but possibly increase cash flow.

  9. Re:Not just analytic... on Analytic Thinking Can Decrease Religious Belief · · Score: 1

    Stop being obtuse. You can't just say "Universe=God" and expect anyone to consider that a meaningful concept. You claimed the universe was sentient. That's a damn good place for you to start producing some evidence.

  10. Re:Not just analytic... on Analytic Thinking Can Decrease Religious Belief · · Score: 1

    But to sit there and know how complex the Universe is and to proclaim there is no way the Universe isn't alive and Sentient isn't following 'Occam's razor', it's the opposite. The simple, and logical conclusion, is that larger lifeforms follow the same pattern of smaller lifeforms and together create something greater than the sum of their parts.

    Did you have some experiment in mind to test your "universe is sentient" hypothesis? Here's something else to consider: some things are just the sum of their parts.

    So much of our culture is based on or related to copyrighted materials. To keep in touch with culture, and to keep in touch with current pop-culture, and thus be able to easily relate to the common people you'll encounter day to day, it is important to be have access to and be exposed to copyrighted materials.

    Thanks for reminding me again why I don't want to consume their content.

    Still not its own "department". Maybe school quality factors into this more than whether the departments are merged.
