Re: Bigger Fuse
Lef brain/right brain is bullshit.
Debunking the Left-Brain/Right-Brain Myth | Science of Learning.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Bigger Fuse
Interesting. I had the two sides mixed up anyway. Left=logical while Right =empathetic and creative. Your source seems to suggest that normal people use both sides and there is no division. The early research was done on people with a disconnect between the two sides.

First off, I am not anti-vax. Secondly and specifically, the Covid-19 vaccine does zero to stop the spread and may even encourage stronger strains to evolve. Pfizer admits it also, so don't try to deny it.
I had a severe reaction to my 1st shot that I voluntarily took. The politics surrounding what happened to me goes beyond science and makes it crystal clear to me that science has become people's god, and that the corruption behind the vaccine is the largest lie ever perpetrated on the earth.
So yea, what do we do about all the misinformation?

No, in another conversation with it I tried to figure out where it gets it's information from. It considers CNN and valuable resource and Fox to be biased. You would be proud.

Re: Defund The Bots
Hey Phat! Still here lol?
Yes I am Mod-it RC. I am having a conversation with chat gtp, and artificial intelligence language program. I just went with the answers. I was shocked when it gave the answer about taking drugs as I didn't prompt it to, but was going there eventually.

You can't hope to even begin a critical thinking course unless you're prepared to accept that you might be wrong about previously held beliefs and preconceived ideas. (This has nothing to do with your faith.)
Yet again, you didn't answer my previous question - why your religious friends would think you mad to do this course?

I made a little joke and you respond with a rant. Any the joke wasn't evn directed at you.
Of course YOU are also skeptical. When you come to an intersection, you don't take it on faith that there will be no other cars. You skeptically look both ways.
Phat writes:

I kept THE message because it's a HUMAN message; it's OUR message, not "theirs". We don't need ANY deities to accept the message, let alone decide that one particular deity is right and all of the others are wrong.
