If one were to take a step back and take an objective look at the world, what they would see is far more in line with the worldview of Greek mythology than with any Abrahamic religion.

In Greek mythology there are multiple gods that serve multiple purposes and are often at odds with one another. Given the chaos of the world existing simultaneously with beauty, love, and other good things, this makes sense.

Abrahamic religions like Christianity believe in one God that is supposedly all loving and all powerful. Given a quick glance at the world this clearly does not make any sense (consider the existence of child cancer, natural disasters, animal suffering, etc.).

For that reason, I fully believe Greek mythology is more plausible than Christianity.

If seeing something on the internet elicits a negative emotion within you, or you're prone to arguments online, you honestly shouldn't have internet access.

The internet should be a civil place of exchanging ideas, writing excel sheets, and other important things.

If you've ever felt the need to insult someone online or get into arguments you lack any kind of emotional maturity and you're probably not mentally stable enough to be around any large group of people.

Alcohol has no place in society and it needs to be fully banned worldwide.

There are ONLY negative consequences and no positive outcomes associated with alcohol.

People die from it in plenty of ways

-intoxication

-drunk driving

-bad decisions

etc. etc. etc.

It needs to be banned for the betterment of society.

People can learn to deal with it and stop relying on it to have a good time. Anyone who needs alcohol to have fun is a complete swine who shouldn't be trusted to venture outside of their own house.

It is my belief that teaching history does more harm than good.

All it does is keep our mindset stuck in the past, unable to ever move forward. It paints certain groups as evil, and others as subjugated. It is not good to instill this into children's minds. It is unfair to bestow people with the burden of humanity's cruelty from the past couple thousands of years.

I don't know if any of you have read The Giver (1993) but I think the world needs to be set up this way. Erase the past, make everyone equal, and start over from a fresh slate.

I could become the king of the planet and introduce all of the needed ideas to sustain society from this point forward and I'd lead humanity into uncharted territory.

Long hair is easily one of the worst physical characteristics to purposefully possess, and I think both men and women would be better off with short hair.

Humans are primates. No other primate has long hair. Because of this, humans stand out as being extremely uncanny. The only other animal with hair like us is horses and some breeds of dog.

Long hair just doesn't fit with the rest of how we're physically built/present.

Beyond aesthetic preferences, it's also really disgusting when you think about it. Long hair literally grows out of your head for months and months. All of the length you see was literally inside that persons skull before it grew out. Very few people also know what it takes to maintain healthy long hair, so it just ends up looking greasy and ridiculous.

Nobody should have long hair.

School starts way too late and ends way too late in people's lives.

To optimize for the highest quality workers, we should start school earlier. By the age of 3, most people can speak and grasp basic concepts. It's at this point that kids can be taught how to count and how to use programs like Excel.

School is mostly a waste of time, so by optimizing it and teaching only what's necessary (math and science) we can speed the process up and people can graduate at age 12 and begin to enter the work force.

So much time and money could be saved this way.

I think nobody should wear deodorant, especially women.

A person's natural body smell communicates a lot of valuable information about them such as their diet, health, lifestyle, etc.

By using deodorant it gets rid of all of these indicators. In my view, it's a form of catfish and should be socially frowned upon and discouraged.

In general, I find it inappropriate and trashy to announce any kind of pregnancy, or even that you're trying to have a child.

Basically, you're saying "I was just cummed in recently". Like, that is honestly disgusting and nobody needs to know that. People should keep things like this to themselves.

People should avoid insinuating anything like this for as long as possible, which would have to be the day of the birth. This has the added benefit of making the baby an even bigger/more special surprise.

Calling or insinuating someone is gay seems to be a very common insult used against men. A good portion of the people that use this insult are indeed red-pilled homophobic men, however a good chunk of it is also women and other people who call themselves progressive and are on the left.

This is completely paradoxical and goes against what it means to be progressive. By using gay as an insult, you're engaging in homophobia no matter the context.

(Disclaimer: Obviously there is still racism in the United States and that's horrible, but comparatively, we are the least racist place on the planet.)

I find it ridiculous when people from other parts of the world try to paint the USA as the most racist place ever.

Europe and Asia for example, are MUCH, MUCH, more racist than the US. The US is a melting pot and most people here have lived amongst different races their whole lives. A lot of people here have friends and even family of different races because of how mixed we are.

Europe and Asia are much more homogenous and as a result, they almost never see people of other races which leads to their racism being more rampant and based in ignorance. In Europe, black athletes have had bananas thrown at them for example. In Asia, black people are often gawked at or called the N word randomly. That kind of stuff just doesn't happen in the US, at least not to the same degree.

Missionary, riding, etc. are all useless sex positions that don't really do anything.

The only sex positions that are worth it are those that involves butt cheeks clapping against you (doggystyle, prone, spooning, etc.) Even though there's nothing mechanically about this distinction that produces more pleasure, it's hot and adds to the overall act.

I think people need to realize that sex is only good when there's a cheek-clapping component to it. I can't stand missionary and I think it's the worst sex position to both watch and participate in.

Like bruh, I'm not tryna see your face turn around 😂

For the most part, dancing is stupid looking.

Very few dance moves look cool or impressive and most of it reminds me of those birds that do the goofy looking mating rituals. It just screams, "Hey! Look at me! I'm moving around like an animal to attract a mate!". Like, wtf are you doing bro.

I think dancing is one of the lowest "art forms" and that people who dance cannot be taken seriously for the most part. There are few examples like Michael Jackson and others who can make dancing look cool through their mastery of it and the various illusions they incorporate in their dancing, but people this skilled are few and far between. People in the club or at parties who dance just look like sloppy ape-like clowns. I think it's great that people enjoy themselves doing it, but visually it just looks stupid.

I can appreciate women dancing because a lot of the time it's really attractive but beyond that it's pretty useless.

To preface this, I'm asking this as a result of seeing cishet people talk about "feeling manly" or "feeling feminine". This concept doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm a cishet male and I've never "felt" like a male for as long as I've lived and I don't really know what this means. Things like my gender and race have always been relatively inconsequential to my sense of identity and I almost never think about it. I still view myself as a man, but there's nothing about me that "feels" like I'm a man. The closest experiences I could say make me "feel like a man" would be peeing standing up or having sex with a woman.

I'm kind of confused with this topic and I'd like to know what people think.

I've been single for about two years now and have never made an attempt to date in my life and one of the main reasons is because I don't feel I have anything material to offer a woman. I still desire a connection and a relationship, but money-wise, I don't have much.

Because of this, in my head I've kind of segregated myself from the concept of dating entirely as something that is off the table for me. Am I right to do this or is it okay to date if you're broke and don't have much?

I'm 22 if that matters.
