I don't use he/him. Stop misgendering me.

Isn't Daggerfall procedurally generated?

No, that's not true. One of the key signs of a cult is that it doesn't have many members. One of the key signs of an abusive religion is that it cuts the victim of from their support structure, whether that religion be a cult or a larger religion. You seem to be talking as though the word cult meant abusive religion. I can assure you that though many religions are abusive, an equal proportion are both small and large, cult and non cult. Most victims of religious abuse are not in cults, because most religious people are not in cults. When you mix up cults with abusive religions, it becomes hard to tell the difference between the two, and you make it harder for people to see the abuses committed by larger religions.

I know lots of people don't know it's a slur. That's why I made this post and included an explanation of how and why it's a slur. I don't know what your complaint is. I was very aware of what you're saying and took action on it. Is your argument that I shouldn't have told people it was a slur? Are you opposed to the concept of education? Or are you just arguing because you like to be contrary?

You mean at once? Heroin and cocaine. Over a lifetime? Good health, useful work, kind deeds, meaningful relationships, safety, self-determination, knowledge, and fun.

It's really hard to actually accept that as a capitalist's opinion. Liberals tend to say all kinds of nice things, and then turn around and pass policies that completely contradict that. Like, y'all say I deserve to live and then you don't implement a UBI. It's like you're lying to yourselves that you're actually nice people.

Projection.

Faith (from the religious understanding) is for that which can't be proven,

Why would I accept a religious definition of faith? I'm a scientist, and I use a scientific definition of faith. I categorically reject your attempts to force religious understanding of faith on me.

I'm a degree holding scientist, and I think in drug trials it's absolutely essential that you make the subjects feel faith that your control treatment will heal them. Faith, of course, defined as a belief held without evidence. If you fail to make the control group feel faith, then you're not actually controlling against faith and you cannot predict the effectiveness of your drug in comparison with a placebo. You need to control for faith just like you control for any other physical quality that can act as a variable.

Religion by definition requires faith, and if you're using faith specifically for your scientific endeavors, you're doing science wrong.

That's categorically untrue. Science has conclusively demonstrated the existence of the placebo effect, which is powered by faith. People believe they will get better, even when evidence does not exist, even when they know they're in an experiment with a control group, and they get better. That's faith. Faith is such a huge factor that any pharmaceutical trial must control for it with a placebo control group. Scientists spend a great deal of time and money determining which medicines work because of faith, and which ones work because of chemistry.

The effects of faith upon our reality are scientifically quantifiable, predictable, and controllable. Faith is a tool in the scientist's toolbelt, just like instruments, drugs, computers, or anything else. Psychonautics can essentially be viewed as the science of faith, and other such reality-altering mental constructs.

Psychonautics has existed as a known research field longer than the internet has been around, and there's a strong argument to make that it's fundamental, just like physics or math. Ancient Tibetan monks were doing psychonautics, and they laid the groundwork for modern parogenetic techniques.

Monopolistic means there are no other options. That's the definition of monopoly. She needs apple products because they're a monopoly. The refutal is in the words you used.
