Theism is not inherently right wing. I am agnostic, and consider myself fairly right wing

And in the case of jesus, we have literally zero independent verification.

That’s rather dismissive.
I don’t mean it that way.
Are you saying that the notion that wealth disparity is bad is just some guy’s opinion,
This is true yes, but back to the original topic
or that you’re not supposed to be able to get rich being a movie star (or a private equity investor, or a hedge fund manager, or a California gold miner)?
This yes. I am saying nobody has any authority to assert what is or isn’t supposed to be highly paid, but it is fair to believe nobody should be highly paid.
Usually when people are vague and terse, I assume they’re losing interest in the conversation. It’s okay to walk away.
I really do genuinely appreciate the consideration, I’m fine right now, but thank you regardless!
Imo, religion having any correlation with being a bit more right wing is a historical coincidence, right wing economics was in the 18th and 19th century often tied to less religious people.
I mean, feel free to check my own comments if you want
Its who I thought of, because its (at least for Friedman, not Ayn Rand) who I align with more(somewhat) on the right. I am an agnostic and pretty right-wing(by my own definition)
Or maybe it’s just who I thought of? I think it’s fair to even say Trump is effectively agnostic even if he wouldn’t admit it
But, tbh, that’s just some guys opinion
That sounds like a joke from the doctor that the patient missed
Movie star isn’t supposed to be a dream job that makes you fabulously rich, but a decent living.
I mean, supposed to according to who?
From Wikipedia on Vincent Van Gogh: Van Gogh’s work began to attract critical artistic attention in the last year of his life. After his death, Van Gogh’s art and life story captured public imagination as an emblem of misunderstood genius
I don’t really understand how this follows from what I said.
For every $1 spent on the moonshots, we got $14. Feel free to look for other investments, but big science really has proven itself.
Do you have a source for that? (And what that claim actually means), afterall, plenty of “essential” inventions in the modern day(including the base of modern rocketry) came from weapons development- does that make war a good investment? (Of course its not 1-to-1 because war is destructive, but my point is putting a lot of effort and smart people into almost anything will lead to a lot of innovation)
this seems to say 27% of non-religious people lean republican Not exactly as rare as albinos
The service they provide (from a perspective external to obligatory capitalism) is less about making them, but providing a framework by which people engaged in artistic expression and development get paid and permitted to survive.
If it is art that other people value then that framework already existed(and there are many others who created similar tools for it) so I don’t see it as particularly valuable.
Contrast the space program, which is why memory foam (the material) is in the public domain, as is a fuckton of electronics and computer technologies.
There is a compelling argument that tens of billions of dollars being used productively to research anything would have at least some useful results. Memory foam, cordless drills, etc could have been developed much more cheaply than the Apollo program, GPS is extremely valuable, but Apollo wasn’t a necessary precursor to geostationary orbit.
You claimed being right wing was limited to something unrelated to it. 2 responses because I didn’t know if one was uploaded because of crappy internet. But sure continue to believe a conspiracy about everyone who disagrees with you.

I disagree, even mass serial killers should be tolerated, they shouldn’t be executed. Even the people I most strongly disagree are still human.
Also, how is Rittenhouse racist?

Why? If it was a popular myth, why assume he wouldn’t try to confirm/deny it
So? I’m not presenting evidence for him being a Messiah. I am saying there is some independent evidence of him existing.
I agree that is bizarre, but not proof of it being fake. Though should be taken with a grain of salt.
Who is Bart Ehrman and why relay his beliefs rather than speak for yourself?
