Mu Zeta posted:In Starship Troopers pretty much any service will get you citizenship. Including volunteering to be a janitor or be a teacher. The government pretty much can't reject anyone from giving service, the point is that people need to step up to offer something. Though military is definitely the primary way. Yes. I see that volunteering as a janitor has made you the man you are today.

Hey whoa hey, I said I'm interested, not that I'm some kind of expert advice service. If you're getting negative feedback on your rear end-eating, that's all on you; I wash my rear end clean of it.

doverhog posted:Hell, I'll advice Jastiger about rear end eating while I'm at it: pick your spots, but if you do decide to do it, commit. Backing down because there was some flavor will really spoil the mood. This has wisdom beyond rear end-eating. But definitely for rear end-eating, too. edit: drat, woops. Baby wipes are the answer. They may not be around for when you want to spontaneously eat some rear end, but in a regular setting, having one around is useful for a lot of sex related things. Of course I only have sex with my intimate life partner, so I'm not offended when she wipes away liberally. Caufman has a new favorite as of 22:29 on Sep 8, 2017 |

If you're going to come late to any class or meeting, don't just slink in quietly like no one is noticing. Crack open a cold one and pass some around to your boys. Maybe even loudly mention how much you drank the night before. Make it something everyone can look forward to.

Yes, though I'd say critical thinking of almost anything can be a hobby. It's not just about considering the artistic merits or themes of a relatively small canon, either. You can think critically about the production of a reality tv show, too.

I think the people who embrace that Sagan quote should take it further. We are not just a part of the universe observing itself; we're also a part of the universe making choices for itself. It began with non-life, and then life appeared, and then sentient life appeared, and this is all progressing towards a final and eternal transcendent state.Blue Star posted:It is impossible to directly experience and perceive the external world as it really is. It is also impossible to completely disprove the existence of fairies, unicorns, demons, angels, cryptids, psychic phenomena, magic, deities, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, parallel universes, and many other things. So I am actually completely free to believe in these things, or entertain the possibility, however remote, that these entities and concepts are truly real. We can never be certain that these things, and things we can't conceive of, are not actually real, no matter how well we map and measure the physical universe. And it is entirely possible that the models we have formed of the physical universe are incomplete. So I can go right ahead and believe that pixies, goblins, banshees, butt probe aliens, and more are totally real and not mere fictions. And at the very least, these concepts are things which do exist in the human imagination and therefore are products of the universe in exactly the same way that galaxies, trees, atoms, black holes, fungi, bacteria, volcanoes, etc. are all products of the universe, all part of an ongoing event of change. So fairies and dragons and incubi and manticores and Medusa and Cerebus and the Laws of Sympathy and Contagion are all just as really real as elephants, cars, electromagnetism, asteroids, DNA, continental drift, and so on. All I can say about living in the Matrix is that rational decision-making will lead towards an equilibrium steady state where the choices you make would be the same whether you thought you lived in the Matrix or not, which you correctly point out is a plausible reality that we're unlikely to learn the answer to.

doverhog posted:A government licenced shaman? Post-government-licensed shaman. You are absolutely right to identify the gods of our psyche as beings that are quite real in the sense that they influence what we do. There is also the recurring search for what was called in previous age the true God, the ultimate and truest reality which exists from the beginning of everything to the end of everything. It captures the reality of all of our psyches and the reality of everything else. It's the complete and unified truth that we as everyday natural philosophers have always tried to pursue, whether it's in the study of plants or in the study of moral consequences.

It looks like a hazing to me. Target someone in the group that stands out, make them do things they wouldn't have done, laugh at their humiliation. Depending on how they do, their admiration might rise or fall. I see why hazing occurs so often, and small, unconscious forms of it might happen all the time, but it seems like a risky way of increasing any kind of confidence or trust.
