@SMohsinWaheed Except Hormuz is still there, I is still for India, and why would India or Brazil ever want to adopt the yuan as their currency? (Note: China doesn’t currently allow enough yuan to leave its territory for any but a tiny country to adopt the yuan.)

@z8000783 @nestroydiggers1 @darwintojesus The meaning of “right” and “wrong” aren’t anymore subjective or objective than the meanings of other words. WHAT is right and wrong is a subjective determination. It literally can’t possibly be otherwise.

If there is no such thing as objective morality, then the meaning of right and wrong will be subjective. I can quite legitimately say that rape is wrong and that will still mean something under subjectivism unless you can demonstrate otherwise. Which, BTW, you still have not done. There is nothing incorrect about that.

@Reaver749735 @_Ochiedike Neither you nor I nor anyone else has any clue about the viability of potential universe outcomes. Maybe they’re all equally viable. Maybe one outcome was inevitable. The point remains: Only after falsely assuming a specific outcome can you argue for a fine-tuned universe.

@OpenlyReasoned @_Ochiedike Your logic is flawed because you treat all outcomes as equally viable. But physics suggests most values give no atoms, stars, or stable structure at all. That’s not “a different winner”; it’s no winners. Your lottery analogy fails because a lottery guarantees one.

No one in their right mind would believe the story of Noah's Ark. Did carnivorous animals suddenly become vegetarians?

@Reaver749735 @_Ochiedike This is simply not true! Change the Cosmological Constant by 10~20~100% and you’d still have stars. Decrease it by 1,000,000% structure would be way longer lasting, not shorter. Multiple, massive changes would be required to not have atoms.

@OpenlyReasoned @_Ochiedike That claim assumes any outcome was equally viable. But physics suggests most possibilities don’t yield any lasting structure at all, no stars, atoms, or observers. It’s not just “different,” it’s nothing stable exists. That’s why the specific life-permitting range stands out.

@DevolutionBegin @Lilith_Atheist 2/ Likewise, you can have a “relationship” with a person or a group👇or, I’d say, any sentient being that can independently react to you. Eg you can have a relationship with your dog. But you can’t have a relationship with creativity. You can, however, be creative.

@DevolutionBegin @Lilith_Atheist 1/ Perhaps this just comes down to how we are using words. With respect, I think I’m using them closer to both the dictionary definition and colloquial usage. Eg “Worship” is showing reverence specifically to a divine being or supernatural power. It isn’t meditating on love👇

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike Your 2nd point is you continuing to argue with your straw man and not with my actual claim 👇 I’m not arguing causation!!! How many times do I have to tell you that? I’m not saying the future is known because knowledge dictates it. I’m not saying the future is known at all.
Openly Reasoned@OpenlyReasoned

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike 1️⃣ The existence of infallible foreknowledge (by God or anyone else!) over a choice you haven’t made yet. 2️⃣ The existence — in reality, not in illusion — of your free will over that choice. I’m saying 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ can’t logically exist simultaneously! That’s it. That’s my claim.

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike To the first point: I said “future choices” and have said many times that it SEEMS like we have free will. “Seems” being the operative word. But if what SEEM like choices are inevitable events, then those choices are illusions.

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike Knowledge doesn’t shape reality. I never once agued it did. I’ve explained multiple times why 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ can’t both simultaneously be true, literally including in the tweet you are replying to. Your answer is right here! 👇
Openly Reasoned@OpenlyReasoned

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike The existence of infallible foreknowledge means your future choices are inevitable. If your future choices are inevitable before they are made by your will, then your choices could not possibly be made by your will. Thus, free will wouldn’t exist.

@OpenlyReasoned @_Ochiedike No, you at one point even concede that someone knowing what you will do does not interfere with the process of making a choice. You even acknowledge that knowledge does not shape reality; reality shapes knowledge. So how can they intersect?

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike I’ve explained this to you over and over. And every time I have, you ignore it. And then falsely claim I offer no explanation. Want to move this discussion forward. Then please tell me what you find wrong with this basic, logical, explanation👇

@cristia90677654 @_Ochiedike The statements don’t interfere with each other, beyond the fact that they can’t both be simultaneously true (for the reason you gave). Similarly, 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ (👇) don’t interfere with each other, beyond the fact that they can’t both be simultaneously true (for the reason I gave)

@OpenlyReasoned @_Ochiedike And I explained to you why this explanation is not like the other. Biological birth can only occur once. No matter when he was born, once he is born, he cannot be born again because of the definition of birth. The statements interfere with each other. (1/2)

@davidwill62 @JeffreyLuscombe Joining BRICS wouldn’t mean abandoning the petrodollar. Joining BRICS wouldn’t mean anything, really. It’s a talking club, not a treaty organization or alliance or common market.

@JeffreyLuscombe So, you want Canada to join BRICS? Thus abandoning the “Petroleum Dollar”? PMMC is further weakening our Fiat currency with his TRILLION$$$$$’s debt.
