I have a question: why is google still number one? everyone know that the search results are bad


Inertia. It's the default on most browsers. Most people don't really think about it. "To Google" has become a verb, that's how entrenched it is.


it's a level of honesty that we are not used to it


exactly, free and opensource is amazing, but the developer should also earn money to live, maybe add donations, or maybe add some web3 features


We all came from Adam and Eve, Allah(God) created everything. some people are believing theories made by a handful of "scientists" and became facts all of a sudden.


There's no need to believe anything in science. In fact, the default position should be disbelief. There are experiments and explanations. Some explanations keep working after many experiments. Many do not. Those explanations that survive many attempts at disproof become accepted. It doesn't happen "all of a sudden."

The claim that the Bible explains creation does not stand up too well to experiment in this regard.


You need to believe /some/ things in science. It’s just some things go away if you don’t believe in them and some don’t.


"Those explanations that survive many attempts at disproof become accepted"

How can you experiment human origin?


Generate synthetic data according to a model and see if your technique rediscovers the model or not.


Well, who do you suppose created Allah, then? Hint: It's the same god that was created by the exiled Jews who were later invited back to their lands by Cyrus. And this Allah you're referring to is the same deity that hebrews, christians and muslims are all viewing from different angles.

And this single god is the consolidated version of all the deities that had come before then and understandably it's a deity that loves violence and has little to no mercy to those who oppose it. You wouldn't expect people who were oppressed for centuries to create a god that has never-ending love for all humans.

God is an extension of human consciousness that replaces conscience. It's a way to easily delegate responsibilities and defer wrongdoings. It's there so you can contain compartmentalized conflicting thoughts in your head so you don't go insane. You have your god because you can't tell right from wrong. It's like a tick that's attached to your skull and feeds off of your thoughts. Obviously like with any other tick, it's hard to rid of it.


Surely the same can be said about religions.

People start believing stories made by <prophet/whomever> and they become facts all of a sudden.


You can have faith in your religion without disregarding science. Who's to say creationism wasn't lost in translation to begin at the Big Bang and end at human consciousness through evolution?

I don't believe in that stuff. But it's a much more cohesive story than believing in an actual Adam and Eve with people living hundreds of years old.

If it happened, science may eventually prove it. Since you believe it to be fact, you should instead, push to dig deeper.


you can't pay humanity out of poverty, but you can help humans out of poverty. don't look at it as a global problem, it's an individual problem. so the thousands of dollars that went to stupid monkeys, if you take just 1% and give it to someone that values it is much much better


Couldn't agree more. they all think that they are investing the thousands of dollars that went to the NFTs, I think if a stupid monkey drawing became extremely expensive in a little time, it will become worthless in less time.


This is amazing!


"I want to explore new things, read more, and learn more about things I don't know. Not just pontificate about things I think I do. Perhaps even get out of my comfort zone."

This is me, couldn't put it better.

Thanks
