  • People like to use it for AI, data science, machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, …) and even scientific stuff (SciPy, SymPy, AstroPy). So it seems to be the right tool for some jobs, which is all that matters. Your job may be something entirely different and that’s absolutely fine.

    (And no, I don’t use Python either.)



  • My God (I shall use upper case for Him from now on because that somehow makes Him seem more imposing) says all I have to do is find something in the scriptures that I can somehow reinterpret to mean exactly what I need to justify any of my arguments.

    So, I hereby declare that I can certainly do that, because it says in the holy scriptures: “At least it’s good to be on the winning side.” (Mother Goose & Grimm, April 29, 2001, Panel 4)

    Which I interpret to mean that I am right, therefore I have no further obligation to give proper reasons and any arguments against my opinion are completely invalid.




  • Wait, so you’re telling me that if I pretend to believe in an imaginary being, I can feel special?

    It sounds tempting. Can I also attack anyone personally if they question my belief as if they’ve attacked me as a person?

    And I also always really wanted to tell people that they hate god, even though they say he doesn’t even exist. I’m sure this somehow violates every law of logic in existence, but I really want to.

    Can I justify killing people for believing in the same god as me but slightly different?

    Also, well, this one is a bit odd: I have this urge to tell people who they are allowed to have sex with. If your belief allows me to do all this, I’m on board.




  • As a German it’s completely mind boggling to me that some societies tolerate an ideology that is responsible for plunging the world into its biggest humane catastrophe (so far), for the sake of free speech. Nazi ideology wants to kill free speech. If you truly want to protect free speech, you have to at least limit it to all the things that do not threaten it.
