    Atheism is an ism attached to the idea of atheos.

    All isms are idealogies attached to their leading premise. Atheism is no exception to any other word in this regard.

    It is the people’s poor understanding of language but allure to social labels that has caused the word, which is otherwise very clear, to now be seen on a spectrum. Like how people now refer to LLMs as AI, for lack of understanding the fundamentals of the terminology first.

    There are those that misunderstand it to mean a-theism instead of atheos-ism. Which is madd

    If the answer to the question “do you believe in a god or gods” is anything other than yes, you’re an atheist.

    No. We have preexisting terms for this and atheism is, at best, a distant association for its crossover similarities of that statement. You are simply describing the state of being nontheistic, no isms necessarily attached.

    There are many isms that fit into your statement by being nontheistic positions. Atheism is just one of many. However a person can be nontheistic and not adhere to any of them, since every individual is capable of rejecting any ideology. Those that don’t even know about the idea of deities aren’t even capable of aligning to theism or atheism, for example.


  • An ideology that asserts itself without knowledge is, by definition, a belief.Tbis is why, in science, we talk of theory and not belief. It acknowledges that gaps of knowledge are filled by assumption based on likelihood, but fact is never asserted until a bridge of knowledge is completely constructed.

    Dawkins refers to the theism of our species. However he knows as much of our reality as anyone else. Very, very little. But take comfort in knowing that science, at least philosophically, would pursue what is beyond a deity should one ever be known. Or none of this is real. You don’t actually know.

    Good time to point out there is a huge difference between being agnostic and agnostcism. One is a literal state of being, not specific to religion. The other is an ideology toward “deities” based around being agnostic in the topic.

    It’s just how -ic and -ism be. Most people that say they are agnostic do not follow agnosticism, even if they may share some of its very widely ranged ideas and concepts.





  • Do usual dev mode shit…

    1. You then have to confirm that you aren’t being coached/guided/instructed by a bad actor to turn off the security measures.

    2. This is followed by a device restart and re-authentication that “cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.”

    3. A required “Security wait” takes one day to “confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication (fingerprint or face unlock) or device PIN.” This is a one-time wait.

    4. Afterwards, you can install apps from unverified developers indefinitely, while there’s also a 7-day “Turn on temporarily” option.

    I don’t think the wait is necessary. If someone were to continue being scammed after a reboot, they’d continue to be scamme tomorrow. An additional education piece after the reboot would be more effective.
