Optimism Bias - iluzia ca totul va fi bine

noreply@blogger.com (Dumnezero Nimiculescu) — Sun, 19 May 2013 10:05:00 +0000

TedEd: Are we born to be optimistic, rather than realistic? Tali Sharot shares new research that suggests our brains are wired to look on the bright side -- and how that can be both dangerous and beneficial.

Wiki:

The optimism bias (also known as unrealistic or comparative optimism) is a bias that causes a person to believe that they are less at risk of experiencing a negative event compared to others. There are four factors that cause a person to be optimistically biased: their desired end state, their cognitive mechanisms, the information they have about themselves versus others, and overall mood.[1] The optimistic bias is seen in a number of situations. For example: people believing that they are less at risk of being a crime victim,[2] smokers believing that they are less likely to contract lung cancer or disease than other smokers, first-time bungee jumpers believing that they are less at risk of an injury than other jumpers,[3] or traders who think they are less exposed to losses in the markets.[4]

Mentionez aici articolul pe care l-am scris in martie, 2012:

Clasa pregatitoare - o alta ocazie de indoctrinare crestina.

Si acum, primul caz mediatizat:

Fanatism în numele religiei. 18 părinţi refuză să-şi înscrie copiii la şcoală din cauza învăţătorului care vrea să „mântuiască satul”

si citez:

O situaţie nefirească privind înscrierile la clasa pregătitoare are loc la Şcoala Gimnazială din comuna Botoşana, motivul fiind constituit de refuzul vehement al părinţilor de a-şi înscrie copiii în învăţământul primar, atâta vreme cât la catedra clasei zero se va afla învăţătorul Teofil Creangă, acuzat de părinţi de fanatism religios.

Aceştia au povestit conducerii instituţiei despre traumele la care sunt supuşi zilnic elevii de către învăţătorul a cărei menire este „să educe copiii în credinţă, spre mântuirea păcatelor, să-i conducă pe calea cea dreaptă, urmând să devină mucenici”.

Totodată, potrivit acestora, „el pune pe planul al doilea materiile şcolare şi dă o mare importanţă religiei. Le spune copiilor că necuratul există peste tot în casă, în televizor, îi terorizează cu poveşti despre diavoli, despre păcatele părinţilor şi le interzice lucruri normale precum uitatul la televizor, participarea la serbări, la concursuri şcolare, purtatul cerceilor, jocurile copilăriei. De asemenea, elevii sunt sfătuiţi să nu se joace cu copii de o altă religie, chiar dacă sunt rude”.

„Copiii sunt stresaţi psihic, acestora vorbindu-li-se numai despre diavol, vrăji, avorturi, exorcizări şi alte lucruri de care ei se sperie. Elevii întâmpină multe greutăţi. Îi pedepseşte la colţ cu mâinile sus câte o oră, îi aşează cu genunchii pe grăunţe. În timpul orelor îi obligă să citească acatiste, iar dacă pe elevi îi doare capul, îi trimite în ultima bancă, dându-le rugăciuni de citit”, a mai afirmat un alt părinte.

Un alt părinte mai povesteşte că fiica ei a fost pedepsită pentru că a participat la concursul de matematică „Cangurul”, fiind scoasă în faţa clasei, unde i s-a explicat că astfel de competiţii sunt un păcat. „A fost o pedeapsă psihică pentru ea, mai ales că este o fire sensibilă şi emotivă. Venea acasă şi plângea că nu mai vrea să meargă la şcoală”, afirmă mama fetiţei.

Original Post from ravi chandran subramaniam:
Its not new that atheists have been persecuted by relegious zealots for power (vote, money or otherwise)

recent spate of news in bangladesh where they are asking for strong law against anti blasphemy is just one new way of trying to control the voice of liberals.

It took me more than half hour to search for a link where there was a news article where hacking of a blogger who spoke against islam was reported but hundreds of pages where the need for law has been spoken.

http://en.rsf.org/bangladesh-well-know-blogger-hacked-to-death-18-02-2013,44093.html

Since I joined late to google plus I might have missed any discussion which might have happened in the month of feb 2013.

well coming back to the reason for this thread.

Atheists have been persecuted for as long as their views have been present.

now that we have found freedom should we not be really talking about next steps.

1) Should we create noise like when journalists are killed so much of pressure is put on govts to take action..I havent heard any such voice when atheists have been killed.. should we not start using our vote for our cause
(Cause of free and liberal speech).. law against banning people asking for anti blasphemy law can be a starter.. not allowing such people to migrate to western coutnries cna be a start.

2) stopping economic goods from countries where there are relegious laws .. once it hurts them more they understand and act accordingly

3) work for creation of a country for atheists and free thinkers..though we call india a land of freedom and free speech it has been killed big time. small sect of relegious ppl have overtaken with their power of votes..

4) have regular conventions at some place where we brainstorm for the movement to grow further..

Its with a great dificulty of freedom that some of the most basic things been implemented in france (against hijab against gay oppression)

should we not be pressing for atheist rights at UN (Not just speak of atheism but do some thing about it)

Reporters Without Borders strongly condemns the murder of an outspoken anti-Islamist blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haider, who was hacked to death in the capital, Dhaka, on 15 February. "We pay tribute to Haider's fight for freedom of information and we offer our condolences to his family and (...)

Christianity - just another religion based on non sequitur

noreply@blogger.com (Dumnezero Nimiculescu) — Fri, 10 May 2013 12:40:00 +0000

What would evidence look like for Christianity? As an atheist, I'm open to evidence, so if Christians actually had some, I'd be obliged to accept the theory.

However, the evidence and the proof is really bad, and because it gets compared to other poor evidence, few people realize the fallacy.

The entire religion is based on non sequitur arguments. It doesn't follow.

- If ghosts existed, it wouldn't follow that there's a God

- If zombies existed, --//--

- If JESUS existed, --//--

- if Jesus did actually perform miracles, --//--; since for all we know he could have been a false prophet, a demon, a witch or some extraterestrial, among many other possibilities which are just as likely

- if the world was flooded entirely from outer-space water, it wouldn't prove that there was a Christian God (how many other gods deal with nature?)

- healings and small time "miracles" don't mean that there's a Christian God

- etc.

Similarly, apologists often make appeals to "suspicious complexity" or "intelligent design" or to the "who made the Universe" idea. NONE of those are evidence for their own gods; even if they do prove these theories to be valid (such as having evidence that life is indeed engineered by some sophisticated intellect or that the entire Universe seems to be similarly designed, produced), (which they haven't so far) it only proves some type of Deism; not their personal theism; which is where they start making really idiotic non sequitur arguments by trying to create a story-line or a linage from that deism to a certain type of Christianity or whatever other religion (Jews and Muslims do it too).

The possibilities are very many and very improbable. Believers simply pick the ones they like and link them with feelings and intuitions and traditional certitude.

If you want such a theist to stop trying so stupidly to bring evidence, try this:

If your God exists, he made me, he knows what I'm thinking, he knows very well what is the evidence I need to believe. And if there's no evidence to be found, he either doesn't exist, which is more likely, or he's a unjust asshole who blames his own faulty creations instead of taking responsibility.

That should make the discussion more interesting.

Christians vs the environment

noreply@blogger.com (Dumnezero Nimiculescu) — Thu, 09 May 2013 12:10:00 +0000

Now, there are some Christians and other abrahamists who find some quotes in support of environmentalism. But...

Their god has many wishes, rules and such for them. Disregarding, sorting and prioritizing them is a common way of life, since it's basically impossible to be perfect (the rules often contradict each other - see "killing").

Even without the rules, ideologies that provide postmortem rewards just make people narrowly concerned and usually passive (with the exception of fanatical martyrs).

Essentially, you get people who just "ride the planet" and only mind their narrow interests, personal and family. And that's something which is very difficult to change, as I'm sure you know. You know how Bill Hicks said that nice bit of his... "it's just a ride", well - that idea has a terrible darkside.

The most common investment in long term in this case runs along wealth, which is wise by ancient standards, but simplistic by modern ones. We need to leave something better for younger and future generations - in general, not just for your own descendants.

The Escathology aspects are quite interesting, in the sense that they're the extreme application of the religious ideology. It's appealing to people who live under high stress and anxiety, real (like poor and sick people) or imaginary (imagining conspiracies and various paranoid delusions) - because of the desire to transcend an inescapable shitty situation and overcome an oppressing power. This is all linked to the just world fallacy or psychology.

I admit to feeling such things too, even after I stopped being Christian, that feeling of wanting to watch the world burn... still, I'm less pessimistic now, but I do work in media (i.e. literally watching the world).

Look at Jesus, for example. Now, I'm pretty left-leaning, but I detest Jesus for his teachings, which are not long-term. He was an end-times prophet (which was not uncommon in those parts). He told his followers to renounce all their material possessions (and their families), and share them with the poor (which doesn't sound terribly bad), and what's next is what people forget: in order to be ready for the incoming Kingdom of God which coincides with the Final Judgment. Jesus promised his followers that this would happen within their lifetimes (which be would in 1st century). The failure is even stranger, as people sacrifice so much that they suffer powerful cognitive dissonance and do not come to their senses properly.

Here's a fellow redditor explaining this (to me), since he's a specialist and I'm an amateur: [discussion about cognitive dissonance]

The sanctity of life? No such thing.

Is a fetus a "human"?

It's not the same. Basically, the fetal stage is of obligate parasitism.

The umbilical cord represents the parasitic bond which ties a fetus to its host, the woman. Once that's cut, his body is "inaugurated" and switches to actual eating, which is what the rest of us do.

Is an embryo a person?

If embryos could be grown in incubators from the start, this discussion would be a lot simpler. But thing is that the fetus is inside a woman, physically, and that territory is simply off limits to legislation; it is the right to self ownership, the thing which separates you and me from slaves. If that right is broken, in the case of defense of fetuses, you're essentially transforming women into slaves specialized in incubating unwanted humans.

Imagine if sperm were considered people, as they were considered for ages, even without the microscope.

Men would carry the miniature humans in their testicles and women were the fertile grounds to plant the seeds in (we're talking about agricultural civilizations). That's why women were seen as inferior for so much time and why they were treated like property (like land). Well, at least one of the big reasons.

This homunculus was considered a tiny human, just like you see the embryo now. Which is why wasting sperm was seen as a crime... since you were wasting humans, you were doing genocide simply by masturbation. Anal sex and gay sex was also seen as a crime because of this, as was oral sex. All waste of "seed" was murder.

This belief ran so deep that the word itself, "sperm", the one we use today, is technically wrong. Sperm carry just 50% of the genetic material of a person; the other half is in the woman's egg, but the word "sperm" means "seed", which it certainly is not. Sperm is the equivalent of pollen in plants, not the equivalent of seeds.

Basescu devine si mai stereotipic: sustine socialismul special pentru BOR

noreply@blogger.com (Dumnezero Nimiculescu) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:34:00 +0000

Articol complet aici: T.Băsescu: În mediul rural, Biserica e singura formă eficientă de educare. Dacă am şti toţi cele 10 porunci ne-ar fi bine

Sa o luam pe rand, ca e parte dintr-un interviu.

Preşedintele Traian Băsescu a declarat joi seară, la Digi24, că un sistem de finanţare autonom pentru biserici va putea fi elaborat abia după ce procesul de restituire a proprietăţilor se va finaliza.

Adica niciodata. Si nu e clar daca se refera la chestiuni din secolul XX sau din secolul XIX (dupa care tanjeste adolescentin Biserica Ortodoxa).

Cred că aici trebuie să găsim un optim. Ştiţi, acolo unde bisericile trebuie finanţate numai de enoriaşi, niciodată biserica nu a trecut printr-un proces de naţionalizare. Bisericile din România, fie că este Biserica Ortodoxă, Biserica Catolică sau orice alte culte recunoscute, sunt culte care au trecut printr-un proces de naţionalizare şi nu li s-au restituit averile.

Prima propozitie banuiesc ca se refera la ce zicea Remus Cernea. Sa vedem ce zice wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_tax#Germany

Despite the resulting medieval conflict between emperor and pope, the concept of church maintenance by the ruler remained the accepted custom in most Western European countries. In Reformation times, the local princes in Germany became officially heads of the church in Protestant areas and were legally responsible for the maintenance of churches. Not until the 19th century were the finances of churches and state regulated to a point where the churches became financially independent. At this point the church tax was introduced to replace the state benefits the churches had obtained previously.
Taxpayers, whether Roman Catholic, Protestant or members of other tax-collecting communities, pay between 8% (in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg) and 9% (in the rest of the country) of their income tax to the church or other community to which they belong.[1]

Bisericile erau de stat (implicit nationalizate), inclusiv in Germania, pana cand a avut loc separarea; in cazul Germaniei, a fost introdusa acea taxa prin care statul actiona doar ca mediator pentru biserici, colectand impozitele de la credinciosi. Cine se declara necredincios, nu platea taxa, evident.

Cat despre bisericile din Romania, tare sunt curios ce are de zis Basescu in privinta relatiei dintre Biserica Ortodoxa si bisericile grecocatolice, ca BOR a castigat destul de bine pe "piata credintei" in secolul trecut.

Vorbind de restituiri, acestea trebuie sa mearga in doua sensuri, in fond bisericile, mai ales BOR, au tot primit "bunatati" gratuite de la diverse autoritati, astfel incat au fost distruse nenumarate spatii verzi in medii urbane si numeroase bugete locale de care depindeau spitale, clinici, scoli, azile s.a.m.d.. Orice restitutire ar trebui sa insemne decontarea acestor cadouri la valoarea lor de piata din momentul in care au fost privatizate catre BOR.

Din ce credeţi că trăieşte Vaticanul? Din proprietăţile Bisericii Catolice.

Nu e o problema mea. Basescu nu pricepe o chestiune de baza organizatiilor private, ceea ce e ironic din moment ce el (si fostul sau partid) sustinea neoliberalismul, ca doar e de dreapta, nu? Cum isi permite sa sustina socialism pentru biserici?

Repet, nu este problema mea cum razbeste oricare din bisericile din Romania. Comparatia cu Vaticanul este irelevanta. E ca si cum as vorbi, ipotetic, de o companie privata din Romania, gen Banca Transilvania (ca mi-e greu sa ma gandesc la alta care are capital romanesc), si as declara:

"priviti la Americani si la Germani ce banci puternice au! Ce bogatie este pe Wall Street! Ce capital si ce rating are Goldman Sachs! Noi nu putem sa incetam asistenta pentru BT pentru ca cei de la Goldman Sachs se descurca excelent din investitii uriase si capital imens". Nu tine de responsabilitatea presedintelui, a guvernului sau a statului sa bage o biserica anume, cum e BOR, in topul economic al bisericilor din lume.

Este problema credinciosilor. Daca nu au bani sa-si finanteze biserica cum este acum, n-au de cat sa contribuie mai mult si sa convinga preotimea sa se apuce de munca serioasa; si sa opreasca fabricile de preoti numite "facultati de teologie". Asta fac credinciosii in sate de secole; stiu pentru ca eu chiar am vizitat si am vazut cum isi adunau localnicii bani sa renoveze sau sa reconstruiasca biserici pe masura bugetului lor, deseori fiind vorba si de o concurenta cu sateni de alta religie-etnie. In mod ironic, am vazut si cum BOR-central a venit si a "nationalizat" acele locuri, aducand preoti "de la centru", detestati de localnici. As fi ras mai mult daca toti acesti preoti nu erau bugetari.

Revenind totusi la Vatian, sa nu uitam ca si-a primit propriul oras/tara/paradis-fiscal... multumita unui regim fascist al Italiei. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateran_Treaty

trebuie să recunoaştem că în mediul rural este singura formă eficientă, garantată, de educare a populaţiei. Dacă măcar am şti toţi cele zece porunci, ne-ar fi bine. Măcar de la preot le mai auzi.

Uite aici sunt poruncile:

1. Eu sunt Domnul Dumnezeul Tau; sa nu ai alti dumnezei afara de Mine.
2. Sa nu-ti faci chip cioplit, nici alta asemanare, nici sa te inchini lor.
3. Sa nu iei numele Domnului Dumnezeului tau in desert.
4. Adu-ti aminte de ziua Domnului si o cinsteste.
5. Cinsteste pa tatal tau si pe mama ta, ca bine sa-ti fie si multi ani sa traiesti pe pamant.
6. Sa nu ucizi.
7. Sa nu fii desfranat.
8. Sa nu furi.
9. Sa nu ridici marturie mincinoasa impotriva aproapelui tau.
10. Sa nu poftesti nimic din ce este al aproapelui tau.

UNDE anume este educatia acolo? Dupa ce standarde e asta o educatie?

Sa fie extrem de clar: preotimea nu e formata din profesori; ei nu au cultura generala, nu au specializari in stiinte si arte, nu au cursuri de pedagogie; nu sunt calificati nici macar sa dreseze un caine cum sa stea jos.

Stiti unde faceau ei educatia? ... In evul mediu, in feudalism, unde Bisericile erau la apogeul lor in societate. Doar niste tampiti ar sustine asa regres.

Nu suntem în situaţia în care, pe de-o parte Biserica Ortodoxă Română dacă ne referim la ea, dar şi celelalte prin avuţia lor, să stea pe picioarele lor, să stea pe ceea ce produce din avere Biserica.

Este problema personala a credinciosilor.

Si, ca fapt divers, as fi curios daca Basescu a avut aceeasi opinie fata de zecile sau sutele de mii de IMM-uri care au fost distruse sub regimul sau (in principal in guvernul Boc-Pogea). Uite - ele produceau ceva, aveau niste angajati fiecare, plateau impozite ... Serios, as prefera niste socialism pentru IMM-uri, nu pentru Biserici, ca bisericile sunt doar consumatoare, iar pe ce produc nu platesc impozite.

. Eu am folosit, deşi nu am o relaţie directă, permanentă, cu conducerea BOR,

Da, stim. Secularismul este irelevant la noi, ca in mare parte din Estul Europei. Basescu poate sa dea mana cu Putin, viitorul Tzar uns de Patriarhul Kiril.

Suntem o societate în tranziţie, încă nu ne-am definit valorile şi Biserica este un partener, fie că vorbim de procesul de educare, fie că vorbim de asistenţa socială.

Bine ca vrea Basescu sa defineasca valorile pentru toata lumea, sustinand bisericile. "Tranzitie"... poate doar in sensul de salt inapoi in timp.

Dacă observaţi, bisericile care s-au întremat economic se implică tot mai mult în case de copii, în diverse acţiuni sociale

Pe bani publici! Conteaza. E foarte usor sa arati generozitate pe banii altora.

ceea ce nu înseamnă că la un moment dat n-ar putea să devină supărătoare o oarecare rapacitate a preoţilor.

Aia nu ma deranjeaza atat timp cat nu e o rapacitate parazitara la nivelul bugetelor publice. Pe credinciosi ii deranjeaza, ca vad cum preotii sunt lacomi si "materialisti"; asta e problema lor! Sa-si gaseasca alti preoti!

Mă bucur că în ultima vreme s-au dat instrucţiuni majore: să nu se mai ia bani la înmormântările celor săraci,

Nu-i stres atat timp cat Bisericile vand "imobilele mortuare". Daca va amintiti, BOR a reactionat cam cu spume si flegme cand a vazut ca apar cimitre cu adevarat private, independente de reteaua bisericeasca.

să nu se ţină slujbele pentru excentrici oriunde, numai în biserică.

Pfuai, ce dramatica schimbare! Ironic, tot in defavoarea credinciosilor.

Cred că societatea are nevoie de biserică.

DOVEZI? ...Nimic. Doar crede.

Parteneriatul politic e toxic, asta decredibilizează Biserica.

Si politicienii. E o decredibilizare reciproca. Singurul lucru bun din toata mizeria asta anti-seculara.

Dacă a început cu instrucţiunile cu înmormântările pentru săraci, cu locurile în care să se ţină slujbele, cununiile, cununiile religioase, sunt convins că vor fi şi instrucţiuni legate de implicarea preoţilor în politică.

Cata ipocrizie... fantastic.

Ginecologii din Timisoara

noreply@blogger.com (Dumnezero Nimiculescu) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:56:00 +0000

Ginecologii din Timisoara isi incalca datoria profesionala in scopuri mistico-religioase, cu ocazia postului crestin din aceasta perioada.

Nu doar ca nu sunt pedepsiti, dar faptul ca renunta la facut operatii de avort aceasta perioada de post este, in teologia crestina, o dovada ca ei sunt pasionati de avort si le place sa faca avorturi. Pentru cine inca nu stie, "postul" e o perioada in care crestinii sunt incurajati sa renunte la placeri, cum sunt cele din dieta, pentru ca placerile duc la "pacat".

Medicii ginecologici refuză să scape femeile de sarcinile nedorite. Chiar dacă sunt obligați de lege să facă avorturi, specialiștii de la maternități au decis să pună în aplicare o lege nescrisă, p......

But it's likely that the Higgs Boson, a subatomic particle thought to give everything its mass, will be known by the moniker for a long time, Dick Teresi explained.

As their power declines in America, fundamentalists are moving to developing countries not as far along the secularization curve. And they're causing massive damage.

Scottish priests 'out of control sexually', says former abuse adviser [The Telegraph] Alan Draper has accused the Church leadership, of being "unwilling" to expose supposedly celibate priests who were leading "double lives" in the 1980s and 1990s. Mr Draper, a lecturer in ethics from Dundee University, was brought in to advise Scottish bishops on abuse allegations but was removed after a disagreement. He has disclosed that bishops were aware of 20 separate cases in the Church between 1985 and 1995 but he alleges that they were "reluctant" to take matters further and rejected his call for independent experts to be brought in. He is now calling for files relating to Catholic Church in Scotland to be handed over to judge led inquiry.
