  • It is an act of god. Jesus is punishing the world for its sins. What sins, you ask, gay marriage and women voting? Hell no! The sin is emitting carbon dioxide. Jesus hates it when you do that. That’s why he made those molecules trap sunlight in the Earth’s atmosphere and that’s why he made the weather systems intensify when there’s more energy in them, resulting in bigger hurricanes. He’s really lazy, so he set it all up automatically to wipe out the human species if they emit too much carbon. It’s like the great flood. He told you never again. Next time you go emitting carbon, it’s gonna be heat, not water.

    No, you don’t get to live forever in hell. Jesus said the only way to live forever is to be forgiven for your sins.

    And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

    And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

    Priests who say that sinners get to live forever in hell are lying. Drag isn’t a christian, but drag knows Jesus didn’t promise eternal life to sinners who don’t repent. There’s no such thing as eternal torture in the Bible. It was made up by lying priests to scare people who weren’t afraid of nonexistence. According to the Bible, what awaits sinners is nonexistence; death. They only changed it to scare people who didn’t mind dying.


  • What if gem gender is the type of gem? Like Pearl is a gender, Ruby is a gender… If gem is a species, then type, or “cut” is the biggest difference between them. If this is the case, then the disgust at fusions of different types can be explained as heterophobia. Gems only accept gay relationships, hetero sex is disgusting to them.

    Drag chooses to kill those people because drag knows nothing about them. Drag just assume they’re randos. And on average, people suck. Drag’s friends are great people.

    If drag knew more about the people, the equation would change. Drag finds it difficult to reason seriously about a scientist discovering a cure for cancer, since there’s no such thing. There are hundreds of cancers. There’s no one solution for all of them and there never will be. We’ll need hundreds of cures for cancer, many of which we already use today.

    If we went with a more realistic scenario, like “one of those people will be the leader of the USA’s communist revolution”, drag would be much more willing to kill drag’s friends. Drag might also commit suicide about it, though, so maybe the numbers aspect is equal anyway. Would drag give drag’s life and all drag’s friends’ lives away for a communist America? Probably, but drag would sure like some assurance it’s going to be proper anarchist communism, and drag wants to know if another leader could have taken that place. Does drag even believe in the “great man” approach to history, or is there no such thing as such a leader? Is there nobody that important?

    You pulling the trigger to switch the trolley to kill only the 1 person can and will have consequences on your own mental health.

    That’s called selfishness, and it’s not generally considered a factor in ethics. At most, that changes the equation to 2 vs 5. Still easy.

    unless you’re a fucking psychopath, you’re not gonna kill your newborn to save 5 strangers.

    Then psychopaths are right and neurotypical people are wrong. The world would be better off if it had more psychopaths, as you describe them.

    But you’re wrong about psychopaths. See, what you’re describing is limited empathy. You have more empathy for your baby than for five strangers, because of your limited point of view and inability to abstract the situation and see the bigger picture. A psychopath, according to pop psychology (psychopathy doesn’t actually exist in serious psychology, but let’s pretend it does) has no empathy. A psychopath doesn’t care who dies. They probably save the baby because it’s more socially acceptable and will make them look good. That’s selfishness again.

    If you want to know who saves the strangers, well that’s someone who has empathy for both the baby and the strangers, and the wisdom to empathise equally with both. That kind of wisdom is extremely rare because natural selection doesn’t favour it. It doesn’t offer any advantage over the rest of the species to be that selfless. So you’d be most likely to find it in an extremely rare combination of autistic traits, or in a very enlightened Buddhist monk.
