  • Yea, but are the majority of scholars really free from bias with 3 major religions notorious for killing people over disagreements (and funding those that agree with them) all having a vested interest in perpetuation of the myth?

    Every wikipedia source to the contrary is essentially an agrument to authority and didn’t even discuss the underlying “evidence” or points to sources long after the fact and calls on:

    Multiple attestation across independent Gospel traditions (Yea, right, that can all be made up)

    Criterion of embarrassment: (Once again, not evidence. Religions are not aways rational, or correct)

    Tacitus (Annals 15.44, c. 116 CE): “Christus… suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.” This is the key non-Christian corroboration. (And a hundred years later, press X to doubt)

    So, I’m not impressed.






  • Well, it’s a conflation of threats.

    It’s not really AI, and it’s not what is in control, but it is enabling the increased consolidation of wealth coupled with the increased ability to defend that wealth with a smaller and smaller concentration of people (surveillance+robotics/drones+LLM aided automation). So, real threats, wrong response as usual.
