    The thing is you rely on belief. You don’t have to know yet, that’s fine. But pining for the old to be somehow compatible is gone

      Everyone has beliefs? You do too. The future isn’t set in stone hence why I like you have beliefs about how it will go. The difference is mine are underpinned by analysis of the material world, political economy and research into these topics where as again you have vibes leading you to believe things I would call erroneous. Your beliefs are much closer to a religious faith than anything backed by reality.

        So great. We have the same base but you want to call it vibes for me, and something else for yourself. That sounds religious

            If we don’t, there forms a logical contradiction of your comment of “analysis of the material world, political economy and research into these topics”.

              You have shown none of these

              analysis of the material world, political economy and research into these topics

              That is the difference in our base.
