I’ll clearify my concept. If you could possibly take a midle age theologist and teleport him to the current age, they’d be total nerds and not priests.
Clergy back then was studying, and studying and studying and exploring reality in a framework that gave for granted that God exixts. You can call it whatever you want but I think it’s a bit silly to reduct it to “those dumb fucks belong to the mines”, while in reality it through their efforts that, unwillingly (?), we pursued knowledge to the point of refining modern science methodology.
Nothing “makes” you anything. Questioning and exploring existence can look very different in different ages.
Back in the days they were just philosophers aka scientists.
That’s the one, funnily enough in a perverted twist, they tend to see wealth as a sign that God has picked them as favourites (graced them) and they storically gravitated toward seeing poor people as, well, sinners, even thought their principles state that anyone could be graced or not no matter the more evident aspects of life.
Do they just, make the money disappear if you don’t reach the 50 or do they add up till you reach 50?
No, not really, it’s mostly a matter of power.
The Church itself is rooted in the idea that there are autorities on matter of faith and they adopted the Platonical Agostinean idea that faith is empowered by reason. Reason being a valid tool means you have experts that reasoned a lot about religion and people that know less and needs to be taught, ultimately by the Pope.
The “other” side tends to reject authorities, and take the words of the bible as sobjected to personal interpretation or, to an extent, make it into some sort of magical object that the faithfull subjects itself to, without questions. Accepting the contradictions, the illogal parts, are what that kind of faith is about because to question (throught reasoning) God is a Sin.
Unironically the question by witch many Christian faiths differ: does God needs abide to the rules of logic or not?
For the Roman Catholic, yes, for Calvinists and a bunch other (ok, many other but I’m not an expert), no.
They are basically cops. And the analogy holds on many level including that yes, some can genuinely be on your side and try to help you or fix the system from the inside, in a way, but it’s pretty much “luck based”, you have no foolproof way to tell one from the other.
The wise strategy is to be your own HR, study the contracts and the laws. If you go in blind trusting HR you can be lucky and have a good happy professiona life or get fucked.
Knowing also helps dramatically in undestanding where HR can realistically help, where it can harm and where it is going beyond expectations and is on your side.
Don’t expect them to put you above their own survival though…
It’s not a habit I make a conscious effort from october to january every year.
I have some bad news about the status of the afterlife.
0 effort and yet alive.
Death being the most boring shit I can possibly imagine is pretty high on the list.
No. Once I went in the forest near my home when I was on the brick of failing my year of study in college (a big deal where I’m from it would set me back a year of life basically and in my circle would have been very hard especially to my parents).
As I grew older, for light stuff I’d gravitate toward videogames and for heavier stuff I’d just be stuck in bed doomscrolling.
2 years ago this investigation into its working was released (abusive working conditions), I think it may be relevant…

Cool stuff, I’ll start using “ecocide” in the wild. Or rather, on concrete.
It is not the only point when it comes to adopting technologies, when it comes to maximizing privacy, yes maximizing privacy is tautologically the only point.
Let’s say, I don’t know, a government builds a great firewall and forbit people from trying to circumvent it.
