Being a Christian in biblical studies is the life man. You can get away with anything.

This is all a coordinated stunt by Jensen Huang to promote the idea that things would be better if AI handled corporate jobs instead of humans.

Ibn al-Mubarak said: "The paper and ink are created. As for the Qur'an, it is neither a creator nor created; rather, it is the Speech of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Al Asma Wal-Sifat Lil-Bayhaqi Volume 2 Page 7 Athar 571

Which reminds me of
Advocating for Jihad upon the Byzantinans for abandoning the great cultural and intellectual heritage of the Greeks in favour of the debased religious dogma of Christianity is amongst the most borderline insane beliefs of the Muʿtazila frankly no one talks about.

Not just controlling resources. Pre-modern Muslim empires were huge producers with manufacturing innovation. Textiles, glassware, ceramics, etc. We regressed while the West technologically overtook everyone else a couple hundred years ago (not just Muslims, the rest of Asia too).
This is a broader point I’ve been reflecting on. A lot of Muslims claim that in Islamic history we were “economic engines” but how much of that was simply territorial control over natural resources? That’s why the Mughals were successful and why Saudis are successful now.

Obviously access to natural resources carried more weight in a pre-industrial world. The point here is that pre-modern Muslim empires were not sitting around producing nothing.

People still think this? Europe did not become more advanced than the rest via conquest They began pulling ahead around 1300-1400, which enabled their ability to make conquest This article (have some issues with it but agree with core point) explains: inquisitivebird.substack.com…

It's funny that Kaczynski dedicated 10,000 words to shitting on libtards, while his criticism of conservatives was a single paragraph that read: "You guys are fools for thinking that you can maintain traditional values while radically altering the material conditions of society."
i got bored and decided to read the unabomber manifest and i cannot fucking believe that a guy who blew up mailboxes and killed 3 people clocked the fuck out of the leftist movement 40 years ago

When the anti-feminist larp takes you as far as saying Ishaq b. Rahawayh, Imam Ahmad, and Sufyan al-Thawri ‘cucked themselves’ الله يلعنك يا حمار
Replying to @AbuAsuka
If they really said this (which I doubt) than may Allah forgive them for cucking themselves

Plato and Kepler were right. "It turns out that Plato’s conception about the element earth being made up of cubes is, literally, the statistical average model for real earth. And that is just mind-blowing.” - Dr. Douglas Jerolmack
"I undertake that God, in creating the universe and regulating the order of the cosmos, had in view the five regular bodies of geometry known since the days of Pythagoras and Plato." - Johannes Kepler

I would have destroyed their entire species for Steve after witnessing this. Squeezed them in my hand until their bones crunched and eyes popped out. It would have been gory and disgusting as fuck. For Steve.
Steve, a tiny dibbler at Perth Zoo, reportedly helped save his endangered species without ever becoming a father. Female dibblers prefer larger mates, and Steve was too small and apparently didn't smell appealing. Keepers used him as the first male females encountered during breeding trials. After meeting Steve, females found the next males more attractive and were more willing to mate. According to the zoo, Steve lived a long life as an unlikely conservation hero.

Maki, the eyebrow-piercing Salafi, blames Muslim men for the rise of Pink Islam. "Pink Islam is a reaction to toxic online behavior pushed by Muslim men. (..) You need to treat me with respect and give excuses, even if you believe your own eyes."

OSINToids and 3rd century Zoroastrians converging on the same epistemology regarding the signs & portents of military campaigns
The moon tells you something about potential US strikes in the next week. Tonight it's 12% lit. Friday 6%, Saturday 2%, and on Sunday and Monday, 8 and 9 November, there's none at all. It stays a thin sliver until about the 11th, and that's the darkest stretch until December. Darkness isn't the advantage it used to be. Both sides have night vision and radar, and cruise missiles and stealth bombers don't care about the moon. It's still a factor, though. It matters for anything flying low or working close in, and it makes it harder for the other side to spot and film what's coming. The third carrier, Theodore Roosevelt, isn't due until the end of November. That doesn't rule out this window. An opening wave doesn't need it. Carriers decide how long a campaign can run, not when it starts. A strike now with the Roosevelt arriving as reinforcement is one reading. Waiting for it and the December dark period is the other.

Liberal zionist wetdream. Age of Wahn man... If the Arab parties did not at least extract an opening of Gaza to aid for this....Muslims and Arab humiliation would reach levels unseen since the Prophet (PBUH) time when Romans and Persians used Arabs as cannon fodder
The Joint List alliance of Arab-led parties says it will back Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form a new government after last week’s election. Read more: aje.news/tfasjn

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

The funniest thing about these secularists is that Pakistan's ruling class are not “mullahs”. Their elites have been full of libs for decades. They have the power. But they want to fantasize about how Pakistan would be a paradise if only the “mullahs” weren't around.
Replying to @Shehzad89
Your problem precisely is the articulation of the "islamist" narrative in a language that doesn't fit your idea of how a politically charged muslim should argue, classic neo-oriental tendencies. which is why you have to box muslims into "frantic mullahs-good sec-lib muslim" binaries, you're unable to fathom any political commentary beyond the secular-liberal-humanist paradigm, which you assume to be universal and neutral. Kindly please don't punch above your intellectual pay-grade, stick to doing podcasts within your bubble.

I guess an ideology that justifies modern hedonism as more “advanced” has more appeal than boring proposals on industrial policy or land reform. This also applies to some naive Islamists who think piety and religious orthodoxy are a substitute for things like economic planning.

Okay but how do mullahs get in the way of building steel mills and nuclear power plants? Why is Pakistan not self-sufficient in steel and suffer from energy insecurity? What part of the population’s fundamental incuriousness impede the irreligious elite from building the above?
