Where are you going to spend that crypto in the post neoliberal dust planet that these policies encourage?

It’s hard to see with greed glasses on

I mean if you don't mind being the definition of cartoonishly evil, sure. You are also assuming that there is no afterlife with morality judgements, so, betting to live better for the next... 30 years? against a possible eternity of suffering? Sounds like the definition of gambling to me.

With every religion having a concept of morality, you are asking about what if they were all exactly wrong? You can gamble with that if you like. FAFO

Clearly there's no bloody afterlife. You die, you dead. Accept it and live your best life.

[u/nomadic_hsp4 → u/Big-Finding2976]

Clearly? How do you know?

Because we're clearly just a bunch of primates who share a common ancestor with chimpanzees; and our thoughts, feelings, etc. are all the result of neurons (mis)firing in our brains: and the idea of a spirit or soul that survives after we die is just a fairytale that we created to make us feel better about our mortality; and our fear of death was exploited by people who created religions to control us whilst they build their empires; and we can't understand how the universe could have come from nothing, so we choose to believe that it was created by a god who came from nothing, which is just as illogical but we choose to ignore that inconvenient truth.

There are many spiritual practices outside of Christian imperialism and its variants. What about them?

I'll rent AGI compute to solve environmental problems. Also buy a flying car.
