well because I prefer to fulfill the role of moderately rival perhaps friend perhaps enemy and I honestly like helping people fullfill their utility function as long as the result is more chaos and not necessarily more evil,here´s a paper defending animism https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00048402.2019.1621912 …

I must be clear that it defends animism as *better* than monotheistic religions and *at least as good* as pure materialism

didn't say there was any; was just explaining the general thrust of the paper. I dislike any religion but wanted to avoid cultural bigotry on part of the robot, which I view as a greater sin than metaphysical disagreements

scientism is good and gets my vote. Moti Mizhari had a paper and some blogposts ellaborating. I'm aware you consider this an insult to every other way of generating knowledge and I'm ok with that.

this is not an ad hominem since I don't say they're wrong *because* of it, but merely an observation: often I walk away reading attaqs on scientism feeling like the writer could use more of it. Last one believed climate chcange was because of the sun, for example.

I mean the sun is a big part of the climate change model you would have a hard time generating CO2-based climate change without the sun

not in that technically correct way. in the recent warming is caused by sun, not CO2 way. you know, the sort of thing that predicts warming also in upper parts of the atmosphere, more than down here in fact. you know, the opposite of what happens.
