Black cat analogy Puns

After so many really awful stories about the atrocities of religion, allow me to lighten the mood a little.

Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.

Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there.

Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there, and shouting "I found it!"

Science is like being in a dark room looking for a black cat while and using a flashlight.

(original author as far as I know unknown)

Of all the stories my mother used to tell me at bedtime, the black hole frightened me the most. It wasn't the darkness that scared me. I was comfortable in darkness. It was the idea of an event horizon. Venture into that horizon, and the gravitational pull prevents you from turning back. Escape becomes impossible.

As a child, I had nightmares of black holes. I used to imagine what it would be like, drifting towards something miraculous, bearing witness to something most minds could never even comprehend, then realising too late that you had reached the point of no return.

I read this today and would like to share.

A theologian says to a philosopher, "A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there." The philosopher replies, "yeah, but the theologian would've claimed to have found it".

EDIT: Thanks to kadron. Still new at this. I had to look up what FTFY meant. Haha

I am still early in my journey (1.5 months) and Black Cat Analog was the first blend I bought. Stuck is not really the right word because I largely enjoy it and still working on getting my consistency on point. I would like to try out alternatives but I have not been able to find something to beat the price and performance so far with $15 per bag and free shipping.

Does anyone have any recommendations which is around the same price point?

I was trying to explain to my SO why I sometimes get mad or sad out of, to her, seemingly nowhere. I've been trying to explain how things like raising her voice or speaking in a certain tone upset me but she never seemed to understand until I brought up this one.

Say you're eating food with your cat on your lap, when you're done eating you decide to wrap up your leftovers but as soon as you start wrinkling the tin foil your cat shoots from your lap and scratches you.

The first thing to naturally feel is that the cat just wronged you. All you did was grab some tinfoil and now your legs are bleeding.

But did you take into account that cats have extremely sensitive ears? To them that aluminum foil sounds like thunder and it can cause them immense distress suddenly being bombarded with a noise like that.

The cat didn't choose to have sensitive ears and you didn't choose to almost deafen him, so it's not useful to be mad at it nor yourself. The only thing you can do is try to be aware of the fact that his ears are sensitive.

I hope the analogy makes sense to you guys. I just thought I would post it since it's been a long time and it's part of me learning to understand my progress.

The 'there's too many Asians' super racist mindset needs to be challenged and we see racists think this about college admissions or tech/finance industries where Asians are in a lot of lower roles but not as much in upper management.

As an analogy and I know alt right Asian dweebs won't get it all, but here's a very analogous article not too long ago from Sports Illustrated, that ratings are down and there are 'too many blacks' in the NBA.

Can someone answer this? Please.

Ok so hear me out. You know how people talk about dog years, cat years, etc. I'm not sure exactly what the rates are but iirc it's 1:7 for dogs. I get that this was invented so it gives a bit more perspective to the age of animals. Like a 3 year old dog is 21 in human years so the dog is young, etc.

Buuuuut, how about this? How long does a dog live normally? 10-13 years. Oh so if he's 3, then he's young.

If a dog is 6 years old, as in, you know, 6 years have passed since its birth... Then he's at the middle of his life.

You get my point, you don't need to convert to 'human years' do get a sense of how old your dog. Just remember that a dog lives for about 10-13 years. Simple as that

the black sign in the white - and the white in the black indicates the possibility of transformation, just when things seem secure, the unknown can loom, unexpectedly and large. Conversely, just when everything seems lost, new order can emerge from catastrophe and chaos. The same thing is happening with the black swan of Nassim, when things seem secure a black swan can mess or things.

For millennia, human nature has been likened to that of our animal counterparts at the very core. Strip away human consciousness, emotions, social media and modern progressiveness and we see the raw, barebones nature of a large majority of human beings. As we are all children of God, at a base level, we are all created with that same, primal and instinctive nature.

Now my journey with RP and RPC more recently, has been a bumpy one in the past. When I was introduced to RP over a year ago, I couldn't quite grasp and swallow that big, fat, red pill. Maybe it was because I thought it was too good to be true, who knows, but I was a bit of an idiot. However, there were a few occasions about year ago where I went out and tried to figure things out for myself that it finally clicked. I had come to the conclusion that deep down, no matter how 'cultured' 'educated' or 'woke' people are, or at least claim to be, more often that not we fall back to primal instinct. Most of the time, we don't even notice it. I finally made the connection.

Cats.

I remember trying to explain this to my old BP friends and yeah I don't need to tell you how that went, hence old friends. But this is what I had noticed, from first hand experience [important later].

A Cat, a feline mammal that on the surface does almost literally whatever it wants, or so it seems to us. When Cats are around people, they tend to get scared and freeze. When said person takes a period of time out of their day and runs after them saying 'awww what a cute kitty', guess what, they BOLT. Worst case scenario, they hiss and attack in self-defence. This leaves said person momentarily confused and a bit sad that they couldn't pet the kitty. Said person then looks like a fool in front of their mates, because they attempted to pet a cat using all the bells and whistles they thought might work, and now they look like fool. And ***"as a dog returns to it's vomit, a fool repeats his folly"***. Don't be that guy.

So how do we get to pet the cat??

It's simple. Don't.

At least not to begin with, otherwise you'll end up in the fabled scenario above, which most of us have encountered at least once in our lives, with a relatives cat or even just a random one on the streets.

Cats are peculiar, but at the core, the nature is rather simple. When you enter the vicinity of a Cat and inject your presence into the area for the first time, it knows you are there, even if you might not know it is there, or it's

I know this isn't necessarily related to Destiny but I was really interested in what the community thinks about this. I have recently seen a lot of people on twitter arguing the problematic nature of the conflict between the horde and alliance in the world of warcraft as essentially a race war. And that the iconic fantasy races and their often racially motivated conflicts contribute to racism. Especially during the black lives matter protests. Orcs are argued as analogous to black people. Whilst the likes of the quartering and chuds like that argue that the fantasy races couldn't possibly have any origins in politics. I completely buy that the orcs are born out of human political conflict. But is there actually any evidence that Tolkien who invented the orcs saw them as analogous to black people?

I'm more inclined to believe that he saw them as analogous to the nazis/germans. Just like a lot of bad guys were back then. But there is a lot of evidence to suggest it's specifically the case in this scenario. Tolkien was strongly opposed to the nazis whilst also being a massive germanophile and having German ancestry. The orcs were in the lord of the rings elves who had been corrupted by the dark lord. This could be seen as an analogy to germans being corrupted by Hitler/NSDAP. The analogy to germans draws even closer as elves originate in Germanic mythology and Tolkien once again being a huge germanophile who even invented his own germanic language and was super into german mythology.
