So much for intelligent design eh?

[–] Klear@quokk.au 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Theodicy is the the teological conundrum of how to square God's omnipotence (can do anything) and omnibenevolence (absolute good) with the existence of evil in the world. A shitton of teologicians and philosophers tried to tackle the problem and usually failed miserably. Personally I never found any explanation to be convincing, until I came up with one and I honestly believe it is the only possible one.

What if God just... isn't very clever? He's doing his best, ok?!

Now, you may ask - if he's omnipotent, couldn't he increase his own intelligence? Yes he could. But he's too stupid to realise that =(

I had a philosophy professor who espoused this view, and I tend to agree.

We don't write the H there in my native Czech and I'm very hungover today, so I apparently fucked it up twice. Interesting that I did write "theodicy" correctly (I hope)

I sometimes catch myself writing "Kanada" instead of Canada when not paying attention too.

Ah, I was hoping it was more "te" as in "tea" to imply making shit "wisdom" up while looking at the bottom of a cup, or as in the Latin accusative/ablative "you" to imply Truth™ via argumentum ad populum. 🤪🤓

Ah, no. You want wine with that.

And little flavorless crackers, right?

It's in the next release.

Unfortunately there is no path forward without full uninstall, reinstall.
