    I always thought that if God exists, then God must be practically indistinguishable from science, as far as we’re concerned.

    Because you can’t tell me that any practically omnipotent being with a 50,000 IQ would deliberately choose to personally micromanage every cubic nanometer of the entire universe for every single Planck time of the duration of the entire universe that they’re creating.

    There’s no way that they would!

    As the old saying goes: Work smarter, not harder. This entity is going to create a series of clockwork laws for the universe to run by (physics), and then they’re going to let set laws do their thing, and then they’re going to stay out of the way.

    Ergo, to me God and science would be (for all practical purposes) indistinguishable from each other if God exists, just based on how the universe would be started in the first place.


  • If you’re single, you can more easily downsize your life as much as you need to in order to save money.

    I’m in my 40s and not single, but if I were, I’d be minimizing rent and expenses as much as I possibly could to get more money saved and invested.

    Hell, people do crazy creative things to avoid rent, like intentional vehicle dwelling, or stealth-staying in storage units due to that being way cheaper than rent. You don’t necessarily have to go that extreme, but most single people have more going out than they realize they do and have some areas they can trim.
