    The concept of cultural appropriation is mostly bullshit. Almost every single behavior and action every person takes is richly informed by multiple cultures, whether it language, clothes, food, or beliefs.

    I think the term only makes sense if it’s done in a disrespectful way, e.g. cracking a joke or wearing a sacred ceremonial headress to a frat party.

    But otherwise no culture “owns” any behavior or idea.












  • Your definition of atheism is not my experience with pretty much every atheist I’ve ever met. It’s not absense of belief, but belief that God doesn’t exist. There was never anything nuanced about the definition.

    Now we can say absense of belief for the sake of discussion, but then it becomes an issue of semantics, as there is overlap with agnosticism. But it doesn’t match my experience at all. Most atheists will call you names for suggesting anything but the idea that the laws of physics are a complete description of reality. Teenage edgelords mainly.

    My headcanon is that The Real has a different set of physical laws than our current reality, and humans naturally generate some sort of biomorphic field that can be stored and used to power things. It would explain why Neo was able to stop enemies with his mind there. Another option is that it’s just another layer of the simulation, and the architect did a poor job at writing the narrative.
