No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Different religions represent fundamental-truths in different forms/ways.
Thoth was a hominid-shaped form for karma.
Thoth had 2 demands of the lives that Thoth judged:
AwakeSoulism/Buddhism did-away with the hominid/animal forms, representing the fundamental-forces/principles, but they kept the same fundamental-forces/principles.
Below human-category, lives don't have our diversity-of-senses, our considered-reasoning ( Kahneman System-2, from "Thinking Fast & Slow" ), & above human-category, sentience isn't so circumstance-constrained, or semi-helpless, as to warrant earning real-change.
( I accidentally earned previous-Soul-memories, of other kinds of lives, back in the 1990's, and when I discovered what those strange memories were, that nuked ALL the Abrahamic religions from objective-validity, and forced me into years of worldview-evolution, to meet/earn/hold-to the data/evidence.
Non-autistics just ignore the contradicting evidence, the way Scientism does, with its cartoon oversimplifications, but I'd rather be autistic me, than be any normal, any day or eon. )
Those 3 substances-of-mind are all "lighter than a feather", and therefore grant release-from-Soul-containment, when they are pure/absolute enough.
To simply "climb Jacob's Ladder", however, is a worthy accomplishment, itself!
Therefore, dying with a heart lighter than it had been before one's life, was earned improvement: evolution.
This should give the concept underlying Thoth.
Goddess Isis was simply their culture's representation for LivingSpirit, at one time.
Oh, this need be said: differentiate between the root-idea, vs the soap-opera-accretions that "society" asserts onto such ones..
E.g. for Hinduism to simultaneously hold that Shiva is
Logic prohibits those 2 from coinciding, but Hinduism's been disallowing logic, on that point, for many many centuries.
Learn to cut-out the accretions-of-guff from the original-principles, when they're still findable.
Another example of that same principle is:
Genesis, in the Abrahamic bible,
Women ate "the fruit of The Knowledge of Good & Evil", WHICH MEANS MORALITY,
& shared morality with men.
Male-culture's bullying, of course, deliberately altered the scripture in order to put jealousy in God's mouth, to justify accusing women of "eternal sin" in earning morality.
Altruism is generalized mothering.
Wasp-researchers from Bristol & Exeter universities, in Panama, discovered this.
AwakeSoulism/Buddhism declared it 25 consecutive centuries ago.
The proper reading of that story in Genesis shows it was originally in the root scripture, but got "graffitti'd" out by the male religion-authorities, through the past 12-ish millenia ( since the FLOOD which ended the last ice-age, drowning all the coastal civilization, now findable only through SCUBA diving, offshore, at 50' up-to 400' deep ).
Beware the contaminations, & especially beware when entire factions have their "identity" welded onto the deliberate-contamination, instead of the underlying Truth .. there you get the "religious" ideological/prejudice genocides, that the last few millenia have been filled-with.
I think you explained this for you, when usually one explains things so the other person can grasp it in a manageable way.
Ah yes, the obligatory representative of schizoteric teachings.
