/hfy/ - The Church of Humanity

This board is for the discussion of humanity. Mainly I'd like to keep this centered around reality rather than fiction. So, while "humanity fuck yeah" is allowed, I'd prefer to keep it focused around reality rather than fiction, but some fiction isfine.

This board is for all those who have a spiritual reverence for our species and the divinity (both good and evil) that is within us and all the potential this opens to our species. If you feel the same way and seek to find likeminded people, then welcome.

For a general understanding of the philosophy see:

Other religions are welcome as well. We're all trying to find that divine spark and live according to our principles. And Atheists need not feel left out. An Atheist can feel proud of our species and still benefit mankind without religion. Science, reason, and advancement are necessary tools for our species to grow and understand our vast cosmos and all that is within it.

I'd also like to keep identity politics out of this whether they be /pol/ or SJW. Both have toxic elements within them that cause more unproductive infighting. That doesn't stop people from posting about politics or facts (yes, we know blacks commit more crimes per capita), but I'd rather not shove in those who are guilty of such things alongside the few who try to do good. He who stands with me in the name of a better humanity shall be my brother; whether they be black, white, Asian, or Christian, Muslim, even Atheist.

>When I was younger, a science teacher once mentioned that it had been proven that each generation of people become smarter, more aware, and more perceptive of the world around them than the preceding one.

That's patently false. If anything, I'd say the opposite is true. People often don't bother memorising things anymore, instead relying on search engines and other kinds of digital databases. The invention of personal computers, portable music players and smartphones has made us less aware of our surroundings, more alienated than ever from the world and the people around us.

>My work in the IT field has reinforced this concept. While the generation of the people that came before me in the IT field has demonstrated a specific level of knowledge and application, my own knowledge and experience dwarfs those.

That's just because the field was younger then. More knowledge doesn't equal more intelligence.

>We are, as a species, getting smarter with each passing generation.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I didn't bother reading further because this is stupid as fuck.

I'll be monitoring this board, I may not agree with the creator of this board on many grounds, but on him I can sense a strong spiritual will, a will to power that doesn't exist in the average man, and is in fact discouraged by modernity.

I cannot refute the existence of a divine energy pushing us forward as a species, for me personally though our quest is not about conquest of outer space but of our inner space, but I agree with the creator of this board such a force exists and manifests itself on human history, from time to time, right now it may be asleep but it will manifest again, to show us how to rebuild a human soul damaged by the forces of progress.
