Informal, modern society understands it the way you do, the term is just different here on Lemmy lol.

This is my favorite visualization of how obscenely wealthy the mega rich are.
So you’re saying I can get there…
I guess my clothes look like shit, or I dress like a toddler.
The great thing about being an adult is I don’t have to give a fuck what others think about me.
Thanks! That’s a different way of looking at the problem that I hadn’t considered.
This is quickly becoming beyond my knowledge pool, but does this assume that all life is intrinsically linked to oxygen?
Earth has been quite obviously life-bearing for at least 2 billion years. We should have been wiped out long ago.
I believe the theory is that as civilizations broadcast a signal indicating life exists strong enough such that it is picked up by other civilizations, the dark forest theory applies. Essentially we haven’t broadcasted a signal loud enough to be picked up
Is that really what convinced people though?
Don’t imagine the folks with megaphones actually convert many folks.
Let’s be honest, Lemmy is not a good sample of the general population. We’re all atypical in one way or another, it makes sense that niche extremism concentrates here.
Over how much time?
Yeah, I’m not religious anymore, but in college I led a homeless outreach team for Christian students where we’d go downtown every week to provide food and friendship to the unhoused. The single most regularly attending person was sikh. The fact that she joined even though it was a different religion (we’d pray before and after the night) spoke volumes to me, and it made me respect the religion a lot. In fact, the thought that someone like her would technically not go to heaven simply due to believing in a different religion was one of the reasons why I stopped practicing.
I’ve always been taught that “good” Christians convert others by being so kind and generous that others ask “what drives them to be like that?” And that’s the proper way to proselytize. None of this preaching, damnation and hellfire stuff. Be a good and inspirational enough person that others will naturally be drawn to what drives you. It’s a shame that the loudest voices get the most attention.
Software to “make” 2d artistic images is much easier to develop than robots to do household tasks. Not that we don’t see advancements there either, for example robot vacuums are becoming more commonplace.
The design is very human
Righto, I have changed my comment to reflect your input.
