RE: Shinto

in Reflections11 days ago

Firstly, I am curious as to why you receive downvotes on posts like this. Is it some kind of personal feud? Honestly, downvotes shouldn't even exist. In my opinion, the healthy equivalent is to just ignore the other person. If you don't like something, just don't give it an audience, right?

Now about your post:
I greatly admire Eastern doctrines and philosophies. I haven't had time to study Shintoism yet, but I have a similar position to yours (atheism). However, in this sense, Shinto ends up sounding too "spiritual" for my taste, with the idea of these "spirits of nature, and everything being god." That's why I ended up delving deeper into Buddhism, especially Theravada, which is the "cleanest and most skeptical" of the doctrines, relying only on oneself for evolution, without beliefs, without god, without spirits. However, even Theravada has its problems and beliefs. I think my thing is scientific objectivism, pragmatism, etc.

Sort:  

On a different note, your KE ratio is above 8. Consider lowering it to below 3. Otherwise it will be difficult for you get any traction. You lower KE by powering up some Hive.

That was a valuable tip, man. Thank you very much. I confess that I had to do some research to understand what you are calling KE. And I was especially curious about where you found this information, that I am extracting more profit than donating knowledge, and I cannot deny it, but I justify myself by reinforcing what I have already said in other answers: I kind of NEED this money, otherwise I wouldn't be taking it, and this must have happened mainly because about a year ago I did a big power down, but since then I've been avoiding it, and I've even gone back to powering up every week, even if it's with the few coins I end up receiving. It is never my intention to be a freeloader here, so much so that I dedicate myself to writing real, lengthy, dense content that I think can add more than just minor distractions. Precisely to reinforce this idea of "knowledge."
It's a long journey, and little by little I'm settling in here. Thanks for the valuable tip!

Everyone can see it right here :)

It’s a setting at PeakD that one turns on. I have it on and that is the first thing I see regarding people, before I even see their names

Sorry for my naivety! LOL
I've been used to only using Ecency all these years, and I don't remember seeing anything like this there. Much of the information on Peakd is still new to me, and I need to dedicate myself to learning about it.

Downvote should absolutely exist. :)

I have no problem receiving votes, whether it is up or down. If I can receive upvote. why can't I receive downvote? I tell people vote as you want, just be ready for the consequences.

Thank you for your comment.
