I’m nihilistic so keep that bias in mind with the rest of this:
Life is a beautiful nightmare. Death is inevitable and worrying about it does nothing positive for you. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with accepting death before it comes 👍
Cherry picking verses is not the same as refuting an argument. The books say many things that are not practiced. In reality children are in fact taught to rely on supernatural powers.
To prove my point:
Say “Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector.” Let the believers, then, put all their trust in Allah. -Quran, 9:51
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” -Proverbs 3:5-6

Investors, and not just mega corporations, local investors are a major issue.
We have collectively come to understand the idea that you can get free money by buying houses and renting them out. If you talk to any lay person and ask them how they’d spend a million dollars the most common answer seems to be “buy property”
Our issue is in our collective minds, but the inertia of the idea means it will probably never be fixed unless there’s a catastrophe
Tldr; there’s a housing shortage because… there are not enough houses being built
One thing to consider, if this turned out to be accepted, it would make it much harder to prosecute actual csam, they could claim “ai generated” for actual images
