This is incredible common, but here’s yet another example from The Atheist Experience where the hosts just don’t understand what the hell they’re doing wrong. It isn’t just Matt that used to pull this stuff, it’s a lot of them because I think there are people of a particular political persuasion who just can’t figure it out.
So let’s explore it. Continue reading They Can’t See What They’re Doing Wrong
So let’s talk about it.
BTW: He’s released a video explaining why it happened. You can see it here. Continue reading Adios Matt
I’ve seen a couple of videos and talked to a couple of people recently which pushed being calm and collected over getting mad at idiot theists.
Sure, that works in a certain subset of cases, but it certainly doesn’t work for all of them. So here’s my thinking on the whole thing. Continue reading Why Being Pissed Off Works… (sometimes)
There was another video from The Atheist Experience where, at least it sounds to me, that the left is entirely blinded to the things that they do, while being hyper-focused on what the right is doing.
That’s nothing new. I’ve pointed that out before, but the examples are blindingly easy to come up with. So let’s take a look.
I was thinking about this lately and it seems to me, especially when it comes to religion, but that’s not the only place it occurs, that far too many people completely misunderstand how logical syllogisms work. They seem to think that if you can put a three-line argument together, you’ve automatically won the debate.
Sorry, that’s not how it works at all. Therefore, I’m going to give a high-level overview of syllogisms and why so many people are using them completely wrong. Hope it helps. Continue reading Why Do People Misunderstand Philosophy?
I wound up in a discussion with a leftist today on racism. Well, it drifted a little to take in all of the classic “isms” that the left hates. I decided it was about time to blow his mind, especially since things weren’t going anywhere useful.
So I said I don’t care if people are racist. He didn’t react well. Continue reading I Don’t Care If You’re Racist!
I like Thomas Sowell in general, but even he has some problems, some blind spots that I think are endemic to social and political thinking and need to be pointed out.
Therefore, here I go, as I did in the comments on one of his videos, pointing out that it’s not just the left that have issues. The right is every bit as bad. Continue reading Where I Disagree with Thomas Sowell
This is a short one, but I came across a video on YouTube and find the answer provided to be ridiculously wrong. It just goes to show how poorly most people, even professional mathematicians, are at critical thinking.
So let’s get through it. Continue reading Stupid Math Answer
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s just hysterical to watch it happen time and time again. The left has an infamously short memory and they simply forget when they do stupid things, while pointing out all of the stupid things done by the right.
These people just aren’t that bright! Continue reading The Ridiculous Blindness of the Left
We’ve been having a long, long discussion in a thread titled “Does today’s generation “see/understand” TV and movies differently?” and it’s not going well for the young. It started off simply enough, as I’ll explain below the fold and then it devolved into dumb kids without the basic understanding of reality that anyone pretending to be an adult ought to have.
Why am I not surprised? Continue reading The Problem With the Young
