I wanted to take a second to point out some of the more recent examples and why, they’re just not getting the job done. Continue reading Stupid Comments

Is Philosophy Pointless?
This came up recently in a couple of other posts where I and a philosopher have been having a long, rambling discussion that’s had trouble sticking to a single point. That can be fun on occasion so I don’t mind a bit of meandering but one thing that I’ve noticed, and this isn’t meant to belittle my opponent, but they seem to be reacting in much the same way that I see with a lot of theists. “You just don’t understand!” Yet they seem incapable of just pointing out what I don’t understand, even though I’ve asked on several occasions, but more important than that, they don’t seem to be able to explain, in detail, *WHY* I’m supposedly wrong. Present your evidence and that doesn’t seem to be happening.
So I wanted to take a couple of minutes to talk about it, not in terms of that discussion, but about philosophy as a whole. Continue reading Is Philosophy Pointless?
Metaphysics is Bullshit
It might be because I’ve been talking a lot about philosophy lately, but I’ve been getting into a lot of philosophical discussions, sometimes from a theological bent. Whenever I question the validity of the supernatural or miracles or anything like that, I’m likely to get a claim of “but metaphysics!”
Sorry, metaphysics is bullshit. Continue reading Metaphysics is Bullshit
The Rank Stupidity of Veganism
I find it very difficult to even watch so-called “vegan” content because the underlying assumptions made are just ludicrous IMO. Why? Because it’s all based on people’s fee-fees and as anyone who has watched my videos knows, I don’t give a damn about your feelings, only your facts. Any argument made on the basis of “but it makes me unhappy!” is just bullshit. I absolutely don’t care, which is why things like “ethical veganism” just make me roll my eyes. That’s why I decided to take a look at an article online trying to defend it and point out all of the places that it’s just ridiculously wrong. Continue reading The Rank Stupidity of Veganism
It Can’t Be That Hard!
I’ve been having a couple of different conversations of late but two in particular seem to dovetail nicely. First, there was one with a theist who insisted that we had to take things like the laws of logic on blind faith and secondly, one going on over on my YouTube channel right now with a philosopher who seems very self-satisfied that philosophy is the end-all-be-all of human intellect.
Come on people, it’s not difficult to figure out what’s actually going on! Continue reading It Can’t Be That Hard!
That’s Not How Free Speech Works
There’s a story going around out there, something about a school where one kid identified as non-binary and requested that everyone use “they/them” pronouns and when some kids refused to comply, people started talking about filing charges.
Yeah, fuck you. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading That’s Not How Free Speech Works
I Actually Had This Conversation
Last night, I had this conversation with a theist. It didn’t start off as a theistic discussion, it was about death with dignity and I had no clue it was with a theist when I started, but it all ties together nicely and shows just how clueless the religious actually are.
They’ve got some fundamental problems upstairs. Let’s go take a look. Continue reading I Actually Had This Conversation
I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!
I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.
I certainly can sympathize with that, there are plenty of things that I’d love to do that I can’t. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s life and you need to have realistic expectations and, sadly, this guy simply didn’t. Continue reading I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!
Let’s Talk Abortion
This has come up several times in recent weeks for obvious reasons and I’ve been hesitant to talk about it over on YouTube. In fact, I specifically asked Patreon backers if I should talk about politics and social issues on the channel and almost universally, I was told no.
Therefore, I’m going to do it here. See you below the fold. Continue reading Let’s Talk Abortion
It’s Hard Being a Conservative Atheist!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and frankly, I’m out of people to vote for. There’s an election coming up in a couple of weeks and, at the moment, I don’t think I can vote for anyone on the ballot in good conscience.
Things have gotten really, really bad lately. Continue reading It’s Hard Being a Conservative Atheist!
