I’ve been doing a lot of re-evaluating lately, especially the social media that I consume. I’ve always recognized that there were problems with the YouTube channels that I watched and the social media platforms I perused because most of them are very openly biased. They have views that aren’t especially honest. They are based, in one way or another, on what they really want to be true.
I want to change it but I don’t know that I have a lot of options. Continue reading Tired of Unjustified Bias
The more I talk to atheists, the dumber a lot of them are. Yes, I said atheists. Just because you reject belief in a god, that doesn’t necessarily make you a rational individual.
That happened again today, so I wanted to take a couple of minutes to explain. This is not at all unusual. These people really have no clue what they’re doing wrong. Continue reading Atheists Aren’t Much Smarter
So let’s dive into it. This was hysterical to watch. Continue reading They Still Don’t Get Evidence!
I was just having a conversation with someone who is convinced that the Dunning-Kruger effect does not accurately describe how things work in the real world. He went back and pointed out the original paper, written by David Dunning and Justin Kruger, which showed that while poor performers on tests did overestimate their own performance, it wasn’t the standard graph that we see all the time.
That is true, although David Dunning later published another study which got a lot closer to the common graph. So is the classical graph really accurate? Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Understanding the Dunning-Kruger Effect
I’m going to take an entirely irrelevant example that I came across on Reddit to show just what is wrong with humanity. I trust nobody is going to be surprised in the end. This is a completely throw-away example, but I think it illustrates the point.
People are really, really dumb. Continue reading This is Why People are Stupid
This is a case that I just ran into, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I just don’t want people to accuse me of being against religion per se or against politics per se. I am against stupidity, full stop.
So here we go again. Continue reading People Just Want to be Stupid
It’s really sad how many examples of this I can come up with, but Rationality Rules does it again. The video is linked below, it’s long, so you can watch it or not at your leisure, but it’s just one more place where you get a leftist who points at the Christian, accuses them of being wrong and then goes on to do the exact same thing on their own side.
Why are we never surprised by this? Continue reading Here Comes Another One!
So here we go. Continue reading Unrealistic Expectations
So, some idiot showed up on a random subreddit with a bunch of test results proving that he was a hate-filled bigot. Yes, it was a troll, but I went back to the site that he was using to take these tests and decided to take a couple, just for fun.
It only proved that so many of these online tests are such a waste of time because they are judged by an absurd standard. Continue reading Am I a Racist?
I’ve been seeing a lot of atheists online saying this lately and, sadly, they’re just wrong. Culture doesn’t matter. Just because you grow up in a particular culture, that doesn’t make that culture magically true, relevant, or anything else. Just because you’re emotionally comforted by your culture, that doesn’t matter, any more than being emotionally comforted by your religion does.
Rent a clue and join actual reality. Continue reading Culture Doesn’t Matter Either
