I have had more than one conversation about this recently and this is kind of a “why I really dislike a lot of philosophers” thing. They are looking for things that just aren’t real. It comes off a lot like religion, which I think is a very similar mindset.
When you’re talking about the real world, I care only about the “HOW” of things. How did things happen? What processes came about to make the thing that happened possible? They only care about the “WHY?” The supposed larger “reason” behind it all.
What if there is no reason though? That’s where it all breaks down. Continue reading I Don’t Care About the “WHY”!
Yesterday, Matt Dillahunty put up a video on his channel where is pulled his standard political whiny nonsense, the same stuff that I’ve pointed out many times in the past, and, amazingly, his entire comment section lit up and most people were saying the same thing that I’ve been saying for years!
I’ve started to get rid of YouTube channels that can’t stick to a single topic. There are a number of atheist channels that have started producing a ton of political content.
I’m not surprised, but after all the crap that I’ve had to go through to get this stupid truck registered this year, all of the garbage standing in my way that is 100% the fault of the State of California, this crap happens again.
This was going to be another “they’re doing it too!” post, but honestly, what’s the point of that? Both sides just suck.
I was thinking about making a video on this, who knows, I still might, but I wound up having a discussion on free will and I spent the whole time rolling my eyes. I have no idea what the true position of the free will denier was, he was kind of vague about the whole thing, but he kept saying that we couldn’t have free will because… reasons.
This is another thing that just makes me shake my head. So my wife’s parents both died about 2 years ago. A couple of months ago, we got a letter from California’s Franchise Tax Board asking for copies of their taxes from, I think, 2021.
I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately on this, and today, Godless Engineer put up a video, where in the thumbnail, it says “This Caller is Obviously Morally Bankrupt!”
This goes for both sides of just about any issue these days, although it’s most easily seen at the extremes. They are all doing the same thing, pretty much for the same reasons, then pointing fingers at everyone else and calling them hypocrites.
