I get asked this a lot because I choose to identify as a mythicist, even though I am not what a lot of people think of when they consider the mythicist position. Maybe I shouldn’t be using the term, but I’ll explain below why I do it and why I don’t really have a horse in this race.
There was another video put up with Paulogia and Matt Dillahunty and I think it’s time I explained it, once and for all. I’ll see you below the fold. Continue reading Did Jesus Exist?
So let’s dive into it. This was hysterical to watch. Continue reading They Still Don’t Get Evidence!
Remember when having an opinion was fine? Remember when people didn’t get mad, just because you didn’t agree with them?
That hasn’t happened for a very long time. Continue reading Stop the Planet, I Want to Get Off!
I had a conversation today that reminded me of another conversation that I had almost 20 years ago. Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense soon. The thing is, back in 2004, I thought this was an extreme reaction.
Now, it seems to be everywhere. What the hell is wrong with people today? Someone, please explain! Continue reading When Your Emotions Take Over Your Life!
I think this will be generally quick, but it illustrates exactly the point that I’ve made so many times before. There was a discussion, where someone wanted to know who has had direct, first-person experience with some of the far-left talking points in the real world. I figure the whole point was to show how it was all just hearsay and not experience, but it devolved very quickly, especially once I jumped in.
These people don’t know how to see what’s actually on the screen. They only see what they’ve been told is actually there! Continue reading Stop Seeing Only What You Want to See!
Let’s do another political post. Not too long ago, Florida passed a law that restricted things like Drag Queen Story Time and recently, a judge ruled that it violated free speech and therefore it can’t be put into practice.
I have some questions about that though. Are they really concerned about free speech, or is this just an attempt at childhood indoctrination? Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Is It Free Speech?
So this is off the top of my head, although I’ve been thinking about it a fair bit, but I just had a discussion with someone over the era of modern streaming and the writer’s strike and lots of stuff like that. How did we get here? Where are things going?
Here’s what I happen to think. Continue reading Where the Streaming Wars Go Wrong
This is completely off-topic, just because it came up yesterday, so enjoy the momentary lack of pointing out all things stupid, political and social.
Although this is kind of stupid if you think about it.
So, my mother died a couple of months ago. Yesterday, I finally got the paperwork for her life insurance in the mail. They’re obviously not in any hurry to pay out, not that I care. Except they kind of forgot one important detail…
Continue reading That Would Be a Helpful Detail, Wouldn’t It?
I’m doing a fair bit of stuff over here that should be on my other blog, but really, it probably belongs here because it’s addressing a lot of the idiotic social issues of the left.
CBR.com just put out an article on Amazon’s Rings of Power, where it virtue signals the whole way and shows that none of them have learned any lessons.
Why should anyone be surprised? Continue reading Watching Rings of Power Burn
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
