I saw that about the chemical weapons. Not confirmed yet by Western intel but very credible given the history of chemical weapons use by adjacent forces in the Iran-Iraq War and in the Syrian Civil War.
Oh, and it turns out Trump didn’t destroy all of Iran’s fissible nuclear material:

Okay, Enco, but we do all that shit in the present, which appears to have no duration whatsoever.
Notice the multiple tenses used in my sentences. Those couldn’t exist or mean anything without time. Not to mention observe all the choices available. Those couldn’t exist either in a wholly free will-free Universe.
It seems like…

It seems like everything we do is in a world defined by Zeno. You know, that paradox guy.

Fellow Unbelievers,
Meanwhile, real people have been, are now, and will persist in, baking loaves of bread of all varieties, white, wheat, split-top butter, cinnamon raisin, sourdough, and–in spite of everything–rye, pumpernickel, and bagels.
Some of us even make flat breads like tortillas, pitas, and naan. And once these are made, real…[Read more]

Also there are reports of chemical weapons and protestors dying a few days after exposure.
Reports of the regime intending a permanent blacklout. What is true i can’t say.

Unfortunately, last I heard last night, Trump is backing down on his “help is on the way” for Iran’s protesters, no doubt on the prompting of his Saudi and Qatari donors.
Also, the number of dead, whether formally executed or not, is as high as 20,000, and the numbers came out even before Trump announced he would help. Also, Supreme…[Read more]

I think it makes more sense if we consider a structure of the universe as being one of deterministic cause and effect. The proposal is that the universe, from start to finish, was formed in one go.

“The impact of the fall of the Iranian regime will be far bigger than most people realise. It will be a genuine “cut the head off the snake” moment.
Because once the Ayatollahs fall, the entire political ecosystem they’ve been propping up starts to collapse with them. It will instantly strip away, and I cannot…[Read more] -

It seems to me as an atheist that the presentist universe makes more sense because the block universe is far more compatible with the intelligent design view.
The notion that the big bang, the trillions of galaxies and septillions of planets, the inception and explosion of life forms on Earth or anywhere, the construction of the Pyramids and…[Read more]
