I like that commercial Enco. Way too low a target audience though.

I think what you are really saying is it would be better if orthodox everything were not orthodox anything. For sure. Cant put em in reeducation camps so the stupidity flows and recirculates generation after generation.

Leave em alone though? I don’t know man. In Israel at least…[Read more]

Here is lady Solomon Wilf with her plan.

Not just outside the box.

Enco,

You pseudobulbarred me. There goes my uncontrollable echolalia.

I ordered her book on the Muslim Brotherhood. So you can expect an explanation if she gives one.

If the Orthodox don’t want to fight or be in the IDF it might be that they consider themselves above the fray. Entitled. Privileged. Deluded in thinking their role is important…[Read more]

@Enco – You made me search for it so here you go 🙂

I wonder if cannibalism had a role in extinction of our relatives.

As to its prevalence i think it is not common but beyond exigent circumstances like the Donner Party, Communist Revolution in China and i am sure many others it has been practiced ritualistically. New Guinea for sure. I think i read Commanches did. And some South American…[Read more]

Enco,

Cannibalism is ok as long as you eat the liver with fava beans and a good chianti.

Good thing a wide swathe of ideologues won’t judge cuz cultures are relative and the hell with the victims. They just shuffled the deck and some end in the relative out-house of cultures. Besides they make up for it and put Israel on a pedestal so that their…[Read more]

can philosophy become more scientific without confusing logical certainty with empirical truth?

I would not go near AI to help me with philosophy, beyond a Google search result.  But if people do want to use it, I can see uses for it – checking reasoning, for example.

I think there should be two tasks, done by…[Read more]

Scene description:

Three members of Muslim Brotherhood are breaking bread and regaling each other with tales of their recent exploits.

Achmed says “Yeah so i heard how you two were part of the gang rape of the infidel’s wife and the slaughter of the infidel. And you took his two daughters as slaves. What i want to know is whether you ate the…[Read more]

That’s an interesting way of looking at it.  Michael Tomasello, for example, is someone who does a lot of philosophy referring to a lot of experimental results.  That’s why I trust his ideas enough to give them the time o…[Read more]

Have a great week! The first video Bad Faith 2026 is very good. Christian Persecution in America is the intolerable injustice of Christians being subjected to the same rules as everybody else.

Atheism, n. The refusal to surrender one’s sense of humor to an imaginary audience.

Good work there Enco.

“This place sure gone crazy!”

The jew hating frenzy is indicative of a very fucked up world. Perhaps it is cuz when scapegoating is at its nadir or zenith depending on perspective that is when the greatest social upheavals are fueled by rage. Human nature when shit goes south to seek someone or something to blame. Ya see…[Read more]

It’s a point of view.  I recognise some of it.

I was only 2/5’s listening to the critique but what i heard was shameful and lazy and BS.

Beyond Belief – New atheism

I will now be deleting the files from my web space.

I’ve transferred the two .mp3 files of BBC Radio 4 programmes, to my DropBox account because they were eating up my bandwidth and breaking my fair usage policy.

So, the same files are available at DropBox:

The third man syndrome

Enco, I like the stuff about “debate culture”.  New Atheism has been good for that.

Sorry, fixed:

Here’s a programme that was on BBC Radio 4 the other day: “New Atheism”.

What do you mean by “thorough and satisfactorily.” How do you determine it is satisfactory. What makes your interpretation of human behavior better than another? Those questions involve reasoning about evidence, explanatory adequacy and competing hypotheses.

A good example is conceptions of fairness, how it evo…[Read more]
