...in coles notes form.
- US gun culture is ridiculous, and without merit. Gun regulation is absolutely essential.
- Atheism is just another theism, only opposite from christianity in the same way than islam or judaism are. Belief that there is no god, is not a lack of belief, it is belief. Agnosticism is the only labelled philosophy that espouses a complete lack of belief, unless you would consider pragmatism in the debate.
- Evolution does not, and cannot, explain how life emerged from no life, nor does it explain the creation of a new species in a satisfactory way. There is a lot more to learn, I believe.
- There are no other universes, aliens, ghosts, time travel, psychic ability, wormholes, blackholes do not lead anywhere, nor is there proof of their existence, nor is there proof of the big bang, dark matter, or quantum physics theory that a particle only decides what to be, and where, when observed. Particles are not sentient, nor do they care about sentience.
- M9U8-6HQN-U9HB-4RCN
- The strength of the meme of there being an omnipotent creator exists because we ourselves are created, and create. The concept of the universe beginning is juvenile, and assumes that because things we observe begin and end, that everything else must as well.
- Culture largely exists to distract us from our mortality. We are the only creatures with true culture, and we are the only creatures that are self-aware. This is why other cultures seem so strange to us, and the absurdity of the rituals and rites we practice comes into focus when they are not part of a system we grew up in.
- In terms of weight loss, the entire industry relies on the deceitful lie that a healthy weight is a goal. A healthy weight, just like every other weight, is nothing more than an output of your lifes equation. If you eat terribly, and do not get exercise, you will get fat/unhealthy. If you eat well/exercise, you will get fitter. Changing one's weight requires a change in lifestyle, and ALL results are temporary if you revert to past unhealthy equations.
- System Shock II is not as good as you remember it.
- The sale of Bioware to EA ruined Mass Effect (franchise).
- Life is too short to not do a little random, unsolicited good for someone for no reason other than improving our collective lot.
