@2Philosophical_ "The universe is too intelligible to exist without explanation," says the theist, before explaining it with an eternal disembodied super-intelligence that is apparently exempt from needing explanation itself. Amazing how complexity only stops being a problem once you call it God.

Here, I develop an argument according to which the intelligibility of nature and the effectiveness of mathematics, taken together, constitute non-trivial evidence for theism. 🔗⬇️

@hashjenni Jesus. How is it possible to be THIS economically illiterate?!

What Zohran Mamdani is doing is NOT EVEN SOCIALISM. You know what he's doing? He's showing what can be accomplished when the WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.

@darwintojesus Yeah, while "The first human was made when a supreme gaseous vertebrate breathed into a figure he made from dust" is obviously indicative of pristine mental health. 🙄🤡🤦‍♂️

@BobMurphyEcon Start here

I'm curious to hear what objections people have to this argument.

@PaulAnleitner As Steven Weinberg said:

Jordan Peterson’s role in changing the public conversation about religion is undeniable. The point he made here (2018) was arguably his most important. What sits atop the hierarchy of your values is your “God.” In this way, everyone is religious.

@hintz1980 Really? How so? It's certainly not because of anything said in that video...

I never took stock in Evolution. The theory is too flawed to be taught the way it is.

There is a huge difference between being credentialed and being educated, let alone broadly informed or generally intelligent. Don't confuse these things. Some of the biggest fools boast impressive credentials and make much of others' lack thereof.

@IAI_TV @drmichaellevin Yearning for skyhooks... Pathetic.

Though we’ve assumed that science has banished the transcendent and established that reality is entirely physical, there are now those who are restlessly probing the limits of materialism itself. | bit.ly/491WjTU Leading scientists @drmichaellevin, Lisa Feldman Barrett @LFeldmanBarrett, and @AdamFrank4 come together in this debate to ask: Is materialism holding science back?

@andwreo @blockhim2026 Yes, Soviet industrialisation happened. Good times. So did famines, shortages, secret police and economic stagnation so severe the system collapsed under its own weight.

@Louis_AsInKing_ @blockhim2026 While Soviet Union inherited a very poor country and in less that a century was in space. But of course it's because communism is evil and Stalin killed 40 trillions of people! Of course its "entirely" bcause of the ideology and not because the internal and external circumstances

Socialism is so sick I love when tax dollars go to schools instead of wars

@andwreo @blockhim2026 Markets & trade existed for millennia. What didn't exist was industrial capitalism: secure property rights, mass production, fossil energy, global trade & scientific progress compounding together. That combination produced the greatest collapse in extreme poverty in history.

@Louis_AsInKing_ @blockhim2026 And what are the similarities between market, trades and property rights? That they are al related to capitalism, all previous capital related systems where prototypes of the actual globalism. Your system is so good that for millennia couldn't solve poverty, hunger, homelessness

@sarahsalviander Unevolved intelligences aren't a thing.

What are the best arguments for God not existing? I'm not talking about defending a lack of belief by saying "there's no evidence for God," but strong arguments in favor of the statement "God doesn't exist." When I was an atheist, I didn't pursue these arguments, because to me it was just a given that all religion was false. It was the way I was raised, it was the environment I grew up in. Now that I'm on the other side, the vast majority of what I encounter (especially here) is extremely weak tea - lack of evidence, religion is dumb, haha magic sky fairy, which god do you believe in, etc. I'd like examples of strong, intellectual atheism. I'd also genuinely like to know why the vast majority of atheists on social media don't use these strong arguments, but instead rely on weak antagonistic stuff.

@hyzontopclipx The dumbest fucking shit ever. This is insanity.

Hunter Schafer reveals some CIS women she hooked up with specifically wanted her to f66k them and “perform like a man” because she’s trans and has d66k, sparking massive debate online about sexuality, gender roles, and what people are really attracted to behind closed doors 👀💔 “And i’ve had hookups before but like Cis women were… they wanted me to like f6k them like a guy and it’s because i have a d66k and then like that coming up in a hookup, im like Oh God 😔,… it’s tough but then you would find people who would just get it”👀👀

@FELibrary_ Read a damn book by an actual scientist. Stop learning what you know about evolution from other creationists. You just look dumb as hell.

@allegiantfaith Logic and reason aren't accepted on faith. They're descriptions of stable patterns (compressed regularities) in reality and thought (as real as atoms). We know they map onto something real because they let us predict, explain and manipulate the world with absurd precision.

Atheists in the comments don't seem to understand that science and history are built on faith. Faith in logic and reason. Invisible abstractions you can't test repeatedly in a lab. Without either, observations of the natural world imply nothing and mean nothing. What empirical proof do you have that logic and reason are real? I'll wait.

@andwreo @blockhim2026 Capitalism didn't create human misery, it inherited it. Poverty, famine & early death were the default condition of humanity for millennia. Markets, trade, property rights & industrialisation are what lifted billions out of it. Socialism's output? Shortages, stagnation & corpses.

@Louis_AsInKing_ @blockhim2026 So in your vision it's more intelligent to have vulnerable people dying in the streets in capitalist countries? Like 95% of the world? Why don't you elucidate us with a more attractive proposal with your supreme intellect?

@torinelsonart @MacDoesIt Oh, a knee-jerk Nazi reference in 2026. How original and devastating. I'll slink off and reconfigure my worldview.

@Louis_AsInKing_ @MacDoesIt Ernst Rohm-ass.

It’s time to be loud as fuck. Pride month starts now, goddamnit. Raise those flags HIGH and KEEP THE PARTY GOING. I’m radically pro-transgender AF and proud

@Tsar_Martyr That's projection.

Everyone who believes evolution believes it on faith

@HumbleFlow I just want science to be taught properly! That'll do more than anything else to bring about a world I want to live in.

Subjects that should be mandatory in schools: - Philosophy - Critical thinking - Problem-solving What would you add?

You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.

@EmoHobo @MacDoesIt That was in response to the scaremongering tactics.

@Louis_AsInKing_ @MacDoesIt You literally said you'd rather take your chances with them than cozy up to the parts of the community you don't like.
