@worst_account @GhostCoase Perhaps I let his defense of the Calvinist view that atheists are constitutionally defective (ie by lacking a properly functioning sensus divinitatis) overly rankle me. I find arguments that opponents have birth defects odious.

@dagradix @GhostCoase This is what I like about both him and G. A. Cohen, there's an honesty and seriousness in their work that's often absent in others.

@GhostCoase He’s good at what he does, but I absolutely loathe Plantinga’s work. It’s so obviously about defending his religious beliefs, some of which are trash.

@ZaidJilani Didn't they fire the first woman to lead 60 minutes - who also produced an award winning year - to bring in Weiss? lmfao

@PhilosopherJoeC Personally, I find the possible worlds semantics unhelpfully confusing in these kinds of questions. To your Q, if we assume God has these abilities, then sure. Thus you've ID'd a log possibility. How does this help settle anything beyond the possibility?

@dagradix Agent A, a coy libertarian is like us: he acts on his strongest all-things-considered desire, thinking he is sometimes free. Can't God just actualize all the worlds where a particular libertarian agent acts? Can't He also annihilate those worlds where A acts against his desire?

Which premise in this argument for compatibilism would you deny? 1. Anything that is not impossible can be actualized by God. 2. Ergo, God can create a coy libertarian, someone with the ability to do otherwise yet who always follows his strongest motive.

@PhilosopherJoeC If one doesn't believe the omni-omni-omni God exists, then P1 is false for them. "God" is a non-existent individual conceived as having literally inconceivably powers that thus seem impossible. In this kinda arg, God is a toy for setting up "What if this" Qs.

@yesnicksearcy @ggreenwald Los Angeles has used this format in mayoral elections for over one hundred years. It's not new. Separately, CA has used this format in other elections numerous times. It was Arnold Schwarzenegger who pushed for it in the Govs race and won through it.

You didn't answer my main point, because you can't. The Democrat party does not want to have the debate, and that's why they manufactured enough votes for Ramen to keep Pratt out,. The Party doesn't care about what the voters think, even their own. As long as Ramen or Bass wins, they keep their grift. Are you one of these people who thinks that CFA Democrats just changed the rules to a top two primary because they want to have fair elections and an honest debate? Do you think have a month to count votes because they are legitimately counting legal votes? If so, I have a great real estate deal for you.

Wrong, @ggreenwald. They don't want to have the debate. They can't afford to have someone like Pratt in the general because he would expose them. Bass and Ramen are interchangeable communist tools. It literally doesn't matter which one of them loses, because the party wins either way. And that's how communists roll. Wake up.
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald

The election fraud theories in LA make no sense for many reasons (obviously Karen Bass would prefer to face Pratt in a very blue city than another Democrat), but if you count votes this way, over weeks, when most of the world counts immediately, then you're inviting suspicions.

@maklelan Are atheists not allowed to criticize Christianity because they're not Christians? If so, are Christians not allowed to criticize Islam because they're not Muslims? Should it be a rule that you can't criticize others' beliefs unless you agree w them?

I'm not an atheist, but the lane switching here is quite clearly on the part of the person pretending God commanding genocide & explicitly calling for the murder of innocent children & even babies is a non-evil way to stop evil. Good lord is your worldview depraved.

@rbnmckenna86 Also, some of the quotes seem totally uncontroversial. What you know often depends on perspective and context? *Claims* to objective knowledge often assume non-objective positions? Like, okayyyy, this is what's destroying the humanities?

@rbnmckenna86 After a quick read over the section showing the evidence, it seems (i) not all of the quotes count as "relativism" in the sense defd in the footnote, and (ii) it's like the author just went hunting for quotes -- "Look, it's everywhere!"

One argument in this report is that relativism is responsible for the malaise in the humanities and social sciences. This manifestly fails as an explanation--much of the work in analytic philosophy that the report implicitly criticises is written from a realist perspective. 1/2

NEW: a report from Vanderbilt and WashU just dropped, taking on the "state of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences," a big topic among critics of higher ed. Read along w/ me 🧵

@worst_account @PAHoyeck Tangential: I liked Raymond Geuss' book Not Thinking Like A Liberal. Deneen seems mostly like an ideologue. By contrast, someone like Alvin Plantinga is both an ideologue *and* has interesting things to say (in epist. / logic).

@ZaidJilani Anyone who's read Aquinas would understand why God shouldn't/doesn't have gender. Of course, protestantism has allowed almost absolute freedom of interpretation. God can be big mad/sad sky daddy if that's what Christians want.

@ZaidJilani Christianity began by spreading into the Hellenistic world of the Levant, Anatolia, and the Aegean. It was developed with Hellenistic and Jewish religious concepts. This is part of why it was such a popular alternative to Roman religious views.

@PhilosopherJoeC So many things we argue about—sexuality, gender, athletics, etc, etc, etc…—come down to differences in what people are comfortable with. No matter what sys of mores/norms, some will be more, others less comfortable w things, & ppl will fight abt it.

@dagradix This makes sense. Any sex act one does not wish to perform is likely to seem disgusting! That is how desire works.

Why do you think I'm not weight evidence? What I'm doing is taking my lifetime study of the concept of responsibility and freedom and applying it to religious conflicts. The categorization of gay sex as a sin makes no sense IMO. It is not like the other examples.
