I love my friend @jordanbpeterson but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with this position. Religion is profoundly important to most people, and there are clear evolutionary reasons for why we had evolved the instinct for religiosity. That said, the epistemology of science is fully and unequivocally decoupled from religion. Perhaps Jordan and I will address this issue in our next conversation. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, habibi.

Jordan Peterson drops a mind-bender: Atheism kills science itself. "With the death of God, many other things die... one of the things that dies when God dies is science—and no one expected that." Why? Science isn't neutral—it's built on unprovable religious-like axioms: - Truth exists - Truth is understandable - Understanding truth is good - Good itself is real Those aren't scientific claims. They're metaphysical. Strip away the foundation of "good" (and God), and the whole pursuit collapses. Peterson: The gap between believing in good and believing in God? "Very narrow." In a world obsessed with "facts only," is he right that pure atheism undermines the very enterprise of science? What do you think—does science secretly rest on faith?

Imagine going on a "date" and not kissing. That's not a date. That's your friend.

Personally I think it's good not to kiss on a first date, it moves things too quickly and doesn't give you enough time to process But agreed, most women will find it odd if you don't even try after date 2

Taking MDMA with your partner is cheaper than divorce and more effective than counseling.

"Gravity" is an obvious scam. They tell you that if you fling yourself off a cliff, you'll fall and go splat -- so you never fling yourself off a cliff, and never test the Gravity Theory. An obvious attempt to avoid falsification!
