Not that this is a pissing contest, but as a recovering Catholic with a mom that sings at mass every Sunday and a Reagan-era republican father (who is also not rich AT ALL ) I can say that religion/family is the #1 reason why my eye twitches involuntarily sometimes.Cascade Whore wrote:Let's say for just a moment instead of having to unlearn past bad experiences from going to university, you had been raised ultra conservative and went to a bible college.

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
I think it would be fine for someone from the left to criticize the more extreme forms of SJW stupidity and create some distance between reasonable leftists and that kind of idiocy, but Bill Maher is neither reasonable, nor is he an actual leftist.

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
I just have a few words to say regarding that hateful, unsophisticated little imp Sam Harris, since I got into a verbal argument with one of his acolytes the other day, which is a thing that gets tossed out a lot to "prove" Sam Harris is a SUPAR SMERT INTELLIGANT MAN; he has a phd in cognitive neuroscience.
For the record: Cognitive neuroscience is a bunch of hacky bullshit which should not be confused with the legitimate science of neurology
Cognitive neuroscience is bascially putting people into fMRIs and asking them a bunch of questions and then drawing conclusions based on the images seen on the scan. It is an interdisciplinary study and people in this field come from a variety of backgrounds; Sam Harris had a M.A. in philosophy before he got into the cognitive neuroscience phd program. These people usually have an extremely simplified understanding of the brain.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuro ... yTfnUebLIU
Meta-studies show that the entire field is just an incoherent mess and the accumulated data cannot show a fucking insightful thing. How are you even going to control for other thoughts and emotions besides those related to your research question influencing the results of the fMRI?
http://www.amazon.com/Reliability-Cogni ... 0262018527
In conclusion, cognitive neuroscience is bascially phrenology 2.0, and is the ideological companion of evolutionary psychology, which is basically eugenics 2.0
Reactionary ideology wrapped in the trappings of sciences in an attempt to it look objective
Don't believe this stupid bullshit

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
Ben Affleck is right. Having directed Argo, with many Muslim cast and crew members, he probably knows a lot a people who are Muslims, so it's not surprising he gets emotional when Maher and Harris are spewing out their ignorant, hateful garbage about people he likes and considers friends. He's not as used to these kinds of debates as they are, and he stands his ground even though the two of them gang up on him with their shitty bullying. That PEW poll means fuck all. The most offensively stupid and least self-aware moment is when Bill Maher says "It's not when we do it!" Here is a good overview of Sam Harris and his irrational, dishonest bullshit:

Also, read the Harris/Chomsky e-mails to see what a morally bankrupt and intellectual lightweight that dumbass is

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
I listened to a skeptic podcast have a debate about evolutionary psychology. as a layman I got out of it the follows. :well. since we are basing our work on 'darwins theory'(he used this term) our science is a REAL science and thus totally obsoletes decades of social science that we will just ignore!

I don't mean blanket statement and shit on any teachers on here btw. But sadly the hack teachers that fed me bullshit I've slowly had to unlearn over the years have left a longer mark on me than the ones who actually taught me something useful.

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
Yet it's those same types of idiots who are now sucking Jordan Peterson's dick and he espouses the virtues of christianity as the foundation of western morality (while giving coy non answers when anyone asks him point blank if he believes in a literally god deity).Necrometer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:50 pmfucking New Atheismhipster holocaust wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2016 12:22 pmWas this written by you?How Are Mortiis Goatse?! wrote:http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Sam_Harris

Re: Bill Maher is a hack and a moron
I would love to hear some stories!
I am safe, and I can't even imagine how to tell them to escape.
I asked my friend "if TR is giving advice on how to improve your life & persevere, certainly he must've had a low point - what was that?" and my friend goes on about how TR struggled with getting busted for (1) tax evasion and (2) driving without a license. come the fuck on...
it seems like his expertise is in solving problems that don't exist. my friends have no apparent issues and obviously tons of money to burn - I think they are just bored. maybe if they had some hobbies they wouldn't need to join a cult.
