    Autographed TFE Poster Project

    Some of you may already have heard about my poster project when I mentioned it on the thread about The Final Experiment. Well, I made an official announcement video that explains the whole thing, current status, and future plans etc. The video will premier tomorrow at 1pm EDT / 5pm UTC:

    Hello!

    Welcome! 😄 Someday when I finish my graphic novel you might enjoy it—it’s an epic sci-fi fantasy (but not dark fantasy).

    Why God Doesn’t Exist: The Truth Religion Won’t Tell You

    I don’t have a video addressing these points. The closest is this one, but I explicitly stated at the beginning of this video that “The point of this video is not to prove atheism wrong 
 simply sharing some core tenets of Christianity 
” I appreciate your positive words, but the point of...

    Why God Doesn’t Exist: The Truth Religion Won’t Tell You

    Oh my 
 I don’t want to be rude, but I have heard all the points in this video ad naseum. These are all the most standard, most repeated atheist talking points that I have heard most of my life and continue to have forced on me from every quarter on an almost daily basis—often with no good...

    Elton John unhappy about government letting AI use copyrighted music to create new works

    lol That’s my prediction and I am confident I won’t be proven wrong. I don’t know what to tell you 
 However the rest of your post does make me worry we are talking past each other and maybe you aren’t even getting the meaning of my prediction—so you may later see something that you think...

    Customers urged to report self-checkout thieves

    Slightly different topic, but I never quite understood the point behind coupons and discounts. If a company can afford to lower a price, just lower the price 
 why turn it into a game where it only applies to a subset of customers who perform an otherwise pointless task, which basically means...

    Customers urged to report self-checkout thieves

    Ah, you seem to be thinking not far from Biblical morality! 😉 I wish more professing Christians had your attitude. Oh boy, that won’t happen with me. Not because I’m afraid for my safety (although you certainly make a valid point), but because as an autistic person I am horrendously...

    Elton John unhappy about government letting AI use copyrighted music to create new works

    I’ll have to echo that. We have launched immediately into worldview topics, which is no real surprise. Basically, I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see. Just because the intelligence that humans have is somewhat ineffable, does not mean it’s reducible to anything resembling what AI...

    Should the death sentence be handed out for murder?

    It’s a pleasant (mild) surprise that we agree on that. In my understanding, the argument of “what’s the point of punishing” comes from that naive Secular Humanist view that I mentioned. In this view, the depraved part of human nature belongs in the same philosophical category as any other...

    Elton John unhappy about government letting AI use copyrighted music to create new works

    The difference is human thought and creativity. In art, “original” doesn’t mean “unlike anything that’s gone before;” it just means that some thought and work was put into it that inspires people and moves our cultural dialogue forward. Human beings have intelligence that AI fundamentally does...

    Should the death sentence be handed out for murder?

    I am going to answer this two ways (at least). In theory, it should be a pretty easy answer: So if I interpret your question to mean, “How would you order society according to the standards of right and wrong that you believe in,” that’s the ideal that I would say we should aim towards...

    Brits and Americans beware: Simon Goldberg on the loose!

    Thank you for sharing! Since it wasn’t a video of mine per se I guess I didn’t think about sharing it here 
 I’m glad you did 😊

    America’s Dying Legacy

    I have no interest in debating that topic, I’m afraid. Sorry if that’s disappointing. Even the non-debate polite discussions on it, I’ve already had a bit more of than my appetite tbh 
 It’s almost to the point I can create a playlist of them: Dapper Dino 👈 (this one was especially exhausting)...
