Philosophy doesn't happen wearing togas. Sometimes it happens when I'm posting hideous jiu-jitsu flab selfies.

If only able to choose one of the following, which would you choose? a) Capitalism such as would make Robert Nozick happy b) Capitalism with a decent social welfare network c) Socialism for the rich d) Whatever it is we have now

'Jesus never existed' works better if you pretend people have only just started asserting that he did exists rather than (as is the case) sensibly assuming that he existed for centuries. I mean, it's still a silly claim, but props for effort I guess

GeeorgeStyles @geeorgestyles.bsky.social · 08/01/2024

Jesus existed - that's the best explanation of the available evidence.

Can a country or other similar political entity that has a lot of money, a strong military, and a nifty flag, get those things without seeing people as expendable at some point?

Who is smarter overall? a) A logical and emotional person? b) A smart emotional person? c) A smart person who thinks they're not at all emotional? d) A pineapple?

Which question is more coherent? a) Which has more cognitive biases in it, emotion or logic? b) Which looks better in a big frilly hat, emotion or logic?

"For everything you value in your life, was it you, 100% without any influence, who completely determined what was valuable to you and what was not?" (Characteristic redundancy from George here. Does anyone out there value things *not* in their life?)

Just had someone do the 'offscreen genius' at me. If thats not the nane of a popular logical fallacy, it might as well be...

Why would it be good to be 'a unique thinker', if the people youre trying to be different to are right?

For those of you* saying China "made the virus and purposely released it", are you aware of the similarity of your reasoning and that of my fellow-Styles George when he says "Jesus never existed" ? * assuming that's any of you. I dont know.

The Onion would like to congratulate its owner, G/O Media, for standing firm in its return-to-office mandate, as we can think of nowhere more conducive to best-in-class thought leadership than a fluorescent-lit room populated with the abandoned desks of terminated colleagues.

GeeorgeStyles @geeorgestyles.bsky.social · 05/01/2024

Most of human history is just humans living like miserable shit. Apart from the times people have been admirable and kind. Odd that religion has been right in there beside all of that... Just as odd, music and art have bern right in there beside all of that... (Also trees...)

Is there a place in Hell for people who say silly lazy stuff about history? If so, can you get the History Channel there?

Jesus existed, but thats no big deal. A lot of people did that.

Once upon a time, I woke up and realized I wondered why the human race isn't more concerned about mental health... Then, realizing I was packed tight in a room with something else, I looked over and saw a cumbersome analogy...

If Jesus really existed, why hasn't He made my guitar-playing less dorky?

Everything you do is biology; mid-life crisis, making stuff up about history, using BioChem as an alibi for insecurity, posting narcissistic workout selfies...all of it is is BIOLOGY and you dont get a choice, I dont make the rules* * well I just did, but I didnt have a choice

There's nothing more annoying than a self-proclaimed contrarian who is polluted with confirmation bias. I like my self-proclaimed contrarians pure and unsullied, bias-wise

So, I am still pretending to wait for people to detail for us how a linear, single-stranded RNA genome virus can be generated in a SARS lab from a negative-sense, segmented RNA genome virus... (I actually know the answer because of Biology)

In a world of data and knowledge, beliefs are about as relevant as a room-sized vacuum tube calculator in a world full of handheld microchip-based computers, with the exception of my beliefs which are all rock-solid FACTS

Is asking people to choose between 'people in the service industry and blue collar workers' and 'religion' for trustworthiness a bizarre false dichotomy ?

How many people were praying for the other side and how devout were they?

Are you always correct each and every time you get a gut feeling about anything and everything? Also, does anyone ever have ' a gut feeling about anything and everything'? Dunno about the rest of you, but my gut feelings are always about specific siuations/ people etc.

Is there any point demanding that anti-vaxxers read a sciencedirect paper? My feeling is that if they did bother to read it, they'd just misinterpret it and feel more 'I'vE dOne mY oWn reAsearcH' confidence, but what do you tjink?

"When looking for evidence, I only select the sources that I consider evidence, and ignore any others, because I know who and what will be lying to me." Asking for a yes/no answer to this is silly. Hands up everyone who uses sources they don't consider evidence as evidence!

Does anyone not have 'coping mechanisms'? Is it a bad thing to have them?

If George is going to formulate questions this sloppily, he should include a 'define your terms' or 'what on earth are you talking about?' Option 'Real existence'?

Due to popular demand.... Jesus existed, and George Styles readons and argues like a Creationist / anti-vaxxer when he argues* otherwise

GeeorgeStyles @geeorgestyles.bsky.social · 03/01/2024

If you spent a lot of time on social media criticizing anti-vaxxers and creationists, would you try not to use the same flawed arguments and approach to evidence that they use when you opine on other topics?
