WOTM: Religion Makes Philosophers Stupid, Part I
Hey Gang! I hope everyone had a great holiday (where applicable). As promised, we have our deep dive into Philosopher Phillip Goff's recent con...version to Christianity. There are three parts to this series, and they're all quite a bit longer than my usual videos. Which has put me a bit behind the eight ball in terms of getting everything posted here on time tonight.
Because of that, I won't be writing as much as usual. But I'm curious to know if youz guyz like these longer videos, or prefer the 4-6 minute videos I've been producing regularly(?). Got some pushback on that over on YouTube last month and now I'm dying to know what you think. Although, I will probably survive.
If you don't know, Phillip Goff considered himself an Atheist/Panpsychist philosopher prior to his recent con...version. As you'll see, he's barely a Christian, if at all. I actually might be more of a Christian than he is. But mostly because I look so much like Jesus, and act like him all the time. I just cast a bunch of demons into a raccoon family in the neighborhood. They're okay though. They didn't drown.
Anyway, forgive my lack of elaboration in the coming posts. I still have three more videos to finish. Yikes!!! Thank you all so much for your continued support. Now, enjoy damnit!!! I command it! B

Personally, I think 8-10 minute videos are perfectly fine. Heck, they’re still a breeze to digest compared to the many 30-90 minute long videos from other creators!
Believe it or not, there are some videos I watch — mostly heavy philosophy videos, that are hours long. I think the longest one was over four hours. But I listen to it over the course of days. It's getting a little ridiculous!
"Being spiritual . . . is hard to sustain . . . " well duh. That's because it isn't connected to reality and is so very stupid.
I love this comment so much!!!! We clearly have some kind of quantum connection in our thinking. ♥️
I don't understand why these people thrash about insisting "There must be a god, there must be." It is almost as if some god has something over them! Think about it, a Mafia God!
That is exactly what God is. "That's a nice eternity you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it."
I like the longer videos more.
C'mon, Goff: Just throw out the booby with that wrathwater.
Good ole strip mall christianity.
I prefer the 4 to 6 minute videos.
Again, arguments! A soupcon of proof/evidence would be nice!
What he spouts is not philosophy. It's not even critical thinking. Hell, it's not thinking at all - - it's going by the feels, whittling god down to a size and shape that you can digest, and pretending that's the god who actually exists.
The fine tuning argument always reminds me of Douglas Adams's puddle analogy. Go, Devils! 👹
I prefer the 4-6 min videos ( with a slightly longer screen time of the interjected words).
