My heart goes out to both Iran and Israel. No one should die in the name of the supernatural—especially in a world that claims to be rational.

“The world plainly resembles more an animal or a vegetable than it does a watch or a knitting-loom.”
— Philo, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, Part VI

David Hume

Morality isn’t what saves us from collapse. It’s what makes surviving worth it.

Huge update in cosmology! Major issues with the standard BB model may now be resolved or reframed. We might’ve only had half the picture all along. For my theist friends, you may need to update the narrative: not ‘God created,’ but ‘God restarted’ the universe www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06...

Metaphysical claims without empirical grounding are just imagination in formal wear.

If you need a word game to defend your god, your god was never more than a word.

Reality is not negotiated through language; it’s revealed through observation.

Confusing language games for reality is how myths survive, not how truth is found.

The gods are dead — but truth, morality, and meaning live.
They live not because they are handed down from the heavens — but because we, conscious beings, build them, defend them, and live by them.

Entertaining a fallacy in debate is like allowing poison at a feast — it does not matter how elegant the banquet, the end is still death.

Freedom worthy of moral responsibility is not about metaphysical escape — it is about reflection within reality. It is about choosing, even while knowing we are not uncaused

True humility is not to deny the mind’s hunger for meaning, but to resist the urge to feed it falsehoods when the meal of certainty is not yet served

Order does not beg for an author; it only waits for a mind patient enough to see it without flinching

It is not weakness to confess uncertainty where knowledge ends. It is weakness to kneel before an answer merely because it is offered

From Pre-Socratics on form to Post-Socratics on humanity, from Hume’s empiricism to Harris’s consequentialism—what frontiers remain? We’ve reduced forms to neurons, yet will our descendants see even our deepest thoughts as mere prologue to their own revelations?

Philosophers are the intellectual polygamists of the mind—wedded to no single truth, but courting every idea that stirs the soul or splits the atom.
