becket:
An Excerpt: If everything that we call heroism and glory, and all the significance of all great human achievements, can be reduced to some neurons firing in the human brain, then it’s all destined to be extinguished at death. And considering that the entire span of homo sapiens’ existence on earth wouldn’t even amount to a blip on the radar screen of a 5-billion-year-old universe, it...

Atheism As an Epistemic Hoot
“On your [Sam Harris’] account I am one set of complex chemical reactions secreting something that I falsely believe to be arguments to another set of complex chemical reactions who falsely believes that he is reading them … if you apply reason and self-criticism to an atheistic examination of ethics, you should discover within ten minutes that there aren’t any …...

"I Hope That's A Halloween Costume" →

Two Editorials In One! →
