@auntiemamer@Christo82288231 @Hitch_Slapping It was in one of his speeches defending the right to free expression, in possibly one of his most potent addresses.

@TheGStanley @ImBuffet @Hitch_Slapping Two very distinct arguments:
1. Is religion useful
2. Is God real
You can argue to have religion as a sort of framework for society,
but in no way proves that there is someone who listens to you prayers or cares about what you eat.
@TheGStanley @ImBuffet @Hitch_Slapping You have the odd feat of typing a lot without actually saying anything.
Take out your God And you will find life and all it's struggles and happiness will carry on the same way.
@NeoBactrian Listen to this and then go watch David Foster Wallace or Christopher Hitchens speak and how they articulate their messages so eloquently, commanding the English language. Something to cherish.
@elonmusk@lexfridman All right, then, because it might make us feel better, let’s pretend the opposite. Instead, you’ll get tapped on the shoulder and told, Great news: this party’s going on forever and you can’t leave. You have to stay; the boss says so. And he insists that you have a good time.
@elonmusk@lexfridman It will happen to all of us, that at some point you get tapped on the shoulder and told, not just that the party’s over, but slightly worse: the party’s going on but you have to leave. And it’s going on without you. that I think most upsets people about their demise. 1/2
@lexfridman@elonmusk There is a utilitarian case for free expression. It recognizes that the freedom to speak must also be insisted on for the person who thinks differently, because it is pointless to support only free speech for people who agree with you. We need to know how other people think.
@elonmusk@KimDotcom@SamHarrisOrg Invoking your own personal circumstances in an attempt to gain sympathy in an argument/ appealing to emotion is a logical fallacy. I don't have to agree with Alex Jones, but we should have the right to listen to him. free speech only matters...
