Henderik Verwoerd was stabbed to death on this day in 1966. Dimitri Tsafendas stabbed Verwoerd in the neck and chest four times before being subdued. Happy Tsafendas Day to all who celebrate.

Diabetes is now the leading cause of death in South Africa, overtaking HIV and TB, with experts warning that poor diets, limited screening and an unhealthy food environment are fuelling a crisis that could be prevented. https://t.co/NwnccVFLf6

@weston_vanell @morallawwithin I agree that nature cannot be good or evil. But I think good and evil are expressions of some intrinsic feeling we have towards some external thing. I think we both agree that they're ultimately both subjective.

@Chriss_m @Philip_Goff You're incorrect. Harris claims to solve the question of morality, watch any interview where he speaks about his book, you'll see what I'm referring to. You can't solve that question without addressing the literature about that very question.

[Yahya @YOURBOIAYANDA]

@Chriss_m @Philip_Goff Harris does not engage with the endless literature on moral philosophy. For serious moral philosophy read Parfit. Dawkins makes a good point but fails to realize that Aquinas addressed the point he was making and this shows he didn't read or understand Aquinas enough.

[Yahya @YOURBOIAYANDA]

@Chriss_m @Philip_Goff He demonstrates that Dawkins did not seriously read or understand Aquinas. And yes, Harris is weak not only on Philosophy, as he demonstrated in his book The Moral Landscale, he's also very weak on Politics as indicated in his exchange with Chomsky.

@Chriss_m @Philip_Goff by "their era" I mean the new atheists' era

[Yahya @YOURBOIAYANDA]

@Chriss_m @Philip_Goff I think the success you are referring won't and isn't being dismissed. What people are now realizing -after seriously engaging with philosophy- is that their era was intellectually very weak, as demonstrated by Alex in the clip.

[Yahya @YOURBOIAYANDA]

@KerriganHayes_ @Philip_Goff It's even more disheartening when you learn that Hitchens was once a leftist himself. Harris has always been a moron, as for Dawkins, he should stick to evolutionary biology. Dennet wasn't too bad tbf.

@saribble @vivelegabe No individual has ever accomplished anything of political significance alone. You're supposed to organize or join an organization
and organize even more.

[Yahya @YOURBOIAYANDA]

@saribble @vivelegabe Y'all in the west are the only people in the world that can stop the genocide, literally. Yes, you do have control over stopping anti-semitism but it's not the only thing over which you have control and it's certainly not the most important.

@EliGold20283142 @briebriejoy This is about what threatens capital. Making gay marriage legal does not threaten capital at all however, Medicare for all and programmes like the green new deal do threaten it, hence they are never going to be mainstream positions of the democrats. Capital is their constituency.
