Zelensky is an idiot.
He claimed that Ukraine is the heir of Kyivan Rus.

But such a state never existed!!!

Kyiv was always a part of state RUS.

People of Kyiv in the 10th centuries called themselves Rus, Rusins (pron. Russians).

“Kyivan Rus” is simply a term invented BY RUSSIANS in the 19th century.

Zelensky doesn’t know history or just lying?

Darwin uses the moral argument to argue for theism, as he's said.
You are pressing him, understandably so, to use the moral argument based on a Christian God and I think that's a good line of inquiry. You've invited him to criticism his own use of the moral argument.
I don't know how far that'll go.

@WilliamMcgibney Do you mean that historians prefer the name Middle Ages?

[darkprof @darkprof]

@NoDisassemble5 yes, but how ironic you've used AI to demonstrate this.

Trump supporter letting us know he won’t be reading 🫡

[darkprof @darkprof]

@WoosterJeeves2 @LatFilosof That might be. I'm not sure what I believe about morals.

I have to prepare for a conference but want to read about the moral argument instead.

@AlteredEggoEgo King Colitis.

[Make Lying Wrong Again @LyingWrongAgain]

So, it appears Elon lied about being ordered to throttle Ukraine’s access to Starlink

And Rubio lied about the administration’s ability to influence the decisions of a “private company”

They all lied.

As always, the only relevant question is why lie to us?

You can’t.

How do you reconcile “blessed are the meek”

with megachurch pastors flying private jets?

@MajinBuuPhiloso @LatFilosof Help me understand this, please: “If the god of Christianity exists, then it is an ontological impossibility that it exists”

[darkprof @darkprof]

@MajinBuuPhiloso @TrolleyDave1971 @LatFilosof I think I’m caught up. I understand your argument, I think, but Dan makes some annoyingly consistent points about the Moral Argument.

I’m thinking more about the internal critique, as you put it, it seems interesting enough, just not sure how much you get of it.

Another Mearsheimer fan. Their confidence is only rivaled by how wrong they are.

My youngest pitched 2 shutout innings with 5 strikeouts. Went 3/3 and showed excellent sportsmanship.

I like that last one most.

This is the area of Tahoe Basin which USFS wants to log and spray w glyphosate because they claim it “isn’t recovering” after Caldor Fire. The evidence shows otherwise. Stop the destruction. Protect/strengthen Roadless Areas. We need home/infrastructure hardening, not ecocide.

[darkprof @darkprof]

@LyingWrongAgain That tracks.

Likely explanation: Trump conspired w Elon to hamstring Ukraine’s Starlink in desperate & misguided attempt to lower oil prices ahead of voting; Elon orders it; Trump throws him under the bus

Most idiotic & least surprising thing ever https://t.co/inxzvoqkft
