@mboudry Thanks for posting this, Maarten! Do you know if it was recorded?

@TomasBogardus Got mine yesterday. I’m now halfway through. An hour ago I held the developmental pathway view, not anymore. I was fine thinking early embryos had no sex, but as you point out, given the authority of how biologists talk, that seems wrong. Thanks for helping me see this.

@PAHoyeck Probably 2 (gives Buddhist critiques of the traditional arguments for God), 4 (gives Buddhist presentation of the PoE and replies to defenses), or 8 (gives a Buddhist perspective on exclusives and pluralism).

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

@PAHoyeck This might not work given how fast you have to put it together. But for future reference Arvind Sharma’s Philosophy of Religion: A Buddhist Perspective does a great job this.

@chesscom Please bring back the self analyze feature. I really don’t like your new game review design.

@heirofdennett He thinks you pretty much already have. And, yes, yes…he’s aware physics posits timeless, spaceless “physical” stuff… He just thinks this stretches physicalism too thin so to speak 😉

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

@heirofdennett @McClureShawn I quickly wrote it back in 2018 after @rickygervais was talking about atheism on @colbertlateshow

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

@heirofdennett @McClureShawn Yes

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

@McClureShawn @heirofdennett This might help people figure this out.

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

This quick & rough taxonomy of atheism(s) might help you figure out what you are.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a God. It is not a belief system that says "men can give birth" or "skin tone determines life."

I'm an atheist and don't believe either of those things.

Woke nonsense ≠ atheism

@BassHodges @GorinMoti Yep, smart 🌽

[Greg Spendlove @gbspendlove]

@TomVMorris Happy Birthday, Tom! My wife and I are enjoying your new book with Gregory Bassham on Stoicism. Thanks for all your wonderful scholarship over the years!
