@theajennda Probably. 😄

@darwintojesus And that isn't even counting the ample fine-tuning we observe, or the virtual impossibility of abiogenesis.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@darwintojesus I think a good translation of that quote is, "If the universe has no meaning, it wouldn't (or perhaps, couldn't) engineer highly sentient organisms with the ability to comprehend it."

That's one reason why I'm a theist. There's just too much "needless" engineering going on.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@SleepRebellion @seanonolennon Also, no more superhero soap operas. Studios should know when to end a story.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@SleepRebellion @seanonolennon My opinion is that fantasy in film isn't itself problematic, but the genre needs a revolution, a revitalization, with fewer generic, dime-a-dozen superhero movies, and more fresh ideas or unique IPs adapted to the big screen.

Originality and quality over greed and quantity.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@ElChandler Always.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@theajennda He'd probably discuss faith and food, while telling stories from his travels and responding to viewer questions.

Of course, he's a highly proficient fighter, but I just don't see him focusing the bulk of his channel on that one, particular aspect of his life.

@DetWha Many were brutalized for one reason or another, often pointlessly, due to shifting standards of right and wrong, which clashes with the modern humanistic notion that morality is at least quasi-objective. Long story short, if I were a nonbeliever, I'd be a nihilist. (2/2)

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@DetWha One of my gripes with mainstream atheism is that it speaks as if there's this objective source of morality without being able to account for such a source. They also ignore that, to a significant extent, morals haven't been all that static over the centuries. (1/2)

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@seanonolennon The problem is that big studios don't care about quality; they only care about making money. Another issue is that fresh ideas/franchises are out there, but almost everyone wants to play it safe. Hence, the innumerable sequels and remakes, and the lack of new content.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@EliasToufexis "All the lonely people, where do they all come from?" is one of my favorite lines. Though the entirety of Eleanor Rigby is a masterpiece, and I'm not sure if I have an absolute favorite line of all time.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@ElChandler Writing long and complicated books can be just as enjoyable as reading them. My first novel was standard length, at around 80,000 words, with a more straightforward plot. But when I got to its sequel, it ended up being around 262,000 words long, and way more complex.

It was fun.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

While writing my latest Living Weapons story, I came up with yet another creature of horror that inhabits the world my characters call home.

But it isn't a standard creature of horror, and that's largely why I love it so much.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@TiagoRResende The exclusionary/transactional nature of the beast is what led me to distance myself from those communities sometime last year. Of course, I love interacting with other authors and do so regularly. But I want interactions to be genuine, so I interact on a more individual level.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@TiagoRResende With indie author communities, I don't think they're about traditional hate, generally. But I think they're prone to promoting a false sense of camaraderie while devolving into closed-off circles and cliques.

In other words, there's the community, and then there's THE community.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

@seanonolennon It beats out "irregardless," that's for sure.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

The U.S. is run by criminals, fighting an illegal war on behalf of an ungodly foreign power, with inflation through the roof, and millions of Americans struggling just to survive.

But despite all that, the birth of JD Vance's son is supposed to be front-page news.

Ridiculous.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

Few things say, "Our country is run by criminals," more than an aging senator with a history of health problems, who is said to be alive and well, despite a mysterious, long-term absence, and a refusal to make any public appearances to dispel rumors of ill health or death.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

But then again, their father is also petty, seeking to rule a creation he can never call his, while actively despising it, spreading death and destruction whenever possible.

So, perhaps their behavior does make a great deal of sense, despite it being irrational.

[Landon Freeman @Landonauthor]

Imagine being so petty, that even with millions or billions at your disposal, with everything you could ever want, and virtually zero worries, you still choose to make everyone else's lives miserable, just...because.

The puppet masters aren't as rational as they might think.
