You are paying with your time though
I miss the old internet
Setting the moral discussion aside. I think Starmer will be worried that this will define his first term and absorb his ministers’ bandwidth as it is being implemented. He would have wanted to focus on the economy and his plans for “rebuilding” but that will get less oxygen in the media now.
Canada has gone too far in terms of who is eligible for assisted suicide in many people’s opinions. For example people who are mentally ill are able to request assisted suicide from the state.
Classy
Yeah this makes sense to me. I’ve got queer friends who are in a hetero marriage with one another.
As an outsider it seemed more like they had an image problem than an issue with their concrete policies. Obviously it could be both but I got a sense people believed the dems were out of touch.
Yeah he was on record last week saying it improved his grades as a student lol
Lazy article for sure but I don't think it's AI. Usually the LLMs have a cut off point when their most recent training material is from so they can't pontificate about stuff in the past few months.
All day long?
8th century Islamic scholars like Al-Ghazali made huge contributions to philosophy with their cosmological arguments for the existence of God. These are still discussed to this day in philosophy classes. In the grand scheme of things it’s only relatively recently that there has been this strain of iconoclasm and anti-intellectualism emerging amongst the most hardline islamists. It’s pretty similar to modern day evangelical christians. Seems strange to single them out.
Since we’re on the atheism subreddit I’d like to say personally I’m a hard agnostic. In the sense that I think it is impossible to prove definitively whether God exists or not. At the same time I don’t act like there is one because I’ve not yet been convinced by any theological argument. I think the new atheism movement led by Dawkins et al from the noughties made a mistake focusing on individual religions. Religions are essentially an anthropological curiousity and failing to attempt to understand them is a handicap with regards to trying to understand other human societies.
