George doesn't qualify his own baseless assertions, but will get very huffy if asked to back them up.

Philosophy doesn't happen wearing togas. Sometimes it happens when I'm posting hideous jiu-jitsu flab selfies.

What are the odds that George will do anything to substantiate his assertion that 'most peoole hate credentials'?

That's time for you. It's just heaiung with points.

A lot of money, a strong military and a nifty flag - *those* things.

Point as a point in time

Nice ax!

Yes, finding a 0-AD or thereabouts account in 'Aramaic, labelled 'how our plan to invent a guy called Jesus fooled everyone' might be a game-changer, but seems as likely as finding a detailed and authentic acvount of faking 911

(Bdum tish gif)

Heck I forgot to include 'massive socialism' as an option. Hope that didnt put you out

They too have dark secrets....

What if indeed!

Are there any 'human social alliances' that *can't* under some circumstanced l'ead to personal downfall'?

What's the funniest human social alliance that can be good but can also lead to personal downfall?

If only able to choose one of the following, which would you choose?

a) Capitalism such as would make Robert Nozick happy
b) Capitalism with a decent social welfare network
c) Socialism for the rich
d) Whatever it is we have now

'Jesus never existed' works better if you pretend people have only just started asserting that he did exists rather than (as is the case) sensibly assuming that he existed for centuries.

I mean, it's still a silly claim, but props for effort I guess

Jesus existed - that's the best explanation of the available evidence.

Can a country or other similar political entity that has a lot of money, a strong military, and a nifty flag, get those things without seeing people as expendable at some point?

Who is smarter overall?

a) A logical and emotional person?

b) A smart emotional person?

c) A smart person who thinks they're not at all emotional?

d) A pineapple?

Which question is more coherent?

a) Which has more cognitive biases in it, emotion or logic?

b) Which looks better in a big frilly hat, emotion or logic?

"For everything you value in your life, was it you, 100% without any influence, who completely determined what was valuable to you and what was not?"

(Characteristic redundancy from George here. Does anyone out there value things *not* in their life?)

Completely offscreen metaphysicd and utopias vs dystopias awesomeness

Completely off-screen action...

It's the debate-bro equivalent of 'my girlfriend goes to another school'

Goes like this:
A: says a bunch of stuff
B: makes a criticism of the stuff
A: No, you're wrong. I have a character limit here, so don't have spave to explain all the metaphysical and logical genius stuff I wanted to.

Just had someone do the 'offscreen genius' at me. If thats not the nane of a popular logical fallacy, it might as well be...

(Other than my misspelling 'leading' that is)

If you had a lute, what sort of music would you play on it?

What fallacy is involved in asking the following leadung question?

Do you agree that

"My senses are infallible at all times."

?
