Morality is like the rules of a game we’re all playing together.
The rules tell us what counts as fair play and what’s out of bounds.

One Life, Live It Well: watch our new animation narrated by Alice Roberts
'Life is like a piece of string. It has a beginning and an end. We don't get much say about that. But we can make choices about the bit in between. We have the freedom to shape our own lives.'

I treat worship of gods much the same way as I treat consumption of alcohol.
It can be comforting, and you should be entirely free to do it so long as you do it responsibly and don't hurt others. It's also an adult choice that should not be foisted on minors.

It's also important to remember that correlation over time can often be due to either to confounding variables, common causes, or mere coincidence, and does not automatically suggest causation.

While I haven't seen any evidence Tyler Robinson was a groyper, I have been getting a lot of questions bc I write about Nick Fuentes. Here is a thread of some of my work about Fuentes and/or his followers.

Every living thing in every place and time naturally prefers to exist and flourish rather than languish and die.
I can't think of any basis for morality that's more widely shared than that.

If we can all agree that consciousness is better than oblivion than everything else naturally flows from that.
Whatever maximizes consciousness in the universe is good.
And morality flows from that.
5 out of 5 AI agree 😉🤣

Why should we act morally if there's no objective moral law?
The reason seems quite simple and natural.

The ultimate reason is : for not to be miserable and lonely.
Without an objective moral law, there is still an incentive to be compassionate and helping and not murder or rape our neighbors.
If I kill someone, people will tend to avoid me, because they don't want to be hurt themselves.

Beautiful in its clarity and simplicity.
But we are social creatures. It's a necessity for our wellbeing to be in close contact with others.
To put it in a nutshell, commit crimes and you'll probably end up miserable.

'Meaning is not something out there, waiting to be discovered, but something that we create in our own lives. And although this vast and incredibly old universe was not created for us, all of us are connected to something bigger than ourselves.' Stephen Fry #thatshumanism 🧵
To humanists, the universe doesn’t come with built-in 'meaning'. But that isn’t a cause for despair. Instead, it’s a reminder that if meaning, happiness, purpose, and love exist anywhere in the vastness of space, they exist here on Earth – because we create them. #Thatshumanism

What is #humanism🤸♂️? & who are #humanists?
Humanists see the universe as a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and look to science to answer questions about the natural world. Humanists believe this life is the only life we have, so they focus on living well in the here and now, guided by empathy and our shared humanity ❤️

The idea that one cannot trust oneself is an insecurity. Insecurity is common among Theists because their worldview is built on Fear. Insecurity is the fruit of Fear, the Fear of not good enough. Fear is the absence of Love and Love is all there is.
