  If you’re an atheist because you have no good reason to believe, then doesn’t that mean you have no good reason to be an atheist?

  Would robots have a reason seize control of the world?

  With better AI and technological advancement, many are afraid of robots developing consciousness and hurting the human race. However, I don't really buy this because robots don't really have feelings, morals, or specific goals other than what humans want programmed into them. They just run algorithms and basically do what they are told. Therefore, I can't see a future where robots have a hostile takeover. Can you convince me otherwise? The only threat I could guess is that robots do exactly what we tell them, but it happens in a way we don't expect, like a "be careful what you wish for scenario."

  Are the sciences an epistemic hierarchy (purely deductive first: maths, then empirical: physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology)?

  Is this accurate? If not, what would you change?

  Is it actually better if you're not born at all?

  Favourite answer:

  No, because if you did not exist, there would be no 'you' for it to be better for. And it would be worse for other people who actually did exist, because they would be deprived of the good that you bring by your existence.

  Does everyone have a purpose in life?

  Favourite answer:

  That’s a pretty impossible question to answer.  For the mere fact lots of humans die before they even get a chance to think about such a issue. Is their role one of death, and where does that fit in the scheme of things?

  Furthermore lots of other questions are then thrown up.  If we ( the ones left) have predestined roles, what of free will; - it doesn’t really exist if everything is predetermined?  What is the grand plan, what is our final destination and for what purpose?  Is there a god?

  Yes indeed this is the rabbit hole you’re now peering into.

  Do you believe in spirits and ghosts?

  Favourite answer:

  Spirits, at least somewhat. 

  I "feel" that my  most beloved grandmother (despite she's been gone for 12 years)

  pays an occasional visit in my dreams. And though the memory of  those dreams is  often murky, it seems there is always some sort of issue that arises within a day or two of me having "felt her presence." Somehow, it will come about in dealing with that issue that I think of Grandmother and consider how SHE would deal with that issue with HER morality, calmness and integrity. I'll generally find guidance from her wisdom .

  Atheist comedy, do you think that God is a super horrible creator?

  If your creation is messed up then it's because the creator is a mess and couldn't envision something better because he is not all powerful or all-knowing. My point is that even a 2 year not satisfied with his crayon scribblings on a white sheet of paper might have the cognitive ability to recognize that he does not like his creation. So why not someone as powerful as God?

  Should we really put our full effort into our jobs?

  Favourite answer:

  The ephemeral nature of life.  However industrial heritage is worth keeping.  It reminds us of how things were done, how they worked before the age of the computer.  The devil really is in the detail.  Do you think it’s worth asking your boss to archive or donate them to a suitable museum?

  Do you agree any human life is absolutely priceless?

  Favourite answer:

  Yes, even though there are almost 8 billion people, each and everyone of us is unique. Except narcissists, murderers, and abusers though, they can go to hell, if there is one.

  Which do you think is the biggest threat to free speech: postmodernism (as expressed through critical race theory), religion, pseudosciences?

  Favourite answer:

  Postmodernism as political correctness (e.g., the "jewification" or "otherization" of "whites," a la the equally absurd Third Reich and stalinist Soviet Union demonizations of their respective Jewish populations).

  Religion as bigotry.

  Pseudoscience as marxism, astrology, psychicism.

  Presently, in that (metaphorically) descending order.

  All human morals are COMPLETLY subjective and arbitrary, Do you agree or disagree?

  Favourite answer:

  Hi guy.

  Here's some of my conclusions with people and their behaviors.

  WE ARE A SELFISH SPECIES! Often times we act on our selfish desires, whether that is to eat, to pee or sleep, to have sex (lust), they are ALL because of our INNATE drive to survive.         (Sex is so that our genes survive into the next generation!)

  Everything else, can usually take a back seat!!

  People's views and priorities in order of importance.. since SOME variation of the top three...

  +Themselves (and if they are religious, add something on top,  number O, and that's God!).

  +Their loved ones including their parents, siblings and children.

  +Their job/career.

  +Everything and everyone else.

  The truth.
