Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Twue, but IS a believer happier than a skeptic? I know when I express my skepticism it makes me sound like a grouch, because obviously somebody's bubble is being burst, but I'm happy as hell.
Maybe I'm just mean.
For me the most striking metaphor is Dumbo, clinging to a "magic feather" thinking that this enables him to fly.
I will NEVER forget what a devout Christian friend once said to my wife and me: "I find the more you think about it, the harder it is to believe".
MB: Probably not, but it's part of the image they like to project.
RtS: Which is why religion needs to inculcate suspicion of thinking -- "the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God", etc.

Fair warning: anything supporting transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or in favor of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
