Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

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

Wonderful. A delightful work of art.
Here's something that you and your readers may enjoy.
A talk (1 hour) by Lawrence Krauss, a particle physicist (and atheist, friend of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins).
I was able to follow most of it. I plan to listen to it more than once to be able to understand it as best as I can as a lay person.
This was a nice companion piece to go with the book I'm currently reading: "Why Does The World Exist, An Existential Detective Story," by Jim Holt.
I highly recommend it.
Inspirational, isn't it? The song used in the video has an unusual distinction -- it was actually broadcasted on Mars.
I'll check out the link, thanks. I have a couple of Krauss's books.
Ain't science grand?
Do you see humans making it to Mars in our lifetimes? I certainly hope we do.
Indeed, if only the pioneers like Galileo and Newton could see what we've accomplished!
Do you see humans making it to Mars in our lifetimes?
We've already been there -- and to most of the solar system -- in the person of our machines. As for sending actual flesh-and-blood humans there, I've posted about that before -- too expensive, too dangerous, no reason to do it.
