About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
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.

A great clip describing a fact that Great Ape Thoughts and I agreed upon on the Skeptical Teacher blog: that religious nuts, extremists and patriots ignoring facts are so loud and prevalent in all our forms of media.
Mature, responsible, well adjusted thoughts from moderate folk (including the moderate religious ones) are almost never heard. We must spend time looking for the views of the moderate, which are not yelled at us as if we are all impressionable children, such recorded views and opinions are usually valid, helpful and wise. But they go almost unnoticed in this media-driven world.
Such a shame.
All the best,
Woody
True, though it's also up to moderates to make themselves heard -- something I try to do via this blog, for example. Moderate conservatives need to stop letting the crazies intimidate them.
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
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.
