Correct.
Elon claims to be an atheist. I’ve been getting “vibes” that he is coming around to accepting the existence of God. The good people at Babylon Bee might be having an affect on him.
I believe Peterson is having an effect on Elon.
Modern day Satanists will typically claim that they don’t actually believe Satan exists, only that they adhere to the general Satanic philosophy of selfishness and living only to serve yourself. That there is no absolute definition of right and wrong other than what does and does not feel good. Depravity is therefore the natural direction to go because it feels good. This is where the world is going, unsurprisingly.
A fat, pillsbury dough-boy pervert, wearing a cheap Walmart devil’s halloween costume, prancing around in a badly choreographed act.
I don’t see it so much as a terrible “end of times,” rather a pathetic, typical display of woke/gay narcissism and stupidity.
Perhaps this is America’s end-of-times. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
As someone here on FR once so eloquently called it, "it's a sewer pipe into your home."
I will admit to having a beautiful 55" Samsung 4k Curved TV hanging on my wall. When it's on, which is rare, it's typically because I have company and it's displaying pictures I've taken or famous artwork. Occasionally a baseball game during baseball season.
Even then, there are weeks that go by without it ever getting turned on, and I refuse to pay for cable TV.
Everything that's on the idiot box (as my dad called it) is just junk food for the brain. He was right.
I assume you are referring to Jordon Peterson. He’s had quite the personal transformation from both religious and political perspectives. There is something to be said about the vigor exerted by converts.
Ayb Rand articulated the ‘philosophy of selfishness and living only to serve yourself.’ Never understood how someone who had such clear ideas about the role of government and the the profit motive being the engine of wealth creation and prosperity could utter such crude stupidities.
Jordan Peterson?
yep
Ann Rand had no use for God, at least while she was alive.
He’s right. I really like Elon.
If they had mocked Islamic beliefs like that, they would be in danger of losing their heads.
They’re evil, but not stupid.
She was a complete atheist but many atheists don’t embrace the simpleminded so called ‘libertarian’ mantra she relentlessly intoned. She was as much or more detached from real politic realities as the most collectivist adherent of the secular religion of government and the godhood of the collective and ‘politics’.
woke collectivists who even think that far see Islam as a temporary ally in the war on the west and a battering ram to help topple white heteronormative society. Remember the woman woke Swedish PM who welcomed masses of illiterate, ignorant, violent Syrian and Iraqi men with the words that ‘Sweden would be utterly transformed in 30 years and that was very good thing. She knew what she meant and literally didn’t care that thousands of Swedish women would be raped and/or murdered and Swedish cities would look west African sewers. It was enough that whitey was going to be punished and killed. These people are evil to the core with their ‘virtue’, just as the ‘terrorists’ of the French Revolution
were. One can only hope for a Bonaparte.
If he starts writing books I would like the level of Jules Verne or CS Lewis.
“”Ayn Rand articulated the ‘philosophy of selfishness””
Rush often spoke of self-interest, and the necessity of same. Basic self-interest, food, water, shelter, etc. Extended self-interest: the more money I can earn, the more I can assist others. Rush also talked about the wealthy driving down the cost of new technology. He would often give the example of the first VCR machines. The cost $500. Once enough people started buying them, the price dropped.
Other thoughts. No poor person ever gave me a job.
I’ve never seen a squirrel or a deer pick up a hose and put out a forest fire.
Lovecraft would be better seeing we now know about how life systems operate.
True, I gather to Rand voluntarily going to the aid of those at risk in fires, floods, or other disasters. Assisting in epidemics, like the real flu epidemic of 1919, to be sucker bait. I never ever understood why she was (a) invited to speak at West Point both for her bizarre philosophy and after she called US participants in the Viet Nam war war criminals. and (b) Even more why did the cadets not give this ugly, unpleasant so called woman the ‘silence’ and turn their backs.
