Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

          It did make me raise an eyebrow when Rogan got him to admit he was afraid of the possibility of Heaven being real, due to it also being eternal.

          Bruh, if you really don’t believe in something, why fear it? Do you know how scared I am of the possibility that Jason Vorhees is real? Not at all! I’m also not scared of the idea that Outworld is real and will take over our realm if we lose another tournament…

          So shouldn’t the concept of Heaven be just as powerless to his sense of fear?

          I’m not making a statement or trying to imply anything, I’m not sold on an afterlife of any kind (I think it’s a lovely idea, but, I also think it literally raining chocolate is a lovely idea), I just found that confusing is all.

          Even if we assume he somehow made it through the hippy era as a PhD holder without trying it, there’s no way no one has hooked him up in the past ten years.

      That’s hilarious! I had no idea there was more to this. Thanks for sharing.

      Now I gotta track down Rogan and Peterson talking about Dawkins.

        If you’re a fan of extreme cringe, Jordan Peterson’s podcast episode with Richard Dawkins is the source for all that. But the double helix thing was probably the most entertaining one.

      Isn’t Richard Dawkins a bigger transphobe than Peterson, having literally compared being trans to wearing blackface?

          Because Dawkins shouldn’t get a prize for being merely “Not as insane as the other bigot!”

          What’s your understanding? Because he literally had humanitarian awards for basically being the biggest piece of shit ever when it came to women and transpeople, especially if they were both!
