good picks. I'm not that mad at pinker though

the new atheists in general are a strange bunch for me cause I probably agree with 90% of their predicates but their conclusions repulse me

Nial Fergusson first and foremost
Stephen Pinker
Sam Harris

:pacspit: all these dudes

Tough question. America doesn't really have a culture of real public intellectuals. In Europe, many of the most prominent philosophers/social scientists in academia are also public intellectuals. That's not really the case here.

Sam Harris >>>> threadstarter and anyone who cosigns him.

There's nothing worse than naming people you don't like and yet failing to give any real reasons for disliking them. This thread reminds me of typical hair salon gossip from ratchet ghetto women hating on other women. Don't be mad cause they're swagging on you bro. If you disagree with them then respond intelligently to each of their points that you have issues with. Next time come correct and please don't be such a bytch ass nikka like this in the future bro.

Sam Harris is an embarrassment to Atheism & Philosophy as you are an embarrassment to Caucasians and trolls.



You're not even an atheist so you have no right to make such judgement bro.


You're just an emotional bible believing black man from the south who has an unhealthy hatred for white people because they win so much


Don't hate the playa, Hate the game

:wow:

And for the record Sam is probably one of the realist nikkas in the game right now bro.


I cosign 100% of what comes out his mouth, real talk.


I've never heard him say anything that wasn't true.

Bullsh1t. I'm a noncognitivist and most of what you post is nonsense, yet you believe it makes sense, which makes you an imbecile.

I'm a 'Black' man that knows 'White people' are a socially created 'race' that cause nothing but death and destruction wherever they infect with their presence while thinking they are 'superior'. Meanwhile, a 'Black' man is President....:obama:

you have to be an idiot to ask such a question in the first place bro.

Why would one waste time reading this Lord of the rings shyt b?

Tablet 2. The younger gods, threatened by these scary beasts, fly into a panic and start looking for someone to come to their rescue. Ea, who got word of the war preparations, first approaches his grandfather Anšar (the deified horizon) and then daddy, Anum (the sky god), and reports the dire situation, but they do not come to the rescue, so Chicken-Little style the whole bunch of them ends up appealing for help from none other than the ultimate cause of their woes, Marduk. Marduk opportunistically accepts the invitation on the condition that if he defeats Tiamat and saves the gods, they will obey his commands. He will be their supreme, unchallenged ruler.

Tablet 3. In order to conclude an agreement, an envoy named Gaga is dispatched to Lahmu and Laha mu (Anšar’s parents), and all the gods gather at a grand banquet with lots of eating and drinking. When they are sufficiently inebriated, they ratify the agreement and enthrone Marduk as number one god.
