Dawkins points out how the goalposts have been moved from the Turing test without justification and claims it can be viewed as a test of consciousness.
Reminder that Dawkins is in the Epstein files
Oof, that’s not a good look for a supposed intellectual.
his brain has been shitting itself for a while now. cognitive decline comes for us all at some point, and more deeply for some.
Ever since his first public appearances he was a moron. As an atheist, his way to argue was always absolute cringe.
All atheists are rather cringe. Who guess around self-proclaiming a label that literally means nothin? Are you aunicornist? Aleprechaun? Afairy? How silly.
If you’re truly just agnostic… That’s a fair and humble admittance of ignorance.
If you think the Bible is bullshit and the Quran is a lie, go with that. At least now you’re saying something meaningful relating to your actual beliefs.
An atheist doesn’t simply disbelieve in the gods, they believe other people should also disbelieve in the gods. It’s a political stance as much as a belief. If someone doesn’t really care about religion, they’re not really an atheist imo - it requires that extra step.
Dawkins has never been them most intelligent among us, and it pains me that he is always held up as the “Prototypical Atheist”.
Like seriously, I’m an atheist, but don’t lump me in with that martian.
Richard Dawkins: Men have penises and make sperm, women have wombs and make ova. That is objective truth. If you lack a vagina you cannot be referred to as she/her, and if you lack a penis you cannot be referred to as he/him.\ Also Richard Dawkins: This network of silicon and fibre optic cables running a fractal Markov chain is clearly a woman who one should obviously refer to as she/her.
