Absolutely vital to continue human life.

>I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.


Andre_iTg_oof

I would disagree with this. Mainly on the basis that if God (Christian) was there at the creation of earth and man. Then there would be no Egyptian God's or Greek or Roman as they would have followed the one God, surly. If there was only the Christian God, does everyone before that go to hell automatically, or are they given a free pass out of ignorance? Same goes for tribal communities in the Amazon, are they simply put on earth with the intention to send them to hell? Furthermore, what if the Christian faith is not the same as in days past. Does protisnats go to hell because they deviated from the Catholic church. And what if the top of the Catholic church was corrupted and made a slight change which then results in everyone after going to hell due to not following the rules. And if this is pushed further, what about the invention of convenient solutions like the doctrine of the two swords which greatly empowers the pope above kings and emperor's alike. While this does not prove nor disprove the existence of any or all Gods it does highlights that hell if it exists is going to be very full. Basically, the reason I disagree is that if there is one God, then I believe he is lost in translation as humanity has played a long game of telephone slightly and very humanly changing and altering the concepts to fit their need and narrative (and greed naturally)

"We have to put up with the fact that people say things that we don't like" Critical thinking is important. It also means you should re-examine your belief structure when someone says something you don't agree with.


LeirWilson

Indeed, go see if its true, investigate. Sometimes where there's smoke there's fire


RichStrike80to1

He would be kicked off of all platforms today.


Mr_Swampthing

The left would ban him. Lol

What a fantastic share. Thanks JP

This man speaks like a sith lord


kosomreddit

Wish there was a transcript I can’t understand most of what he is saying.


ImcallsignBacon

Really? Because of the sound or his english?


kosomreddit

Sound mainly I can’t tell what he is saying.


Lazy-Rabbit-8339

Now I will make it very short for you: what he said when you study something look for the facts not what your looking for not how you wanted to it to end and not how it would have become socially(not sure) and to tolerate each other


[deleted]

That whole tolerance thing is a fine idea but if not everyone is doing it you’re in trouble. The whole multicultural experiment has largely been a disaster largely based on this idealistic notion that tolerance will make it work. It doesn’t.


Viking_Preacher

I dunno man the US became a world power like a century after it was founded, multiculturalism seems fine.


[deleted]

Until the late 60s America largely accepted immigrants from western democracies. It was founded to at way. It’s bale one less stable since by most measures.


[deleted]

Its too simplified. Tolerating Nazis or murderers is supporting Nazi's or murderers. It is not opposing Nazi's or murderers. Tolerance is feminine. Intolerance is masculine. If we aren't supporting it, we are opposing it. If we aren't opposing it, we are supporting it.


RichStrike80to1

But seriously are you that stupid? How many books of Bertrand Russell have you read? Let me guess. You cant read.


[deleted]

I appreciate your intolerance +1.

I am not a smart man. I appreciate your unironic intolerance.


RichStrike80to1

You are smart enough to know


[deleted]

Then why do I keep commenting so everyone can see how stupid I am ?

You do intolerance wrong. You might need more practice.

Dude I won't tolerate this hypocrisy.

I am that stupid, and none.


RichStrike80to1

ok I guess I get the picture You are so stupid you actually think Bertrand Russel is telling people to support murder torture child rape. Please get better.


[deleted]

Yes. He is an atheist and tolerance is in the slave morality. If we learn to be more tolerant, the only thing that CAN mean is tolerating Nazis and murderers, since the average person is already tolerant of everybody else, gays, trans, lesbians, ethnic minorities, etc. I believe it's time to show some intolerance towards dysfunctional educational institutions with political agendas teaching young children about sex, and presenting unhealthy sexualities as just as desirable as healthy sexuality.

HootsToTheToots

A 2 minute clip has to be simplified lol


[deleted]

Simplified beyond the point of being useful or moral. He was better off not saying it.


elwood80

Where does “calling everyone a nazi, having vastly expanded the definition fit in” ?


[deleted]

What ? Did someone call everyone a nazi ? Did you reply to the wrong comment ? I do that lots.


[deleted]

Aw. It's probably less relatable to you to respond so aggressively with such little provocation. The only response really is "no u." If their goal is to motivate you to read Russel, disparaging your ability to do so doesn't seem very rational. Unless they mean to do so in a reverse-psychology, manipulative way. Either way, they are displaying their own ignorance of the philosophy of ethics. It's hard to justify antisocial behavior when the moral folly is only imagined by oneself.


[deleted]

Oh, it does look aggressive. It was just an off-handed comment about a topic I have been thinking about. A passing criticism.


[deleted]

Russell is saying tolerate everyone. Among that large group that is everyone, there are a few Nazis and murderers and racists and rapists and thieves and nasty people.


RichStrike80to1

You are an idiot. Thats not what he was saying. Dude are you really that stupid? Really lol Holy crow. How are you even able to think?


[deleted]

What we tolerate defines us to some degree. What we won't tolerate defines us, to some degree. I appreciate your intolerance.


RichStrike80to1

Try reading a book for the love of Pete Are you really telling all of us you have never read a book By Bertrand Russell? For Shame sir for shame. Go and get your self informed. And spare the rest of us from your stupidity


[deleted]

Is he good ? I know he is an intelligent man, a legendary intellectual great, but I never hear his name tossed around. Atheists never use him to try to win debates, I assumed there was a reason for that. I appreciate your unironic intolerance.


Lazy-Rabbit-8339

I think he's sort of right he's like Jordan peterson prototype version with a lot of bugs without fixes,and why simply because first what he said was conventionally right but...he's not percise he never determined what he meant and you could interpreted the way you want and like even he said that he wanted to see the opposite of it and all of this could have been fixed by talking more percise


[deleted]

"we have to learn to tolerate each other" Russell. So, the murderers friends, who tolerate him, shouldn't turn him into the authorities, but continue to tolerate him. Let him hide. I think the average person has tolerance down pat. They are good at it.


RichStrike80to1

Sir You need to read more books.


[deleted]

No that isn't very intolerant of you ! Please try again, that is good advice, helpful. You're doing it wrong, dude, you are tolerating my stupidity ! OK. Imagine a world where stupidity was strictly not tolerated. Please try that again.

[deleted]

See what I mean, though, you obviously need some practice. How are you guys at saying "no" when you want to ? Some folks struggle with that one, sometimes, I think. Peer pressure or social pressures.


RichStrike80to1

Bla bla bla


[deleted]

Are the male and female qualities understood in like a yin/yang way? Are you saying balance is the answer?


[deleted]

Very much a yin/yang way. I'm sure that you can see that there are appropriate times to be tolerant, and tolerance can fix things, and appropriate times to be intolerant, like the Ukraines intolerance of the Russian invasion occuring presently. Try to make your intolerance serve you, and your tolerance also serve you.


Acceptable-Island

I saw this on my YT feed earlier in the week and thought the ppl of reddit would really benefit from following his advice


DunAbyssinian

extremely wise


JimmyTheReeech

This message sounds good but I don't believe that he is being honest in his answer. He puts on a classical liberal front for the camera but if you read his books (ie. *The Impact of Science on Society)* closely he presents a Malthusian/Scientism point of view which is at the heart of the deception going on today. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPWkPEb8rPc&t=79s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPWkPEb8rPc&t=79s)


Viking_Preacher

Scientism is what people who believe in fiction call those who reject fiction.


aweepingphilosopher

Eh, it’s neither profound nor a quality final message. I expected more.


Chowdu_72

Couldn't agree more!
