Rational people have better things to do than grant unwarranted credibility to every half-assed delusion.

We are not princes of the earth, we are the descendants of worms, and any nobility must be earned.

Silence is an argument in favor of the status quo. A refusal to address an inequity is a strategy for maintaining that inequity.

FAITH. No one word personifies the absolute worst and most wicked properties of religion better than that. Faith is mind-rot. It’s the poison that destroys critical thinking, undermines evidence, and leads people into lives dedicated to absurdity. It’s a parasite regarded as a virtue.

We live our lives for our life's sake, rather than for illusions about rewards and satisfaction after we're dead.
