I am not violent. It is not in my nature to be violent towards humans or other animals. I don't have the capacity to be violent and cruel, even if I wanted to be.

I don't believe - There are any gods
In the "afterlife" or in non explainable magic (religion etc.)
I don't believe - That because many people believe something, it is therefore true
I believe - that Children should not be brainwashed by mythical lies and assimilated into cults by social pressures (religion again)
I don't believe - Humans are more important than any other creature
I don't believe - Just because it is organised murder that war is not murder
Just because people wear a certain type of clothes while murdering, doesn't stop it being murder.
Just because you have been ordered to kill, doesn't justify it.
There was only one WWII - Don't relate all wars back to it to justify them.

Meaningless words: 'Free-will', 'Destiny',
'Spirituality', 'Transcendent' - in the context of the former.

Nationalism is idiotic, pointless and an impediment to love and unity.

You cannot dis"believe" in Evolution.
Do so at your own perilous retardation, it won't make you correct or enlightened.

Irreducible complexity plainly points to the irreducible simplicity of the proposer's brain.

There is no objective morality, this is an absurd and unsubstantiated concept - just like the gods that are used to rationalise it.

I believe - Abortion is necessary
I believe in - Freedom
I believe in - Secular ethics
Racism is so bloody stupid, it's so annoying that it is so prevalent.

Islam is an evil, restricting, dangerous cult. It hates women and explicitly values order over happiness.
Don't tolerate the choler of Islam.

Neo-nazism is pathetic and contemptible.

I oppose the subjugation of the Palestinian people by Israel. I support Einstein's peaceful form of not-quite Zionism. But Israel is a terrorist state, and espouses an atrocious brand of racism and jingoism, to murderous effect.

The world doesn't need religion.
The world doesn't need war and hatred.

We are all economic slaves, forced to pay taxes and work at jobs. In our world it is the people with the most money that have the most control. Our planet is ruled by callous corporations and bloodthirsty banks. Their hands loom over our planet. Anything we do, we can only do because they have allowed it.

Global warming is being used as a guise to milk the population for even more money in the form of a carbon tax, while negligible progress is being made in the way of clean energy. All car companies need to do is stop making petrol cars. We can't buy petrol cars if there are none to buy. Etc.

I do not believe the "inside job" hypothesis of the 9/11 attacks. I used to, but I no longer do, because most of its so-called evidence is fabricated and there is an insufficient amount of real evidence to conclusively prove anything. Be doubtful about what happened. Be sceptical of hypotheses explaining what happened. Don't be sceptical of the government and then ditch your scepticism when someone says it was an inside-job. That's faith.

Alex Jones is a charlatan.

I completely oppose postgenderism.

Investigate everything, question everything, look for the meaning in all words and events.
Distrust the mainstream media.
Be skeptical on all fronts, truth will prove itself.

Strive to benefit all creatures, whether human or not.

By becoming vegetarian, you get one step closer to being like Albert Einstein.

That which is secure is taken for granted and that which is taken for granted ceases to be secure - in regards to liberty this is a dangerous law.

Don't forget to be happy!

Pi = C/D. Some people are starting to use "Tau", which is equal to C/r or 6.283. There's an argument whether pi or tau is the true circle constant. I'm on Tau's side.
Luckily, there is no such debate with e.

Hi, I have been enjoying the videos posted on your channel.
I am currently making videos on the probability and statistics sections of the project maths papers. Even the ordinary level questions are surprisingly intelligent, interesting and relevant (at least to me).
The loss of matrices might not be so bad, since the question in the old course is mainly about mindless (if enjoyable) manipulation. Matrices taught from scratch in college (with proper motivation) should be manageable without any background in them.
I agree with you about vectors. Those fortunate enough to have studied leaving cert applied maths will have gotten an excellent grounding in them, and I think that they will have a big advantage when studying mechanics in college. This differential will be worsened if vectors are pulled from maths.

You may be right about calculus. I was only going by the calculus content in the "old course" section of recent project maths papers. It is hard to see how too much calculus can be removed, considering the importance of analyzing continuous processes. I doubt that the increased emphasis on discrete maths will change that.

I don't use that pi > e as an argument as why pi is better than e. I wrote that just to be crazy.
I agree that e is very useful in almost every area that requires high-school level. Pi is just a short-cut so you don't need calculus to find the area of a circle.
You look very intelligent when it comes to philosophy from reading your description.

I have been trying to come up with a new Youtube name for myself, I thought I was being highly original when I came up with the Eclectic skeptic but after a quick Youtube search I have been beaten to it. Nice channel and great name you have there...lol

You're sick. Why should abortion be legal. What if your mother didn't want you, you wouldn't be here today. But you were born in Ireland so count yourself lucky.
anticorncob6 (4 months ago)
Memorize e?
Here's what I know of e: 2.71828182845904523536
And here's what I know of pi: 3.1415926535897932384626433832­795028841971693993751058209749­445923078164062862089986280348­53421170679
Rembember folks, pi > e.
