Just a little common sense: Why I Regret My Last Post
http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-i-regret-my-last-post.html
Just a little common sense. Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Why I Regret My Last Post. So, it turns out that the last story. I commented on was complete and utter bullshit. I failed to do some basic fact-checking before I eagerly pointed my finger, and for that I'd like to apologize. Luckily for all of us, TED-Curator Chris Anderson has written a blog post at TED setting the record straight regarding this story. I suggest that anybody who reads this head over there now and read what he has to say. The truth is th...

Missing Liberaltarians - Overcoming Bias

Laquo; Reply to Moldbug. May 23, 2009. Officially, the libertarian world view is equally distant from standard liberal and conservative political views. See for example, the Worlds Smallest Political Quiz. Where liberals like social but not economic freedom, and conservatives like economic but not social freedom. In practice, however, libertarians hang out more with conservatives than liberals. At least they do in the academic and think tank worlds I know. Ive been attending some liberaltarian. Liberta...

Just a little common sense. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Recognizing Intolerance, The Easy Way. Chances are, this has happened to you too: You start feeling slightly uncomfortable while listening to somebody, like there's something wrong with something they've just said, but somehow you can't quite put your finger on it. Take, for example, Pope Francis' recent remarks on Homosexuality. The problem is not having this orientation, it is lobbying," he said. "That's the most serious problem I think. The problem i...

Just a little common sense. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. The Moral Case for Vegetarianism. I have stated before that any sensible stand on ethics will inevitably lead to vegetarianism if consistently followed. The shortest and simplest version of the argument I can think of is this:. Premise a): There is an ethical responsibility to avoid inflicting unnecessary suffering. Premise b): In a western society, survival is. Not dependent on the consumption of animal products. Them Shockingly, that still qualif...

Just a little common sense. Monday, June 11, 2012. Pastor in Houston Publicly Comes Out as Atheist" - News Coverage Displays a Amazing Lack of Empathy. I just read the story about the Houston Pastor who publicly came out as an atheist. If you haven't yet, the link can be found here. They need to move on. They don't need to stay within the church.

http://commonsensehumanism.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-tattooed-ode-to-reason.html
Just a little common sense. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. My Tattooed Ode to Reason. I love tattoos. I plan to be covered head to toe at some point in the future, though I'm in no particular hurry to get there. Over the past few weeks, I've become aware of an increasing number of atheist-themed tattoos out there. A quick google search. Or the invisible pink unicorn. Of the ideologically motivated tattoos, one in particular caught my attention:. The CEO of the British Humanist Association. Got a tattoo of t...
