ok, this not vandalism but question. when i say "cheerleader" what do you think? i honestly want to know. :) oh and reverting this legitimate thread implies you are incapable of thinking.&mdash; Unsigned, by: 70.38.37.250 / talk / contribs

 * We have the logo. We even have animations. But we still haven't got around to posting anything onto Cafe Press. I think a brain logo on a mug with the phrase "You don't have to be rational to work here, but it helps" sort of thing. User:Armondikov 11:16, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Brain logo with random slogan, plus "rationalwiki.com" of course. Trouble with cafepress, as I understand it, is if you don't sell some shit pretty quickly, they remove it. How about we just post some nice hi-rez printable shit here, and everyone buys color inkjets and iron-on paper?  Works well. User:Human 04:37, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Rationalwiki Volcano Club
Anyone else affected by this? I've just heard that my flight back from Perth to Manchester has been cancelled and because of the backlog I don't know when they'll be able to get me home. It's amazing how many people have been affected and things like fresh veg and flowers which are flown in from Africa have been put on hold which consequently affects villagers in Kenya who are being temporarily laid off.

 * Hate to tell you this Josh, but what you think of as "reality" is just a butterfly having a dream. Now, do you want the red pill or the blue pill?

Idiots
An Irish journalist writes on HuffPo. Dawkins should be arrested for not screaming about "atheist" crimes. Wanker. User:Toast 14:45, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The HuffPo article is nothing more than the same old "Hitler was an atheist!" argument. But I did laugh at the part where the article calls biology and genetics "arcane fields." User:Tetronian 14:57, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Whoa, I didn't read the second half of the article until now. What the hell do the fertility rates of atheists have to do with the Pope? User:Tetronian 15:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * There's an even stupider guy in the comments section. I can make neither head nor tail of what he's saying. User:Phantom Hoover 15:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The basic problem is that Dawkins has failed to deal with Pol Pot. His being unconnected and physically impossible should not be a barrier. Sems a good response to a guy hilighting the demstrable fact that the Catholic Church continues to endorse the involuntary sliding of clerical cock in to the arses of boys. Yup, way to grasp the bigger picture, Rory.User:Concernedresident 20:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * If you ever want to teach people how not to write convincing arguments and teach people basic logical fallacies and their applications (argument from authority features extremely prominently), you could do much worse than start on that article. And that's a generous assessment. User:Armondikov 07:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * One thing I noticed about the article is that it hits a slippery slope in a hurry. Because Dawkins is trying to use the Augusto Pinochet maneuver on the Pope when he visits Britain, Mr. Fitzgerald sees this as Dawkins glossing over crimes done 'by' atheists. I seriously doubt that Dawkins would deny the death of millions in the Cultural Revolution or the Soviet Union during the Cold War. However, those leaders and their actions have come and gone. Cardinal Ratzinger's discrepancies and purposeful deceptions are still happening around the world, and have happened for much longer than the crimes done by the aformentioned 'atheists', even if they aren't atheist in definition [Soviet Russia was out of paranoia, the Cultural Revolution was out of fear of being left behind].


 * Another one that I love is the Einstein parallels he draws, even though he ignores Einstein's definition of spiritual [as Dawkins correctly states, it isn't spiritual as people know it; Spinoza's God rarely is] and uses the 'Judge of Truth and Knowledge' quote, even though Einstein meant it to be a quote to anyone who professed complete knowledge, including those religious zealots who use their belief as a cudgel against others. -- CodyH (talk) 08:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I hate to be a real jerk here, but Toastie darling, you've been on something like seventy machines since we met ya. Why do they all keep breaking? I understand the early days, you writing the help files on a handheld thingie while flooded out, but why don't you have a stable machine these days?  Just asking, really, and curious. User:Human 16:14, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Her machine isn't dying, there was a powercut which caused the filesystem (that's the arrangement of files on the physical disc, not the disc itself) to become corrupted. The computer instructed Toast to run a program to fix the filesystem, which it duly did, but some of the configuration files for the file browser were left corrupted, causing the file browser to fail.

 * dunno where you live but consider a small UPS. they arent expensive and you only need like 5 minutes for an orderly shutdown. Hamster (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That's why I love laptops, they have a built-in UPS (aka battery). Just ignore the recommendation to remove the battery when connected to mains power. --⁠ (talk) 20:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Great advice if you only want your lithium battery to last a bout a year. The main factor in shortening Li-ion battery life is heat. All Li-ion batteries start the road to death as soon as they are made. Keeping a three-quarter charged battery in a zip-lock bag in the fridge (not freezer) will extend its life. Use a proper UPS with cheap lead-acid gel batteries rather than leaving your laptop plugged in and warm all the time. User:Lily The Pink 22:02, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Guess it depends on the quality of the battery and/or heat flow of the computer. My machine is now some 3 years old, uptime around 8h/day on average. So far, the battery (never removed) still has more than 75% of its original capacity. --⁠ (talk) 23:04, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Interesting point about the heat issue. The power's gone off a couple times while using this flappie, and it's almost spooky - everything around me turns off except the glowing screen.  Of course, I lose the 'net due to the modem and router going down. User:Human 10:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * It could also be a legit, but poorly thought out hack attempt - possibly a bot. I've had it done to my Neopets account, and I wasn't even active there at the time; it could also be someone who doesn't know that "Forgot password" is usually paired to an e-mail, and someone who doesn't know that the IP address is included in said e-mail.  --86.122.128.125 (talk) 04:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Playing with toys.
This is just me on a little rant again. I was getting my groceries in (name withheld) when something caught my eye. It was a lego, no sorry, megabloks set. What got me was the theme:Halo. It was a kid's toy fashioned after a game rated M (18+).

Now, I can see the appeal.Halo has tanks, airships and other cool stuff that would be fun to build as a child. Lego has Star Wars and stuff, but this really got me. Are they aiming this at children, ignorant of the game, or uber-geeky fans, who get every bit of merchandise they can get their hands on?

I remember when I was a kid and Walmart had problems with parents concerning the name of a toy. It was a gundam action figure called "DeathScythe from Hell" (one of the best names for a giant robot ever!). I also remember controversy surrounding a toy made in wrestler Al Snow's image. Parents complained because the it came with a head accessory that was supposed to be the manikin head Snow used as a prop.

But this Halo thing gets to me. Parent's let the ball dropped on this one, and I feel like Debbie Schussel saying this (...so very, very dirty...). They danger-proof their kids, make it so cartoons are educational or have a positive message, and yet they didn't notice this?

P.S. While debating on writing this down, I started checking out some of my old favorite cartoons on youtube. After all these years, I am still a fan of Darkwing Duck, the Tick and Sam and Max: Freelance Police--Thanatos (talk) 01:11, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * You know what I miss from my childhood? Tom and Jerry cartoons.  It was clearly gratuitous violence, and the show served no other purpose other than catering to the gruesome needs of small innocent children.  If we can allow our children to watch cartoons where household animals blow each other up with dynamite, then I'm sure killing aliens is good, since a kid who blows up his dog with a cherrybomb is a psycopath, but one who kills aleins is a pretty cool guy.   --User:Theemperor 02:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

while we cannot prove the existence of god.
we cannot prove that there nothing after death, it bother me when i see people saying that there nothing after death like they *saw* it.

wake up call, we cannot know what after death as long as we are alive, that the rational way to do it because if we blatantly claim that there is nothing after death without proof (no scientist can die and come back to life to tell us how it is)we are acting like the creationist who claim god existence without proof.I'm probably gonna be insulted but you guy need to understand to have no double standard, you disrespect religion because of lack of proof(of that i can agree) but you cannot know what after death as long as you're still breathing. Waron out. Waronstupidity (talk) 21:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * True, no-one can say that there are no gods and that there's not a life beyond death. It is however reasonable to believe that gods and magical bye bye land are fictional until proven otherwise. --User:Concernedresident 21:11, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * fair enough :-),I'm agnostic and i want proof too but i really hope we can prove there something after death and if there nothing then so be it....Waronstupidity (talk) 21:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * (EC*2) Waron, you have a point, but there's more to it than that. While we can't know what is after death with absolute certainty, we can use logical reasoning (Bayesian and otherwise) to figure out what is probably going to happen. For example, the existence of a "soul" or some other non-physical entity is highly unlikely, which reduces the probability of a life-after-death. User:Tetronian 21:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * True, but we do not know everything about our universe, meaning there plenty of thing to discovery and many Theory to be proven or disproven.


 * Humanity need to keep its imagination because sometime imagination become a reality, for example people said we were never gonna be able to go to the moon but we did. There still PLENTY of thing to discover and that what current day "rational" people don't understand, they beleive that what exist today is the only thing that gonna exist tomorrow.Waronstupidity (talk) 21:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * What is it with people acting as if the sciences are for human computers with no imagination? It takes a huge amount of imagination and insight to work out how the world works, and to apply that knowledge to our gain. Imagination is not the same as believing whatever crap you want to. User:Phantom Hoover 21:29, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree: many rational people are focusing their attention on what will happen tomorrow. Like this guy, for example. The point is: there is a difference between saying "I don't know" and throwing up your hands helplessly as opposed to saying "I don't know" and then going on to examine the evidence you've got and making predictions. I admit, I will never know anything with absolute certainty, but I can use rationalism make predictions and adjust my beliefs as I acquire more evidence. At the moment, I think that I can assign a pretty low probability to an afterlife based on the absurdity of dualism. If I see something that suggests otherwise, I'll change my mind. User:Tetronian 21:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * good point, but i just hate when people completly destroy imagination saying its childish (example: many EXTREME atheist/rational i met).Waronstupidity (talk) 21:38, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * It's like Phantom Hoover says: there is a difference between imagination and faith. I can imagine whatever I want, but that doesn't mean I believe in it. And, as he points out, science takes imagination, too. Where would we be if scientists had never thought outside of the box? User:Tetronian 21:41, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * This argument has been addressed ad nauseam on this site. No sensible rational atheist denies the existence of a god/gods or an afterlife with 100% certainty as these things are ultimately unknowable. The tenuous "evidence" for most religious belief is based largely on hearsay and ignorance of nature, or is the product of self-delusion, so the probability of their existence is inordinately low. However, it is not rational to live your life on the basis of such low probabilities. It's like locking yourself in a concrete bunker just in case you get struck by a meteorite. Concepts like Pascal's wager are really a priori arguments because they assume the existence of a Christian god in the first place. To be fair you should apply the same logic to every religion or belief system. If there was really evidence for a god then surely it would be universal but there have been multitudes or different religions throughout history and across the globe. Of course, religionists always like to claim that theirs is the one true religion but as Steven Roberts said "When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you willunderstand why I dismiss yours". (See Commonsense Atheism for more discussion on this). The problems with religion arise from one set of random beliefs being imposed on everyone. Imagination is a creative process and one that has driven human progress and exploration for millennia, but it doesn't mean that we should take notice of every little kid's imaginary friend. User:Lily The Pink 01:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Well said Lily. Getting back to life after death, there is as much evidence for it as there is for the Flying spaghetti Monster.  Nobody can say with 100% certainly that the Monster does not exist, and nobody can demonstrate with 100% certainty that there is no life after death. But given that there is no evidence in favour of either the Monster or life after death we are justified in dismissing both ideas.--BobSpring is sprung! 06:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * You lost me at the end, Bob. I obviously agree that we can't be certain about anything related to an afterlife, but why does that mean we should dismiss the problem entirely? After all, as you pointed out, we can't know for certain if the FSM (or any unfalsifiable deity) exists, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't collect evidence and try to approximate p(h|d), or the probability of the hypothesis given the data we have. In general, my point is simply this: just because we can't be absolutely sure of something, that doesn't mean we should ignore the problem, especially given the fact that nothing can really be proven with absolute certainty. User:Tetronian 20:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * "collect evidence" - there's been none so far. What you mean is look for evidence. Good luck with that. User:Toast 20:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, look for evidence is probably a better way of putting it. However, I do think that there are certain pieces of evidence that can help us ascertain probabilities - for example, the sorry state of dualism is a relatively big blow against the existence of an afterlife.

 * One thing that has always interested me about 4chan, ED and other sites is how a group of strangers, fuckarounds and other socially inept people can function together as a form of quasi-society. Look at the /b/ board for example. Sure, they're rules are basically nonexistant [no cp/unlawful content, all else is fair game] and it's open to abuse, shock and enough vitriol to kill an elephant. But when it comes to uniting for the 'lulz' [In example, the 'Habbo' raids or prank-ordering pizzas to attention mongers like the Heene family] or even to keep trouble off 4chan [Look on ED for 'Don't mess with football' or 'Kitten' for examples of positive vigilantism] you have to admite the way that seemingly unconnected users with completely different backgrounds and preferences can unite under a goal. That, and sometimes it's just funny to watch the events unfold. -- CodyH (talk) 11:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Bullshit!
I'm sitting around with relatively little to do so decided to catch up with Penn & Teller's Bullshit! where I left off (start of series 5). Is it worth continuing watching? Because after one episode I'm starting to side with their critics far more. So on the "obesity epidemic is bullshit" one there were a ton of problems. Yep, plenty of authors who have written on the subject (they even admitted to being too lazy to even read one of the books they were plugging, their research must be either going downhill, or they're finally being honest) but no actual science or studies seem to get mentioned - in fact, one was a lawyer trying to convince people what science said but without actually mentioning what science was done. They spent far too long attacking the BMI, which pretty much everyone knows is a very, very basic proxy (and like all proxies, will certainly fail at extreme ends of the bell curve) and most doctors would be happy to say that it's not the be-all and end-all. Perhaps they could have done more about insurance using it as a hard-and-fast measure of fitness instead of appearing to whine about it being totally wrong because, HOLY CRAP, it was made by a Belgian - how fucking petty and xenophobic can you get? Then the "Fat People Olympics", sure they said it wasn't a serious controlled experiment but they made little of the fact that the "fat" guy who won was actually well built and stocky (you could tell he does weights because his upper arms were really toned) while their "skinny" guy was clearly just average and not athletic - and they at no point made even a mention about their real fat guy (jiggling moobs and all) didn't even complete the race. So did they actually prove their point that "fat people can be just as fit as thin people", no they didn't. I'd have liked them to cut the bullshit and concentrated perhaps on diet pills and the industry a lot more, but they seemed to brush over it - even at one point they seemed to actively endorse the idea that "ooh, science will just invent a pill one day so we'll be fine". It was quite good when they had a guy mention that yo-yo dieting was worse than being a stable weight, because that's true but again that's just sensible advice that they brush over rather than trying to look into. Then their historical analysis is a bit off, yes, we are evolved to eat a lot and put on weight, but that's efficiency from a time when food was scarce, not plentiful - and even the most pampered Kings of old who gorged themselves would have been a bit more physically active back then, even the likes of George IV who was famously a fat fucker (and even so, these were the exceptions, not the rule in the past). Then with more blurring of history, their picture of a "skinny farmhand" from the depression - hmmm, yes, he was skinny because he was starving in the depression, no contributing factors involving 12 hour days with a plow and walking everywhere rather getting into a car in the morning, driving everywhere, sitting at a desk all day and getting home just to sit down for 6 more hours motionless in front of a TV. And to top off their "being fat is okay" message? Have them sit in front of two naked (and pointedly thin) chicks. I'm all for the gratuitousness of what they've done in the past as it's often with their tongues firmly in their cheeks but that ending was frankly outright hypocritical, inconsistency is fine, but hypocrasy is unforgivable.

So I suppose I should ask anyone who has stuck with the show whether it's worth continuing watching it? They took all the proper bullshit (talking to the dead, psychics, creationism) in the first 2-3 series so they should have either gone back over the same topics in more depth (give them a 90+ minute special on psychics rather than 30 minutes, or perhaps their attention spans are shrinking these days), or called it a day rather than switching on to far more subjective things or just disagreeing with things for the sake of being controversial. User:Armondikov 17:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The few episodes I have rented (!) must have been from later seasons, because, indeed, there was a lot of bullshit. Problem was, they were the ones spewing much of it.  I should look into the earlier stuff I suppose. User:Human 18:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Yeah, initially I thought this was going to be an interesting show, but the Libertarian agenda kept busting through the fucks and assorted gratuitous nudity.
