Atheists needn’t (probably shouldn’t — because probably no one should) be materialists: atheists as such are committed only to the claim that God doesn’t exist. However, once immaterialism is granted, many (not all) roadblocks to Theism come down.

With respect to some matters, there comes a point at which it’s actually no longer rational to continue exploring alternating perspectives and positions one believes to be wrong. There’s a form of “open-mindedness” that, if actually lived out, simply leads to global skepticism.
This is correct: factory farming ends through innovation or else it doesn’t end at all— most humans are always going to want to eat meat; the only question is whether it comes from animals that have been tortured to death.

Little-known but true: this fact (taking for granted that it is a fact) does not by itself rule out mind-body dualism.

All human action is predicated on the assumption that something matters.

Given the absurdly unscientific and un-american ban of lab meat by @RonDeSantis yesterday (who clearly hasn’t done his homework)… here’s the ACTUAL science behind the technology:
You should never defer to the judgment of someone solely on the basis of that person’s credential. Take my word for it (as a Philosophy PhD).
One thing that’s quite certain: Higher education is on the precipice of some sort of massive change. Impossible to predict exactly what form this will take — but a decade from now, everything will just be totally different.
Oh yeah, the government *totally* wants to force people to eat lab-grown meat. That's why they've given *checks notes* $59 billion in subsidies to the meat industry over the past ~20 years.

TFW you check a Quote Tweet and find that it’s constructive and appreciative rather than obnoxious and contemptful.
For the better part of a century, Philosophy of Education has received relatively little attention from most philosophers. Perhaps it's time for a revival, given that society at large no longer seems to have coherent theory of what universities are for — of their purpose.
I think eventually everyone will want to eat suffering-free meat because it will taste better. Then, all will back in horror at factory farming wondering how anyone ever thought it was permissible to treat sentient beings in that way.

From the beginning of time, university instructors have been reading cliché opening sentences.
Portrait of a washed up philosophy lecturer pondering the nature of existence following the last lecture of the school year (or: trying to remember where he parked his car)
Tellingly, lots of universities have mottos that promise to bring “change” to the world — without any promise that this change will be *good*, and without any indication that the institution even has a settled, coherent account of what *good* change would amount to.
To me, one of the weirder aspects of protest culture is the custom of a group repeating the words of some speaker who is already quite audible. Always strikes me as rather cultish.
Who *decides* the truth? No one. That’s what makes it the truth.

@Richard07126645 @2Philosophical_ That would be a problem only if we understood physical causation as distinct from correlation.
@Richard07126645 @2Philosophical_ Some suggest that until we understand the mechanism of physical causality deeply enough rather than hardly at all beyond correlation and hand waving in a universe likelier to be one big thought (James jeans) than one big physical system, we should stay open.
@Curse_of_Ham @2Philosophical_ Many would suggest that the total sensorium occurrent state of consciousness is that evidence. And perhaps it’s also possible that we don’t, despite all our hype, after all understand the brain yet as a totally closed system impervious to extrasystemic influence.
