Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Nigerosaurus420 says : Fear in god doesn't instantly equal wisdom. Religion and phylsophy is different although they may have similarities.>> <<@noneofyourbusiness7055 says : The beginning of wisdom. Abandon reality, and just lock yourself in a cult instead. No thanks.>> <<@kregorovillupo3625 says : So, at the first occasion you have to teach your students phylosophy, you push... the bible. I was right when saying all those fuss with unexistent atheists professors indoctrinating teens into atheism was all projection. I knew it, all projection in the purest form. He isn't even ashamed, he's proud of it... he's so confident his peers will appreciate that he doesn't even think if it's an appropriate thing to do, he just does. Stop, indoctrinating, teens. You are not adequate to have your teaching role, get out of class if you want to teach religious dogma.>> <<@midlander4 says : Prager non-U and beardy sociopath must be delighted by the overwhelmingly positive comments here 😂😂😂😂>> <<@DG-cu1vt says : Treating anxiety and depression with fear of god. This is what happens when you get your teaching degree from a box of Cracker Jacks.>> <<@Kaylakaze says : If I met someone with that facial hair, the last thing I'd listen to them about would be "wisdom.">> <<@antoniorobles8706 says : TMM's response: youtu.be/tWpFR1vlY-Q>> <<@Nemo12417 says : "Now, I'm sure atheists will disagree with me, but Psalms 14:1 said anybody who disagrees with me is stupid, so therefore, everyone is obligated to concede. Checkmate atheists!">> <<@Nemo12417 says : Ah yes, living on constant terror of an eldritch cosmic entity who owns and operates a torture facility for freethinkers. A well known cure for anxiety.>> <<@Mr.PeabodyTheSkeptic says : What's it like to be scared all the time christians? The narrator has the morals of sociopath. Yikes.>> <<@THATGuy5654 says : I'm an idiot. When he said that Free Will was "a Biblical belief, by the way," I was looking away from the screen, and, assuming that he would post a chapter and verse on the screen like any other educational YouTuber would, tapped back to check on it. I forgot I was watching a PragerU video. Citation, shmitation. So you haven't exactly changed my current understanding, which is that the Bible says almost nothing about free will and that God has been shown in the narrative to have no respect for it, even using mind control on rulers who capitulated before he was done visiting horrors and death upon their people. Which is a good segue into the simple point that people fear God for the same reason that they fear a man with dilated pupils and a knife screaming about the Illuminati: he's violent and unpredictable.>> <<@noneofyourbusiness7055 says : This is... atrocious. No wonder it has an 8% like ratio. I wonder how long it takes before the creationists at PU get just a little bit more desperate to lure in literalist fundies, and go full flat Earth...>> <<@2l84me8 says : Encouraging fear is how curiosity and critical thinking utterly dies.>> <<@karlwhite2733 says : 1. Stupid people are afraid of imaginary beings. 2. The bible is 99.9% fictional nonsense. Other than geographic locations and 3 possibly 4 people, it's all fake. 3. This guy is dumber than a box of rocks.>> <<@shinywarm6906 says : 03:20 Pro tip: when a man says with approval, "Most children fear their father" , check his kids for belt marks>> <<@HantonSacu says : cope 😂>> <<@WhiteScorpio2 says : Basically, imagine a Super-Hitler and do everything he would want, not what would make your life or the lives of your fellow men. After all, people don't matter, only Super-Hitler does. If that's what wisdom is, I'd rather stay dumb.>> <<@bsting601 says : This guy is a nutter !>> <<@IXOY3007 says : We will look back on this and things like it, as a species with sheer disbelief, that anyone could believe such blatant and silly propaganda. “fEaRiNg GoD aCtUaLlY mAkEs YoU sMaRtEr ThAn MoSt PeOpLe”>> <<@firefly4f4 says : You're a terrible philosophy teacher if you think that question is even valid. Does light make sense? Does wind make sense? Does water make sense? All just as (in)valid to ask.>> <<@redblaze8700 says : "The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom." But fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.>> <<@redblaze8700 says : "The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom." But fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.>> <<@midlander4 says : Who is this utter jackass>> <<@WolfA4 says : Holy shit, I can't believe this guy is paid to teach other people.>> <<@SpaceLordof75 says : Remind me not to take a philosophy class from this guy, he sucks.>> <<@anthonycontarino4713 says : fear will turn to love by devine grace, God leads you to himself>> <<@CNCmachiningisfun says : *LYING* theists, and their kiddie fiddling gods!>> <<@Ping0309 says : damn prageru really does make shit videos>> <<@tomfrombrunswick7571 says : Are you seriously an academic? If there was an objective standard of morality then there would be clear truths meaning that morality was universal and not subject to change. If we look at you Christian chaps we find that in the present you think slavery is bad. Yet St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas thought it was natural. In fact Christians took power in Europe at the time of Constantine. Slavery was not abolished till the 19th Century. How was it that you guys thought torture was a very fine method on investigating crimes until 1740. Was this not objectively always wrong? In reality is you look at the Catholic Encyclopedia they say with slavery that they thought the institution was not great but could be okay if Christian masters were inspired by religion in dealing with their slaves and this was backed up with legal protection. It was later after observing the practice over hundreds of years that the Church realized they were wrong. They learned from experience. The suggestion that if there is no objective morality exists people can do what they want is laughable. States create laws and morality so they can survive as states. China used Confucian morality as a means of binding people together to create a sense of solidarity.>> <<@kregorovillupo3625 says : No. Fear isn't the start of wisdom. When you fear something, when you panic, intelligent acts and wisdom are the first to go out of the window, when survival instinct kicks in. It's really true that religion inverts everything.>> <<@tontonbeber4555 says : Wisdom by fearing an imaginary being ... never heard something more stupid. Burning the bible should be the first step to wisdom.>> <<@Seticzech says : How to be more than stupld.>> <<@NowiGreen says : Fear of all those other things actually are tangible in the real world. People die, people can lose their jobs, and people can have to depend on others. People aren't being lifted up to heaven or thrown down to hell in our day to day people aren't being smited for calling your fictitious dictator thus. Also you missed the part in the study where beliefs such as haven and rewards in the afterlife have people behaving worse.>> <<@bladerunner3314 says : Wisdom, from a book that classifies bats as birds and thinks it's ok to sic bears on children that mock a bald guy ... HARD pass.>> <<@randomusername3873 says : The idea that bad mental healt somehow means the person lacks wisdom is one of the most repulsive things I've ever heard Thanks for showing once again how religion is pure evil>> <<@midlander4 says : After 5 minutes of utter garbage he asks us to make a tax deductible donation. You couldn't make it up 😂>> <<@UnconventionalReasoning says : Every time a person interpreted a religious text and tells another person how to live based on that, they are taking the role of the deity they claim to follow.>> <<@Angel-nl1hp says : Wisdom is being afraid of a phantom that only exists inside your head? Great start.... not.>> <<@Diviance says : Ah yes, wisdom only comes from being afraid... of something that doesn't exist...? Uh, what?>> <<@SilortheBlade says : This guy must have some really unintelligent students. Orrrrrrr, he is lying for jesus. I'm going to guess the latter.>> <<@dodo1opps says : Opinion...opinion...opinion...>> <<@skepticsinister says : It is unwise to fear that which does not exist. There is NO god of ANY holy book. ALL gods are strictly human manufactured fiction. ALL evidence and rules of evidence point to ZERO gods. God is fiction in EVERY religion, culture, and language, everywhere, every second of every day, 365. It is just an excuse to engage in hate and othering. Non-belief is JUSTIFIED! Christianity, Islam, Judaism are an absurdity full of hate and ignorance. The divinity of Jesus is fiction, likewise that of Mohammed, likewise Moses...etc for all religions for many thousands of years, ALL fiction. Your religion is false just as much as you believe the religion across the globe is false, no one gets to be right all by themselves, instead, EVERYONE’s religion are wrong. Human created god(s). Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century. The sooner humanity understands this, the sooner we can get to work in unison for humanity actual.>> <<@letstrytouserealscienceoka3564 says : Why would I fear a deity that I am infinitely more powerful than? I can move my mouse across my desktop, your deity can't move it the width of a single proton. It turns out that your deity is entirely subjective, it exists only in the minds of individual believers. Let us know when you can show that your deity objectively exists, that it is capable of affecting anything in objective reality, the reality that we all share. If you want to assert that your deity is beyond the purview of science you are admitting that your deity is only subjectively real because science can investigate, measure, and explain anything that is objectively real. All top-down origin scenarios (gods or the like first) necessarily include the infinite regression issue, something that cannot be defined away. If you reject the possibility of infinite regressions in objective reality then you also necessarily reject all top-down (deity first) origin scenarios. If you accept the possibility of infinite regressions in objective reality then you also necessarily accept that no deity can sit at the origin because top-down scenarios cannot have finite origins. Top-down origin scenarios just don't work. They are irrational, illogical, or both. Bottom-up origin scenarios (quantum fields or something more basal first) can work because quantum theory, supported by innumerable empirical experiments, shows that there are hard limits to how small and simple things can be. All of our available objective empirical evidence points exclusively and unambiguously to an objective reality that is built from the bottom up. One question: Did it ever occur to you that believing in something that no one has ever been able to show is even possible is about as foolish as it gets, especially if you base you entire worldview on the notion? Let us all know when you can actually show that deities are possible in objective reality, the reality that we all share.>> <<@tabularasa0606 says : A god you fear should not be worshiped. That god is an evil dictator.>> <<@CatNimbless says : remember when this channel was talking about atheists indoctrinating schools... well isn't that what this guy was doing to these college kids.>> <<@gowdsake7103 says : What an utterly corrupt and vile concept ! You have to fear to gain wisdom That is sick in the head As for taking iron age ignorance and superstition and claiming that is wise hmmm But worst of all is RE DEFINING wisdom by omitting the secular part of the definition ! That is why you are totally DISHONEST and immoral>> <<@billiwickey says : Just wondering why you lied about what the PLOS study you cited actually says? Hell's Bells, I didn't even have to read the entire summary, although I read the entire 2012 study, to see that you were lying and an intern had found what you needed to fit the narrative PragerU was paying you to espouse, to find exactly where you're cherry picked paraphrase broke.>> <<@markgraham2312 says : Very good!>> <<@martyski691 says : Fear is not a good basis for anything! Certainly not for wisdom. How can you hope to teach philosophy when you don't realise the inherent contradiction in fear of a loving God?>> <<@Anonymous247n says : Strange place to find a sermon. Since when is this a religious propaganda channel?>>
