I have no reason to block you, you're an incredible source of cringe comedy

The question you have to ask yourself, is would you have blocked me had I not challenged you on it? Did I raise it so that you wouldn't? Who knows? But if this is your kind of comedy I am very happy to oblige you.

I don't block on principle unless it's a matter of genuine self-preservation. You're accusing one of the most famous atheists of our time of being a religious shill. This is comedic. In the age of quickly searchable information your willingness to go into combat unarmed is funny

Wait, who am I accusing of being a religious shill?

Oh lol. No, to be honest, I've never heard of him. I'll admit my ignorance here and you'll tell me it's impossible to have any knowledge on the subject without knowing of him.

The next best thing would be to have read the texts he considers formative to him. This includes Karl Popper, E. T. Jaynes, Bertrand Russel, Sagan, and many others I can't recall at present. It may sound like "name dropping" but hard work always sounds hard to lazy people

What is the point you are making exactly? You can't just point at names and books all handwavey and say "got em" and skip away? You've said nothing.

I'm not actually making any argument except that you should read more. Of anything even vaguely related to rationalism, really. The inferential distance is too great for someone of my limited abilities to bridge in the span of a few twitter comments, so I'm not really arguing.

Right, so it's an overly verbose "educate yourself" thing. As you were.

Yes, except in this case it's provably about what should be your own domain expertise already so...
