Free Will Deniers
BTW, for being such a master meditator, Harris’s face sure looks like a life of great stress.
Blocked By Jerry Coyne/Determinism as Woke on Steroids
Atheist Jerry Coyne blocked me on Twitter. I tweeted: Coyne actually replied and I then replied: Coyne then blocked me even though I was not stalking, hostile, or obnoxious. I was focused on his claim that determinism would improve society … Continue reading

Diets and Determinism

The Hypocrisy of Harris and Coyne
We have seen that both Sam Harris and Jerry Coyne have condemned Lawrence Krauss for his sexual harassment of women. Harris said that he believes the women, that Krauss needs to apologize, and that he is in a position to … Continue reading

The Turpins, polyamory, and a deterministic legal system
Jerry Coyne is once again mocking other atheist leaders for not being vocal enough in support of determinism. He is befuddled as to why Dawkins and others won’t come out and champion his old school determinism, mocking them as Scholars of … Continue reading
