![]() ![]() Which was the exact point I stopped regarding him as arguing in good faith. I'd estimate that it's around two dozen over the last twenty years. Wherein, after the application of considerable pressure, Clark finally admitted that he was basing his opinion of all those who choose not to believe in deities on a sample-size he described as follows: I used to think he genuinely was looking for debate and discussion, but then I read his piece on atheists: Essentially because his intention is to encourage outrage by trolling. I forgot where I was going with this.Ĭlark is perfectly capable of holding any number of mutually contradictory and ridiculous positions simultaneously. Anyway, it all sucks, so I decided to get into the system in order to prevent me and mine from getting fucked over by the system. "Excuse me blood-covered and violent drunk, but did you feel your care today was poor, fair, good, very good, or excellent?" Not to mention a lot of this evidence-based shit is just based on cherry picked studies funded by pharmaceutical companies to push drugs while they are still on patent. ![]() I was literally required to use the phrase "I will take excellent care of you" because getting a rating of excellent was so fucking important to these assholes.

Now looking for great things from both sites in the new year!Īlso, I really look forward to the "Science is broken" article. So thanks again for the many interesting posts and topics raised, and thanks to Ken for sharing his space so freely with you. I certainly look forward to seeing where Status 451 takes us, although whether it finds a permanent home on my already full home-page remains to be seen… That said, something did feel a little 'off' in the last 12 months or so, and I suspect setting out on a fresh new venture might revitalize a spark that felt missing this last year. While I rarely agree with the full extent of your posts, they almost unfailingly give me something to think about, and reveal sides of a debate I am rarely exposed to otherwise (internet being the natural echo chamber it is, unless you pay great care to diversity in your sources).

It feels like a passing of the guard, with new contributors coming in and Clark moving on.
