THE USUAL...

Still recovering from the shock that birds don’t exist

_"Nietzsche is dead"_

~God, 1900

It's false that nothing exists because your mother exists and takes up all logical space. 🤯

[famiahamid]

This comment section is so chaotically filled with either people where the joke goes over their head, people who are AGGRESSIVELY atheist or theist, and people who realize onlyfans philosophy is what’s been missing from their lives all along. Humor exists, guys. 😢

[donrayjay]

There is no position so stupid that some philosopher somewhere hasn’t adopted it. One man’s April fools is another man’s PhD thesis

I stink, therefore I am. Ontological nihilism debunked, video refuted, its over.

New Video: “God is Alive”

[NotGovernor]

I knew immediately it was a joke because his videos are never only 17 minutes.

[davidofoakland]

LMAO! I had already concluded that your arguments were a bit of a stretch, but didn't realize that it was an April's Fools Day video till the end. Good job!

[extremelylargeslug]

I’m convinced.

The debate is finally over.

[samcooperyoutube]

Oh right, it's April 1st. HAHA Good one, Joe! "Nada. Zip. Zilch." LOL

You have no idea how happy I was as a theist to see an ontological argument against God's existence just to find out it was an April Fool's joke. I HAD THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE, THINKING I WAS GOING TO GET TO PLAY AROUND WITH MY ONTOLOGICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR GOD TO TRY AND DEBUNK THIS BUT NO, IT WAS AN APRIL FOOLS.

[lament]

ok but we really do need onlyfans philosophy

[rodrigoromero]

God's been real quiet since this dropped

[CTCTraining]

That is very creative/dangerous derivation.... so I’m afraid I’m going to have to confiscate your Deriving License. 😀👍

[itachigrain]

LOL I had suspicions when the arguments started veering off to very weak supporting claims LOL good one though! Had me in the first half ngl.

[scrobblesbyDJGunbound]

Have you ever read Kitaro Nishida's concept of God as 'Absolute Nothingness' ? Guess you would enjoy reading some 'Kyoto School' stuff, heh

[calebp]

Damn, it feels like last week that we had the last April Fools :0

We should have an ethical rule/manner/bon-ton in the field of philosophy which states that if someone posts a syllogism to you, you are ethically obligated to respond even in the most minimal way or otherwise (e.g. "I don't think they work, refer to some of my work on this"), its impolite, akin to ignoring someone if they say hello to you. We can call it Schmid's Law, named after someone who needs to follow this law the most and after whom the law needed to be invented *wink *wink* 😝 After all, how could you POSSIBLY have something more important to do in your life than reply to random YouTube comments. Not like you're in a PhD program or anything like that..

Hilarious video - and very interesting paper. A debate or convo between Westerhoff and Kabay (defender of trivialism) would be exciting; we would get to see two of the most counterintuitive positions of all time duke it out!
