"He gives philosophy a bad name" HOW DARE HE... that's my job.

[nebulan]

Prageru had a poll that was like "what's more important, intelligence or wisdom" and i was quite pleased that even Prageru polls had comments like "depends if you're a wizard or a cleric"

[Krueger]

"I don't believe your book" "well my book says you're not smart then"

[rubencampos]

"Just as most children fear their father" wtf, I would be heartbroken if I ever learnt that my child fears me. This guy is a psycopath.

Fear of God is the beginning of prioritizing reacting emotionally over thinking critically

[SirSicCrusader]

Oh hey some guy with a beard told me this was going to happen today... I think he was a wizard.

[TheRemarkableN]

I have to say it…Fear is the Mind Killer

[JamesRichardWiley]

I don't think that failed prophecies, rape, genocide, imaginary beliefs, human sacrifice, and strawman arguments reflect true wisdom.
I prefer the wisdom of direct experience over a lifetime of learning how reality works.

Bertrand Russell had it right: “The end of fear is the beginning of wisdom.”

”Wait until your father comes home” is such a disgusting thing to threat a kid with.

[chaosinfusion]

It’s such a transparent power grab to place “god” at the top of a hierarchy, then claim to speak on god’s behalf for the benefit of the otherwise ignorant and “unwise” masses.

[ronrogers]

"Thou shall not" vs. "Thou shall". Placing your own moral obligations solely on the backs of others.

[DoctorBiobrain]

Wisdom means doing what you’re told or else. Genius!

I am reminded of the old saying

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it into a fruit salad."

[RustyWalker]

You know what else has risen?
The number of tools and competent professionals to recognise and diagnose mental health issues.

[jameshicks]

There is only one definition of wisdom: knowing that even though a tomato is a fruit, it shouldn't go in a fruit salad.

[SomeFinnishGuyJukka]

"The beginning of all wisdom is to admit the facts."
- President Juho K. Paasikivi

[aemiliadelroba]

“ fear of anything or anyone “ is not the beginning of wisdom !

It is beginning of abandoning rational thinking and replacing it with superstition and myths .
😮😮😮

[morzemus]

No one but theist could say they're ONLY the second most important being in existence and still call themselves humble.

Life having been presumed to make "sense" is where the PU guy goes wrong. Who says it has to?
