    I'm an Xray technologist. As soon as I heard Lee go into complaining that we don't teach about atypical anatomical features, my mind went right back to my lessons on body habitus. It is very important in my job to be able to look at a person and make a well educated guess at what level, say, their stomach is at. Or where the diaphragm is.

      Exactly. He needs to accept that things have moved on. There are unlimited genders. Woman, man, trans, fluid etc. Some relate to gastronomy and there are subcategories within relating to beverages in particular. And within those beverages there are achohol based and those with zero alcohol. Within the alcohol based beverages I’m tending towards the cocktail side of things and can’t help but feel I’m identifying most strongly with bourbon as the major ingredient.

    • @russellg9622
      @russellg9622 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      He never argued about gender I don’t think. Are there more than two sexes in biology? Asexual I don’t think is is a different sex, it’s a combination of the two but even if it’s the third sex is there a 4th or more sexes?

    • @TheMightyPatapon
      @TheMightyPatapon 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      @@russellg9622 Indeed, Lee didn't argue about the concept of gender being one distinct from biological sex. Their problem seemed to be not liking that new information about how we think about sex biologically is being taught (or perhaps being pushed to be taught) in schools (though they never specified where). Asexuality has to do with the physical act of sex and is a sexual preference in the same way that homosexuality, bisexuality, or heterosexuality are preferences. Asexuality simply means one does not have any desire to engage in the physical act of sex.
      If you want a really good break down of more current and nuanced understanding of biological sex (from this point on when I say sex, I will mean biologically) in humans, I'd suggest Forrest's video titled "Sex and Sensibility." It does a good job of going over the topic. If I were to attempt to summarize it myself, I'd say that it on a species level, it is not entirely incorrect to say there are two sexes in the human species. This does a good job of giving a simplified understanding of what sex is. However, as with all descriptions of the real world, this does not fully encompass the totality of variety within humans. For example, if you were to say that there are only ever possibly two sexes, male and female, based solely on XX or XY chromosomes, you would necessarily be excluding the existence of people who do not have that configuration of chromosomes. Even further down the rabbit hole, you can find people who have XY chromosomes, but with a functioning uterus. Reality is far more complex than our ability to condense it down into language or concepts.
      Simply put, as Forrest and Emma repeated in the call, there is nothing wrong with expanding our understanding of the topic to include more people.
      If I were to relate this back to my field, taking an x-ray or CT scan of a person is not a one to one picture of what is in the human body. It is only ever an approximation. That's true of all photography. Those images can be very useful in their own right, but it's always important to understand that some amount of information about what is actually in the person is now missing in the transfer from real life physical bodies to 2-D representations of the body.
      I hope this helped. Cheers.

      @@AtheismPoisonsEverything: Atheists do believe there is something wrong about slavery, as no human should be enslaved ever. The first commandment should have been "Thou Shalt Not Own Another Human Being." Leon Trotsky was an atheist and murdered many people; however, not in the name of atheism, but in the name of power and control. Christians, Muslims, and other religious figures have also committed atrocities; here are a few of them.
      The massacre in Rwanda, 800,000 dead in 100 days. (Mostly Christians killing Christians.)
      2 World Wars started by theists (Germany, Czarist Russia, Japan, Italy) 90 million dead in 10 years.
      10 million killed in the 30-year war. (More Christians killing Christians).
      The Lushon rebellion during the Tang Dynasty, 30 million deaths (not atheists).
      The 100-year-war, 3 million dead (yep, Jesus followers).
      The wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo (5 million dead in 6 years) (again, Christians).
      40 million dead in the Three Kingdom Wars in China (not atheist).
      6 million dead in the Napoleonic wars (again, Christians).
      So, what have we here with all of the wars, killings, atrocities and genocides going on with religion? Isn't religion supposed to be peaceful and bring harmony to the world? I guess not as look at what has been going on now in the Middle East for thousands and thousands of years over the land with each side believing the land was given to them by a god and the little children and infants suffer. Shameful! There will never be peace if people do not obtain the critical thinking skills they so sorely need in order to stop all of the horrible killing, strife, sadness, starvation, etc. etc. etc. etc.
      Imagine peace and maybe someday it will come to fruition.

    I didn’t have a formal deconstructing phase - I was basically pushed out of my Christian circles for being gay and I rejected their god over time on my own without really thinking about it. But I have had so much anger and (justified) hatred of religious fundamentalism. I am not always the person to have this kind of conversation. You are both kinder than I would be, while still being tough. It’s given me tools to discuss these things with nuance and to talk to people who used to be in my life.

The horrific things I experienced and witnessed left so many doubts in my mind. Also, the very traumatic medical issues with my spouse, I just really started questioning my own faith.

      Not only that, but the "morals" that texts such as the Bible give you have 2 problems: 1, they aren't even moral, you don't need to stone your son to death if he doesn't listen to you and gets drunk (see Deuteronomy 21: 18-21). 2: The bible also threatens people that don't follow it or criticize it with.. erm... eternal torment. Christians claim that "God" is forgiving without taking into consideration that the moment you get sent to hell, "God" completely just stops caring about you. Also, killing gay people is kinda cringe ngl (Islam isnt much better either tbh)

      You don't even have to go as far as to wonder whether a malicious AI will be able to take over control of a nuclear plant, for instance. Just the effect on the ability to generate "fake news" seems like a game changer to me. The weak link will likely remain the human for now, but that is a seriously weak link. If an Indian scammer can get a naive person to hand them over all of their money, or hackers can take hostage the computer grid of a hospital, then please don't be surprised if deception with AI allows this to take on much more egregious forms.

The most important realization i ever had is that science terms do not PRESCRIBE what something IS, they just attempt to DESCRIBE it. Saying humans are male and female isn't a RULE. It doesn't tell humans what to be, it only describes how they typical present. It is for ease of discussion, not for ousting individuals from society. And animals don't talk to us so we have no idea if they have "gender". We are humans w language and we can and do discuss and investigate what we are.

    Richard called The Line too saying the same BS and when they showed how flawed his hypothesis was he got all butt hurt and condescending, and hung up! So now I can see how well he fared here! Facepalm protection strapped on, and ready to go!
    Back: Yep his opening was the exact same script (literally read as such or memorized), and again he was shown to think way too much of how far AI is, and was way too confident of the outcome, and when shown fallacious he just took the easy way out and hung up!
    I wouldn't at all be surprised if he does the very same thing many callers do: Call more shows and try his luck, or call again with different hosts (and of course complain about the ones who already showed he can easily be wrong)... He is not looking for answers, he's fishing to feed his conformation bias! He should call Joe Rogan, and Joe will be all fascinated by him...

      To be fair, it's not Richard's hypothesis, the phrase "technological singularity" was coined by mathematician, computer scientist and yes, science fiction author Vernor Vinge in his 1993 essay "The Coming of the Technological Singularity" which you can read on NASA's website. The concept is taken very seriously by social planning organizations like the Long Now Foundation, which has hosted multiple lectures, pro and con, on the subject -- Vinge thinks it's the most likely scenario, Bruce Sterling thinks it isn't.

There are big problems with all of those predictions, because they are based on too many other predictions, some that are still physical impossibilities as of yet, like that we should already have working quantum computing, which we don't, that AI will get things right which it often doesn't... and that we it's creators won't build in fail-safes and have the ability to just cut the power...

      ​@@TlalocTemporalAstroturfing? Like everyone isn't already leery about it and there isn't already enough fear mongering to warrant paying people, or it's forbidden to speak about which it isn't...
      I agree that someone confident in their prediction wouldn't need a script, or not be able to say it in different ways, to communicate to people with differing understanding, but there's justified confidence like a scientist has in a well established and obviously correct theory, and being confident in a mere belief by some mental compulsion where one goes by the data, and the other the feeling, data be damned!
      I noticed that every time he was countered with other possibilities he immediately jumps to some other mere unsubstantiated claim, as if it nullified their counter... typical blind faith believer unwilling to process any information that could lead to showing them wrong, because they didn't call to see if their belief holds up to scrutiny, but to fish for confirmation that they are indeed absolutely right, so they can reinforce their belief, which often leads to the belief that everyone is conspiring against them, or has already been brain washed by "THEY"... The fact that he wouldn't even consider any counter argument, no matter how valid, and even much more probable, and then quickly hung up as soon as he saw it was going know where, can be an indicator this guy is indeed overconfident, and somewhat psychotic, and I can easily see him on a rampage trying to get out his "Information" and calling all kinds of shows, and writing who knows... I would love to see him on Joe Rogan!!!
      Isn't it funny that every doomsday sayer predicting the unavoidable and unstoppable end of civilization waste their every waking minute pushing it on others as if that can avoid the unavoidable? Why not just live it up until it happens in the knowledge that if it's unavoidable for all, then they are included, and no amount of preaching it can help?
      I guess that every blind faith believer still has a sliver of doubt, or even a whole bunch deep down, and it's just something wrong in their processing center to not consider it.

      Sheep so ppl like lee.. wolves in sheep cloths try hard and determine to try to convince majority white sheep to focus on majority generalized stuff as if including the black sheep stuff takes away from the majority.. 😂 lee may look like a sheep .. smell like one.. sound like one.. but he leaves paw prints not hoof prints… 😂 lee is a rat.. he’s one of those ppl that’s a enemy within ur ranks… it’s like racism.. I’d rather battle an open racist .. I can see my enemy and I know they don’t like me and they know I don’t like them.. but the racist who who doesn’t sound like they are racist and in ur ranks and help u fight racist but undermine you and do racist shit… literally pat u on the back but stab u when they can… like how Emma called him out say it went we agree on this and that but about the generalized vs inclusion stuff? Wut are u getting at.. exactly wut point are u really tryna make.. 😂 exactly my view the whole time.. example after example by them and he just couldn’t grasp it or it’s intentional dishonest and has a foul motive but trying to appear like a sheep ..he’s a fking wolf.. 😂 he’s trying so hard.. the determination is insane to have the black sheep minority excluded from the generalized white sheep.. 💀 he’s a RAT.. a WEASEL.. a snake.. 😂

Just one good piece of evidence will make me believe in a god.” Again, not verbatim except the “one thing!” phrase. Also, Josh, I was in your position where all the evidence was stacking against my belief system that I had been born into to (Christianity) and I’ve always wanted to know what was true no matter what. I feel like the rest of my family convinced themselves that a god is real and just never looked into anything that would be against their beliefs unless it was in a setting like church where a pastor could manipulate their emotions and play on intellectual dishonesty to keep them believing.
