People are using 'yeah' more casually, like saying 'yeah, whatever'. This is different from the strong arguments of New Atheism leaders like Richard Dawkins.

‘[I]t is unhelpful to try and reduce the depth of human experience to any singular phenomenon … . Human identities are deeply and infinitely complex, so why would we not ultimately need multiple frameworks through which to understand the concept of the “self?”’

It feels like the only #skeptics I used to look up to that didn't go completely insane were either women or mostly on youtube or smaller scale blogs. #atheism #newatheism

Nel 1949 nasceva il giornalista e scrittore Christopher Hitchens, tra gli esponenti del #newatheism e critico della religione, in particolare dell'islam. Tra le opere più note: "La posizione della missionaria" sulla controversa madre Teresa di Calcutta e "Dio non è grande".

CW: caution - the fight against christofascism, and what role atheists can play
When the US wakes up of its slumber to find itself at war with christofascism, don't let those white "new atheist" leaders get a word in even edgewise.
They told us all who they were when they tried to make Islam out to be the big threat, and they just kept on telling us, with their alliances with TERFs, racist intellectuals (the Bell Curve fuckwit), etc. etc.
They are on the side of the Christofascists.

Did you know #NewAtheism is being ressurected in #India?
I'm not talking about the #FourHorsemen or their white, middle class disciples (but there is a connection!)
- "old #atheism" associated with #rationalism and #communism in a region of South India (#Kerala)
- there, new atheism was introduced in part by dissemination of Western #newAtheists (now spread in #esSENSEglobal's Summer camps and other church-like activities)
- India's new atheism seems linked to #caste and #neoliberal #politics -

I think, in terms of #existentialism, why the whole #newatheism is such a failure is its adherents seem to want to declare themselves enlightened simply by rejecting obviously untrue traditional beliefs. But that's the starting point. From there one has to construct a morality, i.e. a meaning greater than just the finite self.

CW: hot take, don't burn yourself
#NewAtheism Is a dumb fucking name

After two chapters, it's clear that Hedges likes to labour the point, and needs a more assertive editor to prune his work down to the essentials. The self-deluding fundamentalism of the neocon #NewAtheism has been obvious to me since Hitchens and his ilk started defending the US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. But surely even someone to whom this is news doesn't need 75 pages of mostly repetitive prose to get the point.
