I mean, atheists can be fun because they get really triggered with certain entailments.
But probably the funnest debates are some of the more...
idiotic cult types of people.
They actually end up being very comedic.
So I do a lot of comedic stuff.
So when we debate cult leaders, which we've debated several, those tend to be really funny.
So they're the most entertaining.
There was, that was very popular in 2000s.
And I kind of think they ran out of steam.
The worst things got in the West was,
less appealing atheism was because it has no explanatory power so when people start especially after covet and all that saw up like people noticed okay there's some really evil going on in the world yeah i mean like we need some explanation and these guys are basically saying there is no explanation nothing means anything right so atheism kind of loses steam um a lot of the youtube atheists that were big youtubers just kind of
peter dowell one of them was sticking bananas in his butt and they just like who cares that's gross weird stuff so and then other ones end up like marrying dudes that are women so uh people begin to see like this has nothing to offer i remember vividly someone telling me that sam harris the famous atheist was like really really smart he's really smart
Oh, yeah.
In fact, I mean, I think the tail end of that period was those debates with Jordan Peterson, and Peterson was really critiquing atheist presuppositions.
I felt like he could have even gone harder on those guys because they were already sort of losing the ground publicly.
But even Jordan Peterson is just sort of simple lines of questioning.
even even that wasn't enough really to like help like the atheists didn't have even enough response to sort of basic internal critiques which is a very effective way of debating and doing doing worldview debates is to do an internal critique where you show the the fundamental contradictions within another person's worldview yes that is one of the most devastating ways to go about debates and um i think peterson was was
aware enough to do that with those guys, whether it's Sam Harris or Matt Dillahunty or any of the atheists, that that was kind of the nail in the coffin for the atheists.
Then we had COVID and then people were just like, all right, we need an explanation for fricking demons.
These guys say there aren't demons.
