Aronra is an angry stupid atheist who doesn't know any philosophy. He is best known for his Youtube series that thoroughly debunks creationism in strenuous detail while simultaneously giving history and science lessons on evolution.
I have had a few interactions with Aronra in the past but the recent events made him look like moron of a clown than ever. He had a short debate with the Young Earth Creationist Christian named Mr Batman and did extremely bad. Not only did he not answer Mr Batman's questions he said some very ridiculous things.
1) Consciousness pre-exists everything
2) Rocks are conscious
3) The majority of Cosmologists think the universe is eternal
It's not that some respectable philosophers don't hold to panpsychism. It's that Aronra openly admits he doesn't know any philosophy and doesn't care about it. How does he think he is going to defend panpsychism?
Well I asked him that. What is the argument for Panpsychism and I got blocked on Twitter and Facebook.
It's hilarious the Facebook post which is a screen shot of Aronra telling me in Youtube comments that he has prepared a 10,000 paper to present at Cambridge University on the philosophy of mind. 😁
Aronra immediately blocks me on Facebook after I tag him in the post but one of his stupid fans comes along to try to defend him. I expose that the guy doesn't understand WTF Aronra is saying either and then the fan blocks me!
It's hilarious and sad. I find it very sad. The guy is a coward and a joke but this is one Atheist Community's heros. It's an embarrassment to atheists. It's an embarrassment to humanity.

Gosh, that was a lot of vitriol.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you understood what he was saying correctly?
I mean, he IS right about the consensus among cosmologists, as (judging by the data) it is looking like time didn't actually exist before the universe expanded, which would make "the beginning" an incoherent concept.
I remember the bit about consciousness always existing, and I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that, but it does at least seem like consciousness is an emergent property of living things, as even paramecia show a flight or fight response when enveloped by an amoeba.
(which was the example he tried to use in the video, but the word "paramecia" escaped him at the time)
That of course is not panpsychism in the conventional sense, so I'm not sure that is the actual position he is supporting.
Aronra said in that video that the consensus among cosmologists is that the Universe always existed like there was no Big Bang. Aronra wouldn't be able to defend rocks being conscious which is what he is claiming now. Did you see he claimed he has a 10,000 word essay prepared on the Philosophy of Mind that he is going to read at Cambridge University? The guy is a clown
DeleteAs far as I know the consensus, I believe it goes more along the lines of, "We currently have no way of telling what happened before the Big Bang." As far as things always existing or not there is no consensus, as there is no way of knowing or testing.
DeleteIt sounds like Aron is making an assumption with the law of conservation of mass energy, whereas, "the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant" from there since we know the total amount of mass and energy =/= 0, you can infer that there has always been mass/energy in some form.
He never said there was no big bang from what I heard, nor did he imply that.
I don't know anything about the consciousness stuff, that's not my forte.
Such a shame. This idiot lost and now does exactly what Christians do. Just insult.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who wrote this has such a false sense of pride.
Aronra is mad
ReplyDeleteErr, projecting much sweetheart?
ReplyDeleteActually you are the one without any valid argument, yet you dig your intellectual hole deeper with this childish, and utter unintelligent attempt of yours.
You guys are full of butthurt hatred and simply pathetic.
But you did one good thing with this!
You've represented the idiocy of the "devoted" believers brilliantly... :)
calm down
DeleteHe actually didn't claim that consciousness predated the universe. They were specifically talking about lifeforms. So that's a strawman.
