Is there a book that adequately refutes "Dawkins-redditism" that even redditors can persuade?

>> No.19999432

The Imperative of Responsibility by Hans Jonas does it very well, especially since it does so internally.
In general, the philosophy of Hans Jonas accepts Darwinism and uses it to counterargue all kinds of materialist-reductive redditisms. Furthermore, it does so with the express aim that we have a responsibility to save the planet, and that sort of treehugging gay shit simply cannot be refused by plebbitors of today.
His work is a fine part of the continental tradition, but much too often overlooked. Much of what he wrote is visionary for (or was straight up plagiarized by) later analytic attempts to discredit Dawkins-redditism via such notions as, for instance, panpsychism.

If that is what you meant by "Dawkins-redditism", which honestly - I'm too fucking old for you kids. Cottagecore dark academia big tiddy goth gentle femdom gf straight bussin fr fr no cap? I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about 90% of the time. I take "Dawkins-redditism" to be in the ballpark of unreflected scientism, positivism, eliminativism in terms of mind, materialism, and so on. There's a definite gestalt incorporating those elements, but whether that is what you meant with Dawkins-redditism, no idea.

Most philosophy of science can refute gay Reddit scientism. Kuhn talks about how science runs of fads and Popper wrote extensively about how science just gives us good estimates (which are always subject to change) and that the Reddit style of perceiving scientists as wise shamans who know the secrets of the universe is stupid. Also look into the debates around scientific realism cause that makes the average Redditor furious

No. The Horsemen of New Atheism curbstomped, bitch slapped, and spat on any relevant arguments for god. The politics they derive from this is off, but it is a purely pragmatic error. There is no god, we need to seize the reigns of our own life like the Men we are.

The Four Horsemen never even began to address this "steelmanned" argument for the existence of God. A sufficiently advanced superintelligent AI would be indistinguishable from a God.

Nobody performatively hates these things, the only reason to performatively believe in something is for some sort of gain and there's nothing to be gained by believing the wrong things in the current year.
