Has anyone actually listened to his debates? He posted this a few days ago, but I'll admit I've become lazy with Conservative and when I see two hours on a video I just close it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0USXvJfo38

I had nothing better to do, so I decided to check in with Conservapedia again. It turns out that Conservative's latest fad is pretending to be mysterious.Main talk page posted:Laika, I/we never said I was an American. Second, I/we don't believe USA exports have increased significantly under the Obama administration. Obama seems focused on wealth distribution, engaging in his wars, promoting homosexuality and playing golf and taking vacations.

Holy poo poo, Conservative is literally losing his loving mind. Like, actually descending into psychosis before our very eyes. Wow, how very "mysterious". A noted middle aged WASP from America that posts on a website run by another middle aged WASP from America that arguably promotes ONLY a middle aged WASP from America view point sure is pulling the wool over my eyes with this "we/she/he/us/I/pronoun" bullshit. I guess the best I can do is be glad that Conservative's raging mental illness has manifested itself in a way that doesn't involve people getting murdered or something.

I like that he's applying Sun Tzu's teachings to his allies. The implication is that he sees the other posters on Conservapedia among the enemies he is fighting against. Because, you know...Conservapedia...a place just lousy with loving liberals getting all up in his loving grill.

I personally like to think that Conservative now views himself as just that: the very concept of being Conservative. He has spent years raging against every fat atheist there is and making every ad Hilterum argument to be made; heck, as his ShockOfGod persona, he has literally proved (Republican-)Christianity to be objectively true. There was nothing left in this world that he could accomplish without ascending to a higher state of being; his mind having grown beyond the limitations foisted upon him by a physical existence. He is no longer a White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, he is a Worldwide, All-Seeing Presence. Gender? Age? These are but vestiges of his former shell. In his mind, he has ascended this physical plane and merged with the Minds of Reagan and Friedman to form a sort of Conservative Hive-Mind Triumvirate which will, at long last, wipe all traces of liberalism from planet Earth. The sad thing is, this is probably closer to the truth than it has any right to be since he is literally mentally loving ill.

I think he's reasoning along these lines: Eating food gives you energy. And since this formula says what energy equals, you can figure out how much energy you've eaten by using this formula. When m = 1 lb. of cake, the energy in that cake is 1*c2, hence the comment that eating a pound of cake increases your energy by the speed of light squared.

Ah ha ha ha wait that guy is arguing against the existence of things like alpha particles and Helium? I mean he's definitely arguing that neutrons and protons don't exist because I guess matter is against God but given that he refers to alpha particles and the guy specifically asks how he knows those 'particles' exist I'm kind of thinking he doesn't believe in them too. My main suggestion in that case is that he goes and finds himself a nice basement with some Radon gas to chill in for a while. EDIT: Ha ha gold! http://www.conservapedia.com/Radon Conservapedia on Radon posted:The EPA claims that it is a health hazard and causes cancer in people and animals exposed to it, though many conservative commentators and some industrial hygienists[1] state that the dangers are significantly exaggerated. Their 'industrial hygienist' source is hilarious and while I have no intention of reading through that drivel flip through if you want to see someone claim ionizing radiation is A-OK number one for your health and will prevent lung cancer.

They're projecting every insecurity about their own religious views onto the guys trying to defend basic physics. "Have you ever seen an electron? Ever held it in your hand? Sounds like you're putting blind faith in that physicist's words.  ""Your scientific arguments are just another form of religion. Feel free to believe that mumbo jumbo, but don't you dare push your views onto me. "

The scientific process operates in a completely different way than they're used to- it's much easier for them to label science as they would any other heretical belief system and dismiss it.

I wasn't really referring to every religious person, as I'm aware that there are plenty of religious scientists who compartmentalize well enough, but these retards at Conservapedia are just insane. It kind of reminds me of reading PZ Myers' Pharyngula blog. Occasionally, Eric Hovind and his group of religious clods invade the comments section on entries about religion or creationism and it's some pretty amazing idiocy like Conservapedia. They start in with all the presupposition bullshit that reads like Buddhist koans and my eyes roll so far and so quickly that my retinas almost detach.

There's a great Patton Oswalt bit about how Jesus' miracle powers seem so weird taken together, especially in context of him being like a comic superhero. Like, healing hands and resurrection are awesome necromancer style powers but this whole fish and bread thing seems kind of like Jesus once had a sidekick with those powers and the comic writers just wrote out the sidekick and gave Jesus those lovely extra powers.

Reminder that Andy graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in electrical engineering and then went to Harvard and graduated magna cum laude, worked as a device physicist for Intel and as an engineer at the applied physics lab of John Hopkins University and Bell Labs yet is somehow stupid enough to think that something as non-controversial (and relevant to his career as a PERSON WHO WORKED IN loving PHYSICS) as "E=MC2" is fake, liberal bias.
