So I’m probably going to be an Elementary blog for much of the foreseeable future.
When Teen Wolf comes out you can still expect lots of Allison and feminism, but I’ve been growing weary of the TW fandom, so why not join the Elementary one?
Also I now have (romantic) ships for Elementary! Yay! So expect some amounts of Joan/Moriarty and Holmes/Moriarty shipping. Also (of course)...

johnlock? no. john locke. right to property. social contract. classical liberalism.
Once I got so excited because I saw someone whose url was ilovejohnlock and I got super excited because I thought they were a philosophy nerd like me, but they were actually just a Sherlock/John shipper and I was so disappointed.

I just feel so protective of Elementary all the time. Like usually when people dis my favourite things I quietly seethe in anger but with Elementary it’s like “WHOA THERE WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT MY SHOW”

And apparently this makes this version of Irene Adler better than Sherlock’s Irene Adler because it makes her more idependent.
Still. No.
I haven’t watched Elementary. I refused to watch it because of A. It’s a stolen idea they stole from the BBC (and yes it does seem like they made it their…
Wow, this is wrong in so many levels...

Best thing I've read on tumblr.
PLOT TWIST: THIS IS NOT TRUE. ALBERT EINSTEIN SAID NO SUCH THING. THIS IS AN ANECDOTE TO PROVE A POINT AND AS SUCH CALLS FOR THE MYTHICAL "SMART MAN" TO SHOW UP THE EVIL ATHEIST PROFESSOR. http://www.snopes.com/religion/einstein.asp

Still more: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/religion/a/einstein_god.htm
I could keep going: but I won't.
But Hey: Why let a little something like truth stand in your way?
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smell your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir… Exactly ! The link between man and GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
That student was Albert Einstein.
PLOT TWIST: THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT!
Guess what?: You CAN see evolution! It's happening right now! It's a fact, not something that must only be taken on faith! WOW!
And there's more: You can see it in the prevalence of the lactase enzyme in current modern humans. You can see it in the fossil evidence of hominids that has been accumulated by scientists around the world. Evolution requires no faith, only eyes and a thirst for knowledge. Amazing!
AND: we CAN know that the professor has a brain!
How you ask? Well: We have documented and proven that all humans have brains! This is science, not faith! You can SEE brains! You can THOUCH brains! You can SMELL brains too if you're so inclined! People have brains! All of them! The professor is a human, therefore he has a brain! Golly! That's called deductive reasoning and unlike the kind of reasoning used above, it is actually both valid AND sound!
Now about God: No one has documented the existence of god. Those who have claimed to have seen god have not been able to prove they have, and even the bible fails to give coherent testimony on any of the most important parts of the story of Jesus. They can't even keep their own stories right! God is unfalsifiable, unprovable, he is completely different from evolution or the human brain. THEY ARE NOT COMPARABLE!
But you where right: Darkness is the absence of light. Cold is the absence of heat. You cannot measure the dark or the cold but you CAN measure light and heat.
However: You cannot measure god. As I said, he's simply not prove-able!
But I'm not done: This uses a skewed notion of faith and science to try and discredit actual discourse on strongly held religious dogmas! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? It means your being a douchebag.
Basically: people like to use the Atheist Professor trope to attack atheists by presenting them as confrontational assholes who like to shove their beliefs in people's faces in order to make their points seem less poignant.
But you know what? It doesn't work: You make things like this that only really serve to show how little you understand of science and try to tear apart people who's views intimidate you
But you're the assholes shoving their beliefs in other people's faces: Atheists don't knock on your door and try to convert you. Atheists are a minority, taking up only 2.01% of the population of the world and yet religious people like you are constantly vilifying us.
So what I'm saying is basically: Go fuck yourself.

WOW TUMBLR SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN YOU
So there seems to be a lot of hate heading towards Dawkins because of this panel on women and minorities in science that he was in with Bill Nye and other prominent scientists. This hate is completely misdirected. Dawkins was not stating his own opinions when he said ‘perhaps dumbing down in science is needed to include women and minorities’. He was paraphrasing a man at one of his...
