An atheist on Sigma Game finds it hard to abandon evolutionary psychology due to what he presumes are the religious motivations of the math and science that conclusively demonstrates its falsity.
Classic. Hyper-intelligence unable to reflect on its motivated reasoning. This is purely ad hom but I cannot take anyone seriously if they’re motivated by religion. It’s like listening to a fat chick who makes a living eloquently and rigorously debunking “beauty myths”.
I responded in the soft-spoken manner for which I am so well-known:
You’re literally retarded. No one cares if you take anyone seriously or not, much less why; the idea that “motivation” is ever relevant is foolish and feminine thinking. Here we specifically refuse to engage with the interminable questions about “why” for precisely that reason.
The math is what it is. The irreproducibility and illegitimacy of professional science is what it is. The observations of the behavioral patterns are what they are. Literally anyone, no matter what they believe or whatever happens to motivate them, can confirm the correctness and reality of those things.
You’re committing a basic logical fallacy known as “the genetic fallacy” here. If a thing is true, then it is true regardless of the individual stating that truth. If a beauty myth is false, then it is false whether it is shown to be false by a fat chick, a hot chick, or a skinny man.
If you were even half as intelligent as I am, then you would know that.
