Was not expecting a brief history of black metal from Professor Steinhart haha, can't recall ever seeing an interview where he talked about music. Recently purchased Atheistic Platonism and I'm looking forward to learning more about it. He mentioned Wolves in the Throne Room, I saw them in Boston a few years ago and their incense set off the fire alarms, causing us to all have to evacuate the building. 😂
Self-necessary Being makes more sense than self-negated Nothing. Being and "Necessary" may as well be synonyms. Steinhardt says it himself, "nothing doesn't exist". Langan puts it like this: Reality is a super tautology. Reality is a self-resolving paradox.
@@SamuelDevis89 thanks. I was a bit harsh, but I do strongly disagree with the professor's opinion. Thank you anyway for the interview. It's always good to hear an opinion and to keep one's mind open.
But I think that's where Steinhart is heading with his argument too. I took his point to be that there are no rituals, no religious experience in atheism, because once you have those, atheists are going to label you a theist. Against that, Steinhart wants people to be able to do worship, do rituals, magic or whatever, and still be able to say that they're atheists. So what he sees as confining or "artless" about atheism, is that it's allergic to religious art, yet doesn't have to be.

That’s hilarious, did they get everyone back in afterwards or was that the show over?!? 😂
Glad you enjoyed it 🤘
@SamuelDevis89 yeah, they funneled us back in and the band finished their set. It was a great time haha.

I totally disagree that there's no art in atheism. What an uninformed and biased view.
Rubbish. Sorry.
No need to be sorry, I appreciate people sharing their thoughts on these conversations 🍻🫶
