October 26 — Richard Carrier explains six reasons why we need a well-thought naturalist worldview.
Spoiler alert: “The gist of it is that all the questions that (when answered) comprise a worldview, directly matter to everyone in ways they might not have realized (especially in politics, but even in everyday life), and once we understand why naturalism is the most probable worldview (given current evidence), consequences follow in every area of our life (even in how we vote).”
