Was my conversion to Compatibilism satirical?

The essay presents an extremely exaggerated and satirical take on compatibilism that does not accurately represent the philosophical position or arguments. It uses inflammatory language, strawman arguments, and sarcasm rather than engaging with the actual philosophical debates around free will and moral responsibility in a substantive way.

My philosophy on poetry (and art)

You’re probably wondering about that quote in the beginning. Due to lacking engagement, I sometimes ask people to look at my poems when I can afford it. I get very few eyes on my work, let alone those who like it. It’s not about fame, but I consider it to be about reach. I made this article because the few people who take the time to understand my poetry describe it as 'masterful.' Yet the one thing that holds me back is understanding.

I’m a compatibilist now, and I’m not looking back

It makes so much sense. I finally get it now. Honestly, even if there’s some merit to determinism, we can easily tell where choice begins and deterministic influence ends. Even if we can’t… Well, let's not change anything. After all, it would upset too many things. And besides, why does any of this have to touch the concept of moral responsibility? It's for the benefit of society, so we should have it. And besides, he still chose to do it. There are societal positives for blame and praise. It makes no sense to overturn that for a maybe.

What do you even do? (An A-spec perspective) ft. DarkTeaTime

The a-spectrum is a moniker given to people on one of two spectrums: Aromantic and Asexual. It can also, at times, reference people who are agender, from what I’m told. I myself am what’s called aro-ace, so I’m in both sub-spectrums. I want this article to be mainly made for those who are unfamiliar with us a-spec people, and so due to that, I need to go over some terms.

The COST of Theism and why you should second guess religion

These 8 points together constitute a powerful and logically rigorous argument that exposes a profound problem in the traditional Christian understanding of God's justice and faithfulness. They show how the core doctrines of Christianity, when combined with uncontroversial historical facts, lead to a conclusion that is deeply troubling and difficult to reconcile with the idea of a loving and trustworthy God.

The True Present: A Philosophy of Time, Consciousness, and Existence

This formula I’ve made is helping me develop a new philosophy of time, and while the conclusions may be potentially unsettling, a lot can be taken from it. It has to deal with time, consciousness, agency, the universe, and even the nature of existence itself. It’s so ironic because I tend to dislike metaphysics but my work has gotten increasingly more metaphysical as of late.
