Current Affairs The Andrew Tate thread

What prophecies have come true? I think the biggest prophecies coming true are the ones predicting the end times, and what is happening in our world now. Things like sexual promiscuity/immorality, abortions, rise of atheism, rise in liberal ideas and so on becoming more and more common and accepted in our society.

I think what people like you and a lot of other people who have devoted their time into science, need to understand that the creator of this universe is able to call all the shots in how we perceive the world to be or how it existed and so on. What humans need to also realize is that scientific findings cannot be the absolute truth either. Nobody actually knows the actual truth of how the universe came about. You can compile the best scientific data, models, research and you still wouldn't be able to convince people that science has the definitive 100% truth. Only the creator has the truth so for most people, it's much easier to put all your faith into the creator rather than humans with their "trial and error" studies.
There is no doubt that we live in troubled times however such troubled times have existed and been interpreted as 'end times' since the rather vague prophesies existed. I mean - the temptation towards sexual promiscuity is inevitable given billions of years of the evolution of sex drive - to predict that is like predicting the seasons. Predicting atheism is a construct to make people keep the faith that is making the prophesy - its like saying "one day people will grow tired of football and the crowds and money will dry up" - then sitting back and waiting to be right.

These are 'shooting fish in a barrel' predictions- I'd be more inclined to give it credence if some sort of timescale were given by an allegedly all knowing creator. Equally as more people adopt atheism, because education and science removes the need for a God to exist to explain why we are here, there will inevitably be a loss in what that religion's morals. Hardly a prophesy - just a cause and effect.
I deplore the decline in morals caused by the vacuum in leadership as religion declines. However, I would argue that the morals of good behaviour in society existed before eg Christianity and Islam were a thing. They are established rules that make it easier to get along. I'd suggest that religion has been used (rightly) to impose moral behaviour but is not the source of it. What we need to do is establish a societal system based on reason as to why we should behave in certain ways ... like we have done with drink driving and not smoking in places where it is imposed upon others ... aren't these signs of modern morals that make life better? No god needed.

There's no debate yet around 40% of Americans believe that dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
By this I presume you mean 40% of those in the US - not "americans." The US is a unique product borne of those in the UK who could not find success running away to a country with no boundaries and no rules to a land where the biggest gun took all. In order to establish some order among the uneducated lord-of-the-flies reprobates, some extremist religion may have been used. But people believing something is not evidence. Fortunately, as I used to tell my classes, science is not a democracy. The truth is not affected by what we believe, it is the truth and we must adjust our belief to match the evidence of what the truth is. Interpreting the evidence wrongly is entirely possible and measuring the evidence wrongly is entirely possible - which is why no scientist will ever say they have proved - what we say is that we have strongly shown that an idea to be true. In my eyes I'd be happier with a single scientist demonnstrating with evidence why their idea is true, than have 50 million US citizens recite something they believe is true because of their unwavering faith in a version/translation of books written 1500- 2000 years ago.
 
Had never heard of this guy, and now wish I’d never heard of him.

Typical internet edgelord, who’s seen that he can make content for a certain type of incel, misogynistic user.

I don’t mind a lot of streaming content, but am starting to come to the conclusion that the content providers tend to be people not smart enough to be an academic, not funny enough to be a comedian, and not creative enough to produce meaningful artistic work.

What they are good at is recognising there’s a demand for long form conversations on current affairs and social issues, so can fill that demand to great financial benefit to themselves.
 
40% of dinasaurs believe that Americans coexist with humans.
Just on this, there is such a thing as objective truth. If 100% of people believe the moon is made of cheese, it has 0 impact on what the moon is made of.

So, just on those 40% of Americans... are any of them paleontologists? Or archaeologists? Because if not, why should I care what 40% of people think about something that is either true (it isn't) or false (it is).

Diplodocus & Brontosaurus are notoriously daft like...
 
Haven’t read the thread because he’s a bellend.

Didn’t know who he was until a suggested video with the title of “G tells how he made millions” appeared on my timeline. I watched it, and now he’s everywhere ?.
Can’t even escape from him on here!
 
I wanted to open a thread up on Andrew Tate as he has become such a big figure now and he is almost on every social media, whether it be YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. What is everyone's opinion on Andrew Tate and the sort of views he stands for?


Andrew Tate gained popularity recently for his views about working 9-5 jobs, attracting women and how prominent gender roles have to be in our society. Here are some of his videos.

Feel free to add more videos to add to this discussion.







Here are the examples of his videos.

Absolutely bananas how people like him can attain such a large audience seemingly overnight.

World's gone to pot.
