Have you noticed an enhanced sense of the fantastical in the air the last couple of days?

If you have, it might be because the world just got slightly less rational with tragic carking over of Daniel Dennett.

Dennett was a Philosopher which is not a real scientist in my opinion. Despite that, unlike other philosophers, he wasn’t away with the fairies. He was a member of the “4 horseman” along with Richard Dawkins, Samuel Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens. Dennett actually used real science to form his ideas and never took that science for granted or embellished it with his own imaginary bullcrap or religious bias.

He will be missed by his family and friends.

No, he was a clown, and god dennett a good one.

Hence why he didn't get much limelight when alive, even now when dead, he's barely mentioned in any big news stories.

Small people like Dennett tend to pop out like farts, when gone. Sure you may hear or smell them, but it's only temporary, and quickly forgotten.

He looks like a brilliant mind. But those men failed and something when they spoke about religion especially richard dawkins. Who said i tried to erase old religion turned out new ones got created
