Heather Spoonheim replied to Ruth Anthony-Gardner's discussion Climate Change in the group Hang With Friends
"Personally I've found the climate change 'movement' has become like a religion. Failure to commiserate on the subject gets people all up in arms calling you a 'denier' and proselytizing worse than Christians about why…"

"I have absolutely no inhibitions about posting new discussions or being 'shot down' - I shoot right back. For my part, however, I am rather well otherwise engaged in thorough debates already, on other sites. It is my tendency…"

"I think of it as a dance hall. Plenty of people, male or female, want to be asked to dance, but only a fraction of them are comfortable asking someone else to dance. I'm not that familiar with this site so I haven't added a…"

Non-Cognitive Survival
A narrative essay by – Heather SpoonheimWar stories often relate extraordinary tales of soldiers who have survived the grimmest of odds. As we zoom in on a soldier hanging on for dear life in the belly of a landing craft headed for Omaha Beach we can hear the screams of those being blown to bits in the landing crafts around his. As the front wall of the craft drops to reveal hell on a beach, our soldier rushes out through…See More
Heather Spoonheim commented on Heather Spoonheim's blog post Prophecy FAIL!
"I think logic games are great for kids, and imagination too! But imagination games need to be identified as imagination games - a time to pretend, and a time not to pretend, very important to understand the difference early."

Heather Spoonheim commented on Heather Spoonheim's blog post Philosophy is Alive and Well!
"Scientifically we are very certain at this point that all human existence will end: perhaps from a natural/man-made extinction, perhaps in 5 billion years when the earth is gone, or perhaps in 30 billion years when nothing but photons are left and…"
John Camilli commented on Heather Spoonheim's blog post Philosophy is Alive and Well!
"I agree, but where does one even begin in deciding personal meaning? Are we all to become hedonists and call that which feels good "right," and that which feels bad "wrong?" Are we to trust that easily misled gut of ours and…"
Heather Spoonheim commented on Heather Spoonheim's blog post Philosophy is Alive and Well!
"Well, John, a lot to think about. I think philosophy has become more important than ever - not because it offers answers but because it offers the toolbox that allows one to set off on their own quest for answers, be that quest scientific,…"

A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim
As a ‘strong’ Atheist, I believe there are no gods. That is a belief that I am very comfortable, if not enthusiastic, to have challenged.
