  1. Whoever created the Demiurge, is like the Prince machiavelli wrote about, whatever higher being exists, still wills anything bad that happens, the being just does it through that other being. I dont believe anything non material, but I think this still makes sense anyways.

  2. Because atheism says, lets find out how things started and change our theories, religion says "I already know because the book says so, I will never change my mind"

  6. randomness exists in the universe and we know the flip of a coin is determined, the calculations needed exceed us for now. What we know for certain, is that the coin is not trying to flip one way or the other and even if it did, its choices would be useless, because at the end of the day the more it flips, the closer the chances get to 50/50. Quantum particles work with similar principle.

  12.  @TreeLuvBurdpu  There is private and personal property. There are use values and exchange values. In our society we produce things to sell them, but instead we can find what our needs are through scientific method and try to take care of them. This is one of the things I think about. A slave is not much different from a serf, a serf is different from a worker, in that he gets to profit from their labor, worker sells his labor and the capitalist sells the product that the worker creates, but the only reason the workers are not allowed to own the means of production, is because the capitalist class does not let them, otherwise the capitalist can not stay rich and thats the goal in a capitalist society, accumulate as much as you can, accumulate that which you don't need, while depriving others of what they do need.

  13.  @TreeLuvBurdpu  I think all workers should be allowed to sell the products of their labor and should not be forced to sell, only their labor. Everyone works, but some people buy other peoples labor, those who sell their own labor, usually have no other choice. Do you see the difference between selling a product of labor and labor itself?

  14. If he loves him does it matter what he does? If it doesnt, does free will matter? If it doesnt why have it

  15. You need to eat food, it has to be edible, you have to be able to acquire it, if we keep going there are so many constraints, that evolution would not give you free will, because it would be useless

  16. Other than capitalism, would be owning the products that our labor creates and for mass production we need a factory, therefore the people in the factory should collectively own the product, because they collectively create it, but a factory can not exist without a society at large, therefore a society should work to produce what it needs. To find out what we need we must look to science, without science we can only guess what we need.

  17. You are asking good questions and he has mentioned answers to some of them before in other videos. For example he thinks we should keep ourselves safe from people who cant are a danger to others.

  19. Capitalism is not when you make money. Capitalism is when you sell your labor to a capitalist, who then sells the products made with your labor.

  20. Yeah except the only thing capitalism is better than is Feudalism

  21. When he says empty, he means empty of spirits, there still is people and we should cherish each other, instead of the beings that only we imagine individually
