However, being a great scientist does not necessitate good politics. It is worth remembering that among the most politically prominent scientists of the past twenty years have been members of the New Atheist movement: Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, and many others. Hawking himself was a vocal atheist throughout his life but was not affiliated with this movement, though he was similarly known for making broad statements of hubristic scientism, not least when he declared that “philosophy is dead” and has been replaced by science. Statements like these betray a somewhat close-minded view, and perhaps the most charitable opinion towards them was offered by his friend, Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, who concluded that Hawking “has read very little philosophy and even less theology, so I don’t think we should attach any weight to his views on this topic.” When Hawking spoke he received a great deal of attention, even when he spoke on topics about which he may not have had any specialist knowledge.

the annoying part of pro-religion shitlibs isn't that they're willing to defend religion, it's that once you scratch the surface it's clear they only defend the dumbest most cucked forms of religion that only appeal to low IQ minorities and shitlib women

i'd rather deal with atheists who are willing to confront the death of God and the challenge of nihilism head on

seems like a pretty reasonable takeaway, even if it stems from faulty motivations.

well, he was right. god is dead, philosophy is dead, too. we have nothing left. only computer science and technology as frontiers.
