Do you think many/some of the problems we have in the west is caused by a growing sense nihilism and hedonism as religion decrease and isn't replaced by anything?

Sort of. People like the 'cluster' into ideologies. And the old saying, 'Idle hands are the Devil's playground?' very much applies in my opinion. It's one of the reasons why war always spurs on huge technological growth. People need motivation and they have an ingrained desire for group cohesion. To be part of something bigger than themselves.
It's one of the reasons I'm hugely optimistic for things like space development and new powerful technologies. If we could rekindle the human imagination in a large enough struggle? So much of this pointless shit would wash away.

Latest answers from Jeff Holiday

What would be your primary argument opposing cultural appropriation?

Culture should be shared. And the idea of sacredness should be demolished. It's an out-dated concept that doesn't serve anyone. It's a fossil.

What's your opinion on Edgysphinx?

Edgy and I are friendly. I like him as a person. I think his ideas are terrible half (or more of) the time. But I like talking to him.

is it just me or is Sam Harris overrated

Sort of? Sam is brilliant but far too often we find rational minds and put Savior-like requirements on them. Sam Harris is a benefit to humanity for what he can bring to the table. But he is not the Atheist-Christ. That's the trap too many people fall into. He's great. But he's still a man. Just as fallible as any of us.

I want to make videos on SJW mentality in the speculative fiction community, but I'm trying to get my short stories published, and I'm afraid of getting blacklisted. Any advice?

Go full blown anonymous. Register a new Gmail. If you are serious about it, get a burner phone for Google account linking. Learn how to pitch modulate your voice in Audacity.

Do you like horror films? If so, what're your favourites?

I love it all. My favorites are Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness. Anything by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Takeshi Shimizu or Takashi Miike

Have you read much Nietzsche? If so, what do you take away most from his philosophy?

JAmez
I've read some. I keep 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' on my bookshelf. I don't really analyze philosophy, I just enjoy reading it now and then.

Were you ever accused of cultural appropriation?

At least every other week. Not just the hair. The piercings too. Some people think my Chaos star tattoos are Dharmic Wheels. One person got butthurt I 'appropriated' Mayan culture for my Nephandi tattoo. LOL
