“Academic philosopher Michael V. Antony (2010) argued that despite the use of Hitchens’s razor to reject religious belief and to support atheism, applying the razor to atheism itself would seem to imply that atheism is epistemically unjustified. According to Antony, the New Atheists (to whom Hitchens also belonged) invoke a number of special arguments purporting to show that atheism can in fact be asserted without evidence.”

If only you could read, maybe you’d be more tolerant, but I doubt it, sigh.

I see, it does make sense but there’s an argument to be made about obscuring things like that (not in the case of aikido tho, here it’s more of a “practical translation” of sort, and how it has always been passed down), which is why I said I can’t take it seriously.

But you’re right that if it profits OP, good for them, it’s a bit like religion in that sense.

Thanks for the precision

The way this is written is clearly intended to speak about energy of people, and some that steal it, like you’d steal a candy on your coworker desk, for example.

Which, oof, I just can’t take it seriously right from the start.

And then there’s the gross generalization of people and how they act, but that’s a more common trope, which can sometimes be partly true at least but meh.

“stealing energy” Oof
