In my dreams, I err. I believe falsehoods with conviction, argue for them with perfect logic, and others agree. Only upon waking do I realize the falsity of what I justified with every faculty available to me. All epistemic tools may err in dreams. So one must ask: Am I dreaming?

Skeptical argument Any attempt to distinguish truth from falsehood requires a method whose accuracy itself we want to assess using another method, leading to infinite regress or circularity, both not delivering the clarity we desire, and thus making such distinction impossible.

What do people mean by “ought”? I claim “You ought to do X” reduces to one of the following two: 1. “The best way for you to achieve goal Y is to do X” 2. “Please do X”

Ask a moral objectivist to justify moral claims and they will eventually reach moral axioms. All of those axioms are survival instincts e.g. "Suffering is bad". Suffering is damage to the body. But sure, that's just a coincidence, they are objectively true and mind-independent ;)

The fact that the act of claiming P is a performative contradiction does not imply that P is false.

Argument from Evil V2 If God made everything, he made evil and the structures that necessitate it. If God didn't make everything, what purpose does he serve as an explanation for existence?

My version of the argument from evil. Addressing common responses like: free will, virtue, greater good, X necessitates some amount of evil.

What is free will supposed to be? Things can only be deterministic, partially random or fully random. No matter which of these our decisional mechanism is, it doesn’t seem satisfactory nor what free will proponents actually mean. Is there a fourth option of causality?

Common misunderstandings regarding the Big Bang The most famous idea associated with it — that it marks the beginning of the universe — is not something science can currently justify.

To be in error is to not know one is. How do you know you are not?

Why do we keep entertaining moral realism if literally nobody has ever proven the premise “objective morality exists”. Until this has been proven it remains a sentimental pseudophilosophy. Most moral realist can’t cope with things not being “objectively bad”, whatever that means.
