Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
“Faith taints or at worst removes our curiosity about the world, what we should value, and what type of life we should lead. Faith replaces wonder with epistemological arrogance disguised as false humility. Faith immutably alters the starting conditions for inquiry by uprooting a hunger to know and sowing a warrantless confidence.”

Many assume this term refers to religious belief alone but ‘faith’ means believing something is true first – installing high confidence in a claim rather than arriving at a level of confidence by means of a preponderance of evidence – and then working from this starting point. That is why ‘faith’ is epistemologically arrogant (the ‘how’ by which we justify a belief… this method presumes the conclusion). So, for example, how do we ‘arrive’ at believing there really is such a being called a trans child?
Yup… 100% faith. We simply start with this assumption and presume it is true.
And the thing about this method of justifying a belief is that it cannot be influenced by real world evidence. It’s considered true by pronouncement because it is believed to be true first. Unquestionably true. To question this starting point is blasphemy committed by heretics who must have something wrong with their moral compass. Bad people. Don’t listen to Bad People. Get rid of Bad People from positions of authority and make them shut up. They will ‘erase’ trans children! Genocide!
Using faith to inform or reveal anything about reality is a guaranteed method to fool one’s self regardless of how it may help us feel applying it. And look at how much we have been fooled about gender and the real world effects this belief unsupported by good evidence from reality has caused.
