An era of vertigo : Comments

By Mamtimin Ala, published 14/1/2025

In short, we gradually find ourselves in a globalising society where many values have been entirely or partly upended, turned inside out, and starkly contrasted to what we once considered commonsensical and reasonable.

Mikk – I agree that you can make up a meaning for your life. And so can Hitler and Trump and King Charles III. Anyone can make up any “meaning” for life that they want, but ultimately each person’s made-up meaning means nothing.

In a universe that has unintentionally come into existence, there is no particular way things are supposed to be. There is no objectively right or wrong behaviour. Atheists can make up moral beliefs but one person’s moral belief is no more right or wrong than another person’s opposite moral belief.

May I suggest that you read a couple of short comics I have written. You can see them at : https://atheismforkidsandteens.com/making-up-meaning/01/ and https://atheismforkidsandteens.com/the-sociopath-and-the-fool/01/ .

I would be interested to hear your response

Daffy - as I suggested to mikk, perhaps you would like to read a couple of short comics that I have written on this subject. You can see them at: https://atheismforkidsandteens.com/making-up-meaning/01/ and https://atheismforkidsandteens.com/the-sociopath-and-the-fool/01/ .

I would be interested to hear your response.

JP- I think the animation and construction of the strips are great. Some of the concepts might be too advanced for children. It may help to have more structure. But good effort.

I haven't read this article but it looks fairly expansive...

I liked the philosophy at the end of the comic strip.

We do need to teach children good virtues- as you have done- we can't trust the Woke Marxist's to do it.

Canem Malum - I’m glad you found the comics interesting. I appreciate your suggestions for improving them. I’ll look into it. The comics are really aimed at thoughtful people from about 15 years of age and upwards.

I don’t think we can teach children good virtues without a foundation that makes sense. As I argue in the comics, atheism lacks any foundation for any moral claims.
