[@dope.dialectics]

I love how MMA keeps evolving in front of our eyes. Fighters having access to limitless knowledge they never did before. When I watch fights now I can't remember a time where they were so technical and fast. The cage awareness in the average fighter today is so amazing to see. With the advancements in conditioning and recovery technology we seemed to reach that next level with a new generation of fighters. Now with future fighters and athletes having a much better understanding of MMA how do you think the fighters of tomorrow are going to look? Also, what would you say is the next step in the evolution for MMA as a whole?? Keep up the amazing content!

As the same time i'm on a 90 day warriorn mind and body challenge. So will be interesting to see how I adjust my workout schedule to earlier in the day and my water intake before the start of the fast. It will be a blissful experience. Hope you have one too.

Salam I just saw your video with Muhammad can you please make a video and go into depth on how to fight a shorter fighter please

[@ismailfarooq97]

Salam Firas. I would love to join one of your AMAs live but my timezone is way different so usually I'm asleep when you do these, which is why I never get a chance to ask any questions. I'm taking a long shot here because I don't think you'll answer questions in the comments. Also this might be a dumb question because I've only recently gotten into philosophy on a deep level, but here goes: What are your thoughts on inductive reasoning being nested in deductive reasoning (or logic)? So for example: All men are mortal Socrates is a man Therefore, Socrates is mortal Now that is an example of deductive reason, but isn't the first premise (or line of argument) based on induction? Because our conclusion of men being mortal is based on all the men we have seen (and we have observed that they have been mortal). We cannot "logically" prove that men are mortal. I don't know if this makes sense but it was a question I had and I thought I'd just write it here because I don't know where else to find the "answer" to this. Also, absolutely love your videos and everything else you embody/believe in. I am someone who likes to go deep into topics and introspect/analyse as well so exploring your channel over the last few months has been brilliant. Big fan of yours from Pakistan!

@Tristar Gym.. Firas, it would be an absolute honour to watch you discuss idealism, something you described as 'irrefutable' to Paul from Blogging Theology (and I agree btw), with Bernardo Kastrup. Would you consider reaching out to him? I mentioned his 'dissociated agents' idea to the EFDawah team when I appeared on 1 of their shows. I also went into the fitrah and direct experience, something I regard as golden. It would be a monumental conversation. Are there any chances of it? I can get hold of him as well if need be. BR, S

Hollywood just NEEDS to be the center of attention. That slap looked staged af to cause a stir, take focus away from Ukraine and Will Smith was rewarded with Best Actor lol

[@deanoppergoalieclinics834]

Love your channel Firas! But Chris Rock did the right thing. He was caught off guard. And is clearly not a fighter. But he had honor in how he responded. Not doing anything,in this case made him seem even stronger. I agree with protecing yourself. But,there were many other factors at work here...And I ask the question,would will Smith have done that same action to someone like perhaps 'The Rock'??

[@CoachZahabi]

thats a good question, and no i don't think he would. I think Will is angry at his wife for sleeping with another man and so he was asserting his "ownership" of her by slapping Chris.

"At that point I would fight. Show yourself some respect". Ok. Maybe that's you. To me as a third party I would respect Chris Rock a lot less if he decided to swang and bang up there versus how he handled it. I think this all made Will look like a little child and Chris lock like the adult man that can handle himself well. But if you think going the route of stooping to the "childs" level, risk going to jail and make yourself look stupid is more respectable then what can I say. I'm not saying to not defend yourself when there is an actual threat of course. But to me when it comes to slaps and especially at a public event in a strange scenario like this the best defense is just pressing charges or whatever. Which he didn't do because he got so much respect and clout from how he handled the situation so he came out on top already. When you say respect yourself (by fighting) in a scenario like this, it comes of to me as protect your image as a man to others. Or protect your ego. But I might totally be missing the mark. Different perspectives and all that :) Congrats on 250k!

53:41 with respect to your view regarding historical facts as being essentially a big game of abduction, how do you reconcile this with the Hadith tradition? The existence of the Quran is not a historical fact since it’s here today, but what about the existence of our Rasool (may peace and blessings be upon him)? The entire Hadith collection process, although indicated to be sound (due to presvered Quranic manuscripts and the small amount of very early Hadith recordings), is historical to me at least. Perhaps you can clarify on such reconciliation? Or perhaps is the reconciliation between the amount of evidence?
