Why should they care in first place?? Is it immoral if they don't?? For me not at all. As long as they do their job properly and try to be good at it,...

Logic is the main task for human mind. For me it's the most significant a priori function of humans. So if we ever be able to find the ultimate truth ...
October 18, 2021 at 20:55
Cause challenging our views and beliefs requires to challenge our own selves. To face ourselves. And, oh boy, that's a hell of a fight that not many a...
October 17, 2021 at 22:05
Though I m really flattered by your comment. Please don't. It's true that Nietzsche is one of my favorites (not to say the most one), but I m far from...
October 17, 2021 at 17:41
I think each case is different. We can't make a rule out of that. In some cases philosophy might work better, in other cases psychology. It depends fr...

No he isn't just another one idealist. For me he is the Greatest one! He was believing so much in personal growth but his "method" included intense, h...
October 14, 2021 at 21:16
You have written it again in another thread and I strongly disagree that Nietzsche was thinking like that. The way you describe it, is like Nietzsche ...
October 14, 2021 at 20:00
Yeah sound similar indeed. But again it's only our own 2 more definitions among others.
October 14, 2021 at 19:52
I think Will has a very wide range of definitions and it is hard to say that one is the right one or to choose the most appropriate. It would be too r...
October 13, 2021 at 19:29
Isn't it? It's just the best way for humanity to create proofs.Best way to "verify" its reality. Well not to say the only one which can be so accurate...
October 12, 2021 at 20:35
Doesn't that say something? Universities seem to care more as to create useful workers for the markets and less to create useful people for the societ...
October 12, 2021 at 19:22
So for you everything works fine then and it doesn't need any change? Or that it will stop happening some day soon? I m not sure I got where you stand...
October 12, 2021 at 13:56
And it will go on failing.
October 11, 2021 at 20:48
Cause as in everything the root is the Ego! Academics(not all of course) snob the common people. Thinking themselves too intellectual to deal with com...
October 11, 2021 at 20:02
Scrolling down and thinking "wtf! where is the definition question?!" ... Few posts later..... Tim Wood saves the day.
October 11, 2021 at 19:43
Equality means that every single human life values exactly the same. If I was an alien visiting Earth I wouldn't give a fuck for more or less clever p...
October 08, 2021 at 20:40
So the answer to all these for you is no bringing kids in life? Anyway we have discussed about antinatalism already at another thread and we agreed th...
October 08, 2021 at 09:09
So it would be more appropriate to say that "people always Try to act in their own interest". The thing is that it's really tough to understand what o...
October 07, 2021 at 20:41
Not that I agree with anything Nietzsche wrote. But I m not sure he supported that. He was extremely valuing the individual person and his capability ...
October 07, 2021 at 20:36
I m not sure I got exactly the meaning of unitary self here. You mean he didn't believe that there is a real "self" in humans or that people can't act...
October 07, 2021 at 19:46
That's Ego. And yes it is true imo. Since human nature is defined from Death, that's inevitable and totally acceptable for me. Of course there are peo...
October 07, 2021 at 19:40
So again your point is antinatalism. You just choose different routes every time as to end up to the same conclusion. I find forced work also wrong.At...
October 07, 2021 at 14:15
Well no. Not really.
October 07, 2021 at 12:58
So we are going back to the Antinatalist thread. You seem to have an obsession with that issue, since I have noticed every thread you open has its roo...
October 07, 2021 at 11:43
You see any other alternative?
October 06, 2021 at 23:12
Ok that's better. Well yes then, imo, at the very end forced work is wrong indeed. And that's why I think that some day that will change. Cause it is ...
October 06, 2021 at 20:48
Exactly. How is that?
October 06, 2021 at 20:16
I m not sure I got what's your actual question. Why anti work to be wrong in first place? Someone believes that having to work for his entire life is ...
October 06, 2021 at 20:06
Our statements are always being judged by their truth. And when we say truth, we obviously mean "human truth". Which is by nature - definition limited...
October 05, 2021 at 19:24
I don't think that religions focus on free will. They focus on God's will instead. Providing a "moral map" that people should follow. My view is that ...
September 28, 2021 at 08:47
The "proud" part don't see it that often at all out there.
September 28, 2021 at 06:09
Yeah there must be cases like that for sure. I can't deny that. But at the end as in everything else that is accused of "corrupting" and "brainwashing...
September 27, 2021 at 23:39
For me that is an excuse. "God's work" as to satisfy their evil instincts but at the same time to justify themselves and not take any blame at all! Hi...
September 27, 2021 at 23:21
Exactly.
September 27, 2021 at 23:15
People could be brainwashed from many other causes too. Yes religion is one of them. But as I mentioned again if we want to attribute evil to religion...
September 27, 2021 at 23:10
I so agree on that. For me, they are both working together as a continuous effort of ethical transformation. Like opposite forces which at the end wor...
September 26, 2021 at 19:42
Yes it is too much indeed. And that's why you can never have a fruitful discussion with a fanatic (both sides fanatic, theists or atheists). If a reli...
September 26, 2021 at 18:55
Religion has a role both in evil and good of course. And if you want to attribute evil in religions you have to attribute good also. If we wanna be fa...
September 26, 2021 at 18:37
Well I don't agree with Mr. Steven on that at all. Being good or evil is a mater of personal choice at the end. And nothing else. If people use as an ...
September 26, 2021 at 17:40
Exactly. And unfortunately it's what humanity still needs. What "works" better, for most people at least. Or else people wouldn't maintain so passiona...
September 26, 2021 at 16:40
And yet at my thread "what can replace God?" you were doubting that most people even nowadays get their morals from religions. Well I struggled to pas...
September 26, 2021 at 15:58
Exactly. True. I agree. But is it the only field that you see hypocrisy all over around us? And more specific hypocrisy used as to remain in power? I ...
September 20, 2021 at 21:28
The problem is that Christianity is presented here as to have a "privilege" in intolerance compared to other religions. Or that its teaching is worse ...
September 20, 2021 at 20:44
You don't see it but it's still there. Told you already, it's obvious that your mind is locked there. So nothing useful to discuss about here. You fai...
September 20, 2021 at 07:49
Your views are misrepresented on their own. Don't worry. I didn't change anything. Nothing to add further.
September 20, 2021 at 07:15
Your position is false from its very on foundation. I explained you why. So either you don't see it or you pretend that you don't see it cause it will...
September 20, 2021 at 06:45
To refer like you do, the specific historical documents that you pick only those who fit your position?That's ridiculous. Even the obvious fact with E...
September 19, 2021 at 23:11
Wrote it. I don't agree at all with many things that he said and find them impossible to happen. Against human nature in fact.
September 19, 2021 at 20:42
Sorry I m not interested in communist conversations at all anymore. Made it many times at the past. And now I find them endless and at that field most...
September 19, 2021 at 20:41
I don't agree but anyway that it's a huge different discussion.And not for that thread. No it isn't the same at all. And apparently you didn't get my ...
