Many people do that and I find it unacceptable and totally unfair to see these 2 ideologies as same. So I can never accept that. If you are asking tho...

So what? Everyone's goal is political power, at the end. But some also at the same time make things better indeed. Not that I see Marx as right to eve...
September 19, 2021 at 20:04
That is exactly what is all about. And his false in the base that he builds his argument on. Blames for all human nature weaknesses religions. As if b...
September 19, 2021 at 13:58
Well yes. The other alternative is to go live alone in mountains and caves. If someone wants that, it's fine too. But if you want to live among others...
September 19, 2021 at 09:31
No it wasn't. Every religion(from the very first one) used and achieved political power. They are combined. And humans always used religions for other...
September 19, 2021 at 00:48
For me it's not that difficult when you realize that if you want to live in organized societies, it is for your own benefit at the end to behave "good...
September 18, 2021 at 22:08
That's the whole point about religions at the end. That's their goal indeed. What are religions? Simple human inventions and nothing more. What people...
September 18, 2021 at 18:23
That's the whole point it is examined here. Why to make such a fuss about definitions since you also clearly got what he meant from the start?? Not th...
September 17, 2021 at 17:35
That is "paranormal" for sure. Clicked on the results and thats what I got. Creepy..
September 16, 2021 at 20:03
It depends "who" would replace humans as to observe it I guess. But I am not sure about the answer either. We, humans, name the world "physical" . But...
September 16, 2021 at 19:46
That's the million dollar question for me. I can't answer you that, cause I have no idea how it is done.
September 16, 2021 at 16:03
Well the obvious. Mind. But my point is that most people from the statement (mind requires brain as to exist) which I also find true. Jump to the conc...
September 16, 2021 at 15:20
I answered you already. No you won't. But I m not sure I got your point here.
September 16, 2021 at 14:49
No it isn't. And you won't have it. But that says nothing. Mind requires brain and body for sure. But that doesn't also mean that mind is brain/body. ...
September 16, 2021 at 14:32
They stop existing too. But what exactly does that prove?
September 16, 2021 at 14:06
Really interesting approach.
September 15, 2021 at 10:23
Oh OK.I got something totally different then. So you think that since we can't define the exact words we can't talk about these things at all? I think...
September 14, 2021 at 19:28
You mean that probably material world is much different than what we perceive from our senses? So that's why you think the base mind/body is false? Go...
September 14, 2021 at 19:16
For me that's the mistake they make. For me it's not that mind exists on its own. Mind requires for sure brain. Brain (physical) generates something n...
September 14, 2021 at 19:07
That seems so weird to me and I wanted to check that it is the case. How they believe they are physical? Material? Can they "touch" them or what? I co...
September 14, 2021 at 11:23
Drop it then. I can't make it any clearer.
September 13, 2021 at 22:20
And all that interaction you think it leaves that "output" you mentioned the same?? I mean your body continuously interact with the environment. All t...
September 13, 2021 at 21:37
I haven't understand this and since you keep following the discussions from the threads you open. If you can save me some time and answer me this. Sin...
September 13, 2021 at 21:17
Why you need to learn how to enjoy these kind of discussions??You just enjoy them or not simply. Why would you want to force yourself enjoy something ...
September 13, 2021 at 21:00
That's exactly what makes it a NO moral matter at all. Cause you expect a content from a Non existing creature! A 0!You just can't do that. Impossible...
September 12, 2021 at 22:01
So now you say that there is no need for content in your case. But you need a "yes" as to bring someone in life?? So you want it all your way! Cool! S...
September 12, 2021 at 21:09
Made by an already living creature towards a "0",non existing one. And which you can never be sure (even if you had the chance) that" kid's answer" wo...
September 12, 2021 at 14:38
But come on my friend, we did had that conversation at previous pages. The "no happiness experience" values nothing to you compared to potential harm....
September 12, 2021 at 14:06
Exactly.
September 12, 2021 at 13:20
No it isn't. It's a statement that you simply can't deny. I ensure you I m not at all. Whether you believe it or not. The thing is that you look it on...
September 12, 2021 at 13:16
Wait wait. I don't try to change anything here. Once again : Since something doesn't exist wrote so many times, that then it has absolutely no choice!...
September 12, 2021 at 13:09
If existed before told you I would have to seriously reconsider It.I might end up to the same conclusion again but for sure I would reconsider also th...
September 12, 2021 at 12:50
How this negates my previous claim? Did I ever mention that parents decision won't affect their future creatures kids? I just say that it is a decisio...
September 12, 2021 at 12:40
It seems exactly the same for me too. Just changing names as to present a situation like an unselfish, moral act etc. The outcome remains the same and...
September 12, 2021 at 12:31
You mean like having a disease and be 100% sure that my kid will be born with the same horrible disease also? Did I get it right or you mean something...
September 12, 2021 at 12:24
It would put the issue in a whole different base for sure. Don't know if I would still agree on that but for sure I would rethink it and reconsider it...
September 12, 2021 at 12:18
What you don't seem to understand is that in 1st case that "that someone" is ALIVE 2nd case "that someone" is 0.NOT existing. Nothing. If you can't un...
September 12, 2021 at 12:12
I think I answered you again on that. Cause that "someone else" you mention is a "0".Simply doesn't exist! So that someone has absolutely no say! It i...
September 12, 2021 at 12:09
Alive woman = option ability = possible to consent or not into something = we can(and MUST) ask for her permission, she can say no! If we simply don't...
September 12, 2021 at 11:55
I don't think it is at all. I don't even support utilitarianism. It is just a simple matter of choice for me as I told you. Nothing else. Ok at least ...
September 12, 2021 at 10:14
Exactly and I support it. At the first case (unborn kid) it's purely impossible cause there is no way to know the choice of the unborn kid. It doesn't...
September 12, 2021 at 10:00
That upside down thing doesn't answer at all to my question but anyway. You keep referring to all those who suffer (and there are many indeed). You do...
September 12, 2021 at 00:06
Your mind is still stuck in the "rape" thing. I already answered you that no its not right at all. And I also mentioned you that is totally irrational...
September 11, 2021 at 23:45
I used the word humanism here as to describe "human species".People. How you find antinatalism humanistic(with the way you defined it) since the ultim...
September 11, 2021 at 19:12
Answer me something that I was always curious about antinatalists. I asked the same to Bartricks also. Let's suppose that the best scenario for you ha...
September 11, 2021 at 15:13
What you mention it creates a "bridge" between them indeed. Seems like that at least.
September 10, 2021 at 22:23
That's a really really interesting view. And it deserves another thread on its own. Big one. But I think at this one we examine the "basic theory of a...
September 10, 2021 at 17:36
But we are talking about "potential" harming. It's not that the parents think that the kid will suffer for sure, so they still have them! Some have ha...
September 10, 2021 at 11:22
It's the same as "not to do it" since you can never be sure about his "answer".For me, It just doesn't matter at all, since he has absolutely no say o...
September 10, 2021 at 11:04
But since you can never have an consent on that why we even talk about it? I can't understand really. We discuss about an impossible scenario. But any...
