These cases exist indeed. But many others prefer to go on living even if they suffer cause they still think life is better. Plus when one suffers stil...
September 10, 2021 at 02:39
Cause we talk about having kids or not in general. And not in specific cases. When you already know that your kid will face illness for sure , is it t...
September 10, 2021 at 02:29
That's what you understood from what I wrote??? Pfffff.. Yeah I know. You didn't have kids. So you belong to "clever". I'm sure you have a research fo...
September 10, 2021 at 02:10
Why you think that a person who suffers (and there might be probably billions as we are talking) don't kill himself?? Cause they STILL answer "yes" to...
September 09, 2021 at 21:37
Now I get why you and me disagree then. I think you just mentioned the "root" here. For me that's ONLY how humans has made life seem. And how they thi...
September 09, 2021 at 21:21
But all these assumptions end up supposing that a child will have a life of suffer. What if a child mends to live a great life full of happiness.My de...
September 09, 2021 at 20:56
My point is that is totally useless, imo at least, to discuss issues that can never happen. You simply can't decide for life. It is given to you. The ...

Ask how??? To an unborn kid? What are you talking about? No you can't ask. Simply as that. If you know a way to ask for an unborn child for permission...
September 09, 2021 at 19:28
That could be the same for 1 too. Don't you think? But why 1 is more important than 2? In general I get your point but for me that question can never ...
September 09, 2021 at 19:19
There could be no valid research as to measure that.Even if you could ask all people on earth and the majority told you they are happier, how can you ...
September 09, 2021 at 13:42
These could never be logical evidence of happier people. For example, you forget to mention the joy that kids bring to someone's life.Joy that people ...
September 09, 2021 at 10:40
Wrong or not. Suicide is still a human right.
September 07, 2021 at 20:47
Ok now I got what you mean. The way that these two fields are combined together though and create a "unity" is a real mystery. Don't know if it would ...
September 07, 2021 at 12:19
Well yes, imo emotion of love was developed through and for evolution purposes also. As all human emotions. I'm not sure I fully got this but seems in...
September 07, 2021 at 10:16
Tell that to all scientists and people with happy lives that got raised by poor families. Throughout history might be billions probably . Don't seem s...
September 07, 2021 at 01:51
Having a child is an egoist thing. Not having is also,but for different reasons. So you also support that poor people shouldn't have kids? Poor people...
September 07, 2021 at 01:36
The issue that was discussed was if humans are monogamous. I supported my opinion that aren't with a empirical example. Which I always find the strong...
September 07, 2021 at 01:25
Then you should be the first to know that. You would prefer not to have been born then? Seems to me that you connect poverty with misery. But that's n...
September 07, 2021 at 00:34
You said nothing about it though. At what exactly you disagree? That humans aren't monogamous creatures or what?? You commented saying nothing about m...
September 07, 2021 at 00:22
So what if you never get out of poverty? Why should that be a "stop" for having kids? If I am poor but I wanna have kids and I love them, would that b...
September 07, 2021 at 00:05
So poor people shouldn't have children?
September 06, 2021 at 22:32
Not crude at all. You turn the point into a matter that doesn't exist, cause you just find "fuck" word too shocking for you obviously. Who said that s...
September 06, 2021 at 22:15
Well no I believe that love is a true emotion. But we humans have made many myths and fairy tales about what is "meant to be" and its origin. In partn...
September 06, 2021 at 14:39
I think also that, more or less, is two sides of the same coin. When we speak about partner's love of course.
September 06, 2021 at 13:53
Even if they are, humans aren't. These are exceptions. Humans put mental effort as to be monogamous. It doesn't come natural to them. If a married man...
September 06, 2021 at 12:26
Exactly.
September 05, 2021 at 17:41
For me love has its root in Ego.The way that it is socially described as a pure "altruistic" emotion, is nothing more than another human myth. As you ...
September 04, 2021 at 22:06
No. Neither is not to. It's just a matter of choice.Nothing else. I can't see any complexity here.
September 04, 2021 at 14:28
Not easily at all. But that doesn't mean that it isn't still the most important problem.
September 03, 2021 at 18:09
Cause it's still on the way. We will get there too some day. Not sure if we will be alive to witness it though.
September 03, 2021 at 18:03
I would consider the thread closed after this response.
September 03, 2021 at 17:59
There is nothing bad with lies which doesn't do any harm at all. Ethics have made lying look like a "sin" but sometimes are necessary and much preferr...
September 01, 2021 at 23:45
Well no. How to compare human logic with something else's logic? Since that "else" would be totally different? For me it's like trying to compare appl...
August 31, 2021 at 20:49
Yeah I mean with technology's aid also.Even our technology is limited cause it is our "creation". But we humans are incredibly curious creatures. So w...
August 29, 2021 at 22:25
That's so true indeed. Imo we examine matter in a very human-ish way. We almost always consider matter as something solid as you mentioned.But solid i...
August 29, 2021 at 21:45
Man I can clearly picture you getting into a store, the employee welcomes you saying : "Good morning, sir" And you responding : "Oh my friend first we...
August 29, 2021 at 15:13
I think maybe it would be better to say that AI imitates human thinking and not consciousness. Consciousness requires the existence of subconscious an...
August 29, 2021 at 14:51
Really interesting topic. To me it seems like the hardware-software case. I don't think thought can exist without brain. But I am not so sure that tho...
August 28, 2021 at 19:32
Exactly. This sentiment says it all.
August 26, 2021 at 11:06
For me, the thing that we should be focus on is how to make less takers. And not more givers. To make social circumstances better as less people to ne...
August 25, 2021 at 22:36
No it isn't. Can't really see how someone would end up in such a conclusion.
August 25, 2021 at 09:49
I get what you mean, so I have to clarify that I don't consider "western logic" better than others. Of course Logic depends also from the environment ...
August 25, 2021 at 01:30
Charity can't be used as an excuse for States not providing free healthcare. We can't expect the State's job to be done by charity organizations. Of c...
August 24, 2021 at 22:45
Nothing but I don't want. Thanks. I pay my taxes for that though. And I would be willing to pay even more if I knew that this gonna happen indeed!
August 24, 2021 at 21:59
Believe it.
August 24, 2021 at 21:13
You set the humanity bar far too low. For you is just good enough that 911 won't tell you at the phone : "oh go fuck yourself man and die!". As if aft...
August 24, 2021 at 21:05
When you ask someone to pay for his health, Isn't that abandonment? When that someone has 0 money?Of course I don't know all health care systems all o...
August 24, 2021 at 20:57
It is unthinkable that health care systems aren't totally free for everyone. At least the basic health care. For me, It's one of greatest disgraces fo...
August 24, 2021 at 19:59
At the end that seems to scare the most people. To "pause for thought" cause then we have to face our thought - self. Not many are brave enough. That'...
August 24, 2021 at 14:33
I try to do that in my real life and it's enough for me. That's only your conclusion and I have no idea how you ended up there with all I have written...
