Nice! :smile: "I don't know why I did that! ... I was not myself!" "I am not the same person anymore. I have changed a lot!" "What you did was very ba...
Of course. The question was "What counts as "forcing" people into a game?". If you are not born yet, you are not "people"! :grin: If it's by their own...
State: "The particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time." Knowledge: "Facts, information and skills acquired through exper...
Simply what the question itself says: Any situation in which people are forced --i.e. do something against their will-- (by whatever power) to play a ...
I have already brought this up the subject of freedom. I said "Other wars were started to gain independence (liberated from the yoke of an oppressor, ...
Well, I hate to say this again (not esp. with you), but it's not OK to turn the discussion away from the main subject of the topic and start new discu...
I quote myself: "Ethical behavior based on helping and enhancing survival and well-beingness" So, doesn't preventing a war help survival? If so, isn't...
By my "thesis" I mean my "description of the topic". I used to use the latter at the beginning, but then I changed it to my "thesis" for short and bec...
No, I am certainly not. I have not used the terms "self" or "I" in my thesis except to quote people's reactions like "Ah, the 'I', the 'self' is an il...
Well, besides being very subjective, instincts are quite vague both as an idea and in practice. And then, "best survival strategy"? It reminds me of c...
I agree. There's certainly no substantial issue, since people live with the same beliefs confortably for eons! Lucky ones, they don't care about philo...
Nietzsche is a giant and very popular philosopher. I don't know anything about his private life. Rich or poor, is certainly of no importance to me. I ...
Yes, you can say that. Something like "Linsten guys!" ... But not as if I was dictating it or something. It is so evident to me that I am not a body t...
Nothing. An exclamation mark can indicate a lot of things other than "bad"! One example is the exclamation mark in the above sentence! And in the prev...
1) Intuition has nothing to do with common sense. Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reaso...
OK, fair enough. 1) Which argument specifically is this? (I have said a lot of things and brought in quite a few arguments to support my thesis.) 2) H...
Right! OK. Do you mean how the body and organism works? I don't believe that either. But I can't say what exactly each one feels after a loved person ...
I'm glad to hear this! :smile: (Not that you are "behind in responses!" :smile:) No. No explicit questions. Anyway, my intention was not to get a resp...
OK, but can you also quote where does this refer to? Thanks. What else could I have in mind? :smile: What could a more strict sense be and how else ca...
I agree. That's what I would do too. This indeed may be true. However, I don't think that these commandments and the story behind them, work like tale...
Isn't yourself, the person I communicate with, the human being, ... all one? Aren't these things YOU? If not what else are they? Right. It doesn't. ("...
Where were you hiding all that time? :grin: I need that kind of support. More precisely, to raise my hopes! :smile: Well, you are one in a million! (A...
Thank you for responding! Yes, this is usual the case based on the the replies I get myself. But I thing the problem is more severe: this misinformati...
But if a religion or philosophy is not correct (according to the opinion of most people) how can it give them moral guidance and the rest? If, e.g., I...
Congrats! :up: How have you managed to create such a good and successful discussion with such a difficult topic? I just crated a topic with the title ...
Continuing to discuss this subject cannot and will not lead anywhere. OK, I'll tell you something I have not told anyone yet in here. It's the bottom ...
(I would prefer that you responded to the whole topic than picking up stuff from here and there. Anyway, I guess this is better than nothing at all .....
Certainly. "Begging the question" means "to elicit a specific question as a reaction or response". What specific question are you referring to? You ma...
Hi! This is a pleonasm, since "vide" means see! :smile: (Trivial comment of course ...) BTW, this is my quote. (Actually it's part of my description t...

But then, why are you participating in it? You could just ignore it. And thus avoid passing your hard critique as well as wasting the time of others ....
OK. So, if you agree with this you should also agree with bringing up a definition from a dictionary, because it's the same thing. One has just to rem...
Well, examine better what the other said before coming out with criticsm. More specifically examine again the meaing of emotion. I have put time axpla...
OK, I'm really sorry that I put into that trouble and waiting. I will answer with another similar question: "How is consuming and having an apple diff...
I looked at your reference. You say "I've been surprised at the number of times people have appealed not only to 'common sense,' but specifically the ...
OK, I believe you. But it would be better to look up the term "emotion": "A strong feeling deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships w...
Right, that would generally not be OK. But I don't have to answer all the questions after some point in a discussion, when an important mismatch has o...
Pain and itch are sensations, not feelings. Feelings refer to emotions. It gives you fantasies ... And also makes you solve equations and think about ...
