Well I agree with that, yeah. I admit I do still vote though, and I voted Biden. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of his or anything, it was more of that ...

But isn't voting supporting a corrupt system by participating in it? I'm a little confused there. Seems like it's a crappy position to be in either wa...

It seems to me that the real difference is just whether we should vote at all, right? Street says no because both parties are corrupt and that is supp...

Ok.
November 06, 2021 at 00:36
okay. Seems like none of you guys really like each other much, so I don't want to get in the middle.

What? What buddy?
November 06, 2021 at 00:13
I don't get it. If both parties are awful, as all of you say you agree with, then why bother voting at all? How do you decide if one is worse than the...

I voted for Biden in 2020, and yeah it was more because I really disliked what Trump was saying and quite frankly a lot of his supporters. But I'm an ...

I find it hard because I don't know who exactly to trust. Once I get down the rabbit hole I bounce from one opinion to the next, and both are convinci...

Geez. I like what you're saying but what if activism is just a phony thing that doesn't really accomplish anything? Not saying I believe that but what...

Do you mean like what Streetlightx said or something else? Are you saying he is a shill for the republican party because he attacked the democrats? th...

thanks for the thoughtful response. So if what you say is true, then it seems pointless to vote for either party. Seems like I'm damned if I do, damne...

Thank you all for the feedback. I'll be able to write more in a little bit.

Yeah that's true. But I guess I mean it like in sports. It's true that they're all individuals, but they're also a team. To play as a team is differen...

Good quote thanks. This seems like a big reason for a lot of the controversy. Maybe I'm missing something.
November 04, 2021 at 03:46
I looked through that, but it's way too advanced for me I think. Thank you for the suggestion though, but I think it's lost on me. Hopefully in time I...

I think love is just a word for something we feel. I definitely care about my friends and family, I would be sad to see them die, and I want them to b...
November 04, 2021 at 03:40
I only read a few pages back but I don't really follow you guys. Are you saying we should vote a third party or not bother voting at all and get more ...
November 04, 2021 at 03:38
I kind of like this. Is this from a book or just your own stuff? So any time I'm asking universal questions I'm doing philosophy? What do you consider...

What about friends and family? I was part of a soccer team growing up, and it was a lot of fun. We were always taught to play as a team and not just a...

netflix has that social dilemma, which is really scary. I was checking my phon e a lot when watching it, and so that proved its importance. I think we...

What is god anyway other than a word? Whenever its explained to me Im confused, and faith gets mentioned a lot, and stuff like that. People seem to ca...
November 04, 2021 at 03:24
Thank you!
November 02, 2021 at 20:43
I don't get why people are still talking about this. We have a vaccine that works really well, which is amazing considering they were saying it would ...

I know it's really late to respond, but thanks for this. I guess I was way off.
November 02, 2021 at 17:46
Wow that's quite a list. I didn't even know a third of those.
November 02, 2021 at 17:46
I think most people probably don't have time to read this stuff, and a lot of it is hard and strange. I like it as a hobby, and would never call mysel...
November 02, 2021 at 17:46
I voted very unlikely. I don't know much about climate science, but from what I've heard from sources I think are credible and from some of the eviden...

I have a basic question....what does the "sophia" part mean to the greek philosophers? I know it's translated as wisdom but what was wisdom? I mean in...

I'll have to watch that. My understanding is that the federal reserve controls interest rates, but I have no idea what interest rates, like is it the ...
July 24, 2021 at 22:27
Thank you everyone! I think I’ll start with Bertrand Russell. So far that’s received the most recommendations and I do know who he is … or was. But I ...
