You have learned to count. There are peoples who cant count to ten or even four.

The ethnophaulism is used also in political context: "The only good commie is a dead one". But why is the best philosopher a dead one? They ask too mu...

But you firstly have to learn the meaning.

Who is the I? Maybe the body between inner and outer wotld. Can anyone be to blame for their thoughts in their world (physically residing in the brain...

:smile: Morning (at least, here it is). I havent read that book. Is it relevant maybe for another discourse currently taking place on this forum?

What do you mean by that? I cant see the connection with the comment before.

That's because the detailed information is hard to get. The moment you try to get that detailed information you are interfering with that process you ...

How can you know that if we see only a minor part of that universe. It can be locally flat and globally curved.

The point is that I was the one trying to keep it academic. Maybe it wasnt in the standard way. For example, on the physics site I asked the question ...

Wow! Nice contrast between that good old hemlock and the fresh white snow.

If you mean "better" then I agree 100%. If you mean "more complex", I don't. By the way, people are the only beings that can cry with rears coming out...

Right! Damned! Why don't you write things once in a while with which I don't agree? It was Xenophanes who started the view of an objective unique real...

You mean you ate it?

"Anti-vaxxin. Is it right?" Maybe right, maybe left. You have to examine it.
