Before that, we need to know which immortality you are talking about and maybe how exactly science would do that to. One way would be if we could exte...

before voting, i would appreciate if i knew what exactly you mean by "mythical" we might not be on the same page
March 28, 2022 at 17:54
I think it would be better to say that instead of not thinking the people are wilfully ignorant
March 27, 2022 at 12:36
I VEHEMENTLY disagree. How else are we supposed to release our pent up sexual tension. You cant pretend that we dont have those. I would actually give...
March 09, 2022 at 16:16
No, no. I am saying that you are saying that because we humans fear death and avoid it, then death must be bad. But we humans believe death to be bad ...
February 03, 2022 at 14:53
yes, I do But that reason to not eat x is based on my assumption that- Death is bad IF Death was good, THEN I similarly have a reason to eat it
February 03, 2022 at 07:33
I dont know about reason but I can say that we have an instinct to avoid it. I guess I disagree that we have a reason. " I dont know what come after D...
February 03, 2022 at 07:26
Than is why I said Please tell me where I am wrong
February 03, 2022 at 07:19
I dont endorse Viking behavior. I think that what you call reasonable and the logical conclusion is based on the idea that we have complete informatio...
February 03, 2022 at 06:01
You misunderstood. Your argument is that because we choose to live even if we experience suffering(except the extreme circumstances), then the other a...
February 03, 2022 at 06:01
So, I imagine that this claim should be viable for people of all regions, at all points of time. If so, then the Vikings worshipped death. Death was t...

I'll just focus on one aspect for now, babies. Without the ability to percieve pain, the ability of a baby to grow and develop would severely diminish...

Can you elaborate? I dont understand the point you are trying to make. I think you speak of the something like individuality but I am not sure.
December 03, 2021 at 18:33
what would you consider 'constant change' ? Is it changing or is it constant?
December 03, 2021 at 17:41
I think that we are all allways consistent, in our actions at least, because we all are subjects of causality. The consistency you speak of is, i thin...
December 03, 2021 at 17:35
So,I guess you are saying that wisdom is the correct application of knowledge and intelligence is just having that knowledge. Please explain.
September 26, 2021 at 06:42
This suggests that every person that goes inside when it starts raining is wise. An obviously false conjecture. I will now assume that your definition...
September 25, 2021 at 18:25
" Explain to me, step-by-step, How can I become a God?" That is what I would ask. I think the most probable answer is, "You cannot become God." but, I...
September 17, 2021 at 10:24
I never really understood what this meant. Please explain. If I had to guess then it would be that those other plans may be something a person desires...
September 16, 2021 at 04:37
That seems non-intuitive. Care to explain?
September 16, 2021 at 03:59
But it should apply, I think. At least for me, a life worth living is based on what I want to do in my life and I think that every person has to have ...
September 16, 2021 at 03:39
I don't understand what is so hard to understand what @"darthbarracuda" meant. 1)I think what he is saying is that a parent would want his child to ha...
September 14, 2021 at 06:08
Can you please explain your reasoning. The only definite statement I can say is that he cannot be telling the truth but from that I can infer that his...
September 13, 2021 at 10:23
How is this a paradox? IF this it true then you must exist, Definitely that is true. But if this is false then you do exist. This doesn't seem impossi...
September 13, 2021 at 09:27
But I don't think that Aristotle meant that too much of everything is bad. If he meant that that he is stupid but we know that he is not stupid. He pr...
September 13, 2021 at 04:19
Please explain what you mean. I don't understand.
September 13, 2021 at 04:02
Well, it makes sense to me Assuming that the middle ground between the extremes is virtue for pottery. A virtuous person must also be virtuous in pott...
September 12, 2021 at 15:12
To both of you, I will say that even Eastern Philosophy can be scientific, I will talk about Hinduism. The Hinduism that originated in the Indus Valle...
September 11, 2021 at 15:30
So basically, if you have a universal mind then you can just do whatever you want maybe try to go to a world where there are stones that no one can li...
September 10, 2021 at 12:36
I understand what you are saying, there was something without a cause that existed eternally which is what lies at the start of the circular reasoning...
September 09, 2021 at 17:58
I don't really believe in Gods, I am a Hindu. My parents believe in gods but I don't actually believe. In Hinduism, it is OK to kill gods creations. T...

I am for a painless suicide if I want to commit a suicide. If a suicide pill will give me a painless death then yes otherwise no.
September 09, 2021 at 13:11
I do too. My answer to that is they they didn't really think about it. You know, like they didn't question their existence because of their faith in G...
September 09, 2021 at 12:16
What the h**l, I don't understand. Please help.
September 09, 2021 at 12:13
let me just get this straight, what you are saying is that our mind cannot process everything. So if we saw infinity,i.e. everything then we would see...
September 09, 2021 at 12:08
Well, you owe a person who gave you a chocolate something of equal value. That, I think, we can agree on. By my standards, my parents gave me so many ...
September 09, 2021 at 11:51
Honestly, I would call a painless death an ideal suicide. If you can die a painless death and be free from your suffering then it is the best. I don't...
September 09, 2021 at 11:46
Or we could just go to Mars with the same attitude.
September 09, 2021 at 11:42
While there may be a limit to the knowledge in the world that someday we might learn everything in the cosmos, which I would say is the most impressiv...
September 09, 2021 at 07:11
Dude, My answer is a adamant YES. I am a 14-year old 10th grader, English is my second language and I learned about philosophy only via a crash course...
September 09, 2021 at 06:54
To my parents, yes I do. At least, by my standards In general, I don't think so but if you had a sensible and appropriate responsibility in the cause ...
September 09, 2021 at 06:16
I'm not sure, I think that it might depend on how a person thinks. If it was me, who refused any such thing then I would have done so with the expecta...
September 09, 2021 at 05:14
I think that the person who lost his/her property probably surmised that whatever happens now, after he/she has gone bankrupt , will be too much for h...
September 08, 2021 at 05:22
Oh sh*t, I see. I am not wrong in saying that he should not kill himself but I think that that doesn't mean that he shouldn't die or live. I get what ...
September 07, 2021 at 12:53
Read the whole thing, I say that suicide is right only if the situation is objectively wrong but then proceed to say that by the standard of rationali...
September 07, 2021 at 12:48
Well, if that was the case, then why would anyone commit suicide in such circumstances? I understand what you mean but can one truly know pleasure wit...
September 07, 2021 at 12:32
Please elaborate. I don't understand. If you believe in the supernatural then how does it relate to suicide being always wrong.
September 07, 2021 at 06:22
Ok, but why should suffering be prevented? Because suffering is bad, of course. We all want to avoid pain and suffering, it is the core of any action....
September 07, 2021 at 06:10
My empathy for people agrees with you. I too believe that suicide is a preferable end to the pain that might come from living but I don't see it as "t...
September 07, 2021 at 05:30
Fair point, then consider it like this: If before being born, your were to learn, by some unknown mean, everything that was going to happen in your li...
