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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
You misunderstood. Your argument is that because we choose to live even if we experience suffering(except the extreme circumstances), then the other a...
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...
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...
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...
" 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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
