I state my opinion because I get a bubbly feeling in my gut that says: Say it, or wallow in dissatisfaction! Its never had to do anything with anger/a...

That we do have an equalizing aspect, which would be the existence of death. So in terms of the macro view of humanity, we could be considered equal.
December 04, 2021 at 14:42
You're a bitch.
December 04, 2021 at 14:40
Going back to our initial discussion, I believe I had stated it may be more useful to define death as an egalitarian aspect of humanity, to assess it ...
December 04, 2021 at 14:38
Excellent video. Let us hope indeed...
December 04, 2021 at 14:27
Mortality rate is the analysis of when, not if, death exists. That would be what I am trying to describe..
December 04, 2021 at 14:17
No! It's how fast the music is being played, not the music itself.
December 04, 2021 at 14:12
And I would agree. Although it stays then, or we are to agree that the rate does not affect the probability.
December 04, 2021 at 14:05
Sadly, no. The voyagers circumstances differ, and not all are happy with their too-soon departure. However, it remains the responsibility of all passe...

I like to imagine death as a city, and life its subway. The metro has a terminal exit, from which the passengers are obliged to leave into the great c...
December 04, 2021 at 13:42
Well, I would definitely agree with you that the rate of death is unequal. However, I would argue this is not necessarily correlated to the probabilit...
December 04, 2021 at 13:37
Well, I have a lot of faith that 1+1=3, but nobody except me seems to hold this true, no matter how much belief I pour into it.
December 04, 2021 at 13:27
Well, I'd be interested to explore our differences If you would want to. I think assuming that eternal life is something unrealistic, (perhaps probabl...
December 04, 2021 at 13:13
Really! Wow, I would've said the opposite.
December 04, 2021 at 13:08
That's more or less the point I was trying to get at, I think. Another interesting point is that if the "state" or "mode" of death defines our equalit...
December 04, 2021 at 13:08
Sorry, I have to admit I am completely lost. Although I would agree with you that death would not care through which means you come to an end, I don't...
December 04, 2021 at 12:39
Well, i'd hope for that too. Back to my initial question, er, if you are willing to tell me, What does the Grim reaper represent in this context?
December 04, 2021 at 12:25
Oh. What should I hear then?
December 04, 2021 at 12:12
I would assume the latter, but it's just the "Grim Reaper" confuses me. I don't exactly know which side he's meant to represent.
December 04, 2021 at 11:49
Alright. I have a question. Is it the state of death, or the inevitability of death, that makes us equal?
December 04, 2021 at 11:18
Ah, My bad. I misunderstood your use of rebellion. Only time will tell... It'd be neat if they came up with an international language, so we could jus...
December 04, 2021 at 10:57
Anchovies... eating pizza with a chocolate milkshake... Im scared to ask what you have for breakfast.
December 04, 2021 at 01:48
A little late on the inauguration, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
December 04, 2021 at 01:46
Why, I don't think i'd be me without it.
December 04, 2021 at 01:44
Mm... I would disagree. A tool remains a tool because it may be displaced without affecting the "who" of what you are. If your tool becomes profoundly...
December 04, 2021 at 00:13
I would suggest watching season one of Meerkat Manor. Not to sound rude or anything, but I would be hard pressed to agree with you that rebellion is a...
December 03, 2021 at 23:18
Whats the difference between a man and a machine? Not much i'd warrant.
December 03, 2021 at 23:12
I would agree that yes, while a tool may be an extension of myself, it is not inherently me.
December 03, 2021 at 23:09
I'd have to agree with this, although something doesn't exactly sit right with me... I'll give it some thought and try to pinpoint my dissatisfaction.
December 03, 2021 at 23:08
Oh my lord.
December 03, 2021 at 21:24
So many anchovyists on this forum. I feel slightly betrayed.
December 03, 2021 at 21:24
Except if you put anchovies on them. Don't think even the devil would try his luck with those things.
December 03, 2021 at 00:41
That image freaks me out.
December 03, 2021 at 00:39
Hold up, isn't this just order of operations? Or am I missing something.
December 03, 2021 at 00:28
I would agree.
December 03, 2021 at 00:22
It could be a tool, or an instrument of some kind that I use. That is possible. Although the problem I believe lies not in whether it is or is not, bu...
December 02, 2021 at 23:55
I don't exactly understand the metaphysical implications of defining yourself, but I'm inclined to agree.
December 02, 2021 at 23:36
Hmm....Well In what way are the eyes different from I?
December 02, 2021 at 23:33
Well, I had believed they were the same thing, the body and me. In terms of linguistic description, it's hard to exactly describe the difference. (If ...
December 02, 2021 at 23:15
I suffer from satisfaction. I'm too satisfied with my mediocrity. I seek no progress, and I cant fufill my capabilities because i'm in love with being...
December 02, 2021 at 23:14
Depends on who you want to be. I find that a barbaric rationality, devoid of any logic or profound reasonings is actually the best weapon for attackin...
December 02, 2021 at 23:05
Well, well... Our tastes vary then.
December 02, 2021 at 22:56
I think we want to describe ethics on rational foundations, but inherently its something purely subjective.

December 02, 2021 at 22:42
I would say that I is simply however you see yourself to be in that moment. Perhaps, in some scenario it would be much more efficient to describe your...
December 02, 2021 at 22:37
Yep. Well, I'm sure metaphysics has its place somewhere in philosophy. Maybe just not in the description of being.
December 02, 2021 at 22:34
I think my major problem with metaphysical conceptions to "organize" being, is that it contains in and of itself small determinisms that result in con...
December 02, 2021 at 22:25
Well you hope you see one anyway. I'm just kidding.
December 02, 2021 at 22:06
I'll be honest, I have next to zero knowledge on this topic so I'm going to save you from hearing my half-hashed opinion. I do agree with you though t...
December 02, 2021 at 22:05
No, It is I who count two stars.
