I haven't read any philosophical matter, but I'd think that theology is a good place to start. Looking at philosophy in a historical context, or readi...

Right. I'll admit I was a little flamboyant on the "temporary exile", but transparency was the initial goal.

It might be best to just let this one go. It seems anything but productive.

I'm consumed by self sacrifice; a burning want to become a pleasant memory. A burning need to revitalize my death.

I've been hit by a thunderbolt, but can't seem to remember exactly what it felt like. My most prominent memory of that time was listening to "What You...

When materialist philosophers deny the existence of intangibles, I think they apply a subtle but albeit variabley important change of definition. In m...

I have not. Not yet, at least.

Sometimes, girls just wanna feel the heat. (of an intense and controversial debate.)

I agree. I don't particularly find the definition of concepts as individual things any bit useful either; I guess I just wouldn't know how to deny it....

My bad. One second.

Go with your gut.

I find it hard to deny the privatization of individualistic, thought generated imagery.

Well......

I have a friend, who desperately wants a significant other. The only thing is he's not incredibly good looking, a little socially inept( in terms of s...

Well, applying/teaching non-biased behavior is definitely a start. I would add that we need to identify conflict of interest when we talk about discus...

Trying to make this conversation a little more constructive; not to say that anything that was mentioned here was false: How do you think we could imp...

Alright, thanks.

I'd agree with you that it becomes increasingly difficult to assess equality when we live in generically different scenarios. I guess it depends on wh...

Well, I suggest that a blind man could still identify a set of things in relation to his other senses. For example, an identical sensation, or an iden...

Where do we submit our entries?

I see...And you suggest that hidden placeholders and variable realties in our formulas result in leaky abstractions, because they fail to assess the r...

Well, depends on how you look at it. I feel like Goldilocks is a good example of this sort of theoretical application to assert truths: use knowledge ...

Well now thats a hot take if I've ever seen one.

It's a pretty common misconception that the fourth dimension is time. The way dimensions work is that you start with one dimension(a line) and move up...

I'd say that our mode of natural perception; the eyes, could very well perceive a set of things.

a set of genes that are all equally different would work, no?

By means the telescope, I would think.

The Childs privilege...

I would agree that for some things, its almost simpler to view it in a non-deterministic setting.

Hmm...I think this is a really difficult question, with a lot of different sides, and maybe no good one answer. Again, I don't have a lot of info on t...

Good to know I'm not the only one who likes a good fight. Thanks for writing that. I don't know why, but it made me feel better.

Right.

Well, I'll warrant I don't have much knowledge on this topic, but i'll give it a shot. my general idea is that its not necessarily only a woman's soci...

You are right. I just hope I can hold out until then.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have a choice in the matter.

I think some of my more memorable ones is asking why etre(to be) is a verb(an action) in French class, saying that I believed pedophiles could be cons...

Well, according to our previous agreement that deemed perception to be the how or the why of reality, if you could somehow demonstrate that it is poss...

I would agree.

Well then, don't mind if I do: I don't know why I am here to be honest. Here, in the philosophy forum. To be quite frank, I actually dislike philosoph...

Is the shout box used to vent? Like if I have something I need to "shout", do I say that here?

I don't believe so... You can either be omnipotent, perceiving all without aid, or perceive all with aid... Yeah I would say that no there is not a se...

Well, by our previous agreement we had stated that as long as you had a device to aid your natural perception, which is to instate that everything is ...

I would agree.

undetectable to whom? To us? Then I would say no, provided that echo location exists; even if we cannot detect it(naturally).

Yeah go ahead. I withdraw my statement!

:lol:

Are you vaccinated? Proofs in the pudding.

I dont find why thats nonsensical. I think although we dont like to admit it, we've all been capable of great harm or great good at some point in our ...

If he did I'm flattered :lol: I mostly just meant that if were all going to die anyway, might as well make your ending something that you are proud of...
