I can't help but find this contradictory. Am I looking at this wrong? I don't understand. By what necessity is it not the same as how a fact obtains? ...

I determine that 1+1=2? My whole point is that: because I am insignificant in its apparent truth. it is not reliant on me, or anyone whatsoever.

Because I'm not the center of the universe. It is more or less possible that a fact (it is raining, it is snowing) is happening, is being conducted.

Heres a term I'm going to coin: Reverse Dunning-Krueger effect. People with low capabilities in a certain subject, after having heard of the Dunning-K...

I can believe 1+1 is 2, and believe that it is correct; that doesn't change the fact its an axiomatic statement independent of belief. This is meant t...

Well you're right about that, but nevertheless I would still be careful calling His punishment unjust... For really, how could we know?

Is that so... The more you know.

Likewise, "I think it is raining" would mean that his assertion is reliant on his belief. I think thats what I was trying to get across.

Oh, I see. Oops.

How do we know that the punishment is unjust?

No, you believe it is raining.

I would disagree. Its raining is an axiomatic statement based on an independent variable. That is, it is independent from belief. If it was a belief, ...

I'm confused on the use of mind here...Mostly because from what I can gather rational allows the perception for/realizes the mind, and then the mind v...

How would this tackle a sort of ends justify the means approach? e.g If you needed to visit your grandmother in another country, and you had three opt...

I suppose so.

How can then a feather be a rock?

Hey, not bad.

Do martial arts count as a sport?

Don't! Please don't give someone the incentive to bring about its return (whatever it was).

While there is a universal constant, In essence each object/person is individual?

Well in the even that we are studying free fall(something falling with no forces acting upon it except gravity) it would seem like you said that there...

Oh, oops. (Also, I was lying about reading it all. I read like 10 pages and went ehh I think i get the gist of it.)

Too bad, I've already read it all :cool:

Better yet, better resurrecting dead threats than death threads.

Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica. I like the way he organizes his thoughts.

Uh...I don't think so? Drag is an essential component to understanding free fall after all, I would think...

I'll be honest that i've never heard of this scientific debate before. Could you point out a popular example, or something that you're familiar with?

Yes that is correct. However in my belief the implied question was whether they both conform/who conforms more to this true average, which they do equ...

I had a friend told me that it was a pretty decent book and not nap-inducing, so I tried it out. She can give some good recommendations once in a whil...

Score.

Yeah. Which is why I don't necessarily think you should devote your time to understanding death, because it's a fairly short topic. Acceptance kind of...

I don't deny that Calvin and Hobbes is brilliant, but... There's a lot more to life than death.

:100: It's insane how much we talk about it actually. The science fiction section might as well be renamed to post-apocalyptic fiction. It ain't a sub...

Which then falls full circle with the Epicurean Paradox. Huh. It seems we've been angered by our religious counterparts for quite some time now.

Oh really? I guess I'll just have to try again then.

Ah I get it. Thanks :up:

Yeah I don't know where I was going with this. I was drunk at the time I wrote it, sorry.

In a vacuum, yes, they would hit the ground at the same time.

Exactly. It's all about finding that delicate balance of almost unacceptable, but acceptable. I find that Pygmalion is a wonderful rendition of our mo...

Sometimes I act in a way that isn't "real" to myself. In reality, nothing has changed about "me", at least not physically, but I carry a sentiment tha...

I mean I'm low income, but I don't think i'm screwed. I wonder why.

I d'nno, I tried sounding it out and it seems the same. abovementioned=(Ah-bov-men-tchynd) abovemention'd=(Ah-bov-men-tchynd)

Im particularly interested in this one.

Yeah.

Well depends on what you define as literature. These three genres are the only types of books I can read without falling asleep, so the rest might as ...

What about (AB)xC ? Would that be considered two or three things?

:clap:

Forgive me if i'm wrong but I think you're talking more about the application of expression in freedom of speech, and how certain notions of thought a...

Yeah that was my bad. I caught it with an edit but alas I was too late. Hm, well it seems a little complicated but i'll take your word for it, seeing ...
