You might need to go into mortality statistics (does Thanatos show any, how can I describe it?, preferences?). Then you might need to reexamine the da...
Animals are innocent - they don't intend to harm (injure/kill) for the sake of harm. They only participate in actions that are immoral out of necessit...
Well, as one poster remarked a long time ago, if space expands, entropy will/shouldn't max out. As long as entropy has no upper bound that it can reac...
@"T Clark" Metaphysics as Utilitarian I suppose I see your point. Metaphysics is about first principles which, from a scientific standpoint, are theor...
I dunno. Aristotle's love of art is, for me, the smoking gun in re the possibility that he was himself a mad artist. Plato had warned us against the a...
How do we know Aristotle wasn't suffering from episodic psychosis and that metaphysics was what happened in one of his fits of madness. Are we attempt...
Consistency is about truth. If you don't care about the truth, and you don't need to, consistency be damned! That's in classical logic though. If you'...
Enlightenment is a tangent on a circle! One might wanna look at it as a slingshot maneuver! Anytime anyone digresses (goes off on a tangent), that per...
While we may live differently - some in luxury, others in abject poverty; some beautiful, others ugly; some white, others black, some in-between, and ...
\Delta \space Law = Everything changes. If the \Delta \space Law is true, it itself should change. If the \Delta \space Law changes, C \space Law = So...
A perpetual motion machine is also possible if the energy required to do the same thing drops (inertia?) Suppose machine P recharges itself with 70% e...
That - sadness - is the key to nirvana. Feel sad, and I mean true heartache and we set the stage for enlightenment. Maybe nirvana is just sorrow in a ...
Yes. Is it possible? 1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 8... We have the math ready, as it were, to find a physical phenomenon to latch on to. ...
If 1 kg of matter can produce 2 "kg" of energy and 1 "kg" of energy can produce 1 kg of matter. 1. 1 \rightarrow 2. 2. 1 for recharge, the other 1 for...
The problem with perpetual motion machines (I suppose the holy grail of mechanical engineers): Say machine P, 1. P must produce energy, say 100%. 2. 1...
Change 1. Replacement change: From the little that I know of computer graphics, if you see a red triangle on screen and then it changes color to blue,...
The Prevention is Better than Cure Paradox The Covid-19 pandemic is in full swing. The most effective strategy is not to cure it (given the givens) bu...
I like the images you post. I wish we could do this for all of philosophy. Pictures have a certain quality to them that allows them to get a point acr...
The internet was designed by its creators for sharing information (communication) in the fastest way possible with current technology. Does easier com...
Wait till the government gets wind of the power of music. I haven't the slightest idea what happened between Islam and music. Islamic geometric patter...
1. Ship of Theseus 2. Wittgenstein's rope analogy. Identity is a sequence of overlapping stages and that's why we feel that there's some kind of conne...
It's my suspicion that the apparent lack of a definitive referent for the "I" is more about hope mixed with fantasy than anything truly substantive in...
So, net zero growth is not gonna be as problematic as some of us would think. After all if a growth rate of 1/100th of a percent can be maintained ove...
To think, there's got to be a thinker. That's why Descartes' argument works. This is, as you said, an entailment. I would treat the thinker as a neces...
