My argument is not based on votes. If you fail to see the logic of putting an end to suffering by any means possible, sorry, I can't help you. By the ...
You're beginning to sound like an evil genius, crafting all sorts of psychological conundrums to torture people to death and worse, resuscitate them s...
Suicide is not wrong. Would you or would you not put someone out of faer misery if the occasion arises? Would you be able to witness a person being br...
What's the point then if my choice won't make a difference? Is this God just trying to get some cheap thrills at our expense? Again, in addition to th...
The usual deal for anitnatalism is that it's all about the alleged, true/false? you decide, inordinate amount of suffering that comes with living. Hav...
Is it me or are you making a distinction without a difference? As far as I can tell, the notions of heaven & hell are just another way of saying what ...
The only way I can make sense of your argument is if adultery is worse than drugs, prostitution, assisted suicide, and child pornography. The logic is...
This is where all the action takes place. Justice is sought for: 1. Retribution (an eye for an eye). 2. Deterrence (to discourage would-be criminals)....
If that's what your response is, your definition of existence is, let's just say, unstable - sometimes it's limited by space, time, and causality and ...
Truth be told, you're absolutely right! Both christianity and buddhism are, first and foremost, about suffering and how one might liberate oneself fro...
Antinatalism has merit if we look at escalating suicide rates. People aren't happy and that they choose to end their lives proves that the thought, "I...
I probably misunderstood you then. I thought you meant to say that christianity is about suffering in the here and now (like Jesus) and buddhism is ab...
Good one! :lol: Transmission from West Cupcake was interrupted twice, 1914-1918 (WW I) and 1939-1945 (WW II), and h. sapiens for some years reverted t...
If you ignore what I said in my previous post, the difference between infatuation and love is the same as the difference between thinking only about p...
So, an X exists IFF X is in space, in time, and x participates in causality? Am I right? Then, if God exists, God is in space, in time, and God is par...
If someone breaks your arm/leg with a club, you can still think but if the club makes contact with your head (brain) with sufficient force, your think...
Sorry that you don't seem to be a condition to discuss the matter further. I'll leave you with something to ponder upon if you care to. What is your d...
If you're being tortured mercilessly, yes. That's what the Thanatos and Algea do to you. It makes you lower the bar for everything, so much so that yo...
Pyrrho the skeptic is supposed to have walked into paths of oncoming wagons because being true to his own philosophy of global skepticism, he doubted ...
I'm not sure but it appears, from my personal experiences and those of others, that morality and hedonism don't always go hand in hand as some/most of...
I'm a bit confused about the whole issue but here's some further analysis: Redness exists & Non-redness exists. Redness is a state/quality that red ob...
I would say that's a good outcome for both the interlocutors, buddhist and christian. It's the WTF? moment every buddhist aspires to and wishes to eli...
I watched the video and it commits an error right from the beginning with question: Does nonexistence exist? The presenter argues, fallaciously, that ...
You seem to be the right person for my question. Ants exist: Ex(Ax) where Ax = x is an ant Unicorns don't exist: Ax~(Ux) = ~Ex(Ux) where Ux = x is a u...
You seem to be of the opinion that negation is limited to human-level languages. How then do you explain the dog's actions? The dog gets up on all fou...
:ok: I was simply pointing out what seems to be a fact - animals know what negation is. I'm not sure but doesn't animal training involve a carrot-and-...
A christian and a buddhist meet in a bar. The christian asks, "do you know who Jesus is?" "Of course, I do, " the buddhist replies, "Jesus was a bodhi...
Stray dogs, I distinctly recall, sleeping/lounging on the road get up and move to safety when they see an oncoming vehicle. My guesstimate is that the...
Kamala Khan's beliefs about morality seem a bit muddled. A virtuous person is something you are but then she bounces back in the second sentence. A ra...
More here. The million dollar question: How did modern literary researchers recognize Enheduanna's work as poetry? Is there some cross-cultural leitmo...
Some are natural poets, they don't have to learn the ropes like others and mayhaps the difference between these two can be seen in their respective wo...
This doesn't add up. Every single trait that exists in the present was/had to be good for survival and if love is part of human relationships, it must...
:up: :ok: Prose poetry: From the examples in the link you provided, all that stood out to me was rhythm (cadence?). The point of prose poetry seems to...
That solution extends naturally to killing people who are, let's just say, problematic for you. Don't you agree? After all, in both cases we sanction ...
@"TiredThinker" PoeticUniverse's comment reminded me of an interesting fact about alcohol intoxication. Alcohol is a neural inhibitor or so I hear and...
