Food for thought: The body feeds on food. The mind feeds on ideas. As we ascend Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we're chewing all the way, but on differe...
:lol: Surnames, biased patriarchally, are unfair to women. It's as if their contributions to the familiy and its achievements don't matter or are rela...
Reminds me of hunting game. We don't block all escape routes for the prey, we leave one open. Of course it leads to a trap but you get the idea. What'...
I can think whatever the hell I want. That's freedom, oui? Suppose determinism is true. Even in this case, I can ponder upon all options available and...
Men make laws; look around you, this law, that law, we seem to be completely immersed in it from womb to tomb and sometimes beyond the grave. Perhaps ...
:fire: :ok: How true. It just dawned on me that you're unequivocally right, no strings attached. We can actually think anything, absolutely anything a...
Time can't be stopped, yup. Time, in physics, is defined with clocks in mind. Smash all the clocks, stop playing the drums, digitalize your heart and ...
I don't understand something. Why is lineage an either/or deal? Too, it seems that most people don't really care which it is - patriarchy/matriarchy -...
We all have to start somewhere, we then (try to) move forward, and we (apparently) do. Then, in the life of every philosopher, comes the time when you...
Naturalism is not an escape pod for atheism. Newton, when he established the foundations of science, said something to the effect that only God could'...
If family resemblance (re heredity) is a fact, a philosopher's gotta look like Socrates (the father of Western philosophy) which is to say a philosoph...
Well, it seems rather natural to respond in kind, oui? It feels right so to speak to scream/hit back when screamed at/struck. That's what usually happ...
No, unfortunately no. What is your point? Nature's a mood-altering device? Intriguing and not in the least. It's as is she (momma nature) has her own ...
I didn't mean to suggest that karma is a means to an/some end. I simply wanted to point out that karma is a law of nature, every bit as real as Einste...
Mastication is basically a process that initiates the digestive process, breaking food down into smaller and smaller (manageable) pieces. The basic id...
Yes, I was mulling over that. What is karma? Are you agreeing/disagreeing with the above exposition on Karma by Wikipedia? I thought karma is what goe...
Your reply is an eye-opener for me. Merci beaucoup, monsieur! Kant was, I believe, trying to make moral laws as all-encompassing and as strict as natu...
Colors are nature's way of expressing her emotions! Bright colors - she's on cloud nine, Crimson & fiery red - she's in the mood or she's screaming "o...
:lol: Good one! Blighted ovum! Much worse, more painful. Propaganda, what is it? Truth, sexed up, and/or lies sold as truths. Reminds me of how busine...
I'm just flummoxed by the fact that when I do something bad, I don't break any known laws of nature. Evil is perfectly compatible with the known laws ...
Sometimes to show that something is not real, we employ the literary device of describing it in totally unbelievable (read impossible) terms. The Bibl...
Time has an odd geometry: it's linear & circular. If it's 5:00 PM today, it's again 5:00 PM (circular), but tomorrow (linear). Line + Circle = Sine wa...
There is no reason to doubt that our private experiences are not identical. Were they not, if they were even slightly different, society as we know it...
A curve is beautiful, feminine. I wonder why we're hell bent on finding linear correlations. So masculine straight lines are. I'd rather use a sine wa...
