Overheard a mother telling her son, "you can be whatever you want." The son, later, decided to become a woman! Can we really be whatever we want? I wa...
Basically, the cost is (just) too high! However, we're comparatively more gifted in the brains department, oui? Surely the problem isn't an unsolvable...
So you believe that this is all politics! Is there a more fundamental point of origin, a radix, of our problems. Did you know? Some say "suffering, wh...
Is gender identity confusion part of a much broader psychological phenomenon of identity "disorders"? People would call the men in white in coats imme...
Si, si! That you politicize antinatalism, probably other issues as well, hasn't escaped my notice. Perhaps because people's lives & happiness are at s...

How can we measure (keep time) something (Chronos) that doesn't exist? Isn't measurement N/A (mu) to nonexistent things? What would you say if someone...
Maybe we can meet in the middle: the past exists, but in the way you think, but as memories (lessons) and the future exists, again not in the way you ...
Ati sundar mon ami, ati sundar! Stanley Kubrick's monolith is as ambiguous & vague as a Rorschach test can be. It's intended to represent an advanced ...
Everything hinges on the word "assume" I suppose. I believe there's actually a novel based on people making wrong assumptions about one another; the r...
So you've hit the bullseye! :up: Question: Are antintalists oversensitive? On the flip side, do natalists have, as Hermione Granger says to Ronald Wea...
I'll reconstruct Parmenides' argument as best as I can. 1. Becoming and Unbecoming are impossible because we can't get an x from what x is not and nei...
It isn't simple is it now? Unless you make sense, nobody's gonna listen to you! There's a workaround for that though - money, power, fame (the unholy ...
To my reckoning forced to be immoral is a contradictio in terminis. Coercion negates free will and where there is no freedom, there can be no morality...
The monolith is a simple 3D geometric shape; somehow reminds me of Plato's forms. It's tall, compared to the pre-sapiens and so symbolizes superiority...
Maybe we should do a more detailed study of Kubrick's monolith vis-à-vis Jungian archetypes. Shape: Rectangular prism (cell phoneish) Color: Black (ab...

Well, true, to thrill an audience is to present them either something brand new or simply offer a perspective they hadn't encounterd. So, god/alien in...
The question reminds me of predator-prey eye positions. Prey have eyes on the sides of their head, giving them a 360o field of vision in order to dete...
Why did God, He would be the most advanced alien we could hope to encounter, take a human form, as Jesus? My compass tells me we're in alien gods terr...

Well, Yaheweh manifested in the world, presented himself to us, as a man, Jesus, son of a humble carpenter's wife's son. Stone age folks had better im...
True, burial is a rather unnatural thing to do with a corpse. I haven't seen anything like it in other animals, not even in our closest cousins, chimp...
On a more serious note, if I feel like I'm a proboscis monkey (Rastapopoulos), does that mean I am a proboscis monkey? I am according to transgender l...
To hazard a guess I'd say gender dysphoria is basically an embryological relic - from the zygote to a certain point in the fetus' development, we can'...
@"Gnomon" might wanna chime in with his BothAnd idea. Differences are not a bug that we must lament but a feature that we should celebrate. It's eithe...
What is democracy? Giving everyone a say in government - all are monarchs in their own little one-yea/nay-vote way. It's as if the crown were dismantl...
