Well written, highly informative OP. A thank you from all of us to javi2541997. Mythology is, inter alia, what in modern terms would be novelization o...

Isn't that the gist of the OP, mon ami?

Pandora's box? Don't want to open that, not now at least - we have enough on our plate, oui monsieur? The darkness isn't one problem everyone has to t...

:up: It takes more the one generation for a family to find its niche in society. Any mishaps along the way and it's back to square one. That said it i...

:lol: I wish! I dunno where the other monkeys are? :grin:

Incidit in scyllam cupiens vitare charybdim.

Wasn't I talking about something else though?

Gracias for the warning but as they say "never say never ... "

There's this natural rate at which chemical reactions take place e.g. 10 mg of H2O per minute2. Catalysts, the right one, can speed reactions up. Supp...

:up: Merci. Let's discuss the binary yin-yang aspect of your theory if you don't mind. According to skepticism, pragmata (issues, topics, etc.) are ad...

:ok:

I'm in good company then; I hope you feel the same way!

What is then?

The punchline of this joke of a life we have as in the meaning of life or for our muslim brethren, al-Haqq (the truth)?

That terrible place is nothingness? :chin:

Definition: A leap in logic, by which a necessary part of an equation is omitted. I've always had difficulty in distinguishing 1. Isn't true From 2. I...

Can you clarify as to how death leads to postmortem harm? I guess I'm asking why murderers are locked up/sent to the gallows?

I forgot about these \downarrow It's ok, all this killing, sacking, raping, etc., it's all in the family! I saw this TikTok video clip where the voice...

The desire to be right is stronger (emotionally) than the desire to find & know the truth. In essence ego ante omnia (I before all) [Google translate)

This is all the Boltzmann brain's dream! :snicker: Shout out to @"Wayfarer" if you're watching.

Stifled laughter?

In my humble opinion, shamans upgraded themselves to physicists/chemists/doctors/mathematicians/etc. The end is the same (dispense advice/treat illnes...

:snicker:

Well, I can tell you this: What people applaud/extol - a form of altruism exemplified by a soldier jumping onto a live grenade to save his friends - i...

Indeed, so-called "chemical imbalances" (in the brain) can trigger unusual behavior including but not limited to suicide. However, they, to my reckoni...

:lol: You're on the right track as far as I can tell. Please report anything that you might find intersting/suprising.

:ok:

Merci beaucoup for the link; I have a feeling I've already bookmarked it on my browser. I'm mostly concerned about so-called unexplained suicides whic...

Most perceptive of you. Muchas gracias señor, muchas gracias. P. S. Could we say that things that transform slowly (e.g. words etched in stone, inscri...

So, in principle, an assassin could simply lace a cup of coffee with serotonin and make the victim kill himself? The perfect murder. Let's not go givi...

Interesting puzzle, the Aristotle wheel? What's the solution?

This is mighty interesting. Algebra can explore other dimensions beyond the 3 we're familiar with and unlike a normal 3D cylinder which we can see in ...

There are a lot of unexplained suicides. The cops immediately suspect murder but my hunch is that not all of 'em are. Universeness and I had a discuss...

Oddly we don't ban misanthropes; homophobia, misogyny, misandry, etc. are all implied.

Stressful, stressful! Take it easy mods!

This isn't the time to ask silly questions like these, your house (earth) is on fire you idiot!

Death has postmortem harm only to the extent that it deprives the deceased of (pleasurable) experience(s). That said I admit that if it's a case of fr...

If the OP claims that rationality is a force that negates/limits free will, I'd have to agree but with the proviso that as per some sources it (ration...

:up: :grin:

Truth is pain(ful). If it were not, we should be happy as happy can be.

:up: Gimme time to process all that. Ciao!

Learned something new today. I owe you one!

Nice! Opinions seem divided, eh? Fun fact: 1. Nobody gives their bank details to anyone? I wonder why? 2. We all have our little secrets.

Yup! Within the current zeitgeist intelligence means being rational i.e. to submit oneself to logical rules & principles - slavery! Faith on the other...

I was of the view that human sacrifice was distinct from punishment (by death) of criminals; intriguing that even altruists qualified as fit victims (...

:rofl: He could be God for all we know. To untrained eyes good sometimes appears to be evil and vice versa of course. There's this Buddhist tale in wh...
