On point señor, but wouldn't it be great to have a system for forgetting; we're most grateful for the junk files deletion feature on our computers, ou...
This is a profound statement! Excelente! Nevertheless, I believe there's a very good reason why we like meat! The tongue is no fool, oui monsieur exce...
Nice, Tim Toady! Am I correct to conclude that your (whosoever's) theory is basically that the cosmic wave is simply a summation of identical but smal...
When the thread loops back to the starting position, Sisyphusean style. Going round in circles \to confusion. The point to philosophy is to realize th...
Too skeptical (areum mediocritas). Nevertheless, if someone is so enamored of their proof, go the whole nine yards, si señor? In for a penny, in for a...
That seems to be a contradictio in terminis. Nobody's fine with forced enlisment into the armed forces. Conscription, if it happens, implies the count...
The words "positive" and "negative" have connotations good (ethical) and bad (unethical). Do these auxiliary meanings have mathematical origins or is ...
I'm only surprised that there are encyclopedia entries on mnemonics but not on "lemonics". Memory research has been going on since Hermann Ebbinghaus ...
There are probably many reasons to live; happiness, sensu lato, being the most powerful justification for wanting to (continue to) exist. That out of ...
Radix omnium malorum est cupiditas May not be that simple though. What's the origin of avarice? What evolutionary purpose did it serve? Is it a relic ...

Sagan standard, quite popular and makes sense from the perspective of proportio divina (evidence should be proportionate to the claim). However, The i...

Antinatalism is a pseudo-solution to the problem of suffering which to explicate is how to live/exist without hurting? This is, as you already know, t...
You're quite a unique figure in the history of The Philosophy Forum, monsieur! I am not, just the average Joe with down-to-earth ordinary experiences ...
Solipsism isn't incoherent unless there's a setting in which it is but Pie hasn't been forthcoming on that score. Eliminative materialism, if I unders...
Which is mass suicide albeit in a way so subtle as to pass unnoticed by so-called guardians of life. Kill without killing is the right expression I be...
How is it incoherent? I'm here, thinking, and I know that I'm thinking and that, ergo, I exist (re Descartes). I also realize that there could be a(n)...
So, Starling swarming behavior is chaotic? How exactly is it so? They give me the impression of syncrhonized events/sports, the kind you see in the Ol...
Ok! Why would "if all this is an illusion?" make no sense. Can you explain, please? Note here that as per Descartes' cogito, he/I/you (when you copy D...
