I see. I'm dumb too. Join the club! The Trinity isn't nonsense in my humble opinion because religion was never about rationality. Were it so, why all ...

Apologies then. Must be the bad cold I have. Au revoir.

The universe ain't mathematical. Sorry Max Tegmark. Hopefully he isn't a Trinitarian. Newton really hated the idea! Adds up, he was the foremost mathe...

You get points for imagination and evasive tactics!

You mean to say reason doesn't guide us/doesn't inform our deeds? That's antiphilosophy, not philosophy! I quite like it! :smile: This however raises ...

We could take things at face value, yeah! Nothing wrong with that except doing so means you'll think, for instance, the sun revolves around the earth ...

Astronomical radio telescopes have to be pointed at a source which means radio waves have direction (vector, not scalar) and light belonging to the sa...

Biological urges usually have a perfectly good explanation says the theory of evolution. The problem is that sometimes they can be counterproductive e...

Recycling souls in samsara! Makes sense to me!
July 18, 2022 at 05:03
Why not the question? Why would we want to reproduce given that path leads to disaster: overpopulation and its accompaniments like diseases (e.g. Covi...

I can only applaud in admiration at your idea - it seems to be well-thought-out. Not many can say that of their own worldviews. I'm still trying to gr...

Danke! Please tell me why it's speed of light and not velocity of light? A laser can be pointed in a particular direction, oui?

We must tread carefully here - nonexistence (nothing) must be avoided at all cost for it complicates the matter as is obvious from what you say about ...

I'm sorry you feel this way! Good day. Indeed there's potential there to revolutionize science! Glad that you see it.

Natalism: It's ok/good to birth children. Question: Why?

Benatar, to be consistent, has to say: 1*. When someone doesn't exist to experience good bad, damage benefit has occured to no one. 1 & 1* (a consiste...

There is no "riskiest move" mon ami! De gustibus non est disputandum. Lemme clarify: Since how I feel (sad/happy) about the world is subjective (we're...

As I've tried to explain to you, this statement you just made \uparrow is nonsensical for the simple reason that objectivity is impossible in re happi...

Okey dokey! Muchas gracias kind person! Please cut me some (more) slack. I'm a only a beginner as you already know.
July 17, 2022 at 17:53
I'm with you in that it would be presumptuous of anyone to think for someone else given that people differ so much in all the relevant respects (the s...

This statement is obviously false! Are you saying antinatalists are a fringe, minority group? I'm not so sure - remember one Doomsday factor is overpo...
July 17, 2022 at 14:19
Desperate times call for desperate measures, mon ami! Consider antinatalism a symptom; that should clear up the matter for you. If I throw a party and...

Correct me if I'm wrong, the whole idea of your EnFormAction theory boils down to, from the little that I know, yin & yang (the interaction of opposit...

Muchas gracias señor! @"Bob Ross" \uparrow Same question: Why does metaphysics tend to have foundations that use \infty?
July 17, 2022 at 07:16

July 17, 2022 at 06:13
To found a system/theory of metaphysics on a concept we know very little viz. infinity about feels wrong to me. It violates a cardinal rule in philoso...
