L'éléphant

I don't flag shit here. My posts could very well be flag-worthy. I think the most effective way to show your disapproval is to say it in the thread an...

Then this is not about the OP anymore. If you wanted to discuss justified belief, be explicit. And I say this because in the OP, it reads like you wan...

So if a surgeon told you about the surgery he just performed and which you just watched performed, you would still be skeptical of the account of the ...

By simply accompanying the person to the vaccine clinic and seeing the needle emptied in his upper arm. Seriously? Watch a surgeon operate then. How's...

One way to know is experience -- a person talking has some or a lot of experience in it. If you got vaccinated, you know the side effects and how long...

Schopenhauer's view is gloomy, indeed. No one has a really good solution to this, only good suggestions. And funny thing is, after we're told by Schop...

Great hypothesis! I believe you. Find a way to do an experiment on that.

I hear ya, man. As someone who took a hiatus from city life, I had half an acre to myself to live in the bare minimum. I slept well and woke up with m...

Encounter is the wrong word. Try imagine. We could have a notion of perfection. Imagine something perfect. Although, I want to take back what I said t...

I don't know what to make of your post because all the examples you gave are abuse of the moral senses. Before we could talk about that, let's talk ab...

I detest perfection -- whatever that means since I don't think I have encountered perfection ever. And I'm not even sure what a flawless life is. It's...

You do know what I mean. Are you saying that rape is justified sometimes? lol. No one could say, yes I raped her as a self-defense. How about we think...

Liar! Or you're a school of fish! Gratitude is a common knowledge. :smirk: That's what I get, too, from his post. Time to say something about this: He...

It's a family member, so there's a whole different mindset. The reciprocity bias was never there to begin with. Gratitude is what one expects from a f...

Herein lies the problem. If you must give, give wisely. Ask questions. I don't know what's your relationship with this person, but if they're family m...

"Necessity is the mother of invention" originated from Plato: Fear not. Watching too much netflix and youtube will make you feel that way. Here, let m...

Getting rid of blame is not logically sound. Why? How do we even start to define harm? Someone caused it, but he couldn't be blamed for it because the...

The blame here is the culpability of the person who caused the harm. Josh's argument is, if we get rid of the notion of blame, then we get rid of the ...

Tom, please do not inject another element into the argument. Josh and I and, I believe, Cuthbert, too, know what's at stake here. So, let's assume tha...

Good call on Strawson's quote. But as you can see above, Joshs's view is this: why don't we stop looking at is as free-will so that we could also stop...

I just said, they're found to be able to discern right from wrong. In short, they're not mentally ill. So yes, they are aware of what's morally correc...

The straying, as you also name it, has various causes. There are certainly people born with mental illness whose propensity to harm people is well doc...

Sorry. But I take a harder stance on moral claims -- those that involve suffering of the psychic and physical harm. I won't compromise on this. (Heck,...

You mean premeditation.

So does your view apply to every moral harm? Rapists? Murderers who murdered an entire family? Torturers of children? And sins, I didn't know that you...

Is this discussion a one-sided argument against a person who is injured one way or another by another person? i.e. the person who suffered harm could ...

Okay, thanks for the input. So why didn't he just correct it? He said 10 people had solved it. And "there's no correct answer" but follow the logic. S...

You could also respond by typing: thefirst8t

Okay. But he still owes us an answer.

Re-read the questions. There are 3 questions, in order of appearance:

But why delete the OP.

Don't ask a cop where a good chicken friendly neighborhood is. You're gonna get stupid answer. Ask the city zoning.

So what's the answer to the puzzle? Is @"DavidJohnson" still around?

If you need help moving, let me know. :)

Good luck!

This is my answer: thefirstcharacter10t

I really think you should try to move to a chicken-friendly neighborhood before you die.

:grin: Intelligence in action. I like where you're going with this, but this doesn't even factor in to the explanation as to why, if intelligence is d...

Yes, you have a point. That's why I think the studies do not refer to mere brute force as factor in intelligence. Rather, environmental pressure (this...

@"Josh Alfred", @"Banno", @"Schootz1", @"Count Timothy von Icarus" I think we can all agree that the Flynn effect's scope are the changes in IQ that h...

Ah that makes sense. I notice these chickens have small bodies and large wingspan. You should move to chicken friendly neighborhood. You should take a...

I take offense with this. Spirit lives on in infinite slumber. Somehow, flowers is one of those that we use to connect with them. And I always wonder ...

What is the meaning of this?

Incorrect. The reason is because we have a common understanding that while liars want to avoid that which is more harmful in relationships. Would you ...

For the record, I provided some passages of the articles about the studies conducted by the researchers whose names I also provided. So stop being dra...

Yes, I actually was thinking of something similar to Earth habitat. But yes, artificial structure would be more realistic. Nonetheless, if that's the ...

Not like a thunderbolt, but yeah. I had it, too. Deep fondness. It's crazy.

It's okay to beat around the bush.

Yes. Why do we have a hard time accepting nuclear energy? Is it due to ignorance? Lack of education? Cultural? Until the dinosaurs died, in short burs...
