This. Coupled with an, "Oh, it's another 'atheists are religious too!'" thread. And an eye roll. Coming from the guy claiming that the only real athei...
Yeah, but you're not. If I burned your house down, then you'd have to relocate. If I was Elton John, then I'd be a best selling solo artist. If apples...
Only madmen and philosophers say such things and expect to be taken seriously. The world is real, I can vouch for it. My life values won't alter the r...
Which is why I attempted to draw out his thinking about this link he has made with idealism through the seemingly trivial fact that the equipment in t...
Are the discussions in there really so different from many of those elsewhere? Silly questions aren't exclusive to the philosophy of religion category...
No, I don't have to. I haven't claimed or implied that I know that any particular event will or won't happen later today, and I don't need to. That's ...
Seriously though, you should stop misleading people about the "immediacy" and "pressing nature" of the threat. It's not like a gun being held to my he...
I'm already familiar with idealism. I doubt that further reading on idealism will help explain your reasoning about instruments being man-made and the...
No, I don't think you have. I almost don't know where to begin. There's a lot which is unclear or makes little sense. Like, at the start, I'm struggli...
Because there's a vast multitude of topics in philosophy to write about, and that's just one topic, and it's one which is associated more with politic...
Defining those who don't see things your way, or who have other priorities, as irrational or literally insane, ironically, does not strike me as motiv...
And Russell campaigned against nuclear weapons. And there are plenty of academics who publish books on the threat of nuclear weapons, as evidenced by ...
It's an affront to lump Russell in with Heidegger and accuse him of being an apologist for tyranny. Heidegger joined the Nazi party, and remained a me...
Question of the day: Is humanity like a sentient toaster? Yes, you heard me right. And there I was, thinking it was going to be just another run-of-th...
That's alright, I don't depend on your continued interest in the discussion or on your ideals of a debate free from harsh words and ridicule, in which...
Therefore you win and it all makes sense now. For a moment there I thought I had you on the ropes, but boy, you showed me! Well, except for the minor ...
I think the issue here has extended beyond any anti-Rand sentiment. The issue has morphed into the more general issue of fanaticism, with you as the u...
No, you can't have been. You must have only thought that that's what you were doing because the porpoises have been whispering in your ear. Well, not ...
Are you suggesting that capitalism is not in fact just a stage in history, which will eventually collapse due to internal contradictions, and be repla...
Oh, my mistake. Everyone who doesn't entirely agree with her on that one is obviously mistaken. Unlike Rand, in the eyes of her disciple. :starstruck:...
No. We're not "meant" to do anything, least of all something which makes so little sense. Report the nature of reality back to its existence? "Hey, ex...
I see no more reason to redefine God as everything in existence than to redefine Zeus as everyone wearing a hat. I'll refer to everything in existence...
That's not a normal question to ask. We already have answers to that question which you're no doubt familiar with. So I think what you're actually doi...
No, I did not write that I'm merely eliciting responses. I'm not so one dimensional. And what do you want from me? Must I point out, for your sake, wh...
So honesty makes me a troll? I think it's refreshing in an otherwise stale and predictable discussion. If you don't think that it's worth addressing, ...
