Empirical is defined as: based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic: "they provided conside...
Why do you think so many people work so hard to alleviate suffering? Such as the whole medical profession and those involved in medical research and w...
Empirical in that it can be tested/investigated by experiment. Yes, you can test the emotional responses of individuals, either in a lab or even perso...
No bluff involved, I am only reffering to my basic understanding of what neuroscience has and is investigating. A very basic example from wiki: Jenny ...
Well yes, especially for 'important information,' about the structure and workings of the universe but I also consider as empirical, my own empirical ...
Same reason why so many humans are still attracted to the 'freak show,' imo. Finding out why some members of a species would vote for not just termina...
I am most interested in information that has empirical support not the musings of entertaining authors of human fiction. I place fairy in a different ...
So do fairies and orcs and a race of omnipotent beings called the Q in Star Trek. But none of them have any existent either and to suggest they have i...
So you have become hopeless, that's a shame after all your hard work. I have not become hopeless, and I am confident that there are billions like me. ...
If you are actually campaigning and working hard to help make a better human civilisation and someone suggests you are trying to create a utopia and u...
Supernatural has no existent. So you agree with me then. If you insist that an omnipotent creature can exist, then you are in BS territory. yes? What ...
Go ahead, explain! I don't give the same credence to posits about the supernatural compared to the credence I give to posits which are based on logic ...
All gods. I have no problem with someone's personal woo woo regarding their personal god. They are welcome to it but if you preach it to me as somethi...
This has too much personal depth in it for me to accurately unpackage. I can run it around in my head, but I am sure that whatever interpretations I c...
It's certainly true there is still a great deal of work to do before we achieve a better global human society. I think today's youth are up to the tas...
:lol: Those who connect anti-life posits with omni god posits, have to muse on why a superhero god does not end the experiment the anti-life people ex...
The nefarious few are most happy when the abused majority believe that any real improvement is utopian, beyond their reach and a forlorn hope. So, tho...
No, just a better way of living. So, you agree, we need to change that and reject the capitalist world? So, again, you agree we need to change the own...
And China, I think. An independent Scotland would try to re-join the European union. I would go further, I love the idea of a continent called the UPE...
An angry discontented global youth has the ability to end the civilisation models currently established in China and the USA. People make countries an...
Everything you type here is accurate when it comes to the current state of affairs. You identify that we cannot have production techniques which cause...
Democratic agency. The consent of the majority of all of the stakeholders involved or the consent of the majority of their democratically elected repr...
I don't think there is a binary yes/no choice here. Going back a bit in time, you might ask was it ethical to produce the horse and cart which meant t...
I couldn't agree more Javi. I love it when you type such words, they offer some hope as you are part of the younger generation compared to me. BUT, I ...
:lol: Moved to the lounge! Obviously, a mod/administrator thought this line of questioning threatened the very fabric of their capitalistic preference...
I don't know about rational, but it's certainly a racist, elitist solution. But those in charge of country 1 would just call you a deluded 14 who pedd...
:rofl: It's fascinating that you think such an act has any significance. If you convince everyone on TPF to do the same then, yes, you will certainly ...
But there could be national celebration and enormous national pride and many new opportunities for the people of country 3 who have progressed (based ...
Interesting, if we based the rating purely on the main measurements used to rate the success of free market capitalism. Do you think most humans would...
Thanks for contributing Javi! My question is not about how we came to choose the names chosen for our current 197 countries. Its about what affects do...
So was I Javi. That about covers the importance of a countries name imo, its nothing but mere etymology. You did inspire me to write a wee thread howe...
I do understand some of your more unpalatable world views friend, which is why I am trying to debate stuff with you. As it seems to me, you have a gre...
That's the whole point Javi. There were millions of people living on that land mass before it was named after the relative nobody Amerigo Vespucci. Br...
Make sure you include an emoticon of a clown mask, when you type such words Javi or readers will think you have lost your way. Just in-case your serio...
Don't you mean, learn the language of those who conquered the native peoples of Brazil in the 15th century? If the native cultures had been left alone...
I broadly agree but I don't agree that the majority of the members of the human race are ignorant children who have to be forced into behaving like ci...
I don't see the distinctions you are making, and I don't concur with the reasons you are citing. A Kentuckian is quite a different 'nationality' that ...
Realpolitik has been real since way before Uruk, but yeah I agree the first step to a cure is admitting you are ill. And you believe that such makes a...
Good for you, shame if this happens in the background: https://youtu.be/8ALdL8oV_sY Let's hope enough of us are paying enough attention to always prev...
