:clap: :up: :clap: BOJO is going to resign! I wonder which tory horror will replace him?
July 07, 2022 at 08:43
Again Mr pedestrian, you make trivial unimportant points. People expend effort which will produce an outcome, who cares if YOU think they deserve a re...
July 07, 2022 at 08:39
Again you demonstrate your pedestrian thinking. Deserts to tables are all human labels for constructs natural and built. A table has its own history o...
July 07, 2022 at 08:18
Perhaps from the 'thought experiment' of a sentient species that reproduces asexually and has no natural control over the process but still 'suffers' ...
July 06, 2022 at 20:23
Wow! Even the most evil-looking tory ever, Priti Patel has turned against her master. Bye Bye BO JO!!
July 06, 2022 at 19:18
'Deserve,' is a human concept akin to the human concept of justice. I think it has no relevance whatsoever to the natural events which have occurred i...

I wonder if Boris will be invited back to 'have I got news for you,' once he is turfed out? Perhaps he could tell fairy stories for children's televis...
July 06, 2022 at 10:37
Right back at you DUDE! Asexual reproduction does not require procreation with a mate so advising a creature that does not reproduce through sex, not ...
July 06, 2022 at 10:18
There you go! You don't even see the sources of your own suffering. Your stressed brain invokes my imaginary face and crotch, that's probably just you...
July 06, 2022 at 09:39
Perhaps you should read up on how asexuality works! Nonsense, as for many it would not merely 'frustrate one's preference,' it would prevent them from...
July 05, 2022 at 20:21
You have been knocked out so many times you are punchy and stuck in repeat BS mode. You remain an entertainment! How many contributers did you get to ...

Can't beat a bit of Billy Joel. A much better songwriter than most, including Paul McCartney imo.
July 05, 2022 at 19:45
I think that was just a cover of the Billy Joel song 'just the way you are.' I was thinking more of Barry singing songs like: https://youtu.be/ypyiAT1...
July 05, 2022 at 09:28
You type like a fundamentalist preacher. You ignore all the valid counterpoints made by others and just continue to preach from your antinatalist pulp...
July 05, 2022 at 07:22
In nature, sexual reproduction just happens to be the method that became established for humans. We might have been asexual reproducers like the Komod...
July 04, 2022 at 21:57
I understand why anyone with little in their lives on a day-to-day basis, except suffering, turning to whatever escapism they are able to take part in...
July 04, 2022 at 21:12
No as in the transhuman future I envisage there will be a lot more options to control what YOU currently consider 'harms.' Even today, you have a skew...
July 04, 2022 at 20:51
Yes, I think we will gain much better control over all examples that we currently call human suffering and we will have much more choice about how (an...
July 04, 2022 at 10:18
Those early experiences are still part of who we are and still directly influence our primal fears. The struggle will continue, the antinatalists are ...
July 04, 2022 at 10:02
I have no children of my own because I was unable to establish the necessary stable environments (couldn't pick a good woman out of a crowd if my life...
July 04, 2022 at 09:32
Are you referring to your own dalliances with the concept of antinatalism? Antinatalists don't present it that way however. They declare having childr...
July 04, 2022 at 08:57
In general, I do support assisted death or the right of a human to legally request termination of their own life if they are terminal and face a futur...
July 04, 2022 at 08:05
Yeah Sherlock, humans must continue to struggle to build a fairer society for all, well done, you worked that one out all by yourself. They don't Sher...
July 04, 2022 at 07:31
Your OP argument has been addressed and exposed as impotent. I have responded in kind to your insulting manner and you will continue to get back what ...
July 04, 2022 at 07:06
Again, I beg to differ. You made no comment regarding my example of the recent death of Deborah James who was very life-affirming despite her intense ...
July 03, 2022 at 11:10
As you yourself agree, no economic or academic or sociological condition that you possess can protect your offspring from random happenstance harms. S...
July 03, 2022 at 10:29
I am not hopeless (even in brackets). One person's romance can be experienced by another as pure trauma. Do you really think the rich qualify as good ...
July 03, 2022 at 10:21
Or perhaps oh mio povero bambino is more appropriate.
July 03, 2022 at 10:07
I think its time to treat you as an innocent. Italian sounds most apt imo. oh mio caro bambino
July 03, 2022 at 10:06
Is that it, is that all you have? Just 'address the argument,' no matter how many times and how many posters have not just addressed your infantile ar...
July 03, 2022 at 09:58
I think this is a sweeping generalisation and might even in fact be a purely personal statement. How many 'dramatisations' have you seen of people exp...
July 03, 2022 at 09:28
Antinatalists, conveniently ignore, the massive harm and suffering many people would experience if they could not have children. People will turn to I...
July 03, 2022 at 09:16
Well, the above certainly does demonstrate how skewed your logic is and how your bad logic results in bad conclusions. I am left with the image of you...
July 03, 2022 at 08:32
You know that's not a valid question. In the same way that the response 'where are the supporting documents that children did NOT choose to be born? T...
July 03, 2022 at 08:24
Is the child responsible for any pain/suffering/stretch-marked skin etc caused to the mother during the birth process or is it a consequence of an evo...
July 02, 2022 at 20:17
Yep, I find such people very inspirational. As a teenager, I decided to become academic and aim for Uni because of Carl Sagan. No single human has inf...
July 02, 2022 at 19:41
I have always favoured string theory and Mtheory.
July 02, 2022 at 19:36
I am also a Sean Carroll fan but I am a fan of all cosmologists even when they have different theories from Carlo Rovelli to Mark Tegmark.
July 02, 2022 at 19:34
I wish I had the physics/maths expertise required to understand the details in his papers. I have listened to some of those who don't fully support CC...
July 02, 2022 at 19:25
Well, we certainly seem to be moving at the largest scale from low to high entropy so It seems plausible that when all matter turns back to energy, th...
July 02, 2022 at 19:04
From the OP of my thread link I posted above: The conformal cyclic cosmology ( CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity, ad...
July 02, 2022 at 18:52
Quick correction, my thread was not ABOUT CCC but it describes the basic concept.
July 02, 2022 at 18:39
You might find my thread on CCC (the Penrose bounce) interesting as a candidate for 'before the big bang' https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/12...
July 02, 2022 at 18:26
You again demonstrate your shallow thinking. You project dialogue regarding connection between individual thought and universal purpose onto your unde...
July 02, 2022 at 11:18
Fair enough. It makes sense to me. We are all made of the same raw materials, all of which are natural and of the universe. We all ask questions. When...
July 02, 2022 at 10:45
Not true as you advocate for 'prevention' of conscious/sentient lifeforms which can be harmed despite the fact such gives purpose to the universe. Suc...
July 01, 2022 at 08:28
What a stupid response! A clear demonstration of how shallow your thinking is. We are OF the universe so yes it has feelings through us, as it has pur...
July 01, 2022 at 07:47
No, you conflate and project 'undeserved' with 'unjust,' a point that has already been made to you many times on this thread but you are too chiseled ...
July 01, 2022 at 07:12
So stop being misogynistic! Keep your aspirations high!
June 30, 2022 at 19:20
The universe is a big place. If we had increased longevity, were much more robust and could travel faster, we could see a lot more of it and truly bre...
