That's cool. That song "Goodnight Irene" is one my father used to sing.

Are you asking if we can dispense with morality? I think we do when we look at ourselves naturalistically, anthropologically.

That would require a transcendent vantage point which is unavailable. There's no basis for perception being revealed, but just a parade of myths, meta...

Sure. And that kind of data can be interpreted in a thousand different ways. There's no way to determine which is correct. It's fun to work on philoso...

But this doesn't go beyond the realm of speculation. Notice that you're giving an account of the nature of reality, but you don't have the transcenden...

:razz:

Nah. A deflationary account of truth is compatible with either realism or anti-realism.

Live bluegrass is really cool. If they play any gospel music, they like it if you dance the whirling dervish dance. You just put your arms straight ou...

I don't let my diagnosis define me.

They've just been deflated till they're flat as pancakes.

But imagine that you're one of of Trump's supporters. You really believe Trump has been unfairly targeted by authorities to keep him from fulfilling h...

We're aiming for the philosophical 17th Century. Somehow we keep missing it. :blush:

One assumes someone posted it. Maybe it was Floyd.

All you can do is assert it. You have no proof.

These guys aren't Jewish, but they're from Atlanta. https://youtube.com/watch?v=g0YbQuuz01k&feature=share8

You're dreaming. Prove me wrong.

Sure. There's just no way to prove they're "of the same reality.". People just do it without any evidence or sturdy reasoning. That is worth pondering...

Mudcracks for the ages!

I think it's insurmountable. What you can do is methodological metaphysics.

Sometimes democracy just doesn't work for the people. Democracy isn't an inherent good. It lasts as long as it provides minimal stability. Once things...

:chin: I'm going to paint my car so it looks like it's made out of pottery. Like this color: https://dynamix-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/reliableaircom/red-c...

You have to boil it twice. It tastes like spinach.

I meant where did they really come from.

Where did the Israelites originally come from?

Did you know Houdini was Jewish?

I saw Judas talking to some cops, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Affirmative action was an attempt to force fairness by doing something that wasn't fair. Did it do more good than harm? I don't know if there's any wa...

Did they have a human sacrifice after the battle?

It looks like a stork. https://www.marylandzoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/whitestork-animalprofile.jpg

I don't think you've over-thought this at all. Just the right amount. :up:

That's a good way to put it. :up:

Science starts with assumptions rooted in worldview, so any scientific assertion is conditional. Same for most statements that are held to be known.

Is it better to talk a lot on a date, or just listen?

:heart:

He's just been trying to protect me, so I'm loved and accepted, so the cops don't profile me, so I'm safe and sound in the bosom of respectability. If...

Cogito ergo sum.

Wow! What are they?

That's a heavy load to carry.

In some situations you have to look at the person within the body and hold off on judgement. Then the body just becomes part of the human potential, a...

This is another video about a de-transitioned youth. She expresses some of the same concerns that a former forum member spoke about, regarding the tra...

Do you make the sate sauce yourself?

Unless a person can't find any beauty at all in masculinity. Then we have a pathological bias.

If there's room. If not, just check all the boxes.

That chicken is flashing the victory symbol. It looks like an imperialist asshole.

Oh. :chin:

I would rather people didn't ask me what pronoun I prefer. It's none of their business.

Has Russia ever had an actual coup? I can't think of one.

Well, this: is not happiness. It's bitterness.

You're sounding kind of bitter of late. Cheer the fuck up.
