Too much nonsense. Must go buy organic bananas.

Lead paint. Damn!

Human extinction as a result of AGW? Who says that?
July 05, 2021 at 19:59
Migraine is a vascular problem, not cancer. Point is, he went nuts.
July 05, 2021 at 19:41
Read The Long Thaw by David Archer. He says there is no reason to believe humans won't survive the changes. I take from your answer that your statemen...

Maybe if I mischaracterize what you said often enough, you'll finally realize you're wrong!
July 05, 2021 at 19:34
Human extinction due to AGW? Who said that?
July 05, 2021 at 19:32
Oh yes, I get why people say N is food for thought. Definitely. The Antichrist comes across as psychology. Proto-Jungian. He wants to analyze the Savi...

What's a vox pop?
July 05, 2021 at 18:50
As Searle said, the man on the street is a Cartesian. You're barking up the wrong tree. What's the draw of property dualism? It takes a tiny bit of ph...
July 05, 2021 at 18:42
And if there was any science to show that, you could go in that direction. There isn't. What makes property dualism worth the evil of being open-ended...

Same sort of thing as a body. Quartz clock, registers, blah blah blah. Why?
July 05, 2021 at 17:35
It's obvious to your doctor. If you're going to tell your doctor she's wrong, don't come with a thesis that convolutes off into wtf, as property duali...

In conclusion, reading The Antichrist is like finding a diamond in a giant pile of excrement.
July 05, 2021 at 16:15
Neither property nor substance has succeeded in the sense of putting the question to rest for philosophers or scientists. I think Hanover is saying th...
July 05, 2021 at 14:45
No. You've got a truckload of self-righteous anger, but few facts. Whether you correct that or not depends on how much you are actually interested in ...

There is a law. We keep it in a little box on the coffee table. Mmm. Coffee

I don't know of any legit scientists who say we're doomed either way. But you realize that this is a long-term problem? Broaden your temporal horizon ...
July 05, 2021 at 12:38
Dead, but not doomed. Nice epitaph. :rofl:

180 stumbles. Head builds momentum toward pavement. mind-body problem probly
July 05, 2021 at 11:46
But no subject.
July 05, 2021 at 11:41
I was talking specifically about the delta variant. Our experience so far suggests that herd immunity doesn't exist for this variant. Both the previou...
July 05, 2021 at 11:40
:grin:
July 05, 2021 at 03:30
Getting vaccinated doesnt keep you from spreading the delta variant. It just lowers your risk of death. It's survival of the fittest time in the US.
July 05, 2021 at 03:06
And the strongest argument from a logical standpoint?
July 05, 2021 at 02:01
Who pissed in and 's cereal such that they need to trash somebody else's thread? The thread is about argument strength. Have a little respect and addr...
July 05, 2021 at 01:21
I don't think so. The meaning is pretty intuitive. Ground, not subject.
July 05, 2021 at 01:05
Hanover goes for Occam's razor. Nicely done.
July 05, 2021 at 00:14
That's more interesting to me as well. Agnosticism has the strength of skepticism, which always wins, but it's not a victory that pays out much ultima...
July 05, 2021 at 00:02
Cool post, thanks. In the Antichrist, N treats a god as a sign of how people see themselves. The issue about the weak is like:. two kids are playing i...

If one finds epic poignancy in contemplating the demise of our species, that's love. It means all the cynicism and religious based self hatred has dro...

In 34 N emphasizes that his target includes idealism, whether subjective or objective, talking about the Christ, he says: "If I understand anything at...

In Antichrist, hes not focusing on building morality back. He's just saying that when self condemnation becomes the prevailing vibe (as in Christianit...

That was Abu Ghraib. Guantanamo was worse.
July 04, 2021 at 00:23
I think the plan was to democratize the middle east and button up sources for bomb material. Saddam wouldn't cooperate with UN inspectors and he was a...
July 04, 2021 at 00:15
In 2 of the Antichrist, he defines good and evil this way: "What is good? Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in ...
July 03, 2021 at 21:28
I agree. Science or knowledge is always biased in the sense that it orbits some worldview. That quote is from the philosophy of architecture. So what'...
July 03, 2021 at 12:02
So you're saying that living out someone else's morality is easy, it provides an easy Good buzz. How would you explain the alternative? That embracing...

Dissent for the sake of dissent? Orr is there a principle behind choosing freedom over the collective good?
July 03, 2021 at 10:05
Coincidentally, a coworker insisted that I listen to Tom Waits on the way home today. Excellent stuff.
July 03, 2021 at 01:00
Sigh.

A lot of Nietzsche is unbearably dumb, but he nailed that one. You guys are just left in the dust. :cool:

I really didn't mean it that way. I have recent ancestors who had stone age technology. Maybe that's why it doesn't scare me? Returning to that life w...
