Yes, you used words to describe something that wasn't homeostasis. Yes, that's why their crawling to them to purchase services only they can provide. ...
Hehah! Yes, I'm fine. Don't think it was messianic, I hate those. Sure, things aren't looking so good. With the world organized the way it is, and in ...
No, it's just accurate descriptions. Instead of characterizing my words, argue against them. I know that, that's because everything you've been taught...
Did what first? Aristotle is the father of logic. Epicurus is the one who instantiated empiricism, atomism, consciousness as the result of an organ in...
Here's where your analysis is confusing you. Existence is self-generating, according to all known data, or empirical observation. Observation preceeds...
No, you misunderstand, I have loads of empirical evidence of that. I need empirical evidence that would suggest that not only is all of the current em...
No, that's just objective material phenomena. I mean evidence for your claim of: the mind or a mindlike aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature...
the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. If conscious...
No, it's entirely different langauge. Harm, as he's meaning, is not bad as Epicurus' mean His rational is the basis for modern science. It's where non...
Because it is self-evident, interactable, testable, manipulable, and what we're composed of: objective material. A better question would be, why would...
Yes, it is self evident and attempts to deny it using it as a stand, is contradictory and admitting of recognizing it. Also, non-objectivity has no ap...
Yes. And the issue with any detraction, that's any whatsoever that sounds theortically intelligent, or compelling, is simple proof. I would change my ...
This is not what any premise of his states. This is his argument right here: Death is nothing to us; for the body, when it has been resolved into its ...
No. It appeared you were saying something else, nothing more. Seems I do, and you've created a strawman, for which I provided evidence. Good job. No, ...
What's that? This is a contradiction. Individuals are not free, if they are "granted" access to participate in a social contract that they didn't agre...
Patience? I'm an ethical philosopher, this is what I live for, dude. Of course I'll tell you, and I welcome any challengers, and as many that want to ...
That's specifically why I said it was semantic, so let's clear it up. The only violations of the freedom individual human consciousness to express its...
No problem. So, to actually have a standard that works, one must first understand where standards come from. That would be the human mind. We create s...
That remains to be seen. Finally something pleasant from you, a bit reductionist, but it'll do. I'm in the Academy. I know exactly what is going on. I...
No, only recently discovered him in full-force, as in literally the past week. Knew of him, didn't know the full story. And yes, he is, without questi...
I mean, I'm not just saying it, either. The only societies that I know of that have ever been peaceful, harmonious, co-operative, capitalistic, and vi...
No, that which is justifiable are actions that without proper provocation would not be justifiable. For example, if you have consensual sex with a wom...
He who goes round in circles becomes a wheel, my friend. To say that you have gotten what you haven't been given, is an indication that you are giving...
That's not homeostasis. Scraps are profit. And perhaps they should try harder and live more virtuously. No, just their masters. But in actuality is th...
I think you misunderstand, I wasn't positing a question. It was a statement. Recognition of evil is not anger, or resentment. My choice of words is st...
No, the brain is an empirical observation of an objective entity. Concepts are produced by the brain as a result of data accrual through exactly those...
Why? I expect no such thing from anyone, least ways family members, as those are the most arbitrary relationships in one's entire life. I never did un...
That is precisely right. When it comes to virtues, both MUST be playing the same rules, the very moment expectation of virtue is placed on someone, it...
Because your society doesn't value it. You do, but perhaps too much. Why should reciprocation be expected, is he your property or something? You reall...
Barring none, whatsoever. I've no issue observing science and relying on such terms, papers, research, etc. If it arises that such sources are actuall...
Gotcha, simple misunderstanding. I like you better already, old chap. I can always be asked for clarification, I don't mind at all. Glad we're seeing ...
Thought, all thought, what you call the "mind," is a function of the brain. There remains no distinction, until one can be shown. Philosophy does not ...
A false premise makes an argument invalid, meaning it can be dismissed. Here you are saying that we can most certainly dismiss what is invalid. If you...
No I don't. There is no "out of" the brains, such is not required for the brain to perceive what is out of it. And logic doesn't need to do so, as it ...
That's correct, it is to be negated until formulation of the argument includes true premises and true conclusions. That's why whenever you give me a f...
So, some good work, but unfinished. His Epistemology is sound, but neuroscience hadn't revealed what's really going on there yet, so it is unrefined. ...
Fuck Heidegger. If someone can't tell you about a concept without worshipping the Nazi it comes from, then they've more philosophy to get to. Besides,...
I'm going to safely conclude not. And no, that isn't the issue. A singular philosophical insight within an ethical framework is negated by the impleme...
You sure this isn't a definitive statement on how to live? So, if I place a witch doctor next to Einstein and have them both conduct their science, yo...
Any and all forms of political activity are exercises in evil, and nothing else. Those who participate in such activities are themselves enslaved to a...
I would honestly say that Stoicism is little more than a derivative of Epicureanism, same as Skepticism. Basic disagreements were over what constitute...
This would be an issue of theories that don't imply that level of analysis as a prinicple. Not of systems theories, or holistic theories. Truly holist...
