Your first clue that you're not onto something rational. Let's hope not. It already has numerous times, they call that religion. Which is really just ...
No, all people who have things are benefitted by profit. There are no exceptions. No, there isn't. You and all other humans are almost exclusively dom...
No, great question, but I'd wager to say more retains-certain-functionality than anything even remotely approximating something as complex as consciou...
This is an assertion for which no evidence exists to support it. That lack of evidence has induced an awe in ignorance of an explanation. That ignoran...
Similar to that of Unit 731. That kind of shit. An insight that can be used to justify negating human life in the form of genocide, or lead one to sup...
No, it's a computational perception, or sensation. It is the computation itself that is real, which gives rise to sensation. Same thing. Pain is a mec...
I suppose I didn't use those words, fair enough. It is what I meant, however. No, I would ignore the methods by which he justified such a discovery as...
The do in chemical and elemental nature, or material. But, no, the individual human being is a complex system of systems with different structures and...
I would almost agree with this, and I see the elements of reason, however miniscule, in such an approach. But, no. However, I didn't say ignore him, b...
Didn't disagree with this. I said care and relate them to philosophy, no not happening. No, they can't. They can have deeply held beliefs and intellec...
So sorry, I meant the Bill of Rights, and his particular views being the predicate of Madison's drafting. My apologies, absolutey correct. Damn, I hav...
Cute. Kant's philosophies are immoral and I wish nothing to do with them. Of course I've read, I reject him. And the sun is of itself so, irrespective...
Nobody should give a shit what a Nazi said. As in, at all. Most people misinterpret Mein Kamf. You see how that's working there? That's exactly what i...
Every one of those individuals were directly influenced by Epicurean thought, atomism, rationality etc. that led them to produce their work. I love th...
No, that tradition comes from Epicureans, whom the Christians straight up became murderously enraged by the fact that they couldn't overcome the ratio...
Yeah, that's why they've had to kill all the philosophers historically, because it's completely fabricated bullshit that deserves absolutely no attent...
No, it actually doesn't. Homeostasis is a biological term that describes the sustained equilibrium of, not just all biological systems including human...
Oh, am I a little ant? Are we sure the little segmented insect isn't the person who just used such an absurd insult to someone instead of just making ...
Oh, just praise that big ole, sweet, sky-baby, making on the fermaments, and killing his own kids, talking through donkeys and bushes about being wors...
Yes, but it's more than that. It was the only real threat to Christianity when it was a growing religion. Christianity was not winning that intellectu...
Yeah, I mean, I get that. But, when I read about how Epicurus' ideas established the most peaceful, flourishing, non-political, literarily prolific, r...
It's more than that, though you're correct. Epicureanism is the philosophical platform that directly gave rise to rationalism, science, capitalism, fe...
I'm going to be honest, I haven't been this excited about learning a piece of philosophical history in years, and I have maintained a passionate love ...
I have, my issue is inconsistency with his good stuff and his bad. That's realy why I put him in the pit. He could have been great, instead was practi...
Notice how I said "IF," that's a conditional It isn't rational within the context of our current linguistic paradigm. And I have actually said here th...
You had me to this point right here. The sun is undefined as an entity that plays a specific role in the universe with or without observation? This, s...
The OP is literally a response to a discussion him and I had for over a week on the axact same subject. And yes, it is less debatable, because that ha...
What's my beef with a person who theorized in so much anger that the only ethical frameworks that can possibly exist are Master and Slave frameworks, ...
A reading of just the sources I sent demonstrates the complexity of the brain, that's specifically my point. And I don't care about opinions, I care a...
Yes, that's called a sound argument in basic logic. That's right, for something to be, it must be. Red is an experience, not a fact. It is a data inte...
That is specifically why he isn't a philosopher. The Academy is overrun with social-constructionists, Marxists, relativists, Kantians, Cartesians, Nie...
Is specifically assert this exact position above. Yep, that's what I said. Yes, if that is the most rationally consistent way to go about it. Again, a...
Oh, the reduction and the false dichotomy fallacies that seem to take everybody for fools. No, man. "Your brain is wired to listen to your body budget...
Yes, by "conception of reason," you mean his own, fabricated use of the word which clearly already has a working definition. I call this conception of...
Yes, but not in those kinds of terms. The way it appears to be me, given what is known about cognition, is that personalities are split into types. Th...
That's correct. Death is the absence of the ability to experience pleasure. Thus, not finding pleasure in it as an experience is not to be worried abo...
No, it's not willfull blindness. It's a complete tantrum in the face of being shown one is flawed in their basic assessment of a philosophy, an assess...
There is no such thing as "narrowly focused" on the most complex and sophisticated computational entity in the known universe. Such a "narrow" categor...
That's true, arguments not propositions. But no, you're still wrong: "A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if it takes a form that mak...
No, you specifically concluded that existence does not end upon death. That's specifically what you have claimed: "Which means my death cannot be the ...
Death is the irrevocable cessation of the functionality of the brain that produces every experience that verifies, validates, or impacts existence wit...
No, it doesn't seem valid. This is how you make it clear you're not familiar with logic. Logic is formal, definitive, has rules. Seem isn't a factor i...
I've demonstrated to him that his logic is invalid by using nothing more than day one logic class rules, and he doesn't want to give up. This is becau...
It's literally the basic principle of validity: A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if it takes a form that makes it impossible for t...
This is the part of that conclusion that turned into a R, in place of a Q. No, this conclusion is not implied in your premises. Your premises imply ex...
