From the mole in chemistry and nuclear physics to the relative nature of time the universe has yet to yield a single finite limit for anything outside...

Not replying to anyone but what's up with the philosophical hero worship? Who has the time!? Just learning the tools to educate myself takes up any ti...

To some extent you are, of course, correct. It slips into our thoughts no matter how often repeated our mantras against it. For myself and my personal...

From a technological perspective I see the internet becoming filtered on nodes by various versions of cultural semantic enforcement artificial intelli...

I'm sorry that you attribute that as my motive. For whatever it's worth, I wasn't trying to paint you, merely reading your word choice and temperment....

Look I really don't have time during the week to delve into much here. I tend to work over 100 hours a week right now (hopefully it's temporary). I me...

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that meandering mess of non sequitur and fragmented generalized nonsense. I'm not here to teach people. I'm ...

My personal philosophy has many intersections with Epicurianism but on critical and pivotal points we diverge. The most important one is that Epicurea...

I'm no expert on Chinese philosophy. I got about a month into trying to study the culture before I got disillusioned and disgusted with the pretension...

To start with, you use the word religion but mean Christianity and in that only the Christianity you personally grew up familiar with. The way you use...

Philosophy isn't only formal philosophy. Cultural norms are philosophy too. A parent teaching their child right and wrong is philosophy. The biggest p...

The scrolls used by religious leaders during that period of time were always in Hebrew, not Aramaic. It would have been sacrilege to any Jew to "quote...

I'm surprised you thought that was strong. I was merely trying to explain why your request didn't make any sense to me. It still doesn't. I don't know...

At any time if there is something you don't understand you're free to ask questions. I'm pretty new here but is that frowned on? Is everyone expected ...

I'm sorry you just don't seem to really know what you're asking for. I mean... would it help if I pointed to Hagger's Trait Self Control and Self Disc...

If you thought I was implying China is doing something right then please allow me to correct the misunderstanding. I think China is failing utterly. T...

Please try to understand I'm not trying to provoke you it's just that your initial sentence had no bearing on anything I said and your next sentence b...

The first step on the road to wisdom is to admit you know nothing from which point you can begin to construct a less corrupted view of the world. Your...

I was talking about literally every social chaos algorithm I've ever seen. not one of them retains cohesive structure without a binding variable like ...

I wasn't familiar and had to look him up. After reading (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maps_of_Meaning) I quickly realized why. It seems we have some ...

I'm kindof on the same side with @"Aaron R". When you talk about "the Real" you're talking about something you've personally built up in your own mind...

Literally every time he quoted scripture. You do know that all the gospels are written in Greek? Every time Jesus quoted the Torah it was a word-for-w...
