Why did you help them? You didn't feel bad for them at all in the beginning? If selfishness isn't the disregard of other people's feelings, then what ...

I asked chat GPT to name 15 theories that could explain the origin of the universe, whether they are scientific, spiritual or religious: Big Bang Theo...

So what you are saying is that the possibility that the universe is a subject has already happened and therefore cannot be anything else? Also when wa...

I'm not sure I understand. The probability of a possibility is one? (you said probability that the universe CAN exist as a subject). It can exist as a...

Thanks for playing the game! I'll clarify the points: 6) We don’t have enough knowledge to make a plausible hypothesis of the creation of the universe...

I would just say that I see cognitive biases as the result of a normal emotional response in humans, which affects the "direction" of thoughts. I don'...

Wait...What? You're actually debating it? It's ironic, right? Thank you! You directly put it on a scale because you know that "big/small" doesn't give...

What evidence do we have to demonstrate that humans are selfish? I still think the question emerges from an illogical reasoning in the first place. Ye...

Yes, how does it lack logic? What makes these questions illogical? Are all philosophers doing research in academia? I don't think so. Enough? What do ...

In the implicit meaning the questions give to these terms. Sorry, I didn't mean to play the teacher, and I'm not expecting an academic answer, I'm jus...

Aren't all philosophical topics anthropocentric?

I'm assuming that's how religious people could reassure themselves, yes, why not? They basically stop thinking about it because they trust God, they t...

?? Did you miss the part where I say that people assume they're gonna find the meaning of the afterlife in the afterlife itself?

It's not so much about the moment of dying itself, but dealing with existential crisis during your life. If you start thinking about these topics, if ...

So you're not afraid of disappearing because you believe you'll always exist somewhere in this universe? But to you, to your consciousness, the passin...

So what's your imaginary comfort on this one? That you live for your family? What if your family was dead and you didn't have any friends? Would you t...

Because picturing "nothing" is scary, because death is scary? Also about the meaning of life, there isn't any, why don't we all commit mass suicide?

That's a rumour that appeared after his death... Even if it's true, we would have discovered the structure of DNA at that time anyway because they alr...

The human body is used to the sober state, so naturally it functions best in that state. When you're high, it's a drastic change into an environment y...

I never disagreed with that. It's really funny cause I created another thread to try and name this kind of behaviour. Wanting more certainty doesn't m...

Yes, thanks, I guess this would include what I'm talking about, although equivocation is not specific to the binary vs non binary problem caused by si...

Mmmm I don't know, it doesn't seem context related to me. I believe anyone (who likes questioning things) could say "you're selfish" and mean "you're ...

Everything is closer than everything? :sweat:

Yes, it's getting closer. The only problem I have is that saying "you're selfish" or "how can you be sure" isn't a deliberate exaggeration, they're ac...

It's not really a phenomenon but a type of fallacy maybe? It's not just skepticism, because both persons could be skeptics, one is just using a simpli...

So you shouldn't try to work with things that are more certain than others? You shouldn't try to maximise the certainty? When I said "how can you be s...

Yeah sure but how do you prevent yourself from using it terribly? For guns you can have a license, also check if you're stable mentally, but what abou...

How does anything of what you sent me answer any of my questions? If you're implying it's excessive to push the bias theory as far as having bias in t...

What if you’re biased with another bias when you conclude you’re biased? What if you like the cognitive bias theory so much that it’s the confirmation...

But how do you plan to do that if you can't even know for sure if it's there or not? At a given moment for a given opinion, we have no tools to detect...

Well, having cognitive biases would lead to a more "subjective" vision of reality, so cognitive bias mitigation would naturally lead to a more "object...

Just because we use numbers for interpretations doesn't mean the phenomenon is quantitatively measurable... Um... I'm going to ignore that, I don't wa...

That doesn't mean that it's measurable quantitatively...

That works for experiments, not personal opinions... You could have a lot of well-grounded reasons to believe in something, even though there aren't d...

More objective truth helps with survival though... I didn't get that...

I just thought of something else. Do you think someone who spends a lot of time understanding people will be able to grasp one's opinion better? You t...

The way I see it: if a person defines both terms, and ask one of these questions on this forum, they probably want to challenge the logic behind it. I...

In other words : Question : Is the mind separated from the body? Philosophical answer : Probably not, because it would cause a lot of problems if it w...

Well, if this is what philosophy does, it becomes even clearer to me that it's impossible for science and philosophy to collaborate... What do you thi...

Thank you! I think you understood my point. Could you give me an example? I don't see it as it would unify all fields, but rather use some scientific ...

I excepted this to be more funny, disappointed.

Oh but by the way, I thought you said you didn't want to argue anymore, what happened to that?

I did, in the OP, but if you think some parts are unclear, do tell.

Well have you thought about asking more questions instead of jumping into criticism? What... This is such a twisted idea, why would anyone want to do ...

Again, can you please read my OP? I said science based: chemistry, biology and physics. You didn't understand what I meant, and I don't think you want...

Wait I'm confused : "is"? Like it actually exists? Yeah careful, we're coming, be prepared.

Yep that works too! Because it's in the concept itself ;)

I think you understood that I wanted to remove philosophy and do sciences only, which is absolutely not what I meant. I suggest you read again my OP w...

Absolutely not, Popper is talking about science, about the method, about what qualifies as science, so this is philosophy of science, not a science-ba...

If you could give me an example, I could show you how it is different from what I mean. But you won't do it so I assume you're not interested in debat...
