Science doesn't dictate action. It provides data from which to decide what is valued. That's always the case. Let's remove the question from climate c...

You provide a very Kierkegaardian and therefore Christian view of faith. To the extent you're an adherent of that and want to make sense of that, I ca...

Why limit your death analysis to climate change issues and not conduct it every time you build a car or road? People rarely die in open fields, but th...

What sort of cargo do you haul within your trousers?

Speaking of take and get and give, it's common to say you're going to take a shower and give someone a bath, but it's less common to say you're going ...

I was complimentary. I said I liked @"javi2541997"'s use of language, the non-native usage creating a literary effect, from another time and place, so...

So Abraham casts out his first son Ishmael borne of Hagar into the wilderness to appease his jealous wife Sara now that she gave birth to Isaac, then ...

I'm talking to myself. Butt out.

I mean you said my comments were ban worthy and when asked why you double downed but didn't clarify, and you wonder why no love? Anyway consider it hu...

If I'm following, your approach is one of conventionalism, just trying to find the conventional use of the term without regard to the social implicati...

I like that your father "holds" a car, you "took" cornflakes for breakfast, and you purchased a "unit" of lemonade. It adds a certain literary flare t...

Social realism holds that a social fact (like money) gains its meaning through social acceptance (referred to as "anchoring") and the existence of cer...

I think you're just misreading my comment and not keeping it contextualized. My comment was responsive to yours, which started off with the word "real...

We have a perfectly useful word. Acts from kindness are referred to as "selfless," and it is not a prerequisite that an act to be moral that it not of...

No, that would still suggest the OP said something about the world, which it doesn't. It just asserts an incorrect definition. Give me a hypothetical ...

To be fully objective, it's a biological man who identifies and presents as a biologucal woman. Your definition suggests a third gender. Mine is silen...

Well, that's the debate. 'We" don't use it consistently. Some don't call transmen "men," but some do. We speak different languages in that regard. The...

Philosophy didn't create the distinction you're referencing. . You're attempting to use philosophy to eliminate a distinction. If all acts are selfish...

No, that is a quaint New England township where they hold townhall meetings and build a strong sense of community, welcoming of all types of life, eve...

A discord of philosophers.

Those mountains are as they exist through my window, so they are but a representation. Now, consider "window" not literally, and we have "window of my...

I completely agree with your theory about dreams, but only in your dreams.

You can pasteurize but not homogenize to kill the bacteria but maintain the old world separation of the cream.

I'd argue (probably successfully, as I'm quite persuasive) that religious and secular explorations are equally intellectually challenging, just differ...

So you're suggesting there might be a market for single malt milk all from the same barrel?

Olive loaf. Discuss, with a particular emphasis on personal experiences, but don't be burdened by truth.

France would prosecute me. If I flee back to the US, the French would extradite me. If France choose not to prosecute me, the US couldn't prosecute me...

We needn't wait 1,000 years to test your theory, but we can instead ask whether, now sitting in 2025, there was a meaningful distinction between secul...

I feel like there might be variation throughout the continent, some with delicious fruity drinks, others with fermented monkey piss.

In America we stand on our head and drink beer directly from the keg tap. The one who does it the longest wins loses.

I spose the convo I began by just inserting a quote from the book I happened to be reading at the time that I thought interesting ought be moved to it...

Had Zizek posted that here without us knowing it him, he'd be ridiculed relentlessly.

The many folks who claim religious beliefs are the abdication of autonomous reason, when the real basis of their objection isn't their perceived irrat...

To moor all this back to my original comments: My comments don't actually even use the word "religion," but they make claim to individual faith, altho...

I actually brush my teeth with Comet. It gets rid of that pesky enamel.

If you only provide two options: physicalist and theistic and you jettison theism, then physicalism by necessity.

Did they grind the bulbs with the windmills?

Tang is a powdered drink mix that is probably safer than the Comet @"javi2541997" seems to enjoy. You might also be able to use Tang to scrub your cou...

None of this explains abiogenesis, which is how chemicals turned into living entities. Evolution describes how life transforms over time, but not how ...

You just flip upside down and then rocket back towards earth, making sure you flip feet first to gently land instead of having your head stick like a ...

Jefferson denied the divinity of Jesus, wrote his own bible removing supernatural events, and was generally considered a deist. "Inalienable rights" i...

This game looks over.

I was told not to choose the pasta dish because it is basically just bread with some sort of added meat or vegetable stretched out to make a meal. It'...

Kind of hair splitting. Locke refers to the natural rights as life, liberty, and property and Jefferson in the Declaration as to the inalienable right...

Not what I said. I said the the Bill of Rights and the Declaration's reference to inalienable rights are manifestations from the same source, namely t...

Disagree. The Enlightenment concept of natural rights explicitly mentioned in the Declaration was critical in the ratification process of the Constitu...

Yes, if you can't give a hypothetical example of a supernatural event (i.e. it exists in no possible world), then it owes it non-existence to it being...
