Case in point: in another thread, someone commented to you and you responded that they should read my response to that same question because I articul...

I just do. This idea that every mundane thought must be articulated into language and spoken to oneself is absurd. Perhaps you're describing your own ...

I just don't understand what you're saying. If you're saying the phenomenal is all there is, then you're either arguing idealism or you're taking an a...

So funny you should ask. I'm out of town for the long holiday weekend and the new pet sitter called, apparently upset my dogs cornered her and left he...

Nice. But I try to think of God as the ideal. No need to aspire to be the guy next door.

I gain greater comfort in knowing that each blade of grass is exactly where it ought to be. Why do you gain greater comfort in divine halfassery?

Does the Peter Principle better describe God's position or this rabbi's?

Flame much?

It is certainly irrelevant to this discussion, and I will continue to treat this as philosophical debate, as I'd have hoped you would have.

It's irrelevant if their objective is to punish women or if they are the most honorable among us. Either there is a sound basis for regulating abortio...

It's just a worthless ad hom argument. Even if the ad hom attacks were correct it would have no bearing on whether there were legitimate grounds to re...

What a terrible post.

Sure, and my point was that unless you're going to fall into some sort of solipsism, you have to make assumptions based upon the observations you make...

That's not what the people say who oppose abortion, so you've psychoanalyzed them all, including the women who hold that position and determined them ...

How do I conclude you are intelligent and not a cloud responding to pressure zones?

The elephant as you've described it here is the phenomena, not the noumena. If not, how do you distinguish the phenomenal and noumenal?

I assume the inner workings of my mind are the same as yours and to a lesser degree my goat's. I'm not sure why animal minds should be treated as oper...

Some Republican state like Texas should pass a law prohibiting abortion and the Court could rule that abortion is a protected right under the Constitu...

This isn't correct on a couple of levels, the first being that life for a woman in Afghanistan bears little resemblance for life as a woman in the US,...

Why must you concoct such odd solutions to the question of how goats remember? My dog's behavior (and my cat's and my chickens to some degree) all exh...

This will take us maybe too far afield because I don't want to turn this into a debate over the virtues of capitalism versus socialism, but, suffice i...

My goats run to their barn when I arrive with treats. How do they remember to do that?

So clarify for me what this is specifically about. My understanding of the Texas law is that it provides civil remedies against abortion clinics and t...

A couple of things from this: When the US was debating universal public healthcare, one of the things that derailed it was the Republican argument tha...

I responded to this just above, and I'd add in the equation that justice does not demand that the consequences of bad behavior naturally flow or bear ...

If you show up in the ER from a car wreck and you weren't wearing your seatbelt, end of the line for you! Typically a patient is triaged based upon th...

If I'm following... You're referencing sort of a raw data feed that enters your brain, unprocessed at all by reason. It's a hyper-empiricism, devoid o...

In closing, just to give some insight, Prishon was asked to slow down his posting, not only by the mods, but by other posters, and a good number of hi...

If you're using religion to understand how the physical world works, sure, that's a bad move. And science the hydrogen bomb, and governments oppressio...

@"Prishon" banned for low quality posts.

The significance of speech in Judaic thought is a thing (tracht gut vet zein gut, and lashon hara), but I'm having trouble correlating that to contemp...

So, the NT King James version uses the word "word" as the definition of "logos" in the opening line of John in the sentence "In the beginning was the ...

Send me the link to this past discussion so that I can get up to speed.

If you are suggesting that "gods" generically adhere to the description provided, that would simply be incorrect to the extent there are religions tha...

The inability to move between religions accounts for why most hold to the religion of their upbringing. The foundational mythology of most religions i...

If the world began when language began, then millions of years prior to the evolution of language existed in some non-existent state, whatever that me...

The fact that they both attempt to answer the same questions doesn't make them the same fields. If that were the case, then science would be philosoph...

This is from John 1:1 from the New Testament. My understanding is that "the word" is the translation of the Greek logos, which is understood as Jesus....

The outbreaks were in New York, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, New Jersey, and California, not the bible belt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles_re...

As an aside, what you describe isn't institutionalized racism, but institutionalized classism. Race might distinguish class in certain societies, but ...

They were mandated in certain settings. I recall there being a measles vaccine mandate when I was in public school and having to stand in line in the ...

I must have been in a different discussion group. My recollection was that you were arguing your decision not to vaccinate was supported by a study th...

Now we're arguing fairness. I thought we were talking about whether invalid data should be considered, but now you're saying you get to argue bullshit...

So this is just about niceness? Fine, I'm judgy and mean. I would have conceded that before we began and saved ourselves time. My point is that while ...

Lovely. I'll strike out all prior references to it now that you withdraw it.

And what is the uncontrolled variable you hypothesize that exists within the vaccinated community that has resulted in this deceptive data? I'd think ...

Have you considered you might have a problem with confirmation bias here, considering you call into question basic statistical methodologies when eval...

You are 29.2 times more likely to be hospitalized if you contract Covid if you're not vaccinated. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e5.htm?...
