If one is a physicalist, then metaphysics would in fact be that which physics has yet to explain.

Alright fair enough. Suppose I duct taped someone's mouth shut just to keep him quiet, and then I started watching South Park for a couple of hours an...

Well, it all strikes me as a rationalization to support your personal moral imperative to have as many kids with your wife as possible. It is just as ...

It'd seem then under such logic that abstention would be murder because you're withholding the creation of life. You possess in your hands (so to spea...

So there's a 50/50 chance you'll roll any particular number on a 6 sided die? My guess is you scored less than 50% on your statistic tests 100% of the...

Do you not see the paradox within this sentence? You've arrived at the conclusion that conclusions can't be arrived at. Of what value are any of your ...

A monist must accept a critical distinction between the phenomenal states of experience and the objects of the objective world. How does the cup image...

Then why all the talk about the mind body interaction problem?
September 24, 2017 at 01:34
It's rarely so potent. Usually I just get an eye roll, so imagine my joy at an almost philosophical suicide. It is good to know I have such a poisonou...

Yeah, no one holds the mind and body aren't interrelated. The question is how they are related. Even parallelism posits the mind and body correlate, e...
September 23, 2017 at 13:39
So here's how you started off this thread: Your argument was that since there's always an underlying fulfillment of personal desire by carrying out a ...

September 20, 2017 at 14:35
All this reminded me of the old Celebrity Deathmatch that used to air. They'd make Claymation characters of celebrities and have them fight in gory wr...
September 20, 2017 at 14:31
It would be shocking for sure, and it'd be even more shocking if Trump retweeted it, and it would be cause for alarm if someone of significance create...

I could pretend to be offended at a fabricated golf ball video, but I'm not. I wish I had the sensitivity of a Baden, but, alas, I'm a Hanover. I trul...

It didn't bother me and it's not because you're more civilized than me or more evolved. It didn't bother me because she really wasn't hit with a golf ...
September 20, 2017 at 12:03
My initial objection to your inquiry was that you were searching for a tautology, and here you're just recognizing my objection. The question is: When...
September 20, 2017 at 11:38
There will always be a reason. I want to save someone from a burning house because it will satisfy some desire in me.
September 20, 2017 at 06:35
As I've accused you of a tautology, the disproof would be for you to hypothesize the very example you seek. That is, if you can't imagine a hypothetic...
September 20, 2017 at 05:48
You're creating a tautology here. If I do what I want to, then I'm selfishly doing what I want, even if what I want is to save your life from a burnin...
September 20, 2017 at 04:52
Sure, but they're not what we would consider selfless. If I trip over a wire and save you from electrocution, I did something for you and nothing for ...

It's late and the weight of the cat on my leg keeps me up, and by cat, I mean vaj. Why is her vaj so damn heavy and why must she sleep it on my leg? N...

I don't understand this joke so I'll respond literally. No, a bus isn't a phallic symbol. It's a large vehicle designed for transporting numerous peop...
September 20, 2017 at 04:29
But of course, as this is thematic with your ongoing agenda to advocate some sort of sociopathic ideology/religion you've come upon. How much longer m...

Love is an altruistic act where you put others' interests at or above your own.
September 20, 2017 at 04:07
You don't love me unconditionally?
September 20, 2017 at 04:04
Doing something for the benefit of others is the definition of selflessness, regardless of whether you happen to benefit yourself. Otherwise, you must...

In your book, would you put me in the acknowledgements section?

You're a Humean emotivist of the lowest sort. You've been discovered.
September 19, 2017 at 20:57
His post made no sense, so I wrote one making less sense, which made my post a genius response. If you were even genuiser, you'd write an even less se...

When I awoke at the dentist's office, I awoke face down in the chair. How did he work on my mouth when I was face down? I'm starting to feel cold. Wou...

It was in bad taste because the President should be above childish humor. Of course, had I put the video together, it would be funny because mods are ...

Here's my new writing style. Thoughts? I broke my tooth on a chicken wing Which is what I shall name my next child So I went to the dentist to get a r...

Were you naked? Sometimes that's enough for them to keep people out.
September 19, 2017 at 18:02
Your post elicited in me that obscure feeling of nebulousness that often accompanies an ensuing epiphany of motive-misunderstanding, albeit in the non...
September 19, 2017 at 17:18
Ok, so this is your response to my PM to you a few days ago that you needed to start capitalizing the word "I." Just change your settings to auto-capi...

The joke was funny, and it didn't seem like you got it.
September 19, 2017 at 13:03
Yes, priests and monks work.

It's like you're fishing for an insult from me or something. If you're clinically depressed and that diagnosis was made by someone with greater expert...

I'm saying that if you are disabled, you should receive the benefit of the disability insurance, but I'm also saying that any system that incentivizes...

That weakness shouldn't be a strength is just a way to avoid real life irony. I don't care if you resent it.
September 18, 2017 at 20:00
Well, not everyone can be the Queen of England.
September 18, 2017 at 18:19
I sent you the $3k in your dreams to see what you would do with it. So far, you've done nothing with it, other than to get to wonderin.
September 18, 2017 at 18:17
Everything you said was good but this: Remaining weak shouldn't be a strength.
September 18, 2017 at 05:33
I agree that there are countless legitimate justifications for our rule prohibiting racist posts.
September 17, 2017 at 13:08
The feedback thread is not an area where deleted threads get to be reposted with impunity. I suppose had the complaint been posed in the abstract (as ...
September 17, 2017 at 12:51
John, I deleted your post to me as it was a reiteration of your prior deleted thread. It was non- responsive to my post, which is that racist views ar...
