Hanover

I suppose because the god of evolution was imperfect and some of our attributes are not at all beneficial, whether that be depression, schizophrenia, ...

Spell check changed it to ruminate from defecate. Same opinion?

Sometimes, when perfectfully good words are assembled into a sentence of bullshit, the sum of the parts is worth less than the individual, seperate pa...

Stare at the ceiling and ruminate upon those critical lifetime decisions and ask yourself what might have been had you only done otherwise. Finally dr...

You're referencing show tunes. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.

The paradox of free will is its ultimate incoherence, but also its necessity in making the world coherent. It is incoherent because it seems not to be...

Uhh, really? The reason that livers don't decide to give up but people do is because livers lack the ability to decide.

What I just said. Hanover.

Humans are a part of nature and therefore zoos are natural, which is just my roundabout way of saying we all live in a fucking zoo.

Thank you for the link.

I want a thread about stuff I should read.

Can philosophers at least find the emotion to get successfully trolled? I mean some guy just said we're all a monumental waste of time and all he coul...

I don't like the video. What I like is when people write stuff. It's sort of like when I go to a news site and I have to watch the newscaster tell me ...

You ask two questions: (1) Should we always forego all pleasantries and just get down to business, and (2) should you have just kissed her? The answer...

I don't understand your question then. If you're hypothesizing that there can be a mind that has infinite comprehension, then it's logically entailed ...

Since it seems obvious that a five year old cannot comprehend the simplest of things (like how a light bulb works) and many fairly intelligent people ...

Asking what the meaning of life is asks what its ultimate purpose is, and the answer will be difficult to accept if one denies the existence of any hi...

There's a great big world filled with suffering, sadness, pain, and need, and you sit idly by connected to a cold machine pushing a Sisyphus button wi...

I didn't pay attention to which forum you posted in, but if this is the standardless section, I get to post whatever I want too. BAM!

The problem with this thread is your attempt to impose standards inconsistent with this forum, namely that you're to ignore all prior academic efforts...

I actually do believe that alcohol has had a significant evolutionary impact on human behavior. Considering it (all joking aside) does make people les...

"Eugenics" as a term has been used to describe societally enforced gene pools as well as things as simple as prenatal care. https://en.m.wikipedia.org...

You pick the design, from hair color, to sexual preference, to intelligence level, to shoe size.

Your objections apply to forced eugenics, but are you allowing for the right to personally choose the characteristics of your own designer baby?

The third tablet was created by Satan, and as it ascended the heavens, it predictably burned, thus explaining the current ban of such tablet devices o...

You won't be anywhere near the pearly gates to see the show.

The missing tablet was just some shit God scribbled down, like directions to Mt. Sinai and a shopping list. He was supposed to buy Ms. God some angel ...

I'd pray for a light dusting if I were roofing. Wosret would die within minutes of standing on a roof in the hot Georgia sun. He'd die because he's a ...

Other little known fact: There was originally only one tablet, but since God was giving it away for free, the Jews asked for two.

Racial passive? Speak English, not Geekish.

Such a tired old plot, played out countless times in novel after novel. Man survives genocide, man stabs wife's mom's boyfriend, man avoids alimony pa...

I am, but it only has immune system suppressant properties and not the hallucinogenic properties needed to motivate my post.

Maybe if you didn't do bullshit work and actually nailed down the shingles, your slack ass face wouldn't get cut. It's not a race to get done. There a...

I most certainly have my aches and pains, but they remind me of what matters and of the sacred, as opposed to you godless ones who only gripe of the b...

No, I don't have lupus. That's a chick disease. I suffer from cockus gigantus and I need the meds to fit into my fabulous sleak spandex unitard bitch....

Maybe you're a lesbian. Have you thought of that? I mean with all this fluidity, it would seem terribly discriminatory to prohibit lesbianism from any...

Let me add something to this conversation other than to share the platitude that everyone should do that which makes him/her happy and we should butt ...

That response actually guilted me.

I thought they were deleted because it was bad poetry. I suppose it's theoretically possible that a useful response could be written in poetic form, i...

Fair enough. I just wonder if it's either, though. I find this more a theological discussion than a philosophy of religion discussion. Assuming I come...

Interesting aside.

I wish I could have back the two minutes of my life that I lost reading that.

You don't need such extravagance. Just get a stool. /uploads/files/n8/y5g10355byhnjalc.png

How is any of this philosophy?

The problem with this solution is that all people generally know why they have raised their hand or generally performed any act. They did it because t...

Not so much. Descartes first conclusion was exactly what you're getting at, which is all that he could know was that he was a thinking thing, which is...

I understand I wouldn't know I were a brain in a vat, but such is always the case. Even as I stood there deciding to become a brain in the vat, logic ...

If I'm a brain in a vat it matters because it requires a higher power, an evil or benevolent genius brain fucking me. It makes me religious and shit.

I'm the master of disaster for 2 reasons. 1. It rhymes and 2. take that bitch!
