Both are just as likely to break free. Despite the conditions inside, another factor such as curiosity will enter the equation. The question should no...

Hegel has his own way of defining/ conceptualizing objectivity. I'm not sure Hegel's definition of objectivity is sound, but he was before structurali...

Certainly if you look at some of the premises of both evolution and humanism you will find contradictory ones as you have. But I dont think the two te...

Hypothetically the further one moves towards individual in religious belief the closer it gets to madness. In the case of the Pope or King/Queen of En...

I should clarify my final statement that death in this case will most likely occur as an anomie. The eiron will become distanced from society, rejecte...

Suggestion reminds me of ironic process theory that to try to suppress thoughts makes them more likely to occur. If you're trying not to think its bes...

I hope youre saying that ironically because most sarcasm is used in a condescending way. Or to put it another way: Oh I agree completely sarcasm is ne...

Irony is an important code. It can be used to hide the intended meaning especially in times of limited speech. But I find anything can be read ironica...

actually I think what people see as ironic is one of the important things about it. Irony exists as kind of an argument and to acknowledge it accepts ...

So you see the irony in the state collecting sin taxes. The state is supposed to uphold virtues on society but they profit off of sin. I see it as onl...

I have mixed feelings about it. Regarding the previous point I made, I think objective facts are good for science, but society should be governed by s...

In my opinion transgenderism falls under irony. It defies our objective understanding of the world, and is a phenomenon of indirect realism. That the ...

Trying to remember history class from highschool, but I think the machines the original Luddites destroyed (led by Ned Ludd) were taking away their li...

My previous response was in reference to your mention of the male stereotype of masculinity and what it means to be a man. Individuality and masculini...

I got in trouble for using a bad word in one of my posts. I am not against lgtbq but I used a derogatory word in my post. It is a fascinating word to ...

There are questions. How can we know anything about death when life is a mystery. I contemplate consciousness and reason the consciousness I experienc...

In this post I talked about deterministic activities like following a routine or plan as being necessary proof of free will.

Interesting take on defying programming. Definitely on topic as it is about the ironic nature of freedom being its opposite. Freedom is as you say hav...

Well as I said determinism and free will are confounded with daily activities that are deterministic or free. Doing the routine which is deterministic...

It's deterministic because the player does it predictably. If a person was unable to do things in a predictable way because they had no control over t...

All you're saying is it is wrong to bring an innocent person into the world if they are going to be harmed at all. They will definitely be harmed at l...

That is the same thing in different words

I dont think it's a new argument to not bring an innocent person into a cruel world. It's actually a very basic consideration that most people who hav...

There is no likelihood for 'you' to be born. You are simply 1:total humans. Your subjectivity is not probabilistic, it is like any other subjectivity ...

In my opinion truth or effects do not effect how philosophy is evaluated. If so Kant wouldn't be regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of all t...

Individual. Selfishness is an individualistic trait, objectivity is against the individual perspective (hence Rands new revolutionary Objectivism), su...

You're stipulating that death is harmful and equivocating the instant of death with postmortem. Your stated intent to determine through discussion whi...

Obviously a big topic of epistemology, but my short note on the topic related to your allusion to postmodern is that pomo social construction which is...

The problem is that you use the term postmordem. I have provided arguments about possible postmordem harm, but the conventional understanding is there...

There are postmortem harms obviously, but not to the individual who dies. The death of QE2 which just happened might actually do irreparable harm to t...

P1 If it isn't necessary to believe God exists, God will not prove he exists. P2 God has not proven he exists P3 It is not necessary to believe God ex...

Seems ironic theres over 60 pages of statements about the truth of statements and the truth about them is still in question.

I agree with the second statement. Intelligence is a an ideal that trumps faith, whereas faith is an ideal or supposed virtue that shuns intelligence....

I'm feeling kind of sorry for wading into this one. All I know about this topic is that I know nothing.

Jesus is known through his apostles. This is well known. When I say people follow Jesus as leader I refer to this well known and accepted fact. Degree...

Jesus, by degrees of separation, is the moral leader of about a billion adherents worldwide. Degrees of separation are to be expected from someone who...

There is probably something simulation-like about creation. I don't prescribe to the computer simulation hypothesis, or that we are ideas in gods mind...

Interesting discussion of rationality/free will. I'm not sure rationality is really an important mechanism in regards to free will. I get the point th...

He is a fourth more reasonable option: leader. A religious prophet doesn't necessarily have to be a liar, or lunatic or a lord (whatever that is). He ...

If I nap during the day it is very likely I get lucid dreams. In those dreams I can manifest what I want usually, but there does seem to be a degree o...

I agree with your sentiment. That is a fundamental irony that even purely objective truths are subjective. It is an irony that becomes more pronounced...

Not a bump, but just wanted to apologize to anyone who may have read what I had written that is now deleted.

Techno society and shamanistic society worship such diametrically opposed things that it would be almost impossible to get a mass movement of people t...

Same sex marriage and other lgtbq issues are about how people make moral decisions. A big topic obviously, but I simplify it as two different common s...

I suppose I do agree with that statement, as reality is not one or the other of the world or the mind. The extreme of reality being the mind is solips...

There would be no irony if we could see every possible detail and outcome of everything and anything at any time. This inability to expect is basicall...

I think opaque is an apt word to use. Irony is the state of human consciousness for the very reason that what is expected is not the ironic thing. But...

I passionately disagree with the belief irony is a property of language. It certainly has been interpreted that way especially in 19th? century german...

This seems to be a sticking point: relationship between ideas and reality. I seem to think reality is the relational nature of the world, epitomized b...

I think feminism is a fine topic to discuss, but if you have hang-ups about it I would suggest reconciling it. Feminism of all stripes posit the exist...
