Yes very odd. Sometimes philosophy asks odd questions like that … what is the meaning of life…is that more odd ? Sometimes the way we frame our questi...

Well good and evil does exist if you look at the world around you or throughout history, plenty examples of good or evil there You said let’s assume g...

I would say that good and evil exist in the world. E.g. Hitler was evil, wars are evil as they cause human suffering etc. The good then are societies ...

Hi ClayG, It’s a little off putting to read blurbs of text like that without any paragraphs …drove me to go to other topics. Some teachings knowledge ...

Why do you write like that ? It’s confusing the crap out of me :lol:

Must be a pretty big cell then

Can I get a please?

A typo ? So what did you mean to spell then chubby fingers :lol:

What?

What does that mean ?

Yes it’s affects on the subject are pain although the subject might say the pain is theoretical.

The eternal unchanging unmoved mover exists in isolation to what it affects. The moth etc. Did Aristotle not conceptualise it in that way ?

What warrants your assumption that the moth is in the same energy less environment as the darkness. Aristotle separates the two.

@"180 Proof"Let me respond by modifying the moths Nature to instead of being drawn to light they are drawn to darkness which needs no power source.

Nope I really did ask myself should I create this topic or not. You are querying my knowledge and I’m saying I did KNOW I had a choice. Rationalisatio...

The other analogy being that of moths to a light Moths being moved by the unmoved mover (the lightbulb) do not affect its eternal unchanging nature of...

Seems you need me to elaborate. Before creating the topic I asked myself should I bother? This being a free will topic I realised, anticipated and res...

Because I’m a thinking rational and lazy creature and the thought of not bothering also occurred to me. Yet here we are

I actually got it now, well at least I think I do anyway. Btw please note I still haven’t read any of the links above I shall outline my own speculati...

Yup the problem is the quantity of the milk reduces because of the thirsty feline. Hence the problem with eternal unchanging nature of such a being. P...

You don’t believe in heroes then ? They’re not just in movies you know.

But what about the heroism that ultimately saved the surviving folk ? Don’t you see any nobility in that? That gives meaning, despite the tyranny of e...

I guess to a lemon the concept of lemonade is meaningless

Keep existing Nihilists I say…at least they’re not as miserable as the antinatalists

They don’t jump off bridges because that kinda hurts, a lot! So despite there being no meaning they carry on existing plus they don’t wanna piss of th...

I think it’s fascinating why people wish to be deceived by macigians. The mystery of how it’s done always appeals and makes us think, stretching our i...

But can you play the piano afterwards?

Hopefully someone with links will come along…I don’t know where to start with him.

Can you please describe a moral end is? Why not simply describe it as a state of affairs rather than “moral state of affairs” (or moral ends as you pu...

Simply stated your question is do the ends justify the means. I thought you meant do two wrongs make a right.

What if you were doing the deed for recreational purposes and the new born was unintended…what then ? Abortion ?

@"unenlightened"On the face of vegetarian objection to breaking an egg it is accepted that there’s nothing wrong with breaking an egg. Nor is there to...

So what’s the ethical or moral consideration of breaking a bloody egg ? Are you a vegetarian? Egg murdering omelette making criminal!!! Arrest him!

Add decentralisation to that as well.

Was Aristotle’s mistake that he just used to many words to describe/define God? Personally I would have gone with just the Eternal…but then again Aris...

Power of course is neither good nor bad it’s how it’s used. It can be used to suppress our liberties as tyrants do, but in that hands of a good and ju...

Conspiracy theories are also very interesting and appeals to our critical thinking aspect of our brain whilst not fully utilising facts. It’s simple m...

Ah, I need to start questioning some of the quotes attributed to Rihanna, I think I saw a legitimate Gandhi quote attributed to Justin Beiber the othe...

That’s not bogus at all. To me he’s expressing the dichotomy between the believer and non-believer.

Please remember @"Jamal" that jealousy and envy are a capitalists dream. As for wishful thinking magical thinking it’s part of being a child, an adult...

For me it’s evident that it all boils down to happiness and being content with our lot. It’s funny I googled some meditation ideas and was channeled t...

Well I choose the bitchery of course, assuming of course that there are bitches. Whoo hoo! Eternal life!!

Tell me more, who prevailed from your list of protagonists/antagonists ? How did it unfold ?

Why? Do you think it’s childish ? Grow up!

Let’s ignore the brain in VAT for a moment as the can of worms you’ve opened with solipsism is enough to deal with for now. One thing at a time dear, ...

in that case you do not dismiss the “possibility” of non-physical eternal life. If you do dismiss it then on what grounds, sir?

The difference is that I state it in its affirmative…I wanna live forever. It’s just if you’re gonna dream, dream big right …? And yet hope has no pla...

Never claimed that. Even reincarnation gets tedious after a while. Your drop in the ocean however is apt and along my lines of metaphysic.
