These seem to be the common talking points of Trump supporters right now. But I would ask Trump supporters to attempt to be fair and balanced about th...
I don't see how one can get from pain to objective morality. Perhaps someone can lay this out in an argument with premises leading to a conclusion. I ...
What makes you think that? From what we can tell, the universe existed long before sentient life or "selves" came into existence. Why would things lik...
I think it comes down to whether you are more justified in believing the world no longer exists when you don't perceive it or if some other explanatio...
The example given is about semantics rather than overcoming Hume's Guillotine. The hit man may glean what the mob boss wants him to do (the ought) fro...
People have often claimed that moral facts exist. Many people certainly believe it. But where is there a solid philosophical or scientific argument pr...
There are 44,000 hours of January 6th video footage. Of course you can find footage that wasn't displayed in the January 6th Committee Hearings. Now, ...
I remember at the time thinking how if the rioters were not predominantly white it would have been more than simply tear gas being shot at them. I was...
I think the nuance here is that guns with the capacity to kill large numbers of people in a very short amount of time are much more readily available ...
I own guns and I've always been a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, but I'm also a Democrat and a liberal, so I think I can see both sides of the argume...
The "Russia Hoax" wasn't proven to be a hoax since the conclusion wasn't that Trump was exonerated by the Mueller Investigation. The conclusion was mo...
One way you can know you're on the wrong side if you're a Trump supporter is that Trump is intimating he will, if he becomes President again, use the ...
The idiots like that Trump is an idiot. He is their Golden Idiot, and they put him on a pedestal. "He is one of us, he is just like us!" they say, "Ex...
You have a point. Fraud, libel and slander are all crimes in my country. Nonetheless, many lie anyway and get away with it protected under the aegis o...
This is why Socrates, as reported by Plato, feared democracy as mob rule. "If you listen to fools, the Mob Rules." -- Black Sabbath Winston Churchill ...
It's hard to put any stock in polls when the election is still nearly a year away. Trump detractors may be clutching their pearls, and Trump supporter...
I think it is human nature that it is difficult to feel empathy in the abstract and distant versus the physical and personal. This high range empathy ...
If you can't establish that they're impossible, then I think that establishes that they are conceivable, if by conceivable we mean things we can imagi...
I think fearlessness refers to an ignorant state akin to foolhardiness. I often think of young people and young animals in this context since they are...
This situation keeps making me think of God ordering the Israelites to kill the Canaanites in the Bible: every man, woman and child, and even the anim...
Science doesn't purse anything. Science is a tool or a method that we use to acquire facts about the world, or perhaps more accurately, is the attempt...
I think it is because philosophy is the attempt to think clearly, not a guarantee to think clearly. When we do philosophy, most of us try to be sincer...
My guess is that everything is going according to Hamas' plan. They knew Israel would react with overwhelming force and hoped that would create a new ...
That's very insightful. This trial gets at Trump for what he fundamentally is, a fraud, who inflates property values to get loans and deflates then wh...
So, are you saying Biden is doing what you want, now, since this is what Trump was doing? But you're still not happy because there is no liberal outra...
Here, here! I try to do that. I often try to think of what the world would have to be like if my Trump supporting friends are right and I am wrong. Fo...
What is it like when a Trump supporter has this thought: "What if Trump brought all of this on himself?" The question must present itself, at least oc...
I like presidents who didn't pretend to have bone spurs to get out military service. Or maybe he didn't pretend! Maybe, just maybe, the bone spurs mag...
I'm still not clear on what the impeachment inquiry is about. What is the impeachable offense Joe Biden is being investigated for? Is it bribery? If s...
Call me a skeptic, but it seems like 'color-blindness' was only claimed as a virtue by white guys when they wanted to push back on affirmative action,...
The incompetent wing of the GOP is trying to shut down the government and run an 'investigation' on impeaching Biden that will go nowhere. Their goal ...
I think things only have meaning when they are signs, symbols, or referents for something else. So, the word 'tree' has meaning because it points to t...
Yes, that's exactly what he's been doing for decades. And he has the gall to say he's legally covered by what he calls the "worthless clause" which es...
A "worthless clause." Now I've heard everything. What an appropriate name, though, for any kind of business dealings with a guy like Trump! "You can't...
Something I'll add is that a list of bullet points isn't the same thing as a list of arguments with premises leading to conclusions. A mere list of po...
Suffering might be the result of being able to form expectations that don't align with reality, which is unavoidable for beings who are not omniscient...
Just for fun, even though I'm an atheist, I'm going to play devil's advocate and argue against these ten points, mainly from the point of view of a Ch...
I've often heard people claim that Trump won the 2020 election or that the election was rigged against him, but I never hear any of the details that c...
We all know what happened at this point, but a few people are still in denial. Trump had a pattern of behavior dating back to the 2016 Iowa primary an...
But aren't we talking about lawyers Trump hired long before he was indicted for anything? The context is that Trump was hiring lawyers to advise him a...
What does a slogan like "Trump or Death" even mean? A slogan like "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" is pretty straightforward and means without certa...
Some of the rhetoric I see related to Trump is disturbing. I saw a banner unfurled at a Yankees game that said "Trump or Death" with the dates 1776 an...
Go ahead and investigate the Bidens. Let the truth come out, I say! If anything is being hidden or lied about, reveal it to the world. Just make sure ...
I feel like I'm watching a lackluster Kevin McCarthy with his arm twisted behind his back by the Freedom Caucus unenthusiastically going through the m...
I think it's important in a democratic environment to keep the discussion going, to hear out the other side, and respond to them. It seems to me that ...
Why did Trump need to pressure Raffensperger find fraudulent votes if he already had evidence that there were fraudulent votes? Why not just present t...
