I didn't proselytise. I responded to what you said. The word proselytise means "to induce someone to convert to one's faith" - that clearly is not wha...

How is doing what I like the same as justice? I recommend that you read: https://www.evilbible.com and watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk3V0Qi8...

Yes, I am also agnostic about the Simulation Hypothesis as it is not possible to test this hypothesis.

:lol:

What's wrong with organisms being nonconsumers? Surely, it is better to be able to live without consuming any air, water, food, sunlight, etc.? The Na...

I agree.

I am an agnostic as I can't know whether God or Gods exist or not.

I have granted your wish! I have edited the original post to include a poll.

I Did you not read about all the design flaws in organisms and the extinction of 99.9% of all the species to exist on Earth so far? Why would all-know...

I disagree. When a gene is copied correctly, there is no mistake. When it is copied incorrectly, there is a mistake.

I agree. The point I am making is that we are not intelligently designed by an all-knowing and all-powerful God or Gods.

No, it doesn't imply anything. It simply means that a sequence such as ATCG was copied by mistake as ACCG or ATTG, etc.

Yes, there can be mistakes when copying genes. When a gene is copied correctly, there is no mistake. When it is copied incorrectly, there is a mistake...

It's great that you have found Kiva. We should certainly use contraceptives to keep our population at an optimum level for the Earth. I am not suggest...

It's not faith - just circumstances. No apology is needed. I don't have a religious phobia. Every species came into existence as a result of genetic m...

Sounds like faith, rather than fact. How can the abundance of suffering, inequality, injustice, and death in the world be considered just? I think all...

Thank you for explaining. I agree.

What divine justice? How do you know that there is a "divine justice"? What about everything that has ever happened is just?

I think the ever-changing present moment is a subjective reality because this is what we experience, nanosecond by nanosecond. How can this be objecti...

I agree.

At the moment, private ownership exists. I agree that if no one owned anything, no one would be in a position to share anything. I don't think those w...

Good ideas in principle, but in practice, these are difficult. I have seen much corruption that increases suffering, inequality, injustice, and death ...

I see your points. How do we ensure those who need the medical or psychological treatments get them? How do we distribute resources evenly amid so muc...

Thank you for the link to the interesting article.

I am sorry to hear that.

Thank you for your reply. Which society had the above rule?

I understand. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Why would an Artificial General Intelligence care about living things?

Most of the humans who are currently alive are doing much better in terms of standards of living than most of the humans who were alive 10,000 or 5,00...

You keep ignoring my points. My points remain true even if you keep ignoring them instead of acknowledging them.

I agree.

Most of the humans who are currently alive are doing much better in terms of standards of living than most of the humans who were alive 10,000 or 5,00...

I can only ask people to share. I realise that those who have may not want to share with those who do not have. I am not going to do anything to those...

I don't live with my parents.

I will support it. I will give up my land to gain an equal share of the 15.77 billion acres of habitable land divided by 8.1 billion humans currently ...

We could calculate the total habitable land area on Earth and divide it by the number of humans and give each one an equal share of the habitable land...

I agree.

Yes, by "money" I mean "currency". Is there a difference between money and currency? English is my second language so I may have missed any nuance bet...

Please explain why sharing wouldn't work everywhere in the universe.

Humans didn't always have money. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_money Humans have been around 200,000 years and money has been ar...

Surely, sharing would work everywhere?

Thank you for your reply. I support free education. In fact, I support free everything. Let's ban money and let's ban private ownership. Let's have co...

We have indeed veered off-topic. So, I have created this new thread: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15216/how-can-we-reduce-suffering-inequ...

I agree. We as a species spend much more on weapons than we do on charities.

Not convinced. Time doesn't exist on its own. It exists as spacetime.

If we are so good at saving people from famine and war why have so many people died from famines and wars? Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

How is it negative?

I agree that I can measure how much time it takes to do something but how is that negative? 10 seconds is just an amount of time.
