Truth Seeker

I agree that the USA is hardly a benchmark for the form of government. I think the Earth should be one egalitarian country where everyone's Human Righ...

To start with, please post a video of yourself changing colour like chameleons.

Isn't democracy just majority rule where the 51% takes away the rights of the 49%? Besides, gerrymandering can make sure that even the minority takes ...

If we had free will, we would be culpable, but we don't have free will, so we are not culpable. If the compatibilists are right, we could have limited...

I agree that concepts can be known with100% certainty.

We already agreed that randomness does not add culpability. True randomness exists only at the quantum scale. True randomness does not exist at the ma...

LOL. You are great at lying. I would love to see you prove your claims with evidence.

You are lying. I have experienced suffering myself and have witnessed the suffering of others. Although I have not yet died, I will. You will, too.

I have seen how a zygote is formed and how it develops. That's my evidence. A zygote does not create itself.

You have provided no evidence for your claims. For me, the arbiter of truth is evidence. If you are truly all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful wh...

If I were all-knowing and all-powerful, I would have prevented the removal of my omniscience and omnipotence by you or anyone else!

I have seen no evidence that supports your claim that we are self-movers. I have seen evidence which supports my position that we are not self-movers....

I understand what you said but the problem is that we are not self-movers. We don't choose to come into existence. We don't choose our genes, the envi...

If you had done the tasks on the list, I would be all-loving, all-knowing and all-powerful. While I am all-loving, I am definitely not all-knowing and...

Not done!

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed reply. My definition of free will is a will that is free from determinants and constraints. To prove me wro...

"If hard determinism is true, then no one is morally culpable. How do we figure out whether or not hard determinism is true?" Here is the definition o...

Who has free will? Aren't all living things prisoners of causality?

In "Determined: Life Without Free Will" by Robert M Sapolsky he presents evidence which supports the idea that criminals are damaged and in need of re...

As a concept, yes, I am.

I don't think randomness adds culpability. I don't think our choices are random. I think our choices are determined and constrained by our genes, envi...

I don't know of any alternative to hard determinism that is evidence-based. I am aware that religious people believe that people have free will due to...

Thank you for explaining the context. I would never be a judge because I have no idea how to work out who is morally culpable.

That's interesting. I am sorry that I didn't think of "None of the above" as one of the options. Why didn't I think of that? Is it my fault? Is it ine...

If hard determinism is true, then everything that happens, happens inevitably and no one has moral culpability. This is what I think but I can't prove...

What are the implications of hard determinism?

I agree with you.

I will do my best to clarify what I mean by actual culpability. If X murders Y, the legal system will hold him/her culpable. However, if hard determin...

I like your distinction between internal and external culpability. What I am asking about is actual culpability. Is anyone actually culpable for anyth...

I am so sorry that Michael and Ann were hanged. I think that it was wrong to do that to them. How would we work out to what degree who is culpable?

I agree with you. Is determinism true? How can we know for sure?

I am not talking about assigning moral culpability. I am talking about actual moral culpability. Is anyone actually morally culpable? Do you understan...

What fascinating thoughts you have!

I see your point. One would think that the parent would make sure that the clerk types in the details accurately.

I can be certain about my date and place of birth from my birth certificate. It's a legal document that requires the signing off by the parent and the...

I am not disputing what you said. There are lots of examples of things I know e.g. I know my name, date of birth, place of birth, which school I went ...

I am suffering from depression and CPTSD so reading is hard. Understanding abstruse philosophical articles is impossible in my current mental state.

I think we know trillions of things with certainty. For example, I know that the English word "sky" is spelt "sky".

Thank you for your reply. I agree.

That's fascinating. Thank you.

Thank you for your advice. You didn't answer my questions about your worldview. Why is that?

I know trillions of things. So do others. Just because you claim that one cannot know anything it does not make it true.

My worldview is evidence-based. If I become aware of incontrovertible evidence for the existence of souls and gods, I will stop being an agnostic athe...

It's not just Hinduism that could be true. All religions and the worldviews they offer could be true. I am an agnostic atheist because the evidence do...

Your worldview is esoteric and your evidence is not evidence but faith.

I disagree. Pantheism has no evidence to support it.

I agree.

Thank you.

I agree.

I agree.
