In my opinion noAxioms isn't right but he was better at the time, and Michael makes a good point, but also isn't right. It's my theory it stands incom...

this is completely agreeable, thanks for your wise insight.

your mother said 'Don't be a push-over' - I don't see how that's any different to 'have a little hardness to you.'

'What criterion of value do you measure 'hard' against?' The legitimacy of breaking or being defeated. This would also imply that because we might bre...

Just like to say I find the posters here to be very intellectual and I have learned a lot from reading your posts. My favorite poster is @Michael, ver...

No. You don't learn good and evil through experience, you already know good and evil since birth(and maybe prior). Good and evil are more elements of ...

Thoughts based on feelings about knowledge, to expand on what we already know, and to improve our self control from the wisdom of understanding how to...

Comfort. If the statement is comfortable, leading to progressive thinking on the matter(in that it makes sense and has a whole thought-wave associated...

I don't think so(I don't think it's illegal). It is in effect, browsing and sometimes buying. We are allowed to build ideas and conjectures about what...

It's whether or not it is a simulation at its root you question, I can't tell but we are in an ideal configuration of life where a perfect eclipse occ...

Does that not entail that it is a simulation as well? I rest my case.

how does one moment transition to the next if not by zooming through hyperspace-time?

4D space is easy, it's just the nature of the zoom. As you zoom passed stars in the night sky and realize yourself in whatever juxtaposition you may h...

In short answering that question would be going out of my comfort zone of letting thoughts pop up and acting on them because it was created by you to ...

it's not my sort of question. *Not my sort of question dance* I'm a philosopher, and this is a philosophy forum.

perhaps this is beyond you. And if moral judgement is to be displaced, perhaps you made the decision to be in this state.

a locale in a universe.

Purpose and value. Think of it vice versa. Why is value important? Because it serves our purposes. Why is purpose important? Because it's commands our...

Why can't the term 'simulation' refer to things as it normally would by dictionary definition - why must we assume some solitary metaphysical signific...

It's possible some of your bodies have already run off - and I'm not joking.

Can it ever be disproven, and is it likely, that some may have discovered memories or signs of previous life? Perhaps there is a collection of dreams,...

Yes. Otherwise your body would run off, hypothetically speaking, and in trying to take you for a ride that's infinitely painful, you would probably fl...

Good can be beneficent or maleficent, you can either benefit or hinder yourself using the environment, and you can do the same to others. Good is a te...

well said.

you're the one who made the claim. Of course the burden of proof is on you. I expect we'll have your answer sooner than maybe... Death. Or perhaps you...

agreed. This is miraculous.

I'm warning you, some concepts might be too hard for you to grasp instantly.

like a picture frame.

I like the idea that the Sun is a frame of 4D space, and I wonder if the other stars and their planets are even spawned in for us, whether that's a lo...

Other people's depression, maybe. To wonder at someone who believes in 'nil' in every context can toll or harm mind.

Does the universe have a type? Is 'universe' a prismatic term, in that there can be many different universes. What is the type of our universe?

If the universe is simulated or in part simulated, it doesn't make it any less real, it just means the product of the universe came about through non-...

Purpose, in my opinion, is to attain value, whether that be financial, experiential(in such cases as heavens), or other. It gives us drive because it ...

If you know all physical objects, subjects, and then start pondering on all you know, to find mental information on these things you know, you'll end ...

If you were to ask me, 'which way do I go to reach X?', and I said, 'I know, it's this way and then that way', that would be a case of me knowing obje...

You'll find more luck in death, which I believe is like a male to life where life is the female to death. I would consider death, ultimately perfect f...

I have a question. Is a fact about the universe now, still a fact if we are not part of the universe and have no interaction with it from somewhere ex...

A fact is self-confirming, regardless of whether you've thought about it or not. 'This is text,' is a fact, and it confirms itself.

Don't reckon you know about this do you Jamal?

There's these little bugs made by an enemy of the West that preys on the clean, lands on humans then makes them itch and lots of red marked lines appe...

Yes, there are many. Word Language is a tool - I would say get in touch with your wordless side - but this side is also word-full(wordless; as a direc...

Philosophy is crucial to self-control and yes it helps us to understand things. No, education is not perfect, it is in fact unfairly filtering youth, ...

I have recently changed my view of morality, from good being outright beneficent and evil being outright maleficent to accepting some neutrality betwe...

Absolutely.

For that I would have to know everything so you've kind of set the bar too high.

you wouldn't be able to reason with something specific if you didn't have the relative induction.

yes. I didn't know this term.

well I can't help but agree with that. Thank you. Lol.

Empirical: is it consistent and leaning towards this answer.

Logic is: reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity. A statement is just the conduit of which I expressed a logic. He...
