There are a lot of reasons to doubt the validity of the universe, but the majority of us hold on to its validity. What is the reason we hold onto the ...

All we can do is 'hold on' to what we are apart of. That which we are 'holding on' to is reality.
September 18, 2025 at 15:38
The 'here and now' is majorly abstracted in my opinion. Billions of cars on the roads all rushing off. This itself is creating a flow we are to either...

I think 'real' stands for logical grounding; where something unreal would be like a toon who exists in a toon world where there is no logical groundin...

failing at performing; performing under par. For a group objective or for a personal objective.

A bad for everyone can become contaminate and control the people. Thing is, those people didn't too overly bad to their health otherwise they'd be dea...

Most action is comforted. If you try to trick yourself your mind already knows that you're going to try trick yourself. For this reason time can be at...
September 09, 2025 at 08:43
yes I agree. It is the thing connecting all the frames together and guiding them all to one another.
September 09, 2025 at 08:41
it's not necessarily performing bad if you aimed to trick people into buying a false cure. If he had performed bad in that very endeavour he would hav...

if they were to perform bad in any of those endeavours, they would have produced nothing or the opposite.
September 08, 2025 at 22:40
but any joy they got during that vast age was a part of something good they did. If the people can be conned, perhaps there's good in that.
September 08, 2025 at 21:38
Good is stand alone. Morality is about balance with good performing. You make a product look good to sell it. You keep in good health to survive. You ...
September 08, 2025 at 21:22
Good brings about fortune. If you were never good, and were always bad, you wouldn't make any money. Evil is purposely doing bad, and again, requires ...

it wouldn't be so petty. It would be more advanced. There would be laws, there would be police or mercenaries enforcing the law. Schools would be more...
September 08, 2025 at 08:08
To add to the original post. Morality isn't about good and evil, it's about good and bad. Evil is not with good in morality, good is with bad. Evil is...

God is a con in my opinion, it completely abstracts what good means. I don't like when people conflate morality with God-ism--- morality is a nice cle...

It all creates a field. Volcano. Voila can oh?!... Oh, Homer Simpson, DOH. Semantics, semi and ticks. Semi and tics. Say my antics. There are some mal...

No. We're extremely evil to the Earth, and the Earth isn't just a planet to us. It's our home, in multiple senses, such as it's also a mental foundati...
August 21, 2025 at 19:44
Think about taxes. How it's often debated whether the poor should suffer or the middle and higher class should make a sacrifice. There should be no su...
August 21, 2025 at 18:49
it is impractical for society but necessary, and it isn't impossible, it's just energy consuming. It would be like going through a drug comedown, such...
August 21, 2025 at 18:46
No, that's just one example of Evil and not all examples. Evil is something against the living standards of a particular locale, and it's specifically...

If the NPC hypothesis is true, it's likely a lot of reality is fake, and it would also point towards solipsism(one person in the midst of NPCs and a v...

there's something fundamental about the way seeds work, that could propagate without a conscious mind. Seeds are a true concept, their concept is stan...

Teaching by example; putting them in a difficult situation earlier than usual, such as by to operate a small town where they work fields, and run shop...

do the fundamental particles and forces contribute to the higher order of a 'table'? If no, then the forces and particles aren't really doing anything...
August 21, 2025 at 10:42
I suppose it can be left at that--- I'm fine--- worried at best. Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot.
August 21, 2025 at 10:18
be it as it may, it's actually what I first thought.
August 21, 2025 at 10:12
could be that you have a poor mind.
August 21, 2025 at 09:58
that aside, it could also be used to give sense to concrete concepts in nature. Nature - an other that has encapsulated you.
August 21, 2025 at 09:43
The universe also exists as a concept. We can talk about a hypothetical world in a conceptual universe. We can even begin to imagine a conceptual worl...
August 21, 2025 at 09:01
Philosophy is partly about giving sense to concrete concepts in nature. An example, the latest Dimension thread on this forum, where OP tries to make ...

I don't see how eugenics could insult people. It's not that everyone can't reproduce, there's just a program happening where beautiful people are matc...
August 20, 2025 at 06:43
Whether it comes 'prior to' human perception, doesn't make it any more real. If it happened as human perception was introduced, it's the same, the uni...

There's a lot of things wrong with the world, the way beauty is treated is just another one of of those problems. The only answer is there is somethin...

A deformed body can be a great pain; a perfect body is healthy. We desire beauty because it's a sign of good health(the parents had good genetics, the...

Each body part has a function, the mind is all the body's functions online collected into a spirit.
August 19, 2025 at 19:27
Beauty is a sign of good genetics(as if it was a mark of having good genetics). If you think you've seen a beautiful person who has proven that his/he...

Discussions and debates also contribute to teamwork involving a conjecture--- so the more polite we are to each other, the more gets done and the more...
August 19, 2025 at 06:55
When we consider the universe to be real or fake, what do we mean? If it is real, does that mean it is all loaded in at once, in one big containment; ...
August 18, 2025 at 20:32
The senses belong to the brain and the body belongs to the heart, the duality of both creates a spirit and that switches the brain to a conscious-brai...

It makes sense that they are trying to live adequately given the knowledge at their disposal. It doesn't make sense that the same regime is worshipped...

If you were going to be burned alive, is jumping off a building a fair suicide? It seems to me that suicide is only ok if it prevents a life of greate...

Can something be considered beautiful beyond whether some people think it's not because of prevalent high standard? Can good art be reduced to skill-i...

I suggest that we are prevented, by a force of good, from becoming too mad and in control, we cannot throw stars around nor cause a cataclysm to occur...
December 28, 2024 at 10:52
I have a more core view of the term beauty, it is not subjective at all. It is, accurately, the appearance of all. It's not necessarily to be associat...

That even the most maddest minds were captivated by some saintly force.
December 26, 2024 at 16:00
a framework is fine.
December 26, 2024 at 15:59
it is conclusive that God is synonymous with reality because it is an empirical footprint that leaves a trace. The face of reality is not God but it i...
December 26, 2024 at 15:55
There is perhaps a young/long matrix in that, that you would have an inner element of great potential harnessing what you are not.
December 26, 2024 at 15:45
In my opinion, the face of "God", can be warped and have future effect, I believe this understanding of it is important for human prosperity and evolu...
