As to what a justification is, it's simply a reason given as to why an action performed was right or reasonable from the point of view of the person b...

Even despite the inefficiencies of charitable organizations (and possible scams), these "immoral" actions are permissible for a few reasons. 1. Greed ...

I think this is what was trying to say. That A is lying, but doesn’t always lie (because B always lies). A only sometimes lies, and has the capacity t...

If the statement that B sometimes tells the truth could also mean that they always tell the truth (sometimes be a subset of always) then there are mul...

This is a good point. An infinite amount would not limit free will. Free will is only limited if the person does not have complete control over the ch...

A few issues with this. One, if an app such as the oracle were to exist, it would only show possibilities in which the thwarted cannot thwart the futu...

Good point. I tend to agree with this. The determinism argument is significantly less useful as a concept actually utilized than the idea that everyon...

My go-to argument for the free will question is this: Yes, you do have free will. Also yes, your choices are determined by your brain-state and many f...

As to the idea that God gives purpose, this might be true, but if there is a God then I believe (assuming God gives life purpose) that the purpose (ob...

I am religious, but don’t actually believe that this means that a eventually just world is determined even if everything happens for a reason. By my l...

Death is not bad, it’s neutral. What would be bad is either someone dying that has a bad effect on the living, or the way the dead person having exper...

Personally I think atheism is logical but practicing atheism isn’t. Not because it offers the benefits of having believed in a particular religion if ...

Yeah, mostly. There is other stuff in the post, but credence is accurate. Not like the view of one particular unknown probability but how you consider...

The idea of connections making up everything (like some sort of code that determines what particles are where) is attractive to me because every parti...

I do believe in a God, but your point doesn’t hold so much weight because OF COURSE It doesn’t have solar system is unusual. Otherwise, we couldn’t ha...

Pretty close on what I was trying to say. Think of this as more of an add-on, not a correction. It's better to have individual and perfect knowledge o...

Sounds familiar, but no. Probably knew at some point. Is Bayesian Probability where you estimate the probability of a hypothesis being true, or am I j...

Maybe true, but it could also be that most people aren’t interested in the jobs that education helps with attaining, and so for the majority it is not...

totally agree I made the points in the post because I was mostly referring to times when there are an innumerable (not too big, it would just take a l...

I said it was an attempt, not that it was completely successful. Also, teaching someone how to make an app wouldn’t be the same as teaching them how a...

Yeah, pretty much. The idea is that there are more unaccounted possibilities in either a category that is similarly rare, has the same effect, or caus...

While it is true that most things that are taught to students are completely unnecessary for them to know, schools don’t always attempt to teach a stu...

If we have an infinite amount of time ahead of us, I can assume that there is no need to worry or be scared. If we are condemned to have no power duri...

I’ll just give my take on the OP instead of the replies because I don’t have the willpower to read them all. This, to me, holds little weight. Such pr...

I think it is also true that from anyone's perspective, they are at the center of any hypothetical simulation. (Unless you guys experience something v...
