You could not be more wrong. It's all about Point of View.

He did not deny it. He defined it and recognised its limitations. He rightly asserted that empiricism was inductive, and that induction was really abo...

No - I'm talking about the universe. Not just a few particles, or your hopeless anthropomorphic reductionism. Man is the crown of his own imagination.

To call that a discussion is an abuse of words. As for what I think of it; it is as misguided and shows as much ignorance as any number of other creat...

I'm talking about the universe, not the activities of a few smart monkeys.

LOL! How much of it have you even read?

You have a choice. Either take the word of a bunch of half illiterate post neolithic goat herders and their myths, or look at the world as we know it....

If you are asking is there a god, then ask that! Otherwise you seem to have your question backwards. You cannot understand the universe by imposing a ...

The human spirit is pathetic, mean, and spiteful. Driving to work this morning I saw two old dogs being taken for a walk from the back of a car. They ...

There is no doubt that you owe everything you are to your brain. It's the only organ you cannot live without. I like to think of my "mind" as what the...

Philosophers have a way of distilling from reality and praxis, ideals. Such is the case with what we like to call 'rationality', which is not actually...

Just answer the question and stop being such a queen.

You said "no"; "no" to WHAT?

You mean in Holland you get work as a lawyer regardless of your ability?

This has no bearing on the thread. If you can't see 'why I don't get it", I think the fault lies with you, ot me. I mean really what the fuck are you ...

Clearly being able to attract those hours to fall into your lap relates to people's perception of you as a lawyer?

It is no wonder you are confused. The way you ask the questions already has intelligent design locked in as an assumption. Adding an intelligent desig...

That is a matter for the employer and the market. The assumption does not have to have a bearing; the performance which is usually better due to exper...

Bullshit usually does that.

But if you think it has to be addressed, despite the reasons, then that would make you the sexist. Let's say there are non sexist reason (say a gap in...

I don't think the pay gap stats really deal with the issues. There is a gap, but I do not think most of it is because women are women or men are men, ...

I think you would be less confused about things if you were to drop your assumption of some kind of meta-meaning to the universe which crept into your...

If I attack this Forum, as a Forum, then I am going to compromise the activities of this Forum. Soros is attacking Social Media for the things they do...

This explains much about you.

Here's one thing you seem to get right.

You don't know what you are talking about.

ROTFLMFHO

This proves my point, not yours. I think you might be a waste of time.

With a blunt spoon I can remove your ability to recognise your own mother. With a short swipe I can remove your ability to either read or speak.

You can cut off your legs, arms; remove various parts of the body such as the spleen and kidneys; several feet of intestine; you can even gat a machin...

If you say he attacks Social Media companies, but is not attacking Social Media - you are just being silly.

I did not say he want to give more power to anyone but himself. He rails against Social Media by attacking social media companies - quite obviously. H...

Time started when humans began to count it. And it was the elites that imposed time on the masses.

Soros is just jealous. He's no interest in preserving the newly found rights of you and I to debate right here and now on this page. Soros' mantra is ...

ROTFLMFHO.

I don't give a rat's arse about Soros' ancestry. You might want to get your head out of your arse and smell the coffee.

Cui Bono? Soros just wants to have control back. This is a dangerous myth. Google are not making you behave differently. The Internet is providing a p...

It's far more true of Main stream Media. And since MSM have always offered fewer choices, it has been far more damaging to democracy. Soros and his il...

One needs a heart to live and pump blood. It's got bugger all to do with being good, you still need a brain for that too.

You are blaming the vehicle, when you ought to be focusing on the driver. If you decide to drive off a cliff it is not the fault of the vehicle. A com...

Reincarnation is only a side issue. Buddha had some sense to talk. The after life shit is still irrelevant. Even if it is true, since you don't rememb...

you tend to see things in black and white. God /no god. You have made an assumption to associate me with Krauss as we are both atheists. Yet, as I hav...

That's because you have a very naive view of the world.

You need to take each person as they come, and ignore the bullshit about karma and reincarnation: there is no universal justice. Shit happens; then yo...

Krauss is not very bright. Although all knowledge is thoroughly derived from experience; that's not the same thing as saying everything is empirical. ...

This is a bit like complaining," I thought we were discussion bendy yellow soft fruit; not taking about bananas."

Duh! You mean like anxiety??? FFS

The brain is the source of all experience. Although some hormones are generated in other parts of the body the brain is where anxiety happens. You can...
