WTF are you talking about? Have you lost the plot? I do not feel anger at other people. I can get bored with people, find them irritating. But these a...

You have no evidence here that Hegel or any one of your list of thinkers (presumably pulled out of the Table of Contents of "The Ladybird's Book of Cl...

Predictable; caused. Deterministic. What is your problem?
January 19, 2018 at 20:42
This is utter nonsense. It's nonsense for the simple fact that it is false. But more ridiculous in that your use of this claim is offered in some sort...

For some it can take a week to cover a mile.
January 18, 2018 at 20:31
I'm sorry to have to inform you but it does imply that. Every day to go and expect your car to start you are relying on determinism. And if he fails t...
January 18, 2018 at 20:29
The fact of determinism is knowledge. Knowledge is contingent on evidence; in this case inductive evidence. When you come up with some inductive infor...

Quantum indeterminism, which you do not understand relies on a deterministic universe too. Quantum phenomena are predictably unpredictable; like the f...

Obviously she was deliberately deceiving. She did not have a genuine reason to identify in that way. That does not change to fact. On a side note I th...

No Kant's work remains a good body of theory. Hegel is regarded as a mystic. Every without Kant, what I said remains a good idea since the Idea that K...

You believe magic, I get it. But how do you think it works?
January 18, 2018 at 09:04
Nope. I do not have to hold a belief for determinism to be true. I just have to wake up every morning and note that the sun has not turned into a melo...

Bahman's caricature dovetails fully with to banal and impracticable libertarian idea. But the way you constructed your post, was not incompatible with...

How many white women do you know calling themselves black? If she feels that way they yes, you would probably be doing her violence.
January 17, 2018 at 22:02
It is exactly that offered by compatibilists, except that the emphasis is different. To compatibilism free will is the ability to act determinedly in ...
January 17, 2018 at 21:42
Obviously free will is nonsense. I thank god that all my decision making is determined by me; my motivation; my learning; my experience and my situati...
January 17, 2018 at 21:36
People like to be called by the thing they like to self identify by. Anything else is violence.
January 17, 2018 at 21:31
You did not even begin to answer my question. And you seem to be confusing Relativity with QM. I shall not hold my breath. LOL
January 17, 2018 at 21:28
There's no such thing as magic.
January 17, 2018 at 21:27
Determinism is a fact of the universe it does not have an opinion. It's true whether you believe it or not.
January 17, 2018 at 21:26
Really?? LOL! Hardly makes him a fucking genius. Spell Rhinoceros!! Fuck!
January 17, 2018 at 18:56
If it were not for determinism there would be no science at all, only magic.
January 17, 2018 at 18:53
No. All choices are determined too. There is no way the brain is outside reality. The point I was making is that despite determinism the future is unk...
January 17, 2018 at 18:53
How so?
January 17, 2018 at 18:52
This implies fatalism which is not true. Nothing is 'already' determined in the sense it is know. Things are determined by antecedent conditions. That...

You've shot yourself in the foot already.
January 17, 2018 at 17:32
Am I joking when I think there is a difference between belief and thinking , Dah no. You can believe without thinking. You can think about something w...

I prefer to think that altruistic acts are acts that work to the advantage of one's chosen group; be that friends, family, country, race, nation, spec...
January 17, 2018 at 08:40
Thus you invalidate your putative evolution of query! You might as well ask "which item is food" and put THAT to the top of the list. This ought to ma...

Where light? OR Where food? comes before "What" since we pretty much know what food is. When primitive tube animals sought out food, they ingested stu...
January 16, 2018 at 17:15
What do you really think this means?
January 16, 2018 at 17:05
He THINKS that belief should be abolished - there is a difference.
January 16, 2018 at 13:35
You need a miracle to understand what anyone says. But keep trying.
January 16, 2018 at 13:33
You'd need a miracle to believe that nonsense
January 15, 2018 at 23:39
Omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence are self refuting.

Yes, we should read into that that Trump is a dick head.

Guilt is a choice. You are just beating yourself up, for no reason.
January 15, 2018 at 21:05
No such thing surely? You are just bullshitting. I asked you to show such a thing from the 1930s and you have failed.
January 15, 2018 at 21:04
It's called having an opinion.
January 14, 2018 at 14:10
If the economy were dynamic enough and the government were not so dead against serving the people, it would be win-win to have more people. More peopl...
January 14, 2018 at 13:51
Then what did you mean by this? "We've known that all Turing machines are equivalent since 1930s"
January 14, 2018 at 12:56
In which case your guilt is completely self generated both internally and externally.
January 14, 2018 at 12:26
No - Who says who is or is not 'deserving'.
January 14, 2018 at 11:52
What sort of mind-bendingly ridiculous statement is this? Computers shall never fully emulate any physical system. It is logically impossible. But sin...
