My advice is to consult the Dungeon Master's Guide for more information. https://res.cloudinary.com/teepublic/image/private/s--UukrmYwR--/t_Preview/b_...

Since all our experience, knowledge, hopes, fears, personality and memories are demonstrably and uniquely coded as neural structure, any 'afterlife' w...

Genetic assimilation is unlikely to be the case here. It has only been witnesses, and then only speculatively, in cases where a clear tetrogen is evid...

Please refer to posts I have already made. If you want to know if I think life is good or bad; it depends on what sort of criteria you want to bring t...

I've made the point more than once already. Value judgements require a valuer. Nothing has inherent value.

Obviously yes. But the claim that a thing has its own build in judgement is absurd.

Belief is for religious Forums, this is Philosophy.

Gusty, please do not misquote.

This is quite a typical response from gusty. I'd not let him bait you!

There is a philosophically technical term for this used in all British universities. It is called bollocks. Some might say that Ben & Jerry's Ice crea...

It means nothing. "good" is a judgement relationship between an observer and a thing. It a value.

How are we distinct from our mind that we have limited access? Sounds like a contradiction It is nonetheless true that, that IS what we are thinking, ...

No it is not. It is a testament to fear and an evolved sense of survival.

The claim remains bold and unsupported. There is nothing anyone could possibly say that supports this claim. There can be nothing inherently good. Goo...

Starting with such a bold claim does not endear readers to take you seriously.

I'll take that as a compliment?

Not specifically. Anyone whose very nature is anathematised by the culture he lives in is not going to have an easy time of it. Life is hard enough as...

You are the only person I know that has ever denied it. You've already offered evidence in your own post. Wittgenstein spent his life in existential a...

Have you got some objection to homosexuality?

The quote does not deny his homosexuality, please note. I cannot speak for him actually having gay sex, that's not the issue. The fact of his sexual o...

There is not a scrap of doubt that he had relationships with men and women in his life. Homosexuality was illegal and heavily scorned by social pressu...

It was hard to be gay. More so then than now.

LOL. Run away!

"Purpose" is an idea a conscious mind. There can be no overarching purpose to life, the world, the universe, unless you posit an over arching consciou...

There are plenty of people who would disagree, and there are many examples where this is so obviously not the case. It depends on so much; what counts...

Probably are alternative words less offensive.

He'd have probably been horrified to hear you say that. The church was not friendly to homosexuals.

You wont make this true by keeping on saying it. In the same way you seem to think that the more you say god exists, god becomes more real to you. Thi...

Yes, you have located the source of all inequality and immorality in the economic system, well done. It is more healthy for our economy to incentivise...

An aomeba can demonstrate what you like to call belief. When it envelops a piece of food you say "it knew the food was there". This is absurd anthropo...

Both belief and doubt are conceptual, actions are inadequate to express these. An observer might infer them from the actions of one whose language is ...

Rubbish. I cannot hold a belief in a thing that is nonsense. I respond to any question about god by asking what is meant by it. As it is not part of w...

Maybe. Do you think it is every worth considering the moral content of taking wealth out of the economy without working for it?

In short Belief is a thing which you wish to be true or take to be true for emotional reasons or reasons of tradition, emotion and particularly becaus...

You are just abusing language. If I see a dog I have no need of any belief, I know.

Total rubbish. In the first place it is perfectly possible to make a clear distinction between knowledge and belief. And in the second place atheists ...

It's boring, predictable and formulaic.

They were great. Where are they now?

There is no 'natural tendency', here. King Crimson continued to change and evolve. I do not see why a genre would necessarily have to do that.

Agreed.

I know writers that kept getting better, though many run out of ideas. And on the matter of composers of the past such as Beethoven it was progress al...

No. I refuse to allow myself to succumb to any belief. I have aspirations that we can improve as a species politically and socially, but not not hold ...

no. I have that reasoned. It is an axiom I have brought into knowledge and is continually subject to revision.

You cannot polish a turd. Belief is the death of reason.

He never escaped the cell of belief in the eternal psyche, for which no evidence could be possible.

The paradox is that you have to be stupid enough to buy, and clever enough to sell before the balloon bursts, as it inevitably will.

All crypto currencies are balloons. Balloons can get very big. The skin of these balloons is as thick as the participant's greed and stupidity. The mo...

Not every one is like Socrates. But there is no doubt that, despite his skepticism, he and everyone around him was subordinated to the cultural norms ...

Horses for courses. Sharks think better than humans when it comes to doing the calculations for swimming and eating fish in the ocean. But they do not...
