An example of this would probably be a time when I wanted to become smarter, and through some manner of my own mindset I would become a bit smarter. H...

Honestly I think a lot of this went over my head, and I don't see the question. From the beginning it is we as humans who have defined the word transp...

Cannot disagree with that. I would agree with and to that. Like you have said it is unrefined, but I would say something similar to that. The parts wi...

Probably is, however I think it is important to state that these are my own thoughts and not that of others. That is a mighty example you used, and a ...

I can understand your position on land, however I am trying to state that it is our own values that give quality. I will admit that my example with ri...

I have a couple of different ideas from my own thoughts and experience. However suffering is part of life so the justification would be just as much p...

I thought that this might have been a common idea, but I just didn't really have an support for that idea. What I meant by a different meaning was a l...

I completely understand why you could see it that way. However my point isn't about material over character. That was only meant to be an example. The...

I would agree with this, except that there is no such thing as an achievable perfect world. Technology is one thing we cannot take back after it is cr...

I think that people are involving the government too much in this conversation. If this were a conversation to determine a governmental system or a ce...

I meant that is not limiting the options.

At this point I can't help but admit you right. It seems I was thinking too superficially again. Yes, GENE determines what you can actually do, but it...

It seems like a lot of this has gone really out of hand. The original topic was about the freedom of choice and underlying factors affecting it. I hav...

You learn more everyday. I can definitely see how this could be a prime subject for research.

Wow, that is all very interesting. I am in no way an expert, or even baseline in this kind of thing. However, from what I know the DNA chains shorten ...

I only used soul as a lack of a better word. I do not exactly believe in all that stuff either. You seem to be stating that you merely exist, which I ...

Is their ability to regrow their heads the only reason you admire them?

That's actually kind of cool. How exactly do they thrive? And testing the personality would be impossible.

I understand that without all the extenuating factors, like being held at gunpoint, a person would likely choose what they like. However is that alway...

We will just have to disagree, all of my emotions and thoughts are part of who I think I am. My emotions can't be others, my thoughts can't be others,...

I am not talking about a role in their life, but more of their personality. My original intent was that because of immortality many people would exper...

You are not these but they are all a part of you. Do you know who you are? If you say all these things aren't a part of you, then what are you? This o...

To what end? I am not saying that it is not important at all, but only minimally so. In normal human life I would put a much greater emphasis on it, h...

Ahhhhh, I understand better now. I have thought about this before myself. Everything one does and will do is affected by everything. However, is there...

Yes, but how does that connect to our original topic. You are basically agreeing with me that the Gene part in GENE is less important than the other p...

You are saying that only if you had training would you try to disarm the assailant. This is wrong, even without training you can try. I think I unders...

I think you are putting to much emphasis on genes, (I have read your other current thread). I think that experiences play more of a role in a person t...

While an interesting idea, I disagree with some of it. People can overcome some of the these factors. In your example with ice cream, even if somebody...

I will check out your flash-fiction, thanks. I would disagree, sometimes it is just one slip up or letting something slide just once that changes your...

Logically thinking things that are rarer (or in this case are around for less time) are more valuable. It is just very hard to put a value on life in ...

I think that immortality is wrong, death is of course horrible but it is also a part of life. Personally it is what I believe gives meaning to our liv...

To whether this question has meaning or not I think that I, the one who asked the question, would be able to tell better. My intent with the question ...

In my opinion the only way to complete some of these would be world domination. The problem is that if you want to achieve these objectives worldwide,...

In my opinion the only way to prevent these is perfection, which is impossible. From my understanding, Philosophy is a bunch of people trying and thin...

First I would like to state that I am in no way qualified to be saying this, however I do have a slight understanding and sympathy for your situation....

I did use the word 'Objective' in a confusing way in this post. One thing I wanted to know was when it came to art what was the judge of quality. Spec...

I think one part I get stuck over is that for something to be good it should be liked on some level, because people should be able to recognize good. ...

If you have an idea or opinion you would like to share, please do so.

I don't think I quite understand this: The reference is entirely subjective. A human is saying your words and it will obviously fall to that persons v...

It's true that I am not as much 'in the thick of it' as you, I also now realize that my comment doesn't exactly fit the situation. However, what I wan...

I would just like to say that I don't like using English definitions like this. Let me explain, the English language was and is made by a person or pe...

Seems I did not use the quote function correctly, here is the other part.

(This is my first time using the quote function, I'll see how it turns out.) I think that it is not that everybody has felt love, but everybody can fe...

I apologize for my mistake. I was thinking on a chart that I saw for global wealth distribution (Which still must have been false). Also, thank you fo...

This post has gone in some different directions, so I would just like to state my opinion on a matter. I believe that the government should not be abl...

I can see you have put a lot of work into the certain policies. However none of it will work if the premise is flawed. What you are suggesting is a so...
