The theory of evolution, as presented in your version, has both explanatory power and its limitations. The fact is that any normal scientific theory i...

So, I'm forced to argue with you. This isn't necessary. It's just an idea that groups facts into a convenient way to structure the incoming flow. It's...
December 25, 2025 at 18:06
I'm pleased that my approach prompted you to elaborate, but your clarifications don't quite meet my needs. Please don't perceive me as a villain. I'm ...
December 25, 2025 at 17:08
Thank you for your question; I'm interested in this topic. Since this question is being asked on a philosophy forum, I'll be answering philosophically...

The examples given here are, of course, not exhaustive. However, even axioms are sometimes revised. This is an extremely rare, but possible, phenomeno...

Thank you for your comment. Do you think it's possible to provide a precise estimate of each parameter of the idea without empirical methods (psycholo...

I don't have any questions for God about good or evil. Therefore, I have no answer for you. Love is not good. Love is grace. The Christian's task, in ...

Everyone: I don’t understand why you are offering me a false dichotomy for resolution, outside the context in which I explained my position?
December 20, 2025 at 18:10
Sorry, but I didn't understand your question.
December 20, 2025 at 07:52
I'm not a UK resident and have no emotional connection to writing this post, but I do have a question for the author. Do you think it's necessary to d...

I would add that, upon closer examination, regarding the proposition of what is and is not hell or heaven. I wrote about this in one of the threads ea...
December 19, 2025 at 02:34
I agree with your assertion. Moreover, I'd like to point out that the question itself is already posed within the paradigm of "why did this ideology t...

Let me try to answer your central question: What explains the success of Christianity? 1. High universality for its time – Christianity's ability to e...

The norm is a point of semantic balance between extremes
December 17, 2025 at 09:43
This is a fantastic comment. It feels like I have no answer to what you asked, because you so accurately captured the essence of what lies beneath the...
December 13, 2025 at 17:41
This is truly a high-quality level of rhetorical mastery. The nomadic idea of ??"home" is tied not to the land, but to everyday life, loved ones, and ...
December 10, 2025 at 14:04
Considering your number of forum posts, as well as the fact that you read almost every thread on this forum, I imagine you're already more than well-e...

Any concept, be it relativism, anti-fundamentalism, or postpositivism, is a conceptual framework or analytical tool—a "lens" through which to describe...
December 10, 2025 at 05:44
This phenomenon concerns me. I'd like to delve into the descriptive description of the phenomenon (how it happens) rather than the prescriptive (how i...
December 03, 2025 at 18:49
I'd add another layer to this. If we take what I've described about ancient times as a starting point, then in that society, caring for the disabled w...
December 03, 2025 at 10:52
There is ample archaeological and paleopathological evidence that ancient humans, including early Homo sapiens and even Neanderthals, cared for and ca...
December 03, 2025 at 03:36
I understood your point. And an idea immediately arose. (In this topic, I'm voluntarily eager to be the object of research.) You seem to be trying to ...
December 02, 2025 at 16:48
I’d like to tell you one more interesting thing about the Russian language. A lot of people think that since Russian doesn’t have a strict, fixed word...

I've tried to think about this, but it's incredibly difficult. I've established for myself, and found it sufficient, the following: when I speak or wr...
December 02, 2025 at 14:40
An interesting topic, very much in line with my research into languages. In my opinion, this is quite controversial, since the very method of predicti...
December 02, 2025 at 07:07
Similar to my previous response to you in another thread: I suggest you consider this not as truth or a claim to truth, but as a lens that may or may ...
November 30, 2025 at 18:22
Generally speaking, identifying the source of an author's problems always leads to greater understanding of the problem they're writing about. But my ...
November 30, 2025 at 17:43
Not at all. This post is a reflection on the external world, but I found solutions for myself long ago. And I live quite well with the understanding t...
November 28, 2025 at 07:07
In fact, this post was inspired by a book I recently came across, "The Man Without Qualities" by Robert Musil. The novel is set in Austria, 1913. The ...
November 27, 2025 at 07:55
Thank you for your comment. May I ask you what decision you made for yourself?
November 27, 2025 at 06:29
In this context, I had no intention of asserting what gender is. My goal was to provide an example. In fact, as I can tell from your comments, you hav...
November 27, 2025 at 06:25
Perhaps for some people, this problem seems academic, theoretical, and not particularly interesting. However, I'll give a striking example from our mo...
November 27, 2025 at 06:09
This is where I highlight the problem: claiming one or the other as true; claiming the truth of both, or claiming the futility of everything. That's t...
November 27, 2025 at 04:42
But even the beginning of focusing on these questions is impossible without naming the underlying problem. Isn't that so? It's great when someone can ...
November 27, 2025 at 03:09
A very interesting paper that succinctly complemented my reflection: It's very difficult to argue with this. Moreover, I've met philosophers who, whil...
November 26, 2025 at 09:06
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. My post turned out to be a bit long, as I tried to fit a lot into it. Yes, the main point I wanted...

"What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if shadows disappeared from it? After all, shadows come from objects...

My opinion on your question will probably differ somewhat from what people expect to hear at a psychologist's office, but I'd like to share it with yo...
November 24, 2025 at 03:54
I don't disagree with your point of view, nor do I consider mine to be the truth. Cinema is art, and some people see it one way, others another. I did...
November 23, 2025 at 18:19
I'll definitely check it out. Judging by the description, it looks interesting.
November 18, 2025 at 07:49
Do you think we'll see a true survival show by 2035? Like deathmatches or frantic races? The participants could be death row inmates, debtors, or the ...
November 18, 2025 at 05:29
My understanding is different. It's neither adrenaline nor pure religion; it's both, plus ten other factors. It's a multifactorial phenomenon that can...
November 17, 2025 at 18:11
This probably won’t surprise you, but reading your post reminded me of a personal experience. Some time ago, while browsing job postings, I stumbled u...
November 17, 2025 at 15:14
I like how it's implemented here. There are topics that don't interest me and are an eyesore, but I go into them and learn something new or interestin...
November 17, 2025 at 14:52
There's a fine line here. Rogues are people who break the rules and thus evoke sympathy (something like Jack Sparrow). They remain within the rules th...
November 17, 2025 at 13:14
I wrote about this before, in another thread, but I'll repeat it here since you brought it up. Deciding how someone lives carries with it the responsi...
November 17, 2025 at 09:39
This is a wonderful act of self-determination, something only a truly existing, becoming subject is capable of. (I'm actually working on a related ont...
November 14, 2025 at 20:04
Frankly, there's no methodological precision in presenting these statistics. I was simply suddenly intrigued by the question: what if we compare the i...
November 14, 2025 at 19:26
I agree. I'll try to expand on my idea a bit. Shifting boundaries, rethinking boundaries—that's truly necessary. This is the very essence of the proce...
