"Some kind of pedagogical training tool," indeed. Do you understand what logic is? How does information have any meaning if some kind of structured an...

"Illogical premises" sure. Give me one single example, pal. I never denied that observation is useful-- it is, in fact, necessary. But I would argue t...

I'm just giving up on this thread. Philosophy is supposed to be based on logic, not mysticism. Enjoy your speculations.

...that's why I pointed out the significant influence of culture. (1) Yes, but I was raised in a society in which monogamy is valued. (2) and (3) I th...

Yes. That is literally what the linked article is about. And the reason I linked said article was to refute your claim that the brain's impulses are o...

When you say "perspective," you seem to indicate what is traditionally termed a "mind." Your mind (feel free to ignore my nomenclature), as a separate...

No, I did not. But neurologists have done so hundreds of times. Clearly you have not done your homework. Those "physiological changes" you talk about ...

But that still does not make the mind an independent entity from the brain. Or, more logically, mental states are an experience caused by those chemic...

Interesting point-- and correct, but that person would be unable to think of it in the first place.
January 12, 2018 at 17:08
NOTHING, as @"TheMadFool" correctly stated earlier, is a completely negative concept. So it follows that we cannot describe NOTHING in positive terms....
January 12, 2018 at 17:07
If "NOTHING" does not exist as an idea, then how are we discussing it? You are correct. There is NOTHING to understand, because as I stated before, NO...
January 12, 2018 at 06:31
I'm kidding. Nothing is an idea. That's it. That's all it is. "Nothing" is how we conceptualize an absence of a specific thing or things within a give...

Nothing isn't, in fact.

Can we get some kind of definition on what objectivity actually is?
January 11, 2018 at 21:33
This is almost certainly untrue. Are you suggesting that human cognition is restricted to these functions exclusively?

@"noAxioms" is correct.

The idea that Trump's movement was in any way populist is a complete sham. In fact, the majority of Trump's voter base was affluent white people. Brex...

Marx believed that capitalism oppressed the individual-- suppressed the individual's voice-- , and that many individual beliefs and behaviors were res...

I apologize for any misunderstanding. I accede that there are, of course, many similarities among moral codes between cultures. Perhaps I over-emphasi...
January 11, 2018 at 18:09
No, Austin. Money does not buy happiness-- but money can buy things that significantly improve your quality of life. You are most likely going to be m...
January 11, 2018 at 05:50
I believe that's what Marx was trying to do.
January 11, 2018 at 05:26
This is not a disproof of the subjectivity of morality-- in fact, it is the opposite. Your logic is deeply flawed. The contradiction you think to be s...
