Maleness is a property. What's your stance on Hume's Bundle Theory?

May your camel never suffer from loneliness. - Mongolian blessing

It's all about me.

Nobody is perfect. :)

While you're paying his bills, you want him to do what you would do. Once he can pay his own bills, then you will recognize that he is a separate indi...

That song makes me cry.

Ought parents pay their kids' tuition with the expectation that they're buying control?

Do some art. Take up astrology or tarot. It's a body of symbolism that goes on and on and reveals how suicide relates to other parts of life. Otherwis...

You're a good citizen.

I lean toward Democrat, but I think Obama gravely screwed Syria by assuring rebels and then walking away. I kind of doubt trump will accomplish anythi...

No. There's another dangerous spider here called Brown Recluse, but they're shy. So if you came across a funnel-web spider, would you kill it?

How to get to distant galaxies. Can't imagine it yet. Maybe one day, though.

"There's a conflict in every human heart." -- somebody Young Christians are more interfaith than their elders. I discovered this during some years liv...

What Islamic leaders? Name one.

They're not hostile at all. I actually had one on me and it didn't offer to bite. When I think of it, I've been around them all my life and never been...

Bullshit. Ottoman Empire. Theocracy doesn't have to mean, and doesn't usually mean, that the head of state is identical to the religious leader. It's ...

Usually not. They're under things as well. They start behaving a little oddly in the autumn though.

Sounds like you have bug buddhist tendencies as well. Black widows aren't aggressive. But that one was in my house. Too close.

I'm a Bug Buddhist. Seriously. I'm taking my recycling to work to dispose of it because some ants started a civilization in the bottom of the recyclin...

I think if resigning would divert an asteroid on a collision course with earth, Trump wouldn't resign. Everybody is just waiting to see what the inves...

M.Q. Zaman says it's mostly a set of customs. This has posed a challenge to the dream of some Pakastanis to fully institute Sharia: Pakastani judges a...

Yes. Good point.

I did send out a memo on that. Maybe it was eaten by a virus and transformed into a command to launch a nuclear strike on Sweden. Hope not. Arthur C C...

A group simply needs a unique style of pottery to be considered a culture by scholars. Is there an identifiable Islamic artistic style? Yes. It obviou...

Oh, actually that sounds fascinating. Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's philosophical or psychological. Both?

I'm anti-swashbuckling. It should be illegal. No, I haven't seen Black Sails. It's probably on the Roku somewhere.

I was a little offended by the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie because it failed to touch on the role the Caribbean played in the Atlantic slave ...

Scientologists seek to eliminate irrationality from themselves and ultimately humanity, and the word they use for their goal is "clear." There are at ...

Likewise the point of legalizing alcohol wasn't to make jello shots available. Or was it?

How do you get it as a liquid?

Just put it in your brownies. Or scones... whatever you guys eat with your warm beverage.

The postmodern aesthetic is hollow and sometimes intensely self-conscious. It is hard to put into words what goes on when the whole human psyche becom...

You're hovering near a stoic viewpoint. Note that you don't actually have to provide anything logically satisfying. Just point to the way people use t...

Does it have anything to do with your philosophical views or no? Thanks for the movie recommendation...Ill keep my eye out for it. I have roku so I ca...

I didn't know you have it. When were you diagnosed?

Agustino asked me if we could have dinner so he could beg for his position on this forum. I asked him if I had his loyalty and he said no. I asked if ...

Schizophrenia is a terrible disease.

Flee Agustino! There's nothing but assholes here.

Plants change sunlight into bird food. This planet changes sunlight into birds.

I totally agree. Plato has Socrates say that all philosophers long for death because they long for a vantage point on life itself (the assumption bein...

CEO? I think he should probably be checked for signs of dementia.

Your third point resonates with me, but I wonder then about the way a philosopher speaks for a certain culture or generation. It's not a private persp...

Could be. I just caught part of Meet the Press while at work today. I don't even know what to say about Trump's behavior.

Perception of body medicine can also be flawed. Pregnant women don't need a cure, but their condition can be life threatening. Same for depression. Th...
