I'm not exactly sure what you mean by an actual infinite, but I can definitely state that the idea of the infinite does not hinder science. After all,...
The fact that there is so much garbage on social media and the web points in the direction that literature is in decline. It's difficult for me to ima...
As many have pointed out above, ethics is not in any way dependent on any alleged God. No religious person has ever established this claim, they simpl...
This reminds me of the negative eugenics movement, which was a pseudoscience pretending to be scientifically based. For one thing, there is rarely gen...
One may dislike her opinions, but to say she was not a philosopher makes little sense. After all, are her views really any worse than the gibberish fr...
So-called leading philosophers have turned out to be apologists for tyranny, like Heidegger, Russell, and Sartre. So much for the claim that studying ...
Hawking's assertion that "philosophy is dead," was self-refuting. Why? Because the statement "philosophy is dead" is itself a philosophical statement....
Uber: Einstein made great inroads into quantum mechanics, in addition to being the person who came up with the General Theory of Relativity and the Sp...
Uber: We do know the labor theory of value is false, and have known this for a long time now. The value of an object does not exist. Prices exist, and...
Nonsense. People forget the simplest ideas when it comes to math. It's often recognized that once a mathematical object is defined that it can only be...
Uber: Marx stated that workers would go to the lowest level of poverty, and that most definitely did not happen. Under capitalism, we saw the greatest...
Anyone who thinks Einstein's essay on socialism is scholarly work knows nothing of economics. Einstein was a genius in the areas of physics and to a l...
There isn't a whole lot from Marx that isn't complete fiction. He made numerous claims about matters that were not based on any actual facts, and were...
This is what the OP states, "So based on this perspective it seems to me that mental pain including mental illnesses could be a symptom something is w...
The same parts of the brain that activate physical pain also activate for psychological pain. So? How does that mean that psychological pain is a resu...
You are misunderstanding what observation even meant. An observation can occur without any conscious or living being present. Basically, new-agers rou...
There are different types of pain, including pathological pain, which serves no useful purpose. You are also assuming that the cause of mental illness...
Math is non-empirical. This is why no discovery in science has ever overturned a theorem. So, shouldn't you be asking about future physics, which is e...
Philip: It has not been established that we don't make decisions. Just think of it this way --- if the mind decides to do something, that is still a c...
Actually, the universe is non-deterministic, and has been known to be non-deterministic for quite some time. The claim that everything has been predet...
How am I "alienated" from production if I help build something without understanding all of the production processes involved? It's just a made-up con...
Einstein's relativity theories rule out common sense. It's not just physics that goes against common sense, but virtually every science. In genetics, ...
We are evolved social primates, so our conception of morality is largely based on our evolution, although not determined by it. But, go ahead and do w...
Basically, on this forum, as on almost every social media platform, there is an enormous amount of anti-Semitism. It is basic for the left to be anti-...
Rene: How about you actually stop using double standards in judging Israel? Name a single time when you have ever evaluated a position by only looking...
SSU: Tell us all what so-called peace deal the so-called Palestinian Arabs have on the table? Israel has offered the so-called Palestinians a state of...
SSU: There is nothing objective about any UN organization when it comes to Israel. That's one of the issues that the US has with the UN presently. The...
SSU: You think the UN has an "objective" view regarding Israel? That's laughable. How about when the UN claimed that Zionism was racism? Rather odd si...
Charleton: No, it's not true, and I don't even need to waste my time looking at some conspiracy video on social media to know the truth. Go ahead and ...
SSU: There you go completely trying to twist my words. I specifically stated that not every criticism against Israel is anti-Semitic. However, a great...
It's amazing how many crazy Jew-hating comments are on here. Hitler supported Israel? That's absolutely false. Israel is a racist state? False. Israel...
I don't think it was ever the case that everyone could afford a college education, although these days the costs have risen considerably, due to the s...
The British Labour Party is anti-Semitic. The current issue of The Economist magazine even has an article on the topic. The Economist also featured ar...
But if a person believes that there are a number of purposes for education, like training people for jobs, getting people to think critically, creatin...
Rene: Did I state anywhere that a philosophical question cannot be answered? No. I only stated that it cannot be answered by referring to empirical ev...
A philosophical question cannot be answered empirically, scientifically, mathematically or logically. Like questions regarding value judgments, can we...
Charleton: There you go again, completely engaging in a strawman with respect to my actual comment. I never stated that gold was the equivalent of wea...
MMT is a fine example of why economics is not a science. MMT is an ideology that attempts to "justify" rampant government spending. Now, while it is m...
Rene: The mods deleted my comment, which was basically stating that you don't know what you are writing about, that studies have shown toddlers have a...
Mr Phil: You are ignoring what evolution tells us about why you love your mother. It is essentially based on biological evolution. Now, how does evolu...
Mr Phil: Changing political views? There have been studies done that accurately predicted adult's political orientations based on personality tests gi...
Morality is largely hardwired into our brains due to evolution. Even when it comes to our political views and how we divide into left and right-wing p...
It's not that big of an issue, actually. People tend to needlessly complicated this issue of whether there is objective morality. Just start with your...
Charleton: Well, you can make up false claims regarding Marx all day long. In fact, every Marxist I know has never read his works. Marxism is bullshit...
A deductive argument is also the basis for all mathematical proofs, even proofs based on "induction." We know that a deductive argument is valid if th...
I admit I did not bother to watch the video. The title was enough to convince me it would be a waste of time. Labeling claims about white privilege a ...
Well, aren't you assuming that this is a bad thing when there is no basis for saying so? After all, if a particular candidate loses do to low voter tu...
