Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but: only an atheist would believe that atheism is older than Christianity. For the Christian, Adam and Ev...
Not sure why you're so concerned about the humility of vegans. This post is about whether veganism itself contains a paradox. Which it doesn't. It's a...
It's not paradoxical though. Veganism is about the commitment to reducing suffering. They're under no illusions that all suffering will be gone. It's ...
You do what you can and the best you can. Most vegans don't wear animal products either. And even if they didn't, you're basically saying that since w...
That's a problem, but clearly not an argument to go ahead and commit mass murder. It's akin to saying that since driving cars will statistically and a...
A taste for meat does not equal the need to kill. It's pretty obvious that we do not need to kill animals for food. For vegans there is no paradox, be...
Of course we all think our own opinions are right and others are wrong somehow. Otherwise we would have the other opinion. "Superior" is the wrong wor...
Your post here is about reincarnation. That means after you die. After you die, social and causal ripples are all that is left. Before you die you hav...
You could take an atheistic/scientific approach to the idea of reincarnation that makes it more logical: the matter of which we all are made is endles...
Questioning them as a layperson without (so far as has been presented here) any evidence to do so, and thus exposing children to your own (seemingly) ...
Your post is basically just saying "Give me the evidence, but oh, if you do, I won't believe it anyway cause it's just a matter of interpretation, and...
I think it's pretty stupid to ask for evidence and then, upon being told the evidence, questions all science and psychology, not just one study or one...
Equating imagery and game play makes no sense. I did not say art was solely aesthetics. I said primarily. Big dif. That can mean anywhere from 51 to 1...
Gotta go with the best knowledge you have at any given time in history. You really shouldn't post about your personal life if you're going to react so...
You can loom at the American Psychology Associations own website if you want. Or pick up any developmental psych 101 textbook. It's pretty basic stuff...
I didn't say anything about your kids specifically. (Though I do honestly assume it's not as rosy and happy as you claim it is... perhaps you'll find ...
That's not tyranny, that's just how being a social being works. Perhaps you wish we could have evolved from crocodiles instead so we could be totally ...
There's a reason this is illegal in some places and just generally frowned upon. The APA describes parenting styles such as yours thusly: Permissive I...
Being "pleasant" is not a sufficient condition for something to be called art, because a multitude of things "please" like a sunny day, a rainbow, a k...
Drop the 'tude dude. You're either unaware of, or outright neglecting much of the important history of Western philosophy. Plato was the first to say ...
Knowledge is traditionally, and succinctly defined as "justified, true belief." You can have an unjustified and untrue belief, like thinking that you ...
Feminists being uneasy with gay men, drag queens, and mtf transpeople goes way back. Gay men asserted that gay rights were more important than women's...
It's one thing to criticize a group of people on the basis of trivial and/or inborn qualities such as race, sex, or sexuality. That's the kind of thin...
This is clearly a case of projection on your part: you tell me I'm insisting on a misinterpretation and then you call me an anti-natalist without any ...
How do you know that there is a problem? It makes no sense to say you know something without having a shred of evidence in favor thereof. You're simpl...
I suppose a better term for what people are actually looking for (or should be looking for) is "evidence." Most of science and most of philosophy are ...
The key being once it is born. Arguing that we ought to bring people into life, because they will then enjoy it is just an argument against birth cont...
Nope. A) A non-existent entity has no interest in being born. Therefore there are no non-existent pigs who wish for you to create them. Your hypotheti...
Oh boy! I guess somebody better call Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Sweden, Japan, Luxembourg, etc, etc and let them all know their superior, more c...
Since we're just repeating our contrary positions at this point, I'm pretty sure it's time to move on from that part of the issue. I do recognize and ...
Rephrase the question from are they art to can they be art and we might get somewhere. I would argue that games can contain artistic elements, or even...
SA had the link to this article... Which, you may notice, itself links to peer-reviewed psychological studies in academic journals. Point is, there's ...
You need to decide whether you're arguing for a well-balanced diet or not. A well-balanced omnivorous or vegan diet will both require more fruits and ...
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/being-a-couch-potato-may-change-your-personality1/ Something to think about. I vote for going back to colle...
I stumbled across this article through Scientific American and had to think of you: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/mental-health/the...
Again, all of this is based on some totally weird idea about what a plant-based diet even looks like. It's like you have a block and can't process thi...
I guess that explains your inability to thrive on a plant-based diet. A well-balanced any kind of diet has about the same composition: 45-65% of calor...
Nietzsche seems to be a favorite on this forum, but the professors I've had have informed me that among professional philosophers, Nietzsche just isn'...
I think sometimes it's useful and other times leads one off topic, because then you get into arguments about the "correct" definition instead of just ...
You're missing my main point: you're too self-obsessed and that's what's bringing you down. You're clearly stuck in a rut of overthinking the futility...
There is a difference between "never having existed", "currently existing," and "ceasing to exist." As a currently existing creature, I have an intere...
Suggesting someone take up a hobby is not about getting life "right." It's gentle way of suggesting that you're wasting your precious time on this pla...
