Isn't natural tendency inherent character or states from the birth or origin of objects or agents? Normal is expected state, situation, response or ch...

Yes, it is wrong in all situations. However, the situations force the wrong doings. In those special situations, killings can and will happen, which a...

Normality has both social and scientific origin. They are the judgements on the phenomena which fit in the realm of observed events, acts or behaviour...

Act of suicide is an immoral thing to do, because it kills life. Even if it is one's own life. It is still killing which is the most evil act to commi...

Your reply is very sketchy. Could you elaborate more?
December 11, 2025 at 00:56
Something and nothing are semantic place holders for objects. Until you put actual objects in there, they don't mean a thing.
December 11, 2025 at 00:54
That's why talking about something or nothing or true nothing has no meaning. They are just words. When you say something exists, it doesn't say anyth...

Something, nothing and true nothing, they all are just words i.e. semantics. You need to demonstrate what those each words stand for in the real world...

Where did nothing come from?
December 10, 2025 at 00:24
There is no mystery. First and Third person views are the way of human perception. For example, I am playing guitar and singing a song. I am perceivin...

I recall this old thread, but cannot remember the details of each and every discussions. But from my vague memory of reading in the past, they seem to...

No one is omniscient in any worlds. We can only be certain on what we perceive and sense. And some perceptions and sensations need verification for ce...

Hope in a better life means that you must set your own goals for the better life, and work hard for them. There is a meaning of life when making effor...

There are the concepts and objects that we know by reflecting, intuiting and thinking about them, rather than by physical observations, for instance a...

To me, metaphysics means more of a methodology of revealing about the world i.e. the universe. It adopts a critical reflection on the basis of the que...
November 26, 2025 at 19:23
The concept of "the world" you are using is unclear. The world can mean the whole universe including the outer galaxies and black holes outside of the...
November 26, 2025 at 19:12
I was not talking about the world. I was talking about me, and God. :)
November 26, 2025 at 15:11
Just because something can be true or false, it is objective? Subjectivity has no truth or falsity? I don't agree. Do you have some example cases for ...
November 26, 2025 at 13:06
I know God doesn't exist, because he is nowhere to be seen or heard. I know I exist, because I think. Moreover, I can see me standing and walking, and...
November 26, 2025 at 13:01
You seem to be confusing objectivity and truth. Objectivity is not necessarily truth. Subjectivity is not necessarily false. Nope. Not making sense at...
November 20, 2025 at 12:34
Solipsists will say, nothing exists apart from themselves no matter what. I am saying, we don't know something or somebody exists until we communicate...
November 20, 2025 at 10:42
I am not sure if perception can be objective in any sense. In what sense what I am seeing X is same as you are? Nothing makes perception and sensation...
November 19, 2025 at 20:32
I know you exist by the language we share to communicate, art and music we share, and posts you write. But that's it. Beyond that, I don't know anythi...

Some say Kant was a phenomenologist, quite understandably so.
November 19, 2025 at 13:45
My reality is strictly constructed with my perception, sensation and imagination and belief. What I don't sense and perceive, I rely on my imagination...
November 19, 2025 at 12:00
:ok:
November 18, 2025 at 14:36
You may well exist, I was not saying that you don't exist. There is a difference, and you don't seem to see the difference. I don't have the perceptua...
November 18, 2025 at 14:35
If you claim that you have more than your imagination and irrational belief on the external world, then you are pretending. It is not a philosophical ...
November 18, 2025 at 12:42
Yes, I agree. But I recall a book called "Imagination in Kant's Philosophy" by a German philosopher I cannot recall his name. The book was emphasizing...

It is still in my reading list.
November 18, 2025 at 12:34
I never said the post doesn't exist. Where did you get that? I see the post, and I was responding to that. But I don't see you. I am imaging you might...
November 18, 2025 at 12:21
Private mental state is the core of your mind which is your perception. You build your extra mind with your imagination and belief. Remember the exter...
November 17, 2025 at 23:22
No. "God" and "existence" belong to different category of worlds. Existence negates God. God negates existence.
November 17, 2025 at 22:51
Our reality? All reality is subjective private mental state. There is no such a thing as "our reality". Again all experience is private mental event. ...
November 17, 2025 at 22:47
There is nothing new about any of those words. Everyone in the world knows what "cup" is, knows what "table" is. You were just uttering a sentence fro...
September 19, 2025 at 17:06
Could you give some examples of known ideas and new ideas? How does it work?
September 19, 2025 at 15:16
It sounds like you are projecting your own personal value or psychological state onto the nature and the eco system unduly and with some emotional twi...

Some plant and fruit lovers might say to you that how could you kill the plants pulling them out from the field, cut and boil or fry them, and eat the...
September 18, 2025 at 16:28
I went back to the OP, and read it again, but there is nothing which sounds like, or resembles a definition of "think". Could you reiterate it here cl...

But a robot wouldn't repeat beaviours and words without valid reason or request or situation put onto it. If it did, then it is not a smart robot. AI ...
September 18, 2025 at 16:20
All mental events are private. No one is aware of what other mental beings are having in their minds. If AI can think, then we are not supposed to kno...
September 17, 2025 at 12:20
It sounds like both of the vegans and non-vegans are confused with the issue. It is not matter of right or wrong. It is matter of one's own preference...
September 17, 2025 at 12:12
"AI cannot think" What do you mean by "think"? What is your definition of "think"?
September 16, 2025 at 12:41
Observations on the circumstances with evidence, reasoning and logical analysis on the case are some tools we can use in knowing right and wrong.
September 16, 2025 at 12:35
If I had not existed, then I couldn't have a chance to think about the possibility that if I had not existed.
September 15, 2025 at 21:33
Esoterically and spiritually of course even gods and after life and heaven and hell all exist. But it is another realm of thoughts or world if you lik...
July 22, 2025 at 23:44
I have been thinking hard on the topic i.e. existence outside of space and time. Wouldn't it be a contradiction? Existence outside space and time woul...

You utter the word "ouch" for the pain in your body, but you don't know what the state of the neurons and electrons inside your brain is for your utte...

You seem to be digressing into books from the original topic conscious mind. But think again. If there was nothing in the world, i.e. no paper, no ink...

I would imagine so. My mind dies every night when I fall asleep too. But it resurrects every morning thanks to living body waking up. But when body ge...
