We predict the force of gravity between two objects by looking at their mass and the distance between them. This is physics 101. We don't know what gr...
It's pretty much a sure thing at this point right? We need to buckle up and accept the fact that it's Hillary's turn. How history will remember her pr...
It seems fairly apparent now that Trump's campaign is a goner. It turns out that that sex and the condoning of vague sexual aggression is the worst th...
The pattern is inherent in the numbers though; in the data; in the observations. In the most basic argument saying "the sun will rise tomorrow", the o...
Well they had to bend their false models to comply with observations in order to be able to make reliable predictions, but you're missing the point. T...
Regarding "the sun will rise tomorrow" as a statement of fact, let's try to remember that this not an example of deductive reasoning, it is an example...
The "sun rising" every day is a great example of a strong cumulative argument.which requires very minimal technical or absolute depth in reasoning or ...
I really don't want to defend trump here, the point I was making was that what trump was describing is not necessarily a description of sexual assault...
There's no proof against solipsism; perhaps the thing of which we are most certain of is actually our own prevailing lack of absolute certainty. When ...
Hillary is just as big or bigger of a flopper though, and according to the recently leaked "wall street speeches" she has both a real and a private po...
well, if he can be convicted of sexual assault, that might be one thing (to be honest it might not even actually disqualify someone for the presidency...
I gather that you really dislike trump and all, but do you honestly think that "2 billion worth of free air-time" is a fair point to make? Two billion...
How can a man with hands that small be president? What is he gonna shake Putin's baby toe? That's not classy. In all seriousness though, no, sex scand...
Descartes cogito ergo sum was the first un-doubtable truth that he came to (IIRC) in his process of attempting to doubt everything (and thereby come t...
Eyeballs and Enzo Ferraris are really very "absurd" things. When I was young I could not fathom how such absurd things could come into existence and I...
The reason why the statement contradicts itself is that it's first premise "There is a phenomenon called "thinking" ", is mutually exclusive from it's...
The hard problem of existence (what cogito ergo sum purports to satisfy) is a bit different than the hard mind-body problem, which is in one sense the...
It's well fucked guys. Tits up. IT'S A GONER! If anyone has content they put a lot of work into on the old forum, what you can do to try and recover i...
I wonder how you would have approached this comment had you not known that I was a man... Can you even imagine how you might have responded if you did...
Reading that paragraph is as a soothing balm on an open wound :) More universities are going to start following suit, not only for their own protectio...
Just want to leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMkWxN8wWLM This is a striking example of many of the problems I've sought to describe.....
Complexity science and morality, especially if I get to mix the two.... For the last several years I've been trying to piece together a full blown "mo...
The problem with using "white supremacist patriarchy" as a description of disparities rather than a description of the cause of those disparities is t...
For all intents and purposes this discussion is feminism's ambit. I'm a feminist, you're a feminist, and we seem to disagree; the present discussion i...
Here in this thread, yes, we're having a conversation about feminism itself rather than feminist issues, but you must understand the point I am raisin...
Greetings StreetlightX, fellow male feminist here! I too wield the sensical and uncontroversial definition of feminism and liberally apply it to mysel...
Satire has been as oxygen to me of late, especially with respect to the current topic of discussion. Of course, that is eminently due to the fact that...
So you're essentially saying "we should not trust Vagabond's arguments because his penis makes him less aware". Nobody should "trust arguments"; we us...
Umm, I tried to reply to your post but I accidentally hit "flag" and now I cannot un-flag :( Sorry about that! But regarding "virtue". The anti-"regre...
I had a trouble understanding the main thrust of the entire talk. It's main focus is colonialism and only a few times goes into any specifics regardin...
Glad you found it useful, I only wish that it was possible to go more in-depth without basically writing an entire book on the subject. The speed with...
This particular game of uproar came about as the result of the kinds of ideologies I described becoming over-internalized. Keep in mind that the woman...
Most women actually do not call themselves feminists, and of the minority of women who do consider themselves feminist, many wholeheartedly reject rej...
I've had my ear to the digital ground specifically in regards to how feminism has been manifesting online for over a year now. It's really difficult t...
This is a phenomenon that I've encountered in my own moral and ethical reasonings which I first became aware of through a maxim that I have never been...
Let's take a closer look at each of the criterion you have mentioned: 1) Restriction of opportunity. No part of the American legislative or economic s...
How rotten? You say that American hypocrisy pisses you off because America's disregard for it's horrible history of treatment of blacks is not all ove...
All I'm asking for is some kind of measurement of racism within the system. You have qualified racism as being a component of the system we live in, b...
I would like clarification on whether or not police arresting a black person is necessarily racist... If a black cop arrests a black man, is that stil...
Your point is that the police arresting black people, regardless of why, is racist? What is racism? Is police arresting a white person, regardless of ...
It's interesting that you suggest economic factors might play a role in causing higher crime rates in poor communities; that's what I've been doing in...
For a series that portrays itself as a "decoder" of controversy, it really does a poor job of doing so. The speaker in the video very passively acknow...
Without getting into a discussion of broad economic theory, the point I was making is that the minimum wage has not risen comparably to inflation and ...
Frankly it is very easy to deny your direct experience because my own direct experience contradicts it. The kind of evidence I'm looking for is two fo...
The way you say it though, "police are quite literally out to get black people", is unnecessarily divisive and somewhat misleading given the larger co...
"Culture is the presence of history"... So you're not saying that all white people are inherently prejudiced, just that white culture itself is prejud...
