I don't think we can make such a direct connection, and I don't think most commentators are attempting to. It's more a case of Trump using his high pu...
Well, not really. You're suggesting a government that imposes strict conditions on who gets to participate in the political process. May be a good ide...
True, but knowledge is the source of the powers that we abuse. The fact that people tend to abuse all resources should suggest to us that perhaps we s...
Experience of phenomena that might be called God seems possible through reason alone. As example, you are using reason to discover the limitations of ...
An interesting proposal which merits discussion. All I can think of to quibble about so far is that this would require a major re-write of the U.S. Co...
Generally speaking, scientists already meet the criteria you've set. And they can't figure out how to design any technology that would make nuclear we...
Except for me of course, because my social skills are so very excellent, so much better than all of the rest of you, which is why everybody loves me s...
The group consensus, including yourself apparently. This is the simplistic, outdated and dangerous "more is better" mindset left over from a past era ...
Except that I never did make that claim. Here's how you might proceed, if you are actually interested in the topic. 1) You could argue that humanity c...
The good news is (WTF, good news from Jake???) that while we can't easily reverse species extinction, we could substantially reduce human populations ...
Well, the best I can suggest is that a global philosophy forum may not be the best place to seek such advice. We're all over the world and many of us ...
To the limited degree I understand your situation, if I do at all, it seems attending college would get you out of the house and help you learn more l...
What is it about the fact that the collapse of modern civilization could literally happen right now today in the next few minutes that you don't get? ...
It's not "anti-intellectualist" to get that the success of science has created a revolutionary new environment which we are now required to adapt to, ...
The only thing that's needed to slow the rate of technological development is for us to grasp what's going to happen if we don't. I would agree that w...
Yea, that's the outcome I would hope to avoid. But, it's not always possible. You know, one could have a stroke out of the blue, a car accident etc. B...
You might seek out those currently teaching and studying academic philosophy for further advice. This link might help: https://blog.apaonline.org/ If ...
My mom died of Parkinson's. The problem is that if you wait too long, you lose the choice, and can be stuck for many years in a collapsing body prison...
Thank you, I was hoping you might add your insights, your understanding that this is fundamentally a human problem, not just a technical problem. If t...
Yes, I read your post in it's entirety. You presented a problem. I'm waiting to see if you are interested enough in this problem to try to address it ...
Indeed, great comment that gets to the hub of it. However, as one gets older the price of making the wrong call does recede. Personally, I'm not a fan...
They get pregnant, and those little mouths need to be fed. They get tired of living in a cramped roach infested little apartment next to the universit...
Who do you think they are? Please note how you made NO EFFORT to address the question yourself. That's because you're not actually interested in the s...
In my typoholic opinion, no one can provide an answer one way or another regarding the possible existence of something like a god. However, a good phi...
All kinds of arguments like this will go round and round and round to nowhere, until the day the violent men do something to get our attention, like n...
If you're interested in this question, you'll try to answer it yourself. If you don't try, you're not interested, and thus it wouldn't be a good use o...
Should an engineer building a faster race car take in to account the abilities and limitations of the driver? Would doing so tend to make the car safe...
Great question. Not sure I have a great answer, but here's a try. Interpersonal conflict seems to often involve some kind of superiority claim. I am r...
Would this include a detached, objective, impartial, evidence based observation of the human condition, built upon the thousands of years of history w...
I'm not claiming that women are gods with all the answers, only that they aren't as violent as men, a factor which grows in importance as we fill the ...
First, thank you for re-engaging. In thanks I'll make a good faith effort to downscale my ornery bombastic belchings. Sorry for getting so wound up. I...
Thank you for acknowledging my doom mongering trolling while at the same time claiming not to. Your comment here is a classic example of the true beli...
Apologies, but this is just trendy political correctness fad of the day stuff, which ignores literally millions of years of human evolution. Not a the...
I didn't mean it to be judgmental, was just trying to summarize my highly imperfect understanding of Schop quickly. Right. We are human. We write stor...
There's exactly no chance that humanity will adopt your beliefs. So where do we go from there? Are we still interested in saving the world? Or is it y...
Women pose about 10% of the threat that men pose. Just turn on your TV and look. Who is it on the screen doing all the carnage? Not your Aunt Betty! :...
Come up with a way to make men only as violent as women, and you've got a plan worth talking about. Until then, violent men threaten to crash civiliza...
To the degree I understand him, Schopensour the philosopher (and the poster) does seem to be writing about topics that are worth discussing. I do thin...
Sorry Pattern, we're not allowed to look behind the curtain at the assumptions the thread is built upon. That would be philosophy, and we all know phi...
