Trump and one of his heights during his presidency. Netanyahu giving a speech at the celebrations of a new settlement in the Golan Heights: https://im...
One way to think about it: Did any philosopher contribute anything new to philosophy in the 19th Century? Was there anyone then that made us think abo...
Well, in order to move on, here's the outrageous she had to apologize for. No, it wasn't a comedy skit, but a dance act she was training for (and a pi...
I wouldn't refer to 'they' here to the Sami in general, as I think majority don't care about if someone else uses their traditional dress or a cheap c...
Yes, but apparently it isn't limited to that anymore. I just love it when these blossoms of American Leftist-culture are copy pasted in the exact same...
So what you are basically arguing is that state capitalism is a step into socialism: countries investing their revenue into the stock market (of other...
That is your argument for socialism? I don't know if I should laugh or be genuinely happy, perhaps I'll do both. Norway is a capitalist country. No wa...
Your question is like "How did Mathematics start?" The first idea would be to say that it started with the need to count things. Yet if a smart animal...
Well, jackals and jackasses aren't great as leaders in ANY society no matter who owns the capital. The Social Democrats, the Ex-Communists (the Leftis...
As Slavoj Zizek has said, Marx many time said that history/events can go the other direction he envisioned them going... and that typically was the wa...
Where has socialism been tried? Let's see... Russia, China, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Cub...
The problem with these threads is that there is always one dominant narrative used: "Neocons are trying everything, including false flag operations to...
Socialism didn't work anywhere where it was tried, so hopefully nobody is trying to leap back to that misery. No. Your confusing a mixed economy to so...
It's a subtle thing, actually. Yet the first step to get one segment of people to harm another segment is to dehumanize the other people. Dehumanizing...
Well, we do have our own country. Even if the majority of Finns know that they are or at least have been a totally expendable nation, meaning that nob...
I think you can make jokes about any topic, yet the way you make it and just how you make it is important. Something that is just veiled as a joke mig...
What's so sad about? Trump doesn't care a shit about anything else but himself. For Trump to talk about endless wars was as hollow as his talk about f...
In a newly emerged nation the largest freedom is the freedom from the old nation that had people under it's control and had lost the legitimacy to it'...
And why cannot we just accept that we don't know consciousness just as we don't know dark matter etc? As you said above, this doesn't go through at al...
Let's say that positivism is such an old idea that it's not something that scientists get hyped up. They wouldn't form a positivists-circle at your ne...
And how would it be possible by only looking at physics, the movement of particles to derive how elephants behave in groups? You are simply dismissing...
And that utterly fails to answer the actual questions. This kind of reductionism is simply totally and utterly useless. You see, you don't have to bel...
Indeed. And just how smart would it be and how interesting discussion you could have with the AI are really totally open questions. Yeah, you could as...
It's a question of classification, yes, and I think TheHedoMinimalist has another idea than just classification at mind here. Perhaps when you are tal...
No. Physics doesn't claim anything like that. That is a philosophical view only and what you are describing is more of reductionism. And this is more ...
Living organisms can also die, so the dead/alive dichotomy is quite understandable. Again why life has a lot to do with living organisms. No. As you m...
When scientists just do there jobs, look at some new collected data and make their scientific article on what the data can tell to us, it isn't hard t...
Anti-realism might be a useful device for philosophical sceptism or to counter the most egregious overreaches or oversimplifications that people do in...
Why to insist on redefining life and not simply making the juxtaposition with having capacity for autonomous action and being incapable of it? Why lif...
Those things are important. Considering something living is quite important to us and there is an obvious difference on how we treat living things ver...
Rand is one of these typical immigrants to the US who praise the exceptionality of the American system. She makes this mix of individualism, libertari...
Indeed, your comments are stupid. Needless to say, but you simply cannot fit a B-52 into an aircraft carrier and why would such totaly ludicrous thing...
Reclassification? And why the UN? What does the UN have to do with US nuclear policy? What does Trump have to do with the UN? And anyway, I guess what...
Really? Address something that I actually wrote in the edit section? Gosh. Good you had the answer in parentheses and added "though not much". Otherwi...
Ok, so now I have to defend my argument. With references. With Detail. So be it, Boethius. So I said So I'll defend my argument. With "neither" above ...
? Actually I stated what I thought quite clearly about her if you would mind reading what people say. But seems like your hunting for some Rand suppor...
I will have to try to make this point clear. a) All these wars the US is fighting, it is fighting with the Continental US in peace. Using nukes would ...
Well, I believe that determinism and free will don't actually exclude each other because we are simply talking about two totally different issues. Fre...
I think that there isn't any flaw in logic. Logic is perfect, we just are not. The most likely flaw that we have is that we presume natural numbers to...
Here's a question that I would genuinely want to get the views from people on PF. Hopefully people understand my question. Let's assume that there wou...
This is one of the pitfalls were modern science veer into, just like it to be seen just as a tool of political power. And that demarcation could be us...
That would be just what the present computer programs have done for ages. Ever heard of cybernetic systems? Something invented during WW2 was hailed t...
The Russians ALWAYS say the US did it first and meticulously make their point of them just reacting to US aggression whereas the US only sometimes mak...
The minimal role of the government is the way a lot of right-wing libertarians especially in the US think. Not to be confused with the Libertarians-in...
