God no. Think about what "wealth" means -- without equivocating. How it is calculated/determined. Everybody assumes the colloquial terminology, which ...

Ah this one is an absolute gem. Every time someone brings this up, you know they have zero interest in understanding a complex phenomenon such wealth ...

None of what I said are insults. It is a simple observational fact having read your post. You show a lack of understanding in economics. Have you hear...

Because those in power have a better understanding of economics than a random forum dweller spouting out some Marxist's flavoured dystopia, who thinks...

Rachel, this is called laziness. Ambition is pointless without discipline.

Drugs languish mental coherency and distort brain functions in arbitrary (often pleasurable) ways. There is no wisdom in drugs. Objectively speaking r...

Tinnitus is hell. My greatest nightmare. I saw a documentary where a woman committed suicide (with professional assistance) because the suffering was ...

Colour texts, personalised themes, the threads are much clearer structured as my scope of interest is quite limited regarding philosophy -- but I actu...

Your reply did not give the impression you do.

Desire is innate and is not a choice, nor can it be eradicated -- at best suppressed with some nasty unforeseen side effects. This is why I think Budd...

A traditional forum has more options, but I am getting used to this minimalistic forum design.

Empirical evidence, moral views differs by location, time, religions, cultures, countries, etcetera -- to the point that moral relativism is the most ...

"Robert Wright" He keeps trying to push this nonsense through. Two things: (1) Moral descriptively, I think relativism is true. I do not believe in a ...

Welcome lad. Same here, but it may be just bias against any change -- eventually you will get used to it.

I am guilty as well. I will try to behave. :-x

My reply had nothing to do with sex, I actually forgot the topic of debate until he mentioned it again. Fine... It is an obvious fact that we are sexu...

I can not see how I have possibly implied that. I say that Buddhists attempt something that is fundamentally impossible and cover it with a mix of sop...

Is it? I usually accuse the progressive leftist of being so god damn prude... Sex is a normal part of life but I get what you mean, it feels intrusive...

I don't miss the point at all, I know exactly what you are saying, but your left wing bias shines through, to the point that you immediately shut off ...

Yes, I addressed that exactly. Again, what I said to Benkei goes for you as well.

It is by definition... "In Hardin's classic piece "The Tragedy of the Commons," a commons is a natural resource shared by many individuals. In this co...

I concede that that is indeed tricky and there is more to it, but those indicators are quite telling measurements. Hitchens' take took me by surprise....

Yes. It is the tragedy of communal/common ownership of resources. That is pretty much the definition of it.

Yeah, same goes for you what I said to Benkei.

Yeah I never said that...They are not unrelated, what I said is, 'do not conflate them'. You tend to project things on me that I never said. The possi...

Yeah, I mean indications of human flourishing. Human flourishing is more complex.

Imo human flourishing. Quantifiable: reduction in violence (e.g. rates of homicides and rape), poverty and all its aspects (e.g. death by starvation, ...

Now this is funny, in order to safe face, you are straw-manning me? Where did I say it was the only one? "a solution" and somehow you pretended I said...

First of all, climate change has become a religion. It is full of left wing bias. But let's assume that it is true for the moment. Like Hans Rosling s...

Do you understand proportionality? This is how all rates of crime work.

Agustino, I have read Pinker's work and his massive data collection and reasoning are quite solid. I am generally an optimist. https://www.youtube.com...

Have you read some of Haidt's stuff? I score more as a libertarian than a social conservative on his tests. That is probably because my form of social...

This one was really tough, I voted for Hume out of personal preference, but seeing Kant at top seems justified.

Karl Marx.

"Chomsky" (again) lol what am I missing, is this some kind of a cheeky meme I am missing?

Chomsky is not a philosopher.

Probably Religion and Rational Theology.
