In the quote you referred to, I was speaking more about our ability to conceptualize something that might be outside of reality as we know it and unab...
That's just the narrative of the elites. Society is more than that, it is all people included. Do you see many killings on your street? Fights for mon...
Even if I'm not fully convinced that there are some objective morals for humans, there's no denying that there are psychological hints. For instance, ...
No, it came out of a questioning of old norms. Even Stuart Mill questioned why women didn't have equal rights and I don't think the suffragette moveme...
What respect should we give misogynist and racist people? I have no problem understanding how things got where they are historically and seeing how pe...
I'm also going by reality as a source for how things are, but the reality is also that humanity has formed culture and society on top of delusions and...
Maybe that's why humanity always searches for what we ought to do because we recognize the selfishness in our nature. Then again, a selfish act can al...
"Progressive kool-aid" just sounds like the normal reaction fallacy you get from these people and it's beneath me to dance by such low quality. 1) Why...
Conservative norms vs changing norms with the catalyst of the internet as a radicalization system. We live in a time that has rapidly transformed what...
Is not all of our society based on us taming the animal nature of our basic psychology? Haven't we all introduced cultural restrictions so as to funct...
I'd say the opposite, quantum-level interactions have lower relational interactions, and sometimes objects are quantum entangled and essentially behav...
Isn't it the modern scientific paradigm that everything is relative to something else? Even the core of spacetime functions on relative terms. So can ...
I agree, but it is still an active detachement even for the sage. When I go through everyday life I do not apply the complex thought process I use in ...
I'd say that's just nature and nurture, coded information in genetics as a continuum through generations as nature, and cultural knowledge past down a...
But the claim that the soul is a real thing, a thing that exists before birth and survives our body death, is something that plenty believe is an actu...
There's a difference between saying that biases are bad for rational and critical thinking, and saying there are "good and bad biases". So you form a ...
I'd say that's akin to basic confirmation bias, but your previous post described bias pretty well. In the simplest form, a bias is simply a statistica...
I'd argue that I favor Spinoza's rationalism far more than positivism. I would even argue that even if positivists are closely related to science, eve...
Still, we don't embrace it, the unknown is uncomfortable and emotions is of great importance to the self-programming of our thinking. Which, leads to ...
Maybe fundamentalist and dogmatic are good descriptions if it summarizes the arguments as being ignorant of valid objections to them. I.e they dismiss...
Of course, but then again, what is good? How can you guarantee that the good that your moral education teaches people actually creates a good bias? Wh...
Ok, then let's take a step back here. It may be that I experience you misinterpreting what I'm saying due to us not agreeing on clearer definitions. W...
Define what religious belief is? Is it a proven claim? A deduced conclusion? If something isn't proven or doesn't possess any internal logic, if it is...
This can be because I'm kind of advanced in the English language, but it is not my native tongue, so I can end up in semantic traps. When I say "thing...
I think you misinterpret what I've meant. It is not a project to force change onto society, it is a mental toolset that people have to evaluate by the...
:up: If politics become a polarized caricature of reality by either just being individuals or either just being one big collective, then so is the ide...
Why would people not be able to change? Have we not changed behaviors and ways of life, culturally, over decades and centuries based primarily in what...
I would ask the question, are there times when killing can be considered morally good? If so, does the grey nature of that morality make killing in vi...
Of course, I'm not saying that these mental tools are effective towards changing someone else's perspective and concepts, even though they are probabl...
As a follow-up to this, imagine your internal reasoning being a room, a gallery, where you stand in distance from your ideas and concepts that you try...
Would you agree that these glib answers and simplified polarization out of fear can arise out of the lack of philosophical approaches? Aren't they the...
I think that these are the result of either not listening to philosophers, misinterpreting them, or outright ignoring them in combination with enforci...
Since the dawn of writing, has not the pen been developed to be a better pen? A tool is constantly being improved upon and philosophy has undergone it...
In my own perspective, I view philosophy as a tool for expanding on concepts or ideas with a strategy of thought. It's a toolset of conceptualization ...
I would answer with practical probability. I act out of probability in every situation. Truth is that which has the highest of probabilities. It's the...
It's stuff like this that shows just how much can be extrapolated through scientific data and math and how "it's just a theory" by many anti-intellect...
A common practice is to exploit weaknesses of any kind. If not financial, then any type of threat of exposure towards something bad that the person ha...
Real recruitments of spies happens this way for much more severe actions by the one hired. In the docu series, the journalists actually get footage of...
The key thing was to point to the investigation that continues to show an increasing presence of this online and IRL. So it's not really the same "for...
As you can see, again, you are as always unable to understand the difference between a theory that concludes a deduction, and merely pointing towards ...
Did you read what I wrote? I’m observing a behavior, a rhetoric similar to these tactics. The problem is, as I pointed out, that what’s observed can b...
It's just an observation based on facts. These people exist, these people either get other people to believe them by spreading doubt about what is goi...
The most interesting thing is that a part of that documentary series dives into similar types of personalities who, when digging deep into their fundi...
I'm not going to read any more of your nonsense. You ignore looking at the investigation that I have been talking about and referred to this entire ti...
Sorry about that. But since Boethius will never stop changing other people's arguments into his random nonsense and then just rant on without ever add...
You are the one conducting conjecture. This is the problem, you seem unable to understand what others write and come off as deeply confused. They didn...
Some things survive and others not, it matters little since the religion isn't practiced anymore. Midsommar still means something to people, but it me...
By linking to a channel of a known conspiracy theorist and disinformation spreader. I failed to see the obviousness and the fact that you did kind of ...
