Somehow? We have spectrometers that define the color spectrum. We can conclude that if someone defines a color different to other people and to result...
You see a blue pen. Someone says it's green. There's a definition of blue by measuring the spectrum of light bouncing from that blue pen. The spectrum...
If the argument is solid it's the argument that decides. This has been answered many times to you, but I'm starting to believe you don't know what a r...
Did the suffering lead to the individual growing a further understanding of life and gave them tools to tackle life in a way that is better than befor...
Because it's based on facts outside of Bill's and Joe's opinions, biases, and past down doctrines. That's why. If so, Joe might think the conclusion i...
Kind words are rare, thank you! And this is the challenge really. I think that a balanced and strong moral compass comes out of a balanced life in whi...
Deduction, making a rational and reasonable argument bypass disagreement. No, deduction bypass personal opinion, that's the point. If the deduction of...
By deduction of what the speech is saying. Or are you not able to break down what someone is saying to find if it's based on rational ideas or if it's...
Point 1 is, therefore, pointing out that harmful speech isn't about hurting a specific person. By deduction of the validity of what someone says is me...
It's more of a starting point. As I mentioned, an evolving form is the most optimal form. But I would say that your example is an example of when it's...
It's only impossible to handle the balance of free speech vs harmful speech if you handle it as a binary system. If you are able to accept things to b...
No, it's not. You are taking one part of my text out of context and doesn't read into the nuances of the entirety of it. This is usually the way these...
Maybe that went into somewhat of a fallacy, but I think the general note is that people talk a lot about objective meaning to life or similar, but the...
The difference is that no scientist is saying that they are the truth. Because they are only hypotheses. Popular media have distorted these ideas into...
Can you see into the future? Do you know that humanity will never be able to prove them? Isn't that an assumption that demands you to know a lot of th...
They have a foundation in already proven theories and facts. They are hypotheses. Just like I said the Higgs Boson field and Gravitational waves were ...
A hypothesis is a qualified guess not yet proven. That is not the same as the type of guesswork that apologists do when trying to use philosophical ar...
It is sound, in describing that something must be the first cause of all the causality. It doesn't prove anything else than that. But one could argue ...
Scientific causes are based in hypotheses and theories and no one of them is concluding anything to be true. Faith and religion settle down with it be...
The video is deconstructing the argument in detail much better than me transcribing it here. If you really want an explanation on why the argument fai...
And you can't conclude a conclusion that doesn't have anything to do with the actual conclusion of the argument. Assumptions about what the conclusion...
According to your idea of what is meaningful? That is not an objective of what is meaningful, that is your own definition and cannot be applied to the...
Objective meaning can only exist if you can prove it to exist. It's like proving the existence of God. The burden of proof requires you to prove there...
This topic is a hot potato that should be a healthy meal of discussion since it's one of the most important topics of our current times. I think that ...
Why would meaning or purpose be of divine status when it objectively doesn't exist? Then again, why would we even define trivialities to be the meanin...
I think you are viewing determinism through the eyes of a human, meaning that you can't perceive the small causes and effects that in the end define t...
It's only a waste of time if the discussion is about pitching these values against each other. One could argue that you could do a normal dialectic ab...
There's overwhelming logical rationality to the conclusion that an objective meaning of life doesn't exist. So that leaves automatically the subject o...
This is not an argument for reincarnation. You say that our energy is our life force, it's not, it's just energy, as any other. It has no consciousnes...
No. This is a misunderstanding of how energy works. If you use your body energy to slide your palms together, the energy becomes heat energy and this ...
It was a corruption of Nietzsche's ideas. And it's an unnecessarily loaded question fallacy that muddies the argument of creating your own meaning in ...
The biological process of renewal of cells does not erase the information of the previous cells. It's essentially a copy. If you use the Ship of These...
@"Paul24": There is no purpose to life. It's the consequence of billions after billions of random dead matter clashing together into chemical reaction...
Why are you putting one person's meaning against another? Hitler might have felt a sense of meaning for himself, but why should that be set to a stand...
I think that a definition of the word "meaning" would be needed because I don't see any meaning in evolution. As I said, it's a function that, as you ...
Evolution is just the function of our existence. It's the form we have in the universe, just as a star convert hydrogen into helium and later dies, th...
How can I entertain a question that is essentially impossible to answer? I can answer with what I might think is a subjective meaning of life, a meani...
What event has a 50/50 chance that is purely random? If you flip a coin, all the parameters of flipping the coin determine the outcome. Just because y...
In determinism, everything is essentially luck. But to be able to reward, we need to measure the amount of work that led up to the achievement. If you...
It cannot be, because there isn't any objective meaning. No argument can support any meaning of life without being biased to our own existence. We mea...
This has been a notion for many years but it's simplified and overused by people not knowledgable in psychology. It's like the Jung personality spectr...
IQ measures the ability to function in problem-solving. It also measures the ability to adapt. You can have low IQ and learn a lot of information, but...
Antinatalism is like when you take a philosophical conviction and stand by its extreme form without challenging it. It's utilitarianism taken to the e...
No, it's a misunderstanding of the actual biological science behind how our cells work. And be careful taking everything Peterson says as any kind of ...
Are you saying that the mechanics of making Lenin and Stalin into deity-like figures, following hard doctrines and mantras to make enemies of those wh...
Why does that scare you? Because you are religious? Or because you fear the consequences of religion in our world? I think the latter has already been...
People invent explanations when they can't explain things. Science and logical reasoning is a rather modern method and falsifiability was included in ...
