Yet, if the US rid themselves of this cancer and forms a new paradigm of politics with an exclusion of charlatans and the corrupt, they may return the...

In a timely manner to what I wrote, this thing popped up. While as a non-believer I don't ascribe to the religious and spiritual undertones, it speaks...

I see no difference between that and many self help strategies. Which is what I think is a problem with stoicism. It's easily adopted as methods for c...

Buddhist traditions, Shinto tradition, American Native traditions. After some searching there's also stuff like Neo-Druidism, Animism. For philosophy,...

I'd say that if it's studies about religion and theology in a intellectual, anthropological, sociological and historical way, it's not. But if it's a ...

Answering by each part my reflections on this In what way are we not part of it? How is scientific objectivity any different from someone stating "tha...

No, you provided anecdotal evidence, your personal experience. If you do not understand why this doesn't work, then you do not understand the basics o...

Why does the object move? How can it move if there's no dimension of time? The reason we experience time is entropy. As a particle goes from coherence...

Here's a deep dive historical look into what we risk by letting the US approach the state of being an oligarchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxNk7...

An argument needs support in evidence, otherwise an argument is just an opinion. It doesn't matter how logical it seems if its relying on conjecture a...

They don't have a clear leader, but they have a clear cause. But it isn't enough, just look at younger generations who don't care about protesting or ...

Here's a question... With how power-hungry and attention-seeking senators and politicians are, why isn't there republican politicians who take advanta...

And the part of the US who don't want this and oppose this will just sit there and take it? That's just lazy. When there's an actual takeover into aut...

But you provide no support for that explanation. I'm referring to predictive coding which has experimental verification. "My" predictive coding theory...

Oh, please can the name "orange poodle" spread online, it would anger that waste of space of a man so much.
February 21, 2025 at 14:03
That is not what I was saying. I said that the similarities are in how it disconnects or scramble the verification process in the brain. Making the br...

Which is why I've always proposed that political philosophers need to work on a successor to our current democracy. Something that begins with democra...

Not really true. If you take psychedelics you will be aware of the hallucinations being fake until a point you start to believe in it. It's similar to...

They don't care because they don't understand anything. That's how he got there in the first place. The majority of people who got him into office are...

Sure, but private actors can’t hold it, and I think a certain reserve gets more “popular” if both the private and government sectors can hold capital....

Don't bother with him, he's a zealot. I think this thread would be much better if people just ignored his rants. We have to endure the constant spam o...

It should be able to, especially the high end models. It all depends a bit on how the prompt and conversation with it is. Best is to feed it actual PD...

Yes, here's my entire post on that for reference. Interesting enough, it seems Canada is warming up to the idea of approaching EU for further collabor...

If this comes with even the slightest religious indoctrination of children it's not a good thing. The "teachings" that are positive defenses against a...

I don’t know. At least military action has obvious counter-actions and power plays that are quantifiable. This entanglement into every corner of globa...

It can also change slowly by more unnoticeably exchanging currency into something else. And only after a more broad overview will it be obvious that n...

Which region and currency could be considered more stable going forward? Canadian dollar? The Euro? It could very well be that the Canadian dollar tak...

It is a proven equation. I don't know what the issue or question is about? It's true because it's proven, not because anyone thinks it is or is not.

Since many aren't academics in philosophy and we've not had any rules of essay formatting for this forum, are there any good sources of inspiration fo...

I'd say this would be more interesting as we would get two perspectives on a similar topic.
February 14, 2025 at 12:01
It’s a nice idea. Rather than a geographic union, form a union based on how corrupt or non-corrupt a democracy you have. Democracies with low corrupti...

I’ve asked about it previously and it seems so. Rather than being a thread of discussion it’s just a propaganda channel for Trump evangelism. Not sure...

Sounds very fascist to me. Installing fear and sacking people who oppose him. A fascist, slowly restructuring government into an oligarchy. Building h...

I don't even know why people are still there. Why it's still used as some official channel for many officials and celebrities. There's been a surge to...

Don't... it's like a bottomless maelstrom for ships of rational people to drown in.

Search around for long enough to get the algorithm going and you will be flooded with zealot influencers popping up everywhere. He bought Twitter and ...

"...as a cult leader" If you look at the way people follow him, it's the same kind of cult behavior as with MAGA. The psychology is the same as with a...

He's as unstoppable as a cult leader. He's good at optimizing production efficiency, like playing a strategy game in which a certain type of optimizat...

The narrative that's going to be presented is the kind of deep state bullshit or stuff like that about some group "trying to push DEI propaganda" as a...

No one can be moral like this in these times. All companies fracture tentacles out into all kinds of directions. You can use Linux, but I'd bet some r...

He can't because his a far-right ideological zealot who buys into the pseudo-intellectual narratives that's been spewed out by the rightwing influence...

I think trying to label people as some definite type usually backfires. Just because something is greyish doesn't mean it's not bad. Musk probably isn...

Which is why I think it's important to know why he's an über-rich, sociopathic, racist provocateur. We can't criticize and fight labels; they are inca...
