He did suggest head chips, or becoming one with the AI to prevent becoming obsolete, which was consequentialist, I agree, but I'm not entirely sure th...
Yeah, he claimed that he doesn't even make minimum wage anymore, and only cares about the profitability of his ventures out of justifying their contin...
I think that he avoided consequentialism entirely. He was probed about it, about us not becoming an intersteller species because it would be bad for h...

Socrates denied that he was an atheist, as that didn't make any sense, as he was acting on what he heard that the Oracle of Delphi said about him, and...
"Completely agree. That is why I like Pierre Hadot’s work." Ah. Do you, like Hadot, think (as Socrates did) that philosophy is discussed in person, fa...
I would rather say that God is not only love, but also the truth. In the library of congress there is a statue of the Goddess of truth holding a mirro...

Feeling therapy is a good idea, it actually isn't very helpful to explain or point at the true cause, but what the hell? Eh? Ever see an MRI scan of s...
Christianity is based in grace though, not in deeds, not analysis, not even necessarily practice. It works for even the worst human beings. It's so ea...
There certainly is no technical reason as to why scripture doesn't count as authoritative philosophically (as if theology and religion isn't a philoso...
You said that Paul thought something, and then quoted someone else unattributed? Point being (seeing as Tertullian was versed in and influenced by sto...
