You suffer from mental illness right? How do you make the distinction between suffering from mental illness, and the suffering from philosophy? It see...

I asked what YOU think atheism means, not anything about atheists you know and how they may or may not describe themselves...or about how you choose t...

You havent demonstrated a very deep understanding of the word, certainly your use of “CLEARLY” Is erroneous here. If it was clear from the epistemolog...

He means all the things you necessarily “agree” to by being alive. I think he might even include All the things you might experience aa well, if press...

Indeed, you need to shop around for the right person. And try a range of meds and see what works best. My aunt is schizophrenic, and was pretty hopele...

Were you addressing me with that last comment, cuz I didnt mean to say we have “keep going” in our DNA, even though we probably do. I was making a dif...

Are you getting professional help?
February 03, 2020 at 23:27
I don’t buy that at all. There are plenty of people “we” don’t need, and plenty of people that are not interdependent on plenty of other people. Also,...

I suspect there are 2 main reasons people do not want other people to “give up” ( a bit unclear how expansively you mean that). The first is social co...

Alright, well you’ve successfully wasted my time so kudos if that was your goal but we are done here.
January 26, 2020 at 18:46
Thats not an explanation, nor in any way demonstrative of your claim. I suspect you know this...you bored or something I guess?
January 26, 2020 at 18:39
You are claiming its true, you have to explain why.
January 26, 2020 at 18:25
No, you are the one making a claim, its up to you to demonstrate why your claim is true or why we should accept that its true.

The moral reasons they have is not “immigration policy”. Immigration policy is political, its not a strictly moral consideration. I think “they” would...
January 16, 2020 at 14:17
Im finding it difficult to parse your point here... It seems like you want to know if the justification they use is valid or not, weighing it against ...
January 16, 2020 at 00:24
What do you mean by contrasting “moral” and “right” in your question? Is “right” meant to mean “moral”? Or do you intend it to mean something more lik...
January 15, 2020 at 14:09
You must have meant to respond to someone else.
January 12, 2020 at 21:27
I don’t know why that was addressed to me. What do you think any of that has to do with anything I’ve said?
January 12, 2020 at 19:02
Well math isnt something that has always existed. “”Always existed” is problematic, but even without that math is a man made description and/or a mode...
January 12, 2020 at 06:05
Ok. It sounds to me like its taken you towards deterministic ideas, that ideas and actions are already laid out somehow and they are just waiting for ...
January 11, 2020 at 16:40
It depends on what you mean by “everything”. Some things by their nature cannot exist prior to our Ability to “see” it. Are you taking a roundabout ro...
January 11, 2020 at 08:56
Ok. What about it exactly?
January 11, 2020 at 07:56
Knowledge isnt something that can be discovered, it is something you have as the result discovering something. Knowledge results from discovery, but t...

I described some of what defines TDS in my post to Brett, but Im choosing not to directly answer your charge because A) Its a plain attempt to put wor...
January 09, 2020 at 06:35
Again, I think you have it right on the money. Indulging the outrage, leaning into the division with selective reasoning and shamelessly mischaracteri...
January 09, 2020 at 06:17
I think you’re spot on here. Trump derangement syndrome, like religion, makes even normally smart people into dogmatic morons. No middle ground, no ro...

Am I wrong in my assessment that you do not trust him or his information? Also, what is it about his view you do not understand?
December 25, 2019 at 14:54
I see. Apologies, I grouped you in where I should not have. Also, you realise the Russians also spread disinformation from the left as well right? Rus...
December 25, 2019 at 14:52
Ive finally caught up on the thread, and aside from being disappointed in myself for bothering Ive also become curious as to what any of you are getti...
December 25, 2019 at 00:35
Im not sure the relevance of a). What I see as relevant is what connotation the word has as intended by the user. If an inoffensive word becomes offen...
December 18, 2019 at 16:50
You got alot wrong in that so its hard to see where to respond. (Not necessarily your fault, you said I might look at my phrasing as the source of con...

Words are not ideology, the freedom to use whatever terms the scientist feels appropriate is not the same as the freedom to introduce ideology into sc...

Swearing isnt the issue, its silly to be offended by swear words. If there is a problem, its rudeness/lack of etiquette. Take these two sentences: “Yo...
December 16, 2019 at 15:57
Im comfortable with the information I already have, and put very little stock in such a source anyway. No offence, but I am not interested in this ped...
December 16, 2019 at 07:31
There you go again, the false dichotomy of either you are right, or Trump is a great man. Not the only two choices in assessing the man, not at all. T...
December 16, 2019 at 01:12
That wasnt very convincing, sorry. So you think that anyone who doesnt think Trump is extremely and unusually evil is dumb or ignorant? No one of at l...
December 15, 2019 at 23:05
Im not familiar with your system of measuring where he is on the spectrum so its hard to answer your question. For myself, id reserve “evil” for the m...
December 15, 2019 at 21:42
Thats a false dichotomy, that because Trump is mot a good man, that he is an evil man. Surely you recognise a sprectrum?
December 15, 2019 at 20:53
Ok, I understand.
December 14, 2019 at 21:57
...ok then you are saying you have a coherent account of all thought and belief, aren’t you?
December 14, 2019 at 20:39
So its an ideal, not something you actually have or use, but something you strive for?
December 14, 2019 at 20:18
So you are claiming you have a coherent account of ALL thought and belief?
December 14, 2019 at 20:03
“Universal criterion”, built upon “all thought and belief”, taking account of something in its entirety before being aware of it...pretty much that wh...
December 14, 2019 at 19:20
Whats perplexing to me is terms like “acceptable”, which I take to mean nothing less will do, its your minimum standard and it doesnt even seem possib...
December 14, 2019 at 18:11
So...your philosophy? Are you claiming to have achieved this standard with your own philosophy then? Your philosophy is all this: “One that is rendere...
December 14, 2019 at 17:58
You didnt answer the question sir. What are some things that you have this kind of account for?
December 13, 2019 at 23:04
That seems like an incredibly high standard of whats “proper”. What are some things you have this kind of account of?
December 13, 2019 at 22:53
Why are you using math if you reject its rules? Its like you are fishing, and your friend catches a fish and says “i caught the biggest fish, 3 feet!”...
December 13, 2019 at 21:35
Ok, and what is meant by “properly”?
December 13, 2019 at 21:15
Can you elaborate on what you think this broad consensus is? I think most people would agree you can take some sort of self account of thoughts and be...
