...and where do the Saudi's get that money from in the first place? If you follow the money trail, we are all responsible really as we buy the oil. Wh...

Here in the UK, to 'Trump' is another word for expelling hot air from one's bottom...

The obsession with buying up property or keeping property purely as an investment doesn't help. There are over half a million empty properties in the ...

What if consciousness has always been there? i.e. there is no such such thing as nothing (or total vacuum). Maybe everything has come from that cosmic...

I have wondered whether the whole universe is like a hologram. One particle but creating almost infinate wave patterns. Our brains are very good at jo...

Anything which is fun is good. We don't have to analyse the #%÷$ out of it...but that can be fun too.

Math metal but I was brought up on Rachmaninoff, Procofiev and alike. Love Djent. Shattered Skies, Hactivist at the moment.

Things move on. I was with the biggest Canal forum in the UK. Then it started to become overmoderated to the point they banned any discussion of polit...

Ha ha. Aren't we all our favorite phylosophers? One of the reasons I didn't study philosophy formally is that I had a problem trusting us humans (incl...

My current thinking is that our brain (and body) is a tool for growing the higher consciousness which we are all connected to. I also think our consci...

Oops...sorry, I think I've got the wrong forum...

Or if you can play an instrument, join a band. Oh no, you wanted to make an income didn't you...

I say old chap, that's rather below the belt and just not cricket. I reckon it would be quite entertaining to discuss phylosophy over a video conferen...

Responding to the OP. If we are all part of one consciousness, then maybe we can prevent all these bad experiences happening in the future by appealin...

If you believe there is no world beyond your experience then why have I just experienced your post? Unless I am just a figment of your imagination, or...

As I was suggesting in the next paragraph of that post, pain is used as a guide. To nudge us in the right direction if you like. The point is we can s...

Yes, I agree that the carrot/stick analogy doesn't sit well on it's own. It does blomin' feel like it sometimes though. I think inspiration is also a ...

I learnt most of my philosophy in the pub...cheers...

To be fair I wasn't trying to cover everything...lol. Actually just to mention that I don't pretend to know any answers (that would be dangerous). I a...

But then everyone would see my body language and what an ugly old git I am. :)

The answer is usually in the middle. We are a product of those we come in contact with during our lives. However, we do choose which traits to pick up...

Depends what you mean by not getting out of trouble. In some peoples minds, being punished by being put into jail (for example) just makes them feel l...

A word of warning. Many years ago I met someone who genuinely believed in a deterministic universe and that everything was fate and we had no free wil...

Sorry, how do you embedd links here?

Absolutely. I couldn't agree with you more.

I wouldn't worry. Body language still speaks volumes more than written or spoken language

I would guess that those who have a problem with the idea of a deterministic universe are very egotistical. :-) ...but as I said, I think we do have s...

We definitely have some free choice. We can chose where we focus our consciousness. Even pain can be reduced or amplified by focus. For example how ma...

Hi, newbie here. My thougts... Nothingness doesn't exist. The concept of nothingness is really something we invented to deal with gaps in our own cons...
