Well, I'll be damned. Finally. You are of course welcome to share your thoughts in any way you like. Personally, I like to structure this analysis muc...
Hyper-hypocrisy more like. A naive sort of "morality" (I get a foul taste in my mouth even calling it that). Where "anti-racists" make every possible ...
When I was younger I used to spend a lot of time behind a computer screen. I still do, but I have balanced it with other activities. Playing video gam...
One must confront these thoughts, instead of attempting to banish or avoid them through medication or otherwise. Spend time in contemplation, or even ...
Most of it is. There's defnitely not enough cooperative behavior that is motivated by selflessness to justify the claim that morality is a trait inher...
Human beings cooperate because going at it alone means missing out on all the things the collective provides. It has nothing to do with morality. The ...
I sense that your dislike of Trump causes you to seek explanations that confirm he is stupid or childish. Personally I think that is rather naive. The...
Truly moral and virtuous people are exceedingly rare. Most people live in such comfort that there is little incentive to be immoral, but given a littl...
I'll wager an educated guess. Scenario 1: The proposed retaliation was never meant to take place, but the threat of it was a way to gauge internationa...
It sounds like 'evolutionary humanism' tries to rationalize philanthropy. Sadly, that is not how nature works. The good do not "thrive", at least not ...
Man is not inherently selfish or insecure. Such suggestions are nothing but an excuse for people who choose to behave in a certain way, often as a res...
Why doesn't the "poor" farmer grow food for himself, if his fear is starvation? Because his fear is not starvation, he desires profit. One is so accus...
It is often suggested that laborers from low-income countries are victims, but this foregoes the fact that they work for low wages voluntarily. Why? B...
There are many important questions that science and logic cannot answer. Still people require answers to these questions and thus have to use differen...

"Exterminate" seems like an interesting choice of words. I'm not sure what to think of that. What is your view on the chapter? What does it mean and h...
Not "can't", but "haven't" and "don't" (exceptions notwithstanding). What about your opinion on men raising children, then? What about my second argum...
If you look out of a window in any big city, the vast, vast majority of what you see was invented, designed and built by men. That, and without men's ...
Humanity is obsessed with its own extinction. The end of days has been prophesied countless times in the past and yet here we are. I suppose this kind...

These experiences are often called profound, or even life-changing. It's not a choice, because you seem to have made up your mind in advance. I unders...
