Psychopaths as I understand them are emotionless tyrants who just want to exploit others for their pleasure. The epitome of a serial killer. https://w...
Yes it does, it makes ALL the difference. Is hurting someone for one second the same as hurting someone for 302039493904005930495450694059604596 years...
So are you saying that love,sweetness,acceptance is useful in the sense of utility? I wouldn't disagree about that. Society functions on those sort of...
Oh really? So is hurting someone for one second the same as hurting someone for 302039493904005930495450694059604596 years? assuming they could live t...
What does this have to do with the OP, or was this a dig at my other thread on people's desires/wishes continuing on after they die? Because in the OP...
Matters of fact are not fallacious unless you make them. If the appreciation of beauty does depend on eternal existence then that would be a fallacy b...
You must be living under a rock then. That question is incredibly popular. Just type into google "why live if you are going to die?" and see the immen...
Very true but we do have pressure that is induced by family friends that make us ought to think we should attend university after school etc. I was sa...
Whether the robot wants to harm or has self preservation is irrelevant, because not wanting to cause harm and seeking self preservation IS NOT dependa...
Incase you haven't missed it, it can't be claimed to be who you are because YOU have no OWNERSHIP over it. I mean, sure you can influence it's decisio...
I guess that's really just a problem with semantics. What the realization of no self is, is that the "self" you once thought you were basically isn't ...
I don't see how knowledge of right/wrong is going to disprove free will. Think about a counter-example of a determined robot who doesn't want to harm ...
Ok cool thanks for breaking down that analogy further. So, what does Dennett have to say about unconscious choices dominating our free-will? Harris' h...
Yeah, of which Harris' has replied and showed how Dennett has misunderstood and misconstrued his statements by equivocation. This is a great one: http...
From when I read Sam Harris' book Free Will it seemed that the only way free will could be proven is for the owner of the choices to account for why h...
Have you tried psychedelics at low & high doses? I feel it is well established in the psychonaut community that meaning can only be found beyond the r...
that's a very good point Nils Loc. I guess it comes back to what I was saying earlier about their intention carrying forward. If everyone died on the ...
I thought we uncovered that what society deems appropriate or decent doesn't always hold ground in terms of the societies reasoning behind it. We have...
You're right that was interesting. But how is some 20th century african chicks immortal cancer cells relevant here? A person's mutated cells don't rea...
If i was to have sex with a piece of fruit, would that be unethical? But what a person will says on paper is different from an actual will that exists...
I am not concerned about law or culturally appropriate treatments unless they have something to say upon the reasoning for thinking or not thinking a ...
That is similar to how we dress up bodies for an open casket funeral, but we aren't really analysing the thread subject now are we? Unless you are try...
Your reply didn't address anything i said but just refuted it and said it is against common sense. Sorry Worset, not very good argumentation here mate...
No, just in the way we come to understand and engage with it. In that respect we observe the same pattern in our response to the physical world and kn...
Are we not doing the same with our morals? The detailed particular factual information about moral at all is surely overwhelmingly complex and particu...
seems like it "Women have in many patriarchal societies become the Other where properties - that is feminine attributes - are universally enforced as ...
I like the idea that the more girly a girl is the more submissive she will be to a man. While on the opposite end of the spektrum the more dikey a gir...
But you can say the same thing about knowledge in general. We claim to know how things work but in reality all we know is how this affects that and wh...
Didn't you get the message? that is besides the point. This has absolutely nothing to do with the percentage of female brick layers. Lol, how could yo...
yeah but that is besides the point. Just because there is one in the whole world doesn't negate the validity of what is said. The point is the ratio.....
