Really? I thought scientists were more bigoted than philosophers. A lot of science types I have met seem to think that we can know everything there is...

Shouldn't we be discussing that Pussy IS Really a Source for Meaningful Life and Optimism? Sorry... I meant "relationships"?

This is what I was saying to you the other day about all facts being an interpretation but yet you still disagreed with me. You insisted you were 6-fo...

You assume truth is objective. If I perceive something truthfully then that means as close to a true subjective interpretation as possible, nor marred...

But how do you appreciate it for what it is without preconceived notions about what it is, what you expect and where it sits in with those expectation...

Yes and as I said that is "something we all do as humans" but I am not "OVERLY critical or judgemental". If someone twitches, has tendency to be aggre...

lol, true but domestication = no suffering because genetic brainwashing forces dogs at least in to enjoying the protection and affection. As far as I ...

Can't that be said for all academia though? Usually after you studied you are so specialized that it makes no sense to make it public to people becaus...

Because you have to interpret what 6 foots means, you have to interpret what the visual image of you are. There is observable phenomena, and the repea...

Did anyone mention that Decartes used to torture animals because he didn't believe they had "consciousness"?

If you want to say it is wrong to subject other creatures (even of lower intelligence) to imprisonment then you might as well have to disagree with ho...

If a more intelligent/rational being encapsulated me in a zoo, would it be worse than we imprisoning lower creatures you mean? Isn't that what the ear...

Whut? but there was a reply/? Prove to me facts aren't just interpretations.

By physical do you think he means external instead? Physical substance isn't really physical afaik and doesn't exist how we think it does, so how coul...

It's used in politics mainly https://twitter.com/hashtag/posttruth

Objective facts can't be changed, only the interpretation of them can. At least as far as physicalism is concerned. It should rather be called anti-tr...

You really have a bad habit of saying simple things while thinking that they are easily understood. This is a forum and sentences can have multiple me...

Yes, Is everything futile?

I don't like how they use the word truth to define something that is a falsehood, even if there is a "post" before it. The term Post-Modernism denotes...

From what I can see in western society people HATE philosophy! They only want to talk and "deep and meaningfuls" with the ones they love at very speci...

:D haha! Explain plz why you no like the analytic philosophy?

I see this trend in many others areas of philosophy. A categorical distinction between words that describe simple, practical, dependant and finite pro...

That is a pretty simple statement, so vague it has many interpretations.

So if there was no mind to think of unicorns, how would they think about them? AFAIK unicorns are imaginary and imagination is a product of the mind. ...

Cool post. Is not that something that you set out to do ultimately futile though? Seeing as it was futile before as a default state, then you begin yo...

So I could say back to them "Life is not futile, but it is absurd". Because life is useful to me if I am to enjoy living. Is that circular though? Yes...

Trust me friends, don't knock it until you've tried it!

Yes it does. That is like saying the letter Z doesn't have anything to do with philosophy even though it used to say "zombie". Likewise, if you have a...

It's more of a way to quickly tell someone: Yes I agree with you or That was excellently written

No I don't think so. People are not that bad come on...

Naaaaah, as long as you have a downvote option as well. What really fuels ego is people tongue in check response and edgy attitudes that force people ...

Whaaat? That is such bullshit. They used to have it on The PF before it went buggy. I would like to hear the arguments against it, cant think there wo...

We probably don't disagree, we both know what practicality is when we see it. Whether or not something is useful is dependant upon the use of the thin...

What about if they lie about it? Women tend to do that a lot. "whats wrong?" -> "nothing"

The rule is taken with a grain of salt, it assumes everyone doesn't want to be hurt in anyway and deserves basic human rights. I have criticized it's ...

I already did, you missed it because you think that what is true at one period is true is true exclusively of that period even despite later evidence ...

tis if it's fate. and tis if it wasn't... as time is a sequence, your efforts are measured in terms of what you receive because of them. If you receiv...

Non-existence can't have value placed on to it, as it is not a thing. It just is. I thought not existing would be the default.

Yes because you have become jaded with age. That is the downside to certain forms of maturity... I bet a 13 yr old laughs A HELL of a lot more than yo...

Yes but if you follow all those examples to the end of their purposes (i.e. but what is the purpose of? and what is the purpose of that etc on and on)...

Yes, I build a new farm shed and spend hours thinking that the materials are useful. Once finished I realize I am bankrupt and someone set fire to the...
