Right, gotta love when people state their opinions without providing any reasoning or logic behind it, especially twice or three times in a row. lol. ...
Thanks for taking the time to read through it ;) I wanted to give both sides of the argument because truths sometimes isn't absolute and can be bipola...
It just angers me too, they think their self-righteousness is actually a doorway past intelligence, that they don't need it. In fact what ends up happ...
Well it was coupled with the psychological evidence provided. You can't argue against facts bitter crank. There have been friendly people with humble ...
Granted subjects aren't inherently deep but how can you even know that since you are bound to subjectivity? You can't say "philosophical ideas are con...
So you are saying deep thought doesn't exist and there is essentially no difference in content between a childrens tv show and a university lecture......
So every person who has a tendency towards deep thought is a snob trying to promote the snobbery of their personal interests? That doesn't seem very a...
Wow, I didn't expect to hear a very concise and accurate description of this considering your post in my other thread: "Your pathetic attempts at insu...
Yes, I agree but there is a difference between identifying your place in nature and outright claiming you are lord zapikof from planet ubiquitos or th...
I did read that and found now evidence to conclude that transgenderism is somehow beneficial in terms of genetic variation. Do you have any examples o...
Yes but it says nothing about the principle that is occurring here. It is delusional thinking to claim you are something you are not and we all saw wh...
Ok, that is a good point I have to concede that reproduction is not the be all and end all in our CURRENT society. But I also belief we should all be ...
Really? I think by definition if someone feels icky to physically interact with a clearly transgendered person then it means they think there is somet...
Thanks for being earnest and agreeing with me, you call it as it is. I had a debate about political correctness on here which discussed this in much d...
I can see why you would say that, but I am just talking about practicality here. I am not saying what is natural is best but what is most practical is...
Who you are means what you physically are. If you are a human you can't say you are an octopus without pretending to be one. If you are a female, you ...
Well, I by no means want to cause offense, I just want to investigate how I might be wrong in my thinking here. What do you think about what I said ab...
This is the politically correct opinion, which I don't agree with. How can you say down syndrome is only a "deviation from the norm"? It is a downrigh...
So are you talking about my fathers desire to ejaculate inside my mother? As that would be the purpose of the agent (my father) who chose to bring me ...
Right, but this isn't OUR agency. It is the agency of something of which we have no control over and are not a part of (the unconscious brain). We are...
Is that a hyperbole? Because there is a chance but a slim one. What would be the case though if you constantly kept encountering scenarios where you f...
I am partially a solipsist but am still unconfirmed on the nature of physical reality yet to just subscribe my self to a 100% belief pattern like fool...
Good fucking point! No I don't. He is sitting there all handsome and loath and then finds out he wins the lottery. He thinks "Oh that is just my one m...
What? This is the first time you said anything about making children. Don't get me wrong, I love talking about making children... especially the makin...
There could be purpose both ways. If it was created by agency then it would be akin to what willowofdarkness says "To think in terms of living for a p...
Ok, I say that I was conflating the two categories now. Thanks I wouldn't call the libet experiment "speculation". It indicates our actions are driven...
No. Those in glass houses... It is by NOT wanting to attain, achieve that they find their success, their "nirvana". It comes when they give up complet...
You claim it is false but don't provide any reasoning as to why. It is not a trivial point because if you ask anyone on the street what their purpose ...
Is "several" a hyperbole? because I only made 2 points in my OP and I don't ever remember being told how they were flawed in truth (of which I would l...
where did I say that? You keep talking as if you know what the purpose of life is, when quite clearly in the post YOU QUOTED ME ON I was saying that w...
It is not a trivial point because if you ask anyone on the street what their purpose of life is they will claim it to be pleasure: my wife, my kids, f...
I didn't think we were questioning whether purpose is necessary or sufficient but whether it exists at all. My statement was asking whether a good lif...
That fact seems to go in my favor, for if there is no one without a brain at all how can they say what it is like to not have a brain and be dead? The...
What is the purpose of life daddy? To learn to feel ever more subtly and deeply of course. But why daddy? Well because it enhances our lives. But why ...
That is just saying our purpose is to going on towards going on towards going on at the same time caring for our biosphere. Why are we here daddy? to ...
Well it wasn't a purpose that I was given but which nature gave to me, I thought that was implicit in what I actually said before you quoted me out of...
Yeah, unfortunately what happens then is that people mistake genuine spiritual practices with New Age woo woo so no one ends up looking in to spiritua...
It is all easier said than done. The chaotic mind wants to stay chaotic. If you offer it peace it will decline (the reason why meditation still isn't ...
I know exactly what you are talking about and think about it daily. This seems to enhance the questioning of what to live for though. Imagine if you c...
You are reading me too literally. You have to see the correlation and NOT the literal transcription of what I wrote. I was saying that to claim pleasu...
That is a good post. It seems living for your career is mosten often like a mouse-wheel which once you get off at 60 or in a mid-life crisis you begin...
Correlation is not causation, there is still huge debate over whether the brain gives rise to conscious state. Don't act as if your position is fact w...
