I like sushi

It is 6 years and I only said anything here as it seemed to be revived due to definition of 'Woman' in UK.

Point them out. If there are 'ambiguities' then clearly (or not) some may not. Exactly what do you have a problem with?

There are differences between sexes that matter and need to be taken into consideration when it comes to how we interact with each other. Sex is actua...

If you are interested I wrote some gibberish here: https://matthewroffey.substack.com/p/the-state-of-beauty-part-i?r=48ctos He viewed On the Aesthetic...

Far from universal meaning what? In less than 1% of cases? I guess you could try and argue that far less than 1% is "far from universal," but you woul...

To be fair, if men are going to do this they needn't 'dress up' for the occasion. If someone appears to be female then I see no real harm in them ente...

There are also people born with unique differences (ie. not being able to produce testosterone) that would effectively have them appear to be female. ...

It doe not matter what anyone thinks or believes. What you say and do has consequences.

Well, that is another related issue. I think it is perfectly fine for someone to be 'black' if they are actually 'white' ... it depends on the level y...

It is really quite simple. Trans women are trans women. Women are women. The problem arises in basic human interactions. If someone wishes to be refer...

Surprised anyone here looked at all. It is back up now (I just changed the name). If you leave the odd comment here (or anyone else) it does inspire m...

Q1: Nothing/anything. Q2: Irrelevant due to first answer. My point being rationality does not really have all that much to say about how to act. We si...

Food would be the main issue. If farmers do not know when to harvest and plant due to the breaking of regular patterns in the seasons then it could ca...

It says June in title. Were there submissions for previous competition I could read OR has this just been delayed?

Will post brief discussion we had a while back soon ...

Perfectly well.

So what is your actual line of inquiry here? You are explicitly asking about the use of metaphysics or its reality? The latter seems like a contrary q...

Is there something in the OP you wanted critique of specifically or is it just a whimsical view of the state of religion today for the sake of it? I d...

I think it makes sense to believe that they evolved together. The question is then which came first and what is meant by each. Personally I believe 'e...

No one is going to disagree with that.

Is there 'moral might' and does it win out over 'moral wrong'? If so how so? If not how not?

What moral facts?

@"Bob Ross" I am assuming you are not advocating for the idea of "might is right" but you can surely see that this is an issue. In concise terms how w...

We attribute values to things. We then necessarily attribute value to our sense of self. A "self" is needed to value. This seems massively too easy a ...

Just incase anyone is interested. I am looking to start writing philosophical papers for publication soon, so if anyone out there is affiliated with a...

What matters to you? If defining things matters to you why?

How well it can be enforced is neither here nor there for me. The principle is important. If people are not allowed to drink, vote or drive under a ce...

I think the situation is a bit more nuanced than that. The is clear and powerful manipulation online that children should probably not be exposed to a...

Good point. I heard someone saying recently about how we are the same with cars. In the past many people who owned a car had a reasonable understandin...

That gives me roughly 10 days ... maybe I will have a play, but probably not.

Has this been pushed back to Dec 15th?

Wow! Was five years ago! https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/8190/collaborative-criticism

I do this fairly regularly anyway. I tried to get something like this going some years back where people would write and critique each other's essays....

I would almost certainly take part, but I am assuming it would not be a rigorous essay? If so then I would actually prefer to send that to a journal.

I think it is simply a question of through what lens we are looking at any particular phenomenon. Phenomenologically there is no distinction, yet in e...

Nor would there be a God. We would just be left saying things are as they are.

Yeah, probably. Tedious though. If we pull the rug out from under our feet things get weird; or we ignore the effects! I believe my remark is more or ...

Well, given that Sartre is talking about radical doubt as being given to us only through time reference (something like Kant's intuitions I feel) ther...

,, To doubt is to doubt. It is somewhat contrary to suggest we 'rely on' doubt. What cannot be questioned cannot be appreciated. That is all there is ...

I sit with well founded and researched information. I listen and read plenty of weird ideas too. They do sometimes possess an element of truth but I a...

Honestly, it has been a common assumption for a long long time. The difference with Dunbar is he actually provides some form of hard evidence to back ...

Do they? Can you be sure that the objectives of military intervention are what is disclosed publicly?

It has propagated through time. There is nothing more to take away and certainly no indication that any evolutionary process (literally or as an analo...

The Memory Code is by Lynne Kelly too btw if you did not realise that. Funnily enough, if you are reading the Iliad you can probably see how it was or...

I quick review of Memory Theatre a novella by Simon Critchley

Have you ever had a mystical experience?

Ask someone living on the fringes of modern society who have no schedules dictated by clocks if they fear death or judgment after death. Or look into ...

If you only have the people around you to pass such judgments widen your circle to include those who have no concern for the day-to-day living of mode...

Some people have posed this is due to our days in the trees seeking out ripe fruit. Also, blue light makes subjective time run more quickly and red mo...
