I like sushi

Yes. That has been a common trend for a long time. The ‘fairer’/‘weaker’ sex. Undoubtedly there are many hang ups still around that propagate these id...

It depends. I would actually say that being ‘Chinese’ is a cultural item rather than a biological one. Being ‘Chinese’ is not genetic as someone born ...

AI would choose the one they wish to suffer the most I imagine. A lone human is no longer ‘human’ they are just a defunct dead-end doomed to misery an...

If you were serious and you cannot fathom why that comment is ‘sexist’ then you clearly have no idea what ‘sexism’ is. You are not stupid though and k...

You jokingly viewed males and lesser than females. I was joking in my response too … unless you were serious?

Very sexist.

There are differences between feminine and masculine, but those are not the same as male and female. In psychological terms there are differences but ...

Of course not. It is outdated and useless.

My knowledge of myself is both infinite and out of reach. ‘Knowledge’ for me is just ‘that which is under scrutiny’. ‘Pure Knowledge’ is that which I ...

I would prefer higher quality content. Who wouldn’t? It is what is … a ‘stepping stone’, at best, onto other things, a pool of boredom and squalor at ...

Bertrand Russell’s ‘A History of Western Philosophy’ is one well trod route so probably worth adding to the other suggestions too. Honestly though, I ...

Welcome to your own personal struggle with the age old ‘existential crisis’. Life is. The rest is blind speculation that’s sometimes dressed up as ‘me...

Then they must exist in some capacity surely? Just because I cannot hold the number 1 in my hand it does not mean it exists it only means it has no vi...

What is meant by ‘good’ and ‘ethics’ are questions meta ethics deals with. It is not a means of prescribing or judging one view or another, just askin...

It literally has to be as we are social creatures prone to self-deception and continually checking our own behaviour in various situations. Self-prese...

If abstractions like words do not exist then this debate is non-existent. If that is how we are using the term ‘exist’ (another abstract I should add)...

Pre-language children (under a year old) react to inanimate objects appearing to ‘attack’ each other. I am sure you would agree that base emotions are...

The Master Servant dichotomy will exist to some extend always and there will always be those that serve more than others. Democracy at work (a 'true' ...

None of them fit for me either but they did at least ask for closest answer.

Oh, sorry. I did not read your definitions properly. I guess my answer still fits ‘roughly’

Sounds like convoluted rubbish. I think I have the gist though. It is a tail-eating-snake kind of problem. In a highly ‘structured social environment’...

Thanks for insight. I might look into it one day. As is my initial impression is that this is probably something that will not appeal to me as it look...

You could have probably started by saying ‘political/social schizophrenia’ and then stated that you meant this ‘figuratively, symbolically and literal...

If you cannot offer a reasonably concise definition when asked I am not really interested. Sorry.

I would honestly like a clearer definition of this ‘political/social schizophrenia’ … I will read around a bit but in the OP there is not a definition...

No. Look at the link I gave above your post. It is not really up for debate. He had no ‘language’ and managed to cross a border and get a job working ...

As in the written/spoken/signed words used here for example? No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_Without_Words

I am not sure how long I could stomach ‘living’ (afterliving or otherwise). 200 years? 500? Maybe I could stretch to 1000 but I doubt I would tolerate...

I would hope I never entered it and just dissipated - that is if it entailed ‘eternity’. No thank you! An end is meaningful eternity is nothing.

You mention Rome. Does ‘Rome’ exist and in what capacity does it exist? Does the term ‘exist’ exist? I have never held ‘exist’ in my hand (imagined or...

If I was to answer your question more or less as I think you meant it then the probable truth would be that I would meddle a lot and be rather tyranni...

The OP describes my life so I guess I would just continue as normal. I am Alpha and Omega. The ‘world’ is my ‘creation’. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are just sil...

This is where I side with the Phenomenology of Husserl and stop worrying about such questions :D

I meant Ethics will be viewed as Phrenology is today not meta ethics. I am deadly serious but understand that I am somewhat on the fringes. Ethics is ...

@"ToothyMaw" The points in the OP are pointless.

Justification is irrelevant because claim of higher morality is immoral. It is nothing more than pretending actions and reasons for actions are not pr...

The only ‘right’ thing we can do is acting as we see fit rather than bending to the will of others mindlessly. In that sense we can hardly ever judge ...

It is possible to communicate with more than words. It is impossible to paint a picture of ‘and’ and have anyone recognise it as ‘and’ without literal...

If that is the rule you wish to use, yes. If not then maybe not. Convention exists because it appears to be functional for us not because it is some u...

ALL truth claims are workable within set parameters. If murder is bad - as the very meaning of murder is that of a certain kind of killing that is bad...

Ethics is unethical and morals are immoral.

Both equally likely. Humans will always push the limits of their understanding even if it rocks the boat. As for ‘struggling’ as opposed to ‘paradise’...

You must be stupid or simply trolling. I never said “unduly”. Like I said, nothing more to discuss. Bye bye

I can see you are a moron now. Thanks :)

Torture is not a positive term. If you cannot except that there is no room for discussion because you are not speaking the kind of English I am famili...

Torture can be ‘right’ but it is never ‘good’ or we would not call it ‘torture’. Why is that so hard to grasp? That was my point about the OP.

You mean ‘right’ or ‘correct’? Which is ‘right’? Both. Which is ‘correct’ neither.

Probably because people with the same kind of views tend to gravitate towards each other. Point being it can be very dangerous to assume what everyone...

Why are you asking? My point was that ‘torture’ is not something people regard as ‘right’ or it would be called something else like ‘hugging’. The OP ...

Speaking for myself I do not avoid such thoughts at all. Maybe a good number of people do? I have no data to suggest most do or do not. From personal ...
