I like sushi

It will as long as we are human. Spirituality emcompasses secular activities too, like in dance or music. Art is a very significant part of what it is...

In logical terms it is just like saying "banana fruits are fruits". I see no big deal with this. The context is clear enough itis just that people hav...

Of course. There are bad actor for and bad actors against. I do not really see what the big deal is, but can easily imagine how someone or more conser...

I will never fully understand what it is to be a human. I still have views and opinions about humanity and humans though. It is contentious due to bad...

Fine. I imagine in your circles people make a clearer distinction in speech between female and woman. If not, and when speaking to strangers, then I w...

Many chairs are plastic and many many chairs are wooden. Women almost always refers to females. I colloquial speech utterances like 'a woman in the wo...

Not really a fair analogy. I chair must be wooden, plastic or made from a non-precious metal; and made from gold would be more fitting statistically. ...

I am still kind of confused what you are trying to get out of this thread. A clear question. A hypothetical. Something to get our teeth into. What kin...

Jungian ideas would relate to what you are talking about then?

So are you saying that most people around the world when someone says woman they do not imagine a female? This is clearly bogus. I do imagine you mean...

The main criticism I can see being directed at you here is that you are veering away from the usual academic usage of the term 'gender'? That is main ...

I have only engaged here because I can well imagine a whole bag of tirades on the horizon when it comes to altering humans (CRISPR, AI and Robotics). ...

Can you expand on this and offer up some kind of example (hypothetical if necesary). Thanks :)

Yes. There are degrees where spaces are open to trans women that are open to women. There are contexts where trans women are not allowed in spaces (as...

Your choice of words. I was just rehashing what you said. I originally said: Hopefully you now understand what I mean above. That biology does play a ...

I am saying that due to biological traits people are neccesarily ordered into social categories. Males fight because they are stronger, and thus a soc...

What do you think I was saying here? Use your head. Be charitable in how you interpret what is being argued. This is not a guessing game. I imagine bo...

You know what I am saying. You are just playing an evasion game now.

You would not consider that biology is actually far more constituitive to social grouping than you currently believe it is? Incidental sounds weak to ...

I think you missed the point I was making. Irrelevant to what I was saying. Women give birth to children. If someone loses all their limbs we do not c...

I think what the issue may be is stating the intpretation is binary. Clearly not. What I would contend is that 'woman' is inexably used as a term that...

I was reading it critically. What you wrote is what you wrote. If you meant something specific then be specific rather than rely on charitable interpr...

I think this is backwards. The simple questions are often mistaken as insignificant. Th ekin dof questions adults ask are relatively stupid and ideolo...

I can recommend something to read? Popper's 'The Open Society and Its Enemies'. I think you would find it an interesting read judging by what you are ...

Probably best to think of it as fundamental elements. It most certainly is an annoying term! When it comes to ethics I am interested in metaethics, wh...

With a simple smattering of charity you could just have offered that they are maybe trying to say that phenomenon is all we have via sensibility? @"Co...

Have you read Kant? If you have then refer to what he says about negative and positive noumenon. Nothing more to say (you can search this very site to...

Because what 'is' for us is all there is for us. Anything beyond is not anything. (again, Kantian noumenon).

I think you made a mistake there.

Because we can only experience what we experience. We can discover only what is availble to us via experience-- because that is all there is for us. W...

If someone is satiated then they must experience something negative. Furthermore, someone who does not feel any negativity prior to some pleasure feel...

Does the article actually show modelling and probablity though? No. It is simply a far flung hypothetical. Next week they will be running something li...

It wouldn't hurt to listen to Berlin here in terms of what philosophical discourse has to offer people: An Introduction to Philosophy - Isaiah Berlin ...

Initial thoughts on it? Looks kind of interesting.

Stupidity has its boons my friend ;)

If you can so readily admit that you are wiser than most people most of the time (possibly myself included). It is tough thing to question one's views...

I said this: Someone followed up with an example of such hyperbole. My original point was that the main concern I have is with predictable weather cau...

We have no food. You have food > War. Planning ahead would be nice and there are schemes in place already to try and diversify. I doubt it woudl be tr...

A potential globewide famine is kind of serious. Biospheres being wipedout is not ideal, but nature would recover faster than I imagine human civilisa...

That is nto goign to happen. I think some of the scaremongering is finally coming to an end. The only serious threat from climate change--and it is se...

Question, doubt and speculate. Avoid conclusive answers outside of abstract structures.

This is not shameless promotion as I have barely any time to write on here anymore but it probably touches on the kind of thing you are talking about....

Can you explain as clearly and as succinctly as possible then please?

I think I heard most say Hobbes laid down the foundations of Modern Science. I agree. I like the way Kant put it in COPR (not that I memorised verbati...

I can. You are using terms in one specific context and then saying this meaning they are identical in other contexts. 1) This depends on how you are u...

I think it is fair to say that there are given contexts where they are used synonymously, yet even then we could perhaps extend this and say they are ...

I do not think so. We can trust someone's opinion but it is necessarily based on our own misjudgments of character. When I think of trust I think of f...

It is precisely the insistance of some 'God'/'Law' given Right that leads to their abuse. For those they matter too they do not even need to be mentio...

You are checking to see if a social construct fits into another social construct. That is why I pointed out that human rights are social constructs. T...

Human Rights are a social construct. We are not born with legal documents that are backed up by some higher power. This is something that is so blatan...
