Is anyone surprised? I doubt it. This decade long war only ends with both sides sitting down and negotiating peace. It could probably have been avoide...
I was just pointing out that ‘partial mobilisation’ is about putting people on the military payroll into battle. If someone is willing to sign up and ...
Partial Mobilisation means they call up people on the payroll in the territorial army basically. The people fleeing are likely fleeing to avoid the ne...
Assume for a second I actually know what I am talking about and stop ranting. You have not addressed the OP because maybe you did not understand. Ever...
@"Agent Smith" There are some very well accounted psychological difference between men and women. In many circumstances we could state that women ‘car...
Well, we are unlikely to see ‘justification’ for an action as a negative thing. We know from the neurosciences that we are bias in terms of authorship...
Maybe if you back up your claim I will answer. If it is just your personal opinion based on nothing much more than personal experience I am not intere...
His account of the wiki page was at least more accurate than some. My point - which is overall irrelevant to the OP - was that the primary difference ...
Do not try. Just tell me and explain or leave. I am not here to waste my time or yours so spit it out before I lose patience … then address the OP mor...
Hypotheticals are meant to be tinkered with imo. If the cancer problem was framed ‘if you do not kill and steal the cure your wife will certainly die’...
I do not. That point was one of the issues Care Ethics has when it comes to addressing interpersonal relations. By responsibility I thought it was cle...
Anyway, to be clear about the debate of how Care Ethics is classified there is no actual clear cut answer. I will say that the whole development of Ca...
So I was not wrong. You are making a judgement based on how some individual chose to classify it (based on buddhist views). When I hear Virtue Ethics ...
Well, if the people were members of your family I think you may think differently. Ethics of Care is kind of stating this is ‘okay’ and if it was savi...
My point was that both Applied Ethics and Ethics of Care essential avoid responsibility and that the real issue is people’s constant crutch of ‘justif...
I am pretty sure this is due the realisation (or rather subconscious arrival of) that traditions and cultural values are separate entities rather than...
I honestly do not think any of the three issues in the OP is the biggest problem humanity currently faces. The issue is one of communication. Better c...
Would be nice to see each AI argue using a certain philosophers body of work and then adjusting according to what other AI say from their philosophica...
Humans can actively create new phrases that actually have intent behind them. AI cannot. AI would, at best, be a pseudomystic - spouting phrases that ...
It cannot. It basically cherry picks from human thoughts. It does not ‘create’ any new ideas and anything that looks ‘new’ is simply due to the reader...
The western body of history is simply greater. I think it can well be argued that the Japanese are strong/er in terms of maintaining a long line of cu...
On second thoughts … I would say western because it has a strong line of development. The major problem in the western arena is that ‘mysticism’ is vi...
It is dangerous. Since the beginning of time people have feared and worshipped in the name of ‘knowledge’. Ironically those who oppose technology are ...
It is irrelevant. We are not living in a simulation. If you insist we are then there is only the simulation therefore the ‘simulation’ is in fact iden...
I generally think people do not think too much. If there is a ‘modern’ issue it is likely more along the lines of ‘distraction’ that excessive thinkin...
A problem I have heard from farmers is people buying up land cheap making it impossible for farmers to start up a business. This also effects the envi...
In the broader sense of the OP there is interest for everyone in how roles in society have changed. A lot of this came more readily into focus in the ...
Most of the talk in this area is generally pointless because it is full of political nonsense. If someone clearly wishes to be treated as a man/boy/wo...
Nah! It is just a very crass generalisation that does nothing to progress any reasonable discussion … that was probably the point of Mr. Smith’s comme...
I need to think about this whole subject more. Seems like a decade is not enough :D Perhaps with my current attempts I will refine my thoughts better ...
That is hardly equivalent. Humans can be male and female. Humans, as far as I know, have never been big-nosed monkeys. It is common enough for people ...
Yes. The key terms here being ‘aimed at’ rather than immediately implemented at all costs. The issue is people have to get out of severe poverty prior...
In short, it is ‘inbuilt’ but that is not to say nurture is thrown out completely. I say this because we are social beings and our success comes throu...
For remote tribes they do not have a concept of time (well not like us). We have learnt, been nurtured to, segment time and parcel up our day into nea...
Just ask yourself if it is more likely that a teapot is orbiting Mars. This seems at least physically feasible whereas when it comes to psychic powers...
Time and space can be viewed physically or psychologically. Psychological time is far more varied and malleable. What feels like a day for one person ...
Of course different people can be more absorbed in some ritual than others. Take the Sunday Roast. Some may just take it as a meal, whilst another wil...
I am a bit suspicious of calling every social interaction a ‘ritual’ for the reason I mentioned above (ie. Viewing everything as ‘Art’). I think that ...
Well, this is a topic that has had my attention on an doff for decades. It is (as was pointed out above) a major question in anthropology. One approac...
You are not making a whole lot of sense here. If there is no data presented you are just voicing your opinion. I do not think for a second that the nu...
Okay. Makes sense. I haven’t thought that far back for a longtime in regards to childhood crushes … I guess it was possible I had crushes too that far...
Homosexuality is clearly not an ‘evolutionary dead end’ because it occurs in many species and has not disappeared for millions of years. My question w...
