I like sushi

Putin is a Stalinist not a Nazi. They are different but still forms of fascism. Nazi is more or less distinguished by the idea of a superior race. The...

I am starting to wonder if I have sporadic memory loss in which I login here under the alias Frank :D

The reason I won’t participate more in this thread is because of these kinds of replies. My reply was directed at a particular point about a particula...

We don’t have, and won’t have, all the facts for a long, long, long time to come. Putin stated quite clearly his concerns (valid or not doesn’t matter...

In terms of scientific research/studies and psychology IQ tests effectively measure something we are not quite sure about called the g-factor. This ba...

We mere persons living a life can only guard against what each side says and remain respectfully suspicious of the various wants and needs from nation...

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

It depends on the religion and philosophy in question. Undoubtedly there are crossovers in some areas more than others.

1- Yes, it exists. It isn't what most people consider it to be though. 2- Obviously. I think it is generally harder to do though as the 'mystic' (and ...

This and then some. There is a culture of 'knight in shining armour' too. Those who come running to rescue of anyone who cries loud enough. It is a pi...

There is no room for 'offensive' speech on the internet. That means there is no room for free speech on the internet. There are 'rules' in place every...

Because I simply wanted to show people what others thought. I did respond a little. This, and many other forums, lack mature discussions on sensitive ...

Just wait. CRIPSR will change everything soon enough (as in easily within the century).

That isn't what I said. If it was a rhetorical question remember to leave the '?' out next time.

If in the future you need heart surgery I'm willing to perform the operation. Okay? I am just about to slice off some pieces of chicken from a carcass...

Different scenario and not really pertinent to what I was saying.

Saying something doesn't make it true. I wouldn't call you a philosopher or a serious thinker looking at your posts. Someone curious and likely to dig...

In one way yes. In another no. If no one reads it then you're not really much of a writer and people would probably say that you think you're a writer...

This reminds me a bit of people saying they are a writer simply because they have written something. There needs to be a degree of understanding and a...

I feel sorry for the horse.

I'm glad I seemed to have managed to express this well enough to make sense (for a change!). It is probably one of the most common misconceptions of K...

Again, I can argue the opposite with just as much force so I don't see a way saying much decisively. Plus the world is not 'overpopulated' nor does th...

We cannot talk of, or about, a 'thing' that we're at base level incapable of experiencing. It is not an it, it has no 'thinghood'. Our world, our enti...

No. Let me find the only quote that matters here ... "The concept of noumenon is, therefore, only a limiting concept, and intended to keep claims of s...

@"L'éléphant" Apologies. I was lazy that day and didn't bother to read the OP :D What you have posed is a possibility but we can argue the opposite to...

Seems like people are oblivious to the fact that this isn't a problem. As Frank states the population will plateau (likely at around 10 or 11 billion ...

My general point was that in a crowd the loudest voice is easier to hear. Societies today are based around larger and larger sections and groupings wh...

Even if we have smaller brains now that doesn't make us less intelligent. This is a common misconception. We have domesticated ourselves which could p...

Main point being I find this whole thing more and more disturbing by the second. I'm much more concerned here than with what happened with Yugoslavia ...

I'm not saying it is logical. The way Biden has spoken sounds a lot like they are trying to provoke/encourage Putin into a war. The remarks made don't...

Judging by the latest news it looks like there will be war sadly. If NATO is meant to be about protecting and preventing war then perhaps they should ...

Someone who annoys people consistently and constantly with things they find 'interesting' or 'intriguing'. The rest is academic pomposity most of the ...

There is a good deal of information here on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4

I think it is basically down to what the Ukraine government decides to do regarding setting up future military camps in their country. Russia has repe...

Yes. Some people simply want to focus on Putin as the singular reason for the turbulence. I'm by no means siding with Russia or NATO. I just know the ...

There is plenty of sense in Russia’s view that the US has been steadily encroaching on Russian territory. The US has no good reason to help strengthen...

The Ukraine is a nation split right down the middle in terms of the views and cultural make up of the people. Crimea is/was basically made up of Russi...

Going to do another competition?

You expressed an opinion and called it a fact. It should bother you far more than it should bother me I hope.

I thought philosophy was basically diagnostics? You and apply and view different methods for some problem/question as well as exploring the question a...

Fashion is fashion. The youth is prone to appearing 'fashionable' and being 'fashionable' may mean despising monetary wealth or aspiring to it. You te...

Your opinion. Fair enough. You can argue/agree/question/view my point here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/11886/choice-the-problem-with-po...

Giving direction isn't 'bad' though. That is my point. Simply because someone is capable of applying their will here or there it doesn't mean it is 'c...

If you are defining power as something that necessarily corrupts then it does obviously mean that. I don't see why power necessarily corrupts (power m...

No it doesn't. I think we've been over this before though.

I think they are hard to find. A lot of people come to philosophy forums because they have a vague interest in expressing something, asking about some...

A person without any power is merely useless as they cannot do anything. A person with power can do something. Good people exist because they possess ...

To talk about differences in sex isn’t inherently ‘sexist’. I think it is a cheap shot and antithetical to any kind of level-headed discussion to try ...
