I don’t think you understand how economics works then - seems to be an epidemic of people who are clueless about this and they are actually the root o...
Are you telling me everything you’ve ever done made perfect sense to you and you never thought it was the wrong or sub optimal choice? I say liar beca...
Basically he is asking is there anything to do with the perception of colour other than our sensory input. Clearly the answer is yes because we can se...
I don't understand how that has anything to do with it? I can describe colours to congenially blind people by way of referring to others senses. As wi...
An actual real life report from stroke victims can open up a bit of a window into this problem. People who've had strokes don't understand (lose the a...
Economic growth in poorer countries is basically how most problems are solved. This will often lead to greater 'super rich' people in countries alread...
The test takes 15-30 mins. I stated that if employees were willing to show up early and take the test before work then it would be a way around the is...
That doesn't sound like anything other than the status quo. I would say there is far more hype due to mass media and more access to poor/pseudo report...
Slavery for all! It is ‘just’. If you litter the streets then slavery! It is just and deserv … wait a minute!? You call it ‘punishment’ and I call it ...
Er … what? Btw I grew up in a country where paying for medical care was not something anyone really considered doing so maybe asking someone to pay fo...
As opposed to imprisoning someone even? Nah. Sorry. The payment for one’s actions comes in one form or another. The ‘justness’ of such is dependent up...
If you look at Crowley through the lens of Jung and Nietzsche he probably won't look quite as decadent. I kind of view Alan Moore as what Crowley coul...
I don't think that means anything in the way you've framed it. The 'pagan' religion isn't a separate entity but rather an amalgam of ideas based on so...
It means that the spanner fitfully wakes under the duress of upper, downy hairs' delight ... a perfectly reasonable sentence grammatically but semanti...
I never said that. The discussion is about 'will' and Crowley (regardless of what you think of him) did have some things to say about 'will' in a more...
That wouldn't help nor is it needed here. The general AN position is against 'suffering' which we all understand (no need to redefine the word). They ...
I was thinking of it in terms of being 'satiated'. A glass of water offers more pleasure the more thirsty one is or a meal the pleasure the hungrier o...
To add, when it comes to morals and such we are likely better served to look as 'betterment' than 'truth' as dictating the best course of action or ru...
Sounds suspiciously like fear of context rather than relativism. 'Slavery is unjust' is not a True statement as far as I can tell. By this I mean in t...
I’m not saying that. I’m saying ‘suffering’ is actually what gives life value. No suffering is a zombie life without emotion. Some people want lives o...
I don't see any 'wrong' or 'right' about it. The very question of it being right or wrong to have children is meaningless to me. I've tried to underst...
It's true for me too. I've lived through some horrors. I don't regard that as any kind of justification for someone erasing my life once I hit that po...
My point was they are equally as pointless not that they are exclusively comparable in certain ways. I could just as well as said "The world to be spa...
The question doesn't make any sense to me either. May as well ask if it is morally right that the sky appears to be blue. At its core it boils down to...
I think it might be a necessary distraction from Libya. Power vacuums will be filled quickly not necessarily well (unless luck is involved). I see no ...
To add ... there is no substitute for experience. Most understanding (in any depth) comes with age not merely intellect. I wouldn't recommend anyone u...
I would say studying both and include many other fields too (specifically in the same area are anthropology, politics, history, neuroscience, ancient ...
What I will the term will to mean is what it means to me. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" - Crowley. To me this means irrespective o...
I think it is just basic tribalism. Someone in your 'tribe' does something well, or even no so well, and you react as if they are some kind of extende...
I see this kind of thing from some but certainly not all in what I've read. As in 'white people,' and talkign about racism in such a way that isn't ex...
Are we talking about being 'alone' or being 'lonesome'? They are different. Personally I'm VERY happy when I'm alone. I don't get 'lonely'. I've extre...
I find patriotism kind of repugnant myself. I understand why people have a sense of patriotism (I likely do myself in some superficial respects) I jus...
If it's in the public domain we're better to attend to it than ignore it. Humans are a particularly 'tribal' species full of errors and stupidities. R...
Can someone help please? Am I vaguely in the correct ballpark in saying that 'Critical Race Theory' is not about eradicating 'racism' per se (as the v...
@"Xtrix" Also, in case you missed it the first time, what about testing people for the virus instead? If employees are willing to turn up to work 30mi...
I think that’s a good summation. @"Xtrix" How do you feel about people refusing for religious reasons then? They are exempt yet their ‘wrong thinking’...
