It sounds like you didn’t read the OP all the way through carefully? Maybe you missed the point about the primary use being in self-reflection not a p...
I think everyone here like myself has pondered about the items of “space,” “time,” and “matter” (not necessarily in a physicalist sense!) Time & Space...
My goal on forums remains the same. To improve my writing, to learn different viewpoints, and to formulate different ideas through a generally open ex...
Address the problem then as you see fit. My point is that hypotheticals are of use and that most people, myself included, tend to ignore the use of th...
Well, the thing is people you specialise are specialised. Given that having a company full of managers would be pretty dumb the weight of responsibili...
You seem to be quite lacking in all three of those departments though. Whether or not you believe me is another thing altogether, but others will no d...
Do you take yourself to be some kind of prophet? Saying there will be war is like saying “It’ll rain.” War/Conflict is a necessary circumstance of lif...
I certainly agree that humanity’s social evolution this century will mean the end of “nations” as we know them today - they are actually quite a recen...
I don’t necessarily think so just yet. There is certainly something to be said of the power of the internet; the mistake is thinking ANYONE understand...
I never said women act more emotionally and I’m not interested in playing it out as a hypothetical because the original question was aimed at NKBJ not...
It doesn’t lead to ideas about how to treat men and women differently. Some men are more “feminine” than some women, and some women are more “masculin...
These features are extremely useful! I used to be against “ignore” features on forums, but I got used to using them in order to use as a “sin bin” typ...
And maybe you’d be surprised how this: Is a reiteration of what Husserl said. Or maybe not? Maybe I assume your surprise where there is none? I at lea...
Grice is certainly a good starting point! Another is Orwell’s essay “Politics and the English Language.” Over all effective communication requires ope...
see here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/282657 I think you’d appreciate what is being discussed there maybe? It’s not theological,...
Another contradiction. If it is the “first cause” yet “outside of causality” then it cannot be “the first cause” because that would require attachment...
Is it then logical for something to be a “first cause” if it cannot be caused? Such argumentation is called a contradiction. Just in case this isn’t c...
And you only regard my regarding as such (whatever “such” you so choose to frame as apparent) due to not considering the dialectical framework adopted...
Considering there may be no actual “first cause” we’re cannot running under one, or more, assumptions no matter what we do. Logic is generally a guide...
Dammit Mr.Kirk! Never been near a Black Hole with Mr.Spock? What is more it appears I can think of numbers yet they don’t have motion. I can also thin...
The question is about “questions”. You could’ve spoken of the “existence” of “numbers” or “tables”. The meaning of the terms posed must, imo, be set o...
I’m 41 btw, if anyone cares! I used to a number of others ages! Up until I was 21 I was quite shy, my early to mid 20’s were a vacuum of nothingness. ...
Time, change. Change is difference. I am not exactly sure what more there is to say about that. Heidegger did certainly investigate certain aspects of...
No replies? Is this illegible, too much of a metaphor (possibly construed as ‘mystical’?), or simply too banal to warrant a reply? Some feedback would...
The truth is you’re not going to get many people in their early twenties who are ‘worldly’. Some, I am sure, but given that there is no obvious marker...
Hasty. Letting people think about how to approach the issue for a day or two would’ve been more productive. Not knowing that you cannot say what you t...
ZhouBoTong quotes me saying what you said (see above): I then played “devil’s advocate” (and said so quite clearly): In regards to what I was misquote...
For the most part. And therein lies the semantic game of philosophy. We’re stuck with our subjective view and aware of our ‘capacity’ for misinterpret...
That’s where we differ. I don’t assume ‘anything’ as supernatural. Beyond ST doesn’t mean supernatural to me nor would it to astrophysicists. Beyond o...
Supratemporal and supernatural are not really the same thing. What is meant by “supratemporal” is understood in abstract terms, but “supernatural” isn...
Ask NKBJ because I didn’t say that. Mistakes happen :) To play devil’s advocate I COULD squeeze out some validation for those points. Men are generall...
I was just about to mention the fact that women are more likely to attempt suicide yet men are more likely to succeed. There is quite a bit of researc...
If you care to follow the exchange back I was pointing out that suicide and aggression are not due to men apparently “not being able to cope” but due ...
I guess I took “roughly the same” to mean almost the same - which they’re not. Hormone balance plays a VERY significant part in cognitive development ...
Testosterone. It’s biological not merely social conditioning. Doesn’t matter who is encouraged to do what. Women communicate more verbally than men - ...
It’s generally understand that isn’t the reason for aggression and suicide at all - sadly it seems I had to point out that men are generally less risk...
Just because someone doesn’t believe in a deity it doesn’t mean they understand science or use scientific knowledge to make claims about their sense o...
Do you appreciate the difference between “Philosophy of Religion” and “Theology”? Don’t pull the wool over your own eyes, this is a philosophy forum s...
I have certain reservations about any theological claim on “nothingness” and certainly do see a slippery slope to hell (pun-intended) on the buddhist ...
Literally just read a passage from On the Genealogy of Morals (Nietzsche) that relates strongly to this question. From Second Essay (Para 10). He talk...
Put it this way, scholars of Husserl have spent a long time sifting through his copious unpublished works - and we’re talking a HUGE amount of writing...
Really? Maybe you should get out more then! As for myself I’m not in the habit of blindly ‘respecting’ someone simply because they have a foo-foo. Not...
You cannot expect people to know things they don’t know, or even be willing to learn about what they don’t know - to them it is a ‘spectral’ entity un...
In the light of the OP the question is posed between “theism” and “atheism” where the former is framed, generally speaking, as a belief in a ‘deity’ a...
