I’m not a fan of any philosophical perspective stretched and warped over every question of being in some hideous malformation pronounced as “knowledge...
If you happen to feel that doing something illegal is necessarily immoral then I’m afraid my moral inclination would be to belittle your position, str...
When they’re dead. When they’re dead it is then for the rest of us to sort out what is of use to us or not without them making additional footnotes in...
I don’t think it does buy meaningful longterm power. If you think shifting money around will solve the issue then I don’t see how given any assumption...
Does the bias exist to any large degree in modern wester society or is it merely an assumption based on a bygone era? As for the whole “white” issue. ...
I misread part of a post. I thought I saw someone guilty of this. Just an honest mistake nothing more :) My biased expectation of this kind of fallacy...
I think you’d find Jung’s work interesting (his interpretations of mythos and Archetypes) as well as many aspects of occultism in general. Alan Moore ...
Could you tell me of your experiences please (PM if you wish as we’re veering off track in this thread - or create a new one). I did ask before where ...
Here are some more recent examples of the confused debate about how to label these things and the reach of biological reductionism: https://eiko-fried...
Not a quote. I just let loose with metaphors here and there where plain speech doesn’t really seem to emphasis my point - plus it seemed appropriate t...
That is proof in and of itself that “religion” hasn’t always been around then. In which case “religion” replaced your so-called “natural life” rather ...
Couldn’t all of this be summed up by stating that if society was a well oiled and ordered machine, where potential and equality were ubiquitous, that ...
It is quite funny if you look at women’s rights being both the assertion of women’s masculinity and men’s femininity. It is worth considering that alt...
Nice set up. This is known as “psychological fixedness”. This is relatable to “functional fixedness” but here we’re referring to the application of id...
I never actually said that was my view. The other person said that not me. It happens a lot on forums, no big deal. I would say that scientific method...
I’ve already told you I don’t approach philosophical texts via someone else’s interpretation. I might give him a look once I’ve done reading Nietzsche...
You’re confused. I never said this you did: I actually said these: Saying that Plato and Aristotle played into the construction of Rome and western hi...
Okay, show me how then? In the mean time how about listening to a Nobel Prize winning physicist about the state of science in Islamic sphere: https://...
I don’t really understand the purpose of this thread it seems. I was trying to highlight that psychology isn’t all that bad, but I don’t believe there...
Not sure what you mean or exactly what you mean by “intuition” when you refer to Kant. Kant meant something quite explicit by “intuition,” that being ...
When it comes to seeking psychological help it would make a great deal of sense to do some personality tests to see roughly what kind of person you ar...
Empathy, companionship, mutual goals, fair play and knowledge of pain/death. I find it useful to revert to the use of the terms “ethic” and “moral” wh...
Interesting comments. Exactly what is he accused of and why? What did he do to the US besides reveal some unwelcome truths about how military operatio...
In opposition to people shouting “blasphemy!” I imagine some did kill out of fear of persecution and being burnt alive. What’s your point? I assume yo...
I think you’re confusing religion with science. Religious views are tolerated, except in China and religious states where people’s rights are inhibite...
I don’t want to be burnt alive, stoned to death or generally persecuted because my values don’t adhere to texts written centuries ago. Religious insti...
Was Giordano Bruno burnt alive or not? I wouldn’t call that “counterfactual”. I certainly don’t dispute that religious people, and a number of promine...
It was amended well enough with what followed y comments about a secular society that isn’t exactly in favour of free investigation (China). I see wha...
theocracies are, and have always been, a threat to modern western attitudes. Don’t forget that the west rose out of the ashes of a theocracy that slow...
Have you guys thought about this in a more simplistic language. For example we’re humans, and where there is data we try to apply a pattern of meaning...
I’m open minded. Go ahead. If you’re scared of posting here though then you’ve lost already I think? Of course some people will wish to frame you as X...
A green rock eats yellow sounds whilst fondly crouching under a slither of dark bubbling duress. Such phrases are useful only to the whimsical mystic ...
We can then perhaps address the liberal attitudes of countries in the west, and other regions compared to each other and the west too. There are opini...
For balance it is worth questioning the label of “terrorist” as we saw in Syria that on multiple fronts various groups were calling other groups “terr...
“World” as in Weltanschuuang or as in physical reality? If the later then I disagree because the physical world gives to the senses - again, deep down...
Fair enough. I personally wouldn’t use the term “ethical” there though, but I see what you’re looking at now I think. There is still the problem of ar...
This is telling enough If people are going online to seek help and advice from a bunch of random strangers it tells ou something about their approach....
If you’re framing “aesthetic” as appearance (which you seem to be doing?) then it is almost certainly, from a neurological perspective, prior to any e...
Wouldn’t a thing with no function that is broken therefore have a function? Accidentally functional then? Haha! All governing systems are partially fu...
