You're not even following your topic thread. The question refers to a ban on all public religious representations, but you give no evidence showing th...

That's not a flaw in my idea but in execution.

History? Where? There is nothing in your posts to me that shows that.

That's not a flaw. Rather, there is a need to plan carefully. The flaw is found in the second paragraph of my post.

You're committing hasty generalizations.

They are part of self-expression.

Because not all "public displays of religiosity" involve "one-upmanship" or are "public insults to the secular."

It's ignored by the free world because of realpolitik. That's why the U.S. and OECD members play along with KSA, etc. As for ending "vile" religions, ...

The two are linked because of the petrodollar.

On a global scale, it should reach a peak given limits to growth coupled with ecological devastation.

It will probably end as the effects of limits to growth coupled with global warming set it.

They probably matter because the human mind is both rational and emotional.

That might go against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

But as explained earlier, the same fraction used to end poverty leads to increased sales of goods and services, and thus more wealth for the rich.

The irony about this, as revealed in another thread, is that just a fraction of the wealth of the few richest people in the world is enough to provide...

To complete my argument, re-distribution of only a fraction of the wealth of the 200 richest people in the world is enough to end global poverty. Even...

From what I remember, the implication of post-modernism is the breakdown of meaning while philosophy focuses more on the search for such.

The report is not referring to planetary collapse.

Go to this post: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/281473 The link to the report is embedded in it.

You requested for a peer-reviewed report, and I presented it to you. You did not read it because if you did, then you would see that I'm not referring...

I was not referring to nature.

You mean you think so. That's what I gathered from the rest of your post.

Yes, and maximize profits.

"Is Global Collapse Imminent?"

It's not just a motivation but in their by-laws which they submit to register their business.

Even a fraction of the top one percent will enough. The amount is so insignificant that they can easily recover what was taken in a year or two, and m...

As you put it, it resides in the spectrum of colors, among others.

It's possible that life has several meanings.

Probably, but localized systems manage to make life meaningful, especially when that life is also localized.

There are many reasons, and you will eventually discover them based on various circumstances.

Usually to manage groups of people, especially when these groups become larger and more complex.

You can check philo classes on Youtube.

The catch is the effects of limits of growth combined with global warming. These will likely lead to a world without work, but not in the way that mos...

Perhaps it is insulting only if there is assurance of an abundance of resources in the long term. But that is not likely given a variety of reasons, r...

Not necessarily, as there are numerous factors involving politeness. Also, the term may have different definitions.

If trends concerning limits to growth continue, then simpler lifestyles will eventually be the norm.

It can be seen in combinations of sensual elements of the work and certain neurophysical characteristics found among human beings. At least that's wha...

Lots and lots of readings, in-class discussions, papers, tests, oral exams, thesis defense, etc.

It's possible in the sense that actions are ultimately limited by limits to growth.

Yes, in the sense of mortality.

They are both part of the human condition, where actions and behavior involve combinations of the two.

It's also part of survival, where one cooperates with other individuals as part of a social contract.

Some aspects may be seen in the eye of the beholder while others may be in the object if they are shared across various groups of people.

The drive to seek entertainment unknowingly stems from the realization of that "bigger picture," which leads to angst.

I think it's the other way round.

Given suffering and limits to growth (which impedes efforts to minimize suffering), it is generally accurate.

It should be motivated by the effects of global warming (coupled with environmental damage) and a resource crunch which are currently taking a toll on...

I would say that given limits to growth coupled with environmental damage, global warming, and increasing population, a pessimist worldview is fairly ...
