The cult is exposed in the nature of this defence. Back in my misspent youth I had occasion to be shown the certain sign of guilt in the form of the "...
I grew some lentils once. Bushy plants about 1m. high. Quite prolific, but it turns out that they grow 2 lentils to a pod, and life's too short to har...
I think Marx went into it in detail, but the advent of agriculture, memorialised as 'the fall' from a state of nature into the condition of bring fort...
Yes, I'm not going to argue against that, except to note that in the derogatory sense, paranoia is a mental condition that entails some disconnection ...
Call it out, rebut, complain, argue, present evidence, demand truth and honesty. Look for the honest actors in the media. It is a false saying. Only t...
Bona fide is the sine qua non of communication. Therefore every response to your op confirms performatively that bona fide interactions are the rule, ...
No you didn't. I didn't reference the Bible, you did. You responded to a dog whistle like a fanatic because I made a joke that involved the word "God"...
Don't proselytise dude, it's considered uncool on this site. And if you want to argue about the Bible, do it with someone who takes the Bible seriousl...
Yeah, but I'm not trying to convince myself, but to prevent the world from drowning in bullshit for the sake of the community. All that is required fo...
Respect for personal property is not enshrined in nature, it is established cooperatively in human societies. In an emergency, the government will req...
Do you read your own sources at all, or is the headline enough for you? Here is a marginal population way outside its normal range and barely survivin...
OK, one more little try. Evolution relies on what you call 'mistakes' as you well enough know. And the rate of copying 'mistakes' evolves itself becau...
L1 is the one I want, between sun and Earth, and some of that space blanket reflective stuff. It's that bad right now that I want to do some reckless ...
"Exactly", I will allow, but "correctly" implies that the gene was "correct" in the first place, which by hypothesis it never was. Flaws imply design....

Sounds like faith. :naughty: Sorry, I have been winding you up. It was not a serious comment in the first place, I was just amused by your religious p...
Divine justice is usually conceived as tautological. Think "I made the world and I make the rules, so I can do what I like." Tautologies, of course, d...
a) That would be tampering with the evidence and divine justice forbids. b) we don't have the time, because we are always busy being present. Whatever...
Let me say immediately, that I find your posts very often fruitful and improving; actually those are more roles the same thing, I think — the fruit of...
The barber of Seville sports a fine manicured beard, or else he shaves himself. Still no paradox. To produce the paradox, the op needs rephrasing. "Th...
Pervert! I hope the fence consented at least! :scream: Meanwhile, this is a question that Google can do a better job of not answering properly than an...
The whole idea of a lottery is to create, normalise, and popularise inequality. Hence the term "winner". How about an anti lottery, where a random mul...
Gravy is so Anglo; but here in Blighty, it usually comes in a boat, rather than a train. The French abhor mere gravy, and would insist on 'un p'tit bé...
Ever since the war of Independence, it's all gone onion-shaped on your benighted continent. But in this case, I'd blame the French. They have a thing ...

If you think that the effort to discern the universal nature of philosophy is not a philosophical enterprise, then you are certainly deceiving yoursel...
That's acceptable. I draw the line as low as I can. If you want to draw it higher, so be it, though I would appreciate some indication of where the li...
Oh no, I did not conclude that! Rather I left folk to consider what is special; I am glad you have engaged. This is a perennial question that, the mor...
You or they may make the claim, but they will be contradicted as they make it by the fact - that they are breathing as they claim not to value breathi...
I disagree with you here. One can claim to value anything or nothing, certainly, but try not valuing breathing, and not only is it very difficult to s...
I agree. I think you are right. But we are not done there, let's try and ask why it is so, and look at each word and elucidate. Let's try and persuade...
