Disagree. People shouldn't place their happiness on something outside of themselves in the first place. To be faithful is to undermine the value and j...

Objectivism by Ayn Rand provides an objective meaning to life.

Yeah, I agree. Subjective experience that isn't objective. It's mysticism that fools people into believing things that are not real. If some guy says ...

Karl Marx's ideas were tried, and what happened was death and destruction. Economic collapse and stagnation. The solution isn't economic distribution....

Humans can think way bigger and deeper than any animal. Why do we kill wild animals that attack us instead of trying to have a civil discussion with t...

No. They are not different forms of thinking. It's a matter of life or death. Reason is our only means of discovering the truth. Reason applies Aristo...

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

I think anyone can handle any amount of suffering as long as there is purpose or something to gain from it. For example... Going through pain to finis...

Well I guess no one really knows because no one has observed the entire universe to know if it's infinite or finite.

So what's your solution to this problem?

Animals can only know reality through observation. They navigate through life with their instinct. Humans navigate with reason. I've already explained...

You forgot the other defintion. "belief characterized by self-delusion or dreamy confusion of thought, especially when based on the assumption of occu...

I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that to value life and to use reason is to be objective. That is what mysticism is.

Change is infinite, yes.

Everything that exists does not have an infinite nature. It is what it is. It doesn't go on forever.

Because life is good if you want to live. That's just a fact. How do you live life if you don't your life? And why would anyone not want to value thei...

Social class is determined by the value you can produce in the market, not your background. College doesn't necessarily determine your success or soci...

No, it goes on for an eternity. What I'm saying is that existence is not infinite in size.

Mysticism and death is bad. I don't understand how they are good things. They are objectively bad. Why would we want to live in a world where humans d...

Everything that exists is everything that exists; it doesn't just go on forever.

So mysticism and death can be considered good things by some people because there is no objective right and wrong. That's my understanding from you.

Life is the most important value if you want to live life. People who disagree don't interest me because they obviously don't care about themselves or...

So life isn't the most important value? And reason isn't mandatory to furthering one's life?

The universe is real and evident; it just wasn't created. Existence can't be created from nonexistence.

What about them isn't factual? How?

We derive order from our own understanding of the universe. The universe is independent of order. What would be a disordered universe? By saying the u...

Please explain how I have an inner voice of a fascist.

Good for you, I guess? I don't know what your point is.

The universe doesn't have order. By observing it we obtain a sense of order and understanding of the universe. What would a disordered universe look l...

I think this duality question is ridiculous.

I agree with everything you said except with the idea of existence being infinite. Existence is finite.

What they all have in common is that they value their life.

Faith isn't reason though. Faith is irrational. There is only one kind of reason. No, everybody is capable of reason. Everyone has the choice to put t...

Yes, but living things depend on facts to survive. Why? How is it not wrong to accept a truth without evidence? I understand that people judge things ...

A is A. A cannot be B or whatever else. Contradictions are impossible. Thinking that a contradiction could happen or wanting to achieve a contradictio...

It's evident that reality doesn't contradict itself.

Yep.

Consistent in what way?

How is it subjective?

It basically helps you reach conclusions in reality. By holding non-contradictory ideas.

With logic.

Why do you ask so many questions?

Yes. Making mistakes is part of discovering the truth.

No, it's all three of those. Consciousness, observation, and logic.

So you are agreeing with me. Right?

How do you come to know the truth? Do you discover it mystically? Or do you think it is impossible to know the truth?

Because I have consciousness that allows me to know the truth. Because I have a mind that can think about what I have observed.

No, when you observe reality you observe reality.

Yes. There is no other way of perceiving it.

Well yes, everyone must use reason to some degree or else they would be destroying their ability to live. But I don't think being religious and still ...
