I dunno if you edited your post or if I misread it but I remember distinctly a setence from you using concerns about immigration racism. I can't find ...

What's this 'we" but a disconnected number of individuals, we require an organisation or the government to effectively and fairly distribute aid to th...

I think that racism has lost all meaning to some people, I wonder what people would think a world where only a single race existed. There'd be no bord...

Like the video said, really, only leftists equate wanting border control with racism, the argument is absolutely ridiculous. Maw has already equated T...

People don't have a right to suicide because it's not something that needs a right. I understand you're saying that we don't need a right to suicide b...

What's a right to begin with? Euthanasia is one thing, we're discussing a legal issue and rights apply. Suicide itself can't be a right because rights...

The video covers the topic of the "deplorables" well even if it's not explaining many of the other factors in the Trump victory. I wonder how many vot...

Hate is triggered by many things and takes many forms, in my opinion, arm-chair philosophers tend to try to give explanations that ignore complexity. ...

Athiesm is not offering solutions to existential problems, nor is it an attempt at being pragmatic. Religion is not necessary for answering existentia...

We would need to define 1) Power and 2) Prevailing but I don't think that interpretations can be "true" in that they're objectively correct. So within...

Interpretation is not the difference between fact and fiction, it's a necessary step in understanding the truth. Meaning cannot be a byproduct of trut...

It's a moral flaw, meanness tends to be petty and selfish, if meanness isn't a moral flaw then idk what is.
October 03, 2019 at 13:11
You've established political undertones from the very start of your post. Your use of terminology is not only unnecessary, but it's also argumentative...

I always think it is interesting for someone who is transgender (or whatever else you want to call it) to have unique and particular opinions about ge...

Is this meant for @"Rufoid"?

It is rational in that it is rational to do what is in your best interests.
September 26, 2019 at 17:24
I think irrationality is a statement about the coherency of logic but within a context. So it's irrational to bet your life savings on a 1/10000 chanc...
September 26, 2019 at 16:41
On the surface, it appears as though there is nothing rational about your choice. However, we do not know that the reason you make your decisions base...
September 26, 2019 at 14:56
Anti-individualist, prejudicial and delusional but worst of all, your argument doesn't make sense even within the framework of tribal thinking and bel...

I think you're the one who mischaracterised what you wrote, you should have decided to go after unnecessary and unhealthy persistent aggression toward...

I'm an atheist and I don't think my views towards the religious are amicable but that doesn't mean I stand behind every anti-theist and their attitude...

The point isn't that you agree with a dictionary, it's that you don't know the definition of a word while also arguing about it. Introspection entails...
September 12, 2019 at 23:34
What do you think the definition of introspection is?
September 12, 2019 at 22:35
I thought your position is that they don't need to, what's introspection if not "thinking about it"? The world would be a better place if people were ...
September 12, 2019 at 22:05
It is in their best interests, it's just that people do not become that way naturally - hence the value of introspection. You have said the employment...
September 12, 2019 at 20:35
Interpretations include cognitive biases and prejudices but that's not all they are but given you know what these things are, why would you pretend th...

Quality post... would vote post of the year.

Though demands are increasing, I don't know if what you're saying is true or not and even if it were true, it's irrelevant. Unconcerned meat-eaters wi...

Introspection is the study of the self, sometimes for the sake of understanding and sometimes self-improvement or fixing problems. I understand many t...

True, it is not ideal to use introspection instead of statistics and science, history and politics.. etc. I value understanding and knowing about thes...

I'm not really talking about empathy or ethics but knowing the world by knowing yourself. When I am trying to understand someone's actions, I use intr...

Introspection involves rationality, for sure, it's rationality that doesn't necessarily involve introspection. Rationality without introspection becom...

"All politics is identity politics" is not a statement of fact, it's an interpretation and I make negative assumptions about why it exists. Mostly tha...

I interpret claims of life's intrinsic meaning as an attempt at tyranny, it is a claim of authority over the meaning of the lives of everyone else. If...

Who in their own minds is part of the degradation of society? Nobodies, including yours. Unsurprising. @"Bitter Crank" said it best.
September 04, 2019 at 19:32
Meaning comes from interpretation, beings interpret. Others will tell you there's something truer than that... but nobody will ever subvert my interpr...

I mean, you seem pretty removed from reality so I can't tell if YOU'RE trolling or not. Nobody would ever "DARE" to call you an idiot? You're the kind...

Heh, I certainly have. I only care about what's practical, I think most of the times I've argued with you, you admit that you're being unrealistic and...
