The reality is that I could go through each post and find multiple lies in each one, the latest is that I asked for empathy, that I have conflated the...

Healthy mindset? I think that depends on the context. I would like to be wealthy, with a wife I'm in love with and great kids, working for myself and ...

Your response was much like I expected, lazy and pathetic. You didn't paraphrase any of my views but only continued to act as though you know me well ...

Hmm, this isn't going anywhere, my response would lead us back to where we started. Thx for chat but I'm done here.

I understand what you're saying creativesoul, I've met many who've argued the same things. I am willing to grant you that you may be able to add to yo...

Honestly, I have ideas but I don't know. I think it's not easy to tell when willpower is the solution and when it's not. There's the virtue signalling...

Excellent analogy. Weight loss is the best example of overprescribing willpower as both the solution and problem, I find most overweight people are te...

I've always wanted to play the madman who proclaims that the end is coming, this will give me something to use. Seriously though, I think global warmi...

Humiliation definitely isn't predicated on valuing other peoples' opinions it's predicated on caring about other peoples' opinions. That care is not n...

The problem with this idea is that many inhibitions have a neurological source that is not conscious and cannot be consciously rejected without great ...

I am not criticising as a motivator, I agree that people make an effort to understand each other only because empathy caused them to care in the first...

Well, you may have decided not to leave the thread but I don't have much more to say to you. You tell me I'm working on mistaken notions but you don't...

Your quote doesn't even mention using imagination. I'm sure he's talking about the expressed views of the characters, knowledge about their history pr...

To play devil's advocate, a culture predicated on an understanding without science is clearly going to be undermined by it. It's not a scientific trut...

What terms? What's that got to do with empathy? .... Have I said I think I have a right to be understood? I have argued against the use of empathy as ...

In general, I think people are born competitive and most animals are extremely competitive besides humans. It's just how things are and culturally coo...

Excellent analysis :lol:

Hmm, there is not much winning to be had in arguments about philosophy. It is rare beyond belief to see someone admit they are wrong but very common t...

So many games you could play, where winning is all that matters and yet you're here, how perplexing.

I think naughtiness refers to the breaking of rules, mostly rules which are not stopping you from doing something terrible. You can be naughty by brea...

You wouldn't dare apply your absurd logic about imagination to any other field, you wouldn't use it to try to understand any science field, to learn a...

I agree on what humiliation is if we add that humiliation is the feeling of perceived loss of status. When I think about the things people feel humili...

What do those things have to do with humiliation and what makes you believe that we didn't always have a penchant for things like sensationalism and m...

Which direction is that?

Are you saying humiliation is socially constructed? If so, are you saying it's a recent thing? I find it hard to understand your position or what this...

I've heard of people who reject biological differences b/w people but not both nature and nurture differences as would be with AI (possibly).

I think happiness is a byproduct of a healthy ego, healthy interpretations, a positive outlook for the future and some other things. Interpretative pr...

I would agree fundamentally speaking but exchange this idea of appearances with interpretations. If reality is a dream then it is not a dream as human...

Purpose is an interpretation, it is an invention. What shall we do with a useful invention? Throw it away?

Interpretations aren't preferences, on this, we agree but nonetheless, interpretations are fundamentally arguments and not based on anything that can ...

Well, I was explicit in allowing you the opportunity to reject the evidence of the individual's testimony, though stronger evidence is available in so...

Don't you think things like forgiveness, redemption and repentance are applicable to particular actions that would be entirely ignored by other religi...

Ah yeah, "learn to love what you have" was a poor summary of what I meant, better is "learn to be happy with less". Yes, I agree with that. I think al...

A person gives you a long list of things they say they believe would make them happy. Do you advise them that they should reconsider whether they real...

I don't even hold the position of speakers creating rules... I think that the whole thing is nonsense. I entered this thread with the intention of sha...

I asked you to find a quote of me saying that the problem with using empathy as a tool for understanding is because it is imperfect... what the hell i...

When did I ever talk about existence or knowledge? You mean the existence of rules? If you were talking about English then I'd be correct but since yo...

Naturally, if the speaker can make a rule then he can make more rules (in the future). You are now talking about English as if everyone has their own ...

Depending on information necessary to confirm or refute we could be capable or incapable but there are contexts which are fairly uncontentious. For in...

Well, I just use the word understanding in the sense that the meaning synthesises to a point where it is complete without interpretation, I understand...

I didn't think you would appreciate it but the senselessness of your argument bothered me so I did it all the same. I will for the sake of curiosity, ...

No, he is saying that the rules of language can be understood without the use of interpretation. He argues that language can have rules which result i...

You able to "create rules" but you are unable to articulate the rules that currently exist or point anyone towards where they are written. It is poor ...

An "apple" refers to a category of things which are different in some ways but similar in others, the word is used literally, figuratively and could b...

I'd describe you as not sceptical enough, I'm surprised you're still talking about this. We don't agree on this topic but I don't think to resume our ...

In the context of subjectivity, what is not a lie is not then the truth. I also think I would not define lie in a way which meant that which is not a ...

I like how you talk as if this kind of possibility doesn't exist or never existed. A bus driver in North Korea today knows if King Jong-un wanted him ...

What we choose to focus on and what we choose to interpret to gain meaning in our lives and how we interpret those things sometimes strays towards the...

It depends on your interpretation and more specifically the intricacies around how you deal with holding yourself to your expectations. I wouldn't say...

I wouldn't go that far in all situations but for me personally, I probably wouldn't care at all about people being beaten and abused as long as it was...
