And he is not the last person that knew how to effectively use religion to achieve success in the world. You know, I might go so far as to argue: that...
Faith is the basis of all religiousness, I agree. Yet, to relate oneself to God intellectually, such as presuming to know God's will, is directly and ...
It would be absolute if it existed independently and not in relation to other things. As I told barstick, if something like eternal forms could be pro...
This is a great point. I would add, that for the religiously inclined, moral awareness and the concept of becoming an autonomous moral agent is a prer...
You must not believe in eternal forms, correct? I, personally, don't not believe in eternal forms. Therfore, if eternal forms is the case, and we can ...
I can handle evil people doing evil things. It is the good people doing evil things that breaks my lil ole hart. Hurt? yes, some people say they care,...
Is morality not a human construct? I've never seen evidence of its existence in nature, independent of human judgment. Perhaps you can enlighten me by...
1) make an argument. -check. (Do I need to define my terms? I figured they, were cut and dry.) 2) because humans have a relentless compulsion to think...
morality is a human construct, good and evil are determined by purely relativistic human standards. There is nothing inherently or absolutely evil abo...
Unprecedented territory is a reference to ground that has never been covered and is unmapped. It would take the greatest of fools to assume one could ...
I hate people. The concept of people is completely played out and lame. But nothing is more wonderful than the existing human beings that I encounter ...
We are on unprecedented territory. It is pretty bad. That is the topic. But at least it sucks enough to seem mildly interesting, instead of outright h...
That is good advice. Moderation is good in moderation. But history is too repetitive for me not to feel completely alienated from, and suspicious of a...
Sorry for that comment. It is obviously a ridiculous theory. It was actually a bad attempt at a good joke, meant to mock all the speculation over thes...
:rofl: Damn, your old! Lol. Btw, french fries blow freedom fries away any day of the week. Let me guess, that s.o.b. Scott Ritter got to you? Me too. ...
Great point. My opinion: such predictive data is unreliable when it comes to something as complex as national mortality rates. It is a fact that peopl...
All I hear is a chorus of whining when I disagree with your bullshit. It verges on par with religious fanaticism. But that's what happens when slave m...
My cousin says covid has killed more Americans than all deaths in all wars combined. Must be true. :vomit: Again, I'm supposed to just accept the numb...
I'm sorry, I cannot tell you how it is, I can only how it isn't. Nice graph. Is that suppose to convince me? Even if i accept it at face value, a grap...
Perfectly stated! Unbelievale how convincing popular opinion is for most people. And, yes, it is quite reassuring, it is reassuring that I will never ...
I have a friend that works as a mortician. She's been on unemployment for a year. Ever think that the corpses aren't being processed at the normal rat...
Well, California is a state of whining pussies and hypochondriacs. People there will go to the ER for the most minor inflictions. So I have no trouble...
I don't trust the statistics at all, there is absolutely no way that covid is as fatal as it is being portrayed. I have a friend whose wife just died ...
Lol. Great post. Sounds like a beautiful place with beautiful people. But, that old woman with the mask should not be leaving her home if she is scare...
Fair enough. I feel the same way about all this unsubstantiated propaganda about covid. A bunch of so called experts pulling lame explanations about t...
If we could enable the handicapped to control their prothstetics by will, it would be amazing. But this is veering into transhumanism, and for the sim...
I like that theory, but personally, I'm running with the zombie theory. The best part about covid hysteria, is that now, the wildest and most inane sp...
I believe explained, just not in great length. Perhaps its brevity is insufficient for you, but it is still an explanation. But seriously, you haven't...
Conformity absolutely. Unfortunately conformity isn't for me, as I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion. The inconsistency in it all is baf...
Exactly. It would almost be scary if it weren't so interesting to observe happening right before my eyes. And, I'm really excited about the whales suc...
I, like to proceed dialectically, to do stress tests on ideas to see what results (like Nietzsche's twilight of idols, or a particle collider). Very p...
What do you mean "no enforcement"? You cannot enter a grocery store, post office, bank, restaurant, courthouse, trainstation, &c., &c. without a mask....
People just don't get it, you know? We are only slowing it down. There is no stopping it. No matter what precautions we take, covid will run its cours...
