If a person has no belief in God, he can act morally. Yet, morality that is not grounded in principle is relativistic, and a matter of caprice. So, fo...
Actually Bush was worse. It's simply the case that most Americans have shit for memories, and half the whiners who are obsessed with bitching about Do...
Consumers are about as dumb as it comes, hard to believe they can be dumbed down even further. I would say Apple has mastered that strategy better tha...
Theosophy views everything as epicycles within epicycles, and from that perspective, a new beginning is imminent. Theosophy is a very cohesive system ...
From the theosophical perspective, we are presently in the fifth kaliyuga, which would mean the demise and dissolution of the fifth planetary sphere. ...
Right! They are removing all the fun from vehicular mayhem. I'm really gonna miss the old chaos, but the new gods are calling for "safety for all". Ri...
What about those beloved cultural icons like Bugs Bunny and Winnie the Pooh, who aren't required to wear pants, what kind of message are we sending to...
Remember that the "lie" which those millions and millions of people base there lives on is not merely conditioned, it is inherited from an already exi...
The fear conditioning (in this case) goes beyond the potential dangers of covid. Myriad people are wearing masks and observing social distancing &c., ...
Physical contact, which was already becoming swiftly antiquated in our high tech world, is one of the biggest casualties from this pandemic panic. New...
On it's own, absolutely not. I think that it's effect on the world has been somewhat devastating, but we have yet, not even begun to see the slightest...
I'm not speaking of contagion, the idea I am putting forth is that when flu season strikes it will do what it always does. You don't have to be very o...
I like your passion, but we just have a different work ethic, I can respect that. Sometimes being responsible and disciplined requires one to push har...
Philosophy should only be a personal endeavor, because philosophy will not enable you to change the world, nor will it enable you to change anyone els...
It is appaling how fast the tyranny of the masses can effect a new "new normal". I'm pretty sure the "old normal" is dead and extinct. I mostly feel b...
You are hilarious :lol: I've never heard anyone refer to "reliability", or to "going into work" as a bad habit. Personally, I have always, regarded un...
I see no reason why consciousness should be exclusive to organic lifeforms. If consciousness is indicated by the impulse towards self organization, wh...
It is going to be very interesting to watch what happens when flu season really pops off in the next few months. It is highly likely that masses of pe...
I have nothing in particular to contribute, just experimenting with thought. I will just add, like everything else, postmodern values are not necessar...
Yes, Hollywood definitely does, and I think it does it in a very irresponsible and socially unhealthy way. As far as a new set of values, I believe mo...
I like where you're taking this. I don't deny objective truth exists, I just hold it to be a different (and a lesser) kind of truth than subjective tr...
I believe I am a subject, and I believe in other subjects, and though it is impossible to objectively prove that there is no such thing as subjectivit...
Same with me, my thoughts here are closely tied in to my religious belief. At the core of it, I believe anything in life is only related to anything e...
Quantification is nothing more than mediation with mathematics. And since it is possible for the thinking individual to mediate anything in life, all ...
The only thing I would amend is the notion of mathematical phenomenon and lived phenomena. The former is a contradiction of terms and the latter a tau...
Exactly, just like the claim: "it's raining except for when it isn't". To bring it back to the OP, when it is true that it actually does, that would b...
Let's suppose you bought a dozen eggs, you are no longer dealing in pure mathematical truth, you have now introduced something external and independen...
If it's not worth explaining again, it probably has no merit. And I can easily prove wrong the proposition: "objective truth is not a thing", because ...
mathematical truth is purely conceptual, as such it has no relation to life and hence no objective actuality, which means nothing can be apprehended a...
Yes, and the truth of consensus is not excluded. But I can arrive at my subjective truth via reflection - what I think I believe at present, and altho...
No, they are not synonyms. I find this to be a common misconception. Subjective truth is not relativistic, and because of its immediacy, it is probabl...
The scientific method, followed by conventional history, seems to be the closest process by which we arrive at "objective truth", and whatever that is...
