Love is a traceable notion that supersedes time because it is nature. Love isn't an emotion, it's a biological commitment to mating for life. It might...

There is no such world as "virtually global". No one causes alienation and hate in a local population. Nationalism is not evil, neither has it come to...

It's the dictionary definition. It's not vague, it's rather precise.

Because the idea that consciousness is exclusive to humans gratifies yearning and fear, in relation to the unknown, creating an illusion of intrinsic ...

So why would you then say, given the dictionary definition in addition to the description you've provided, that the word "contradiction" shouldn't be ...

One contradiction is that, from the simplest to the most complex organism, all species are living and dying in simultaneous conflict against both life...

Uri Geller has been debunked on several occasions. No one can bend things with their mind, and there were no "strict lab conditions" except those of e...

You want me to briefly summarize all organic life from the beginning of time? Life began as a contradiction, began at war with itself. There are two t...

I saw a photograph yesterday of a bunch of people looking at the sky, I guess I should convert to whatever religion they adhered to. There are 6.5 bil...

That you're convinced of it doesn't make it evidence. Juries don't buy mysticism and they don't buy "I'm innocent" as a defense. Why are you talking a...

I don't believe you're listening to the words I'm saying, or that you have any interest in discourse, or that you understand these incessant copy/past...

Atheism isn't a denial that others believe in gods. It's an absence of the belief that gods exist--there's no other parameter.

I don't believe either claim is based on reality. I believe one is based on egoism and assertion of dominance and the other is based on compassion and...

Regardless whether it's correlation or causation, it points to the result I'm referring to, that humans have no free will, no control over brain funct...

The only way to "put forth atheism" is to state that I don't believe in gods. There is nothing else attached to it. And there's no need to copy paste ...

This reminds me of Sam Harris claiming, as a scientist, that transcendental meditation can reveal reliably things about the inner workings of the brai...

Those experiments are demonstrably unreliable, and those who've conducted them under scrutiny from the scientific community. In addition to this, neur...

If you've read all of his work, then there's certainly no reason to subject yourself to it again.

Still drawing a blank here. What does my wanting anything to be or not be have to do with anything? Wanting to see a truck won't make one appear, and ...

You'll have to clarify your meaning because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about or how it relates to anything I've said.

I'm not saying it affects the validity of his claims or conceals the annoyance of his contradictions. All I'm saying is that, much like the Bible, it'...

What makes it a "rabbit hole", please explain that term for me. I have read and understand Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but I don't see how it di...

Why are you talking about a ball of rock as if it has a soul? And how is it "stupid" that a parasitic species would move on after destroying its host?...

By the definition of existence, a concept doesn't "exist" because it has no "life or real being". Now I'm annoyed because while looking up the diction...

Did you just use the grade school rubber glue counter on me? That's genius.

It does if you read the definition and evaluate it in context, in the way it's used by a vast majority of people to mean a specific thing.

I didn't assume that evolutionary biology "amounts to a total account of human nature". That we're self-aware and use language makes us a bit easier t...

See if you can attempt intellect without falling blindly into sarcasm and insinuation. See if you can string a sentence together without deprecating y...

You can experience genetics by observing their behaviour, and then you can have your findings peer reviewed by a number of critical experts who attemp...

So what you're saying, in summary, is that you're a troll.

Are you attempting to introduce some vague problem you read about somewhere and likely don't understand--in an attempt to throw down my position--in a...

I don't need to read your conversation for context or insight into a separate conversation, but thanks for patting yourself on the back in front of me...

That someone isn't me because I've looked into the scientific, philosophical and social uses of the term in present day humanity. Imagine what I found...

You have so many empty words. What does that even mean, that you know you're wrong and you want to bring everyone down with you? I'm not sure what you...

Yet in excess they're detrimental, so they can't be inherently moral.

We are not born a blank slate though, obviously. We have billions of years of genetic coding inside us. Your grammar is terrible. If you believe that ...

You are humiliating yourself. Demonstrate to me where anyone has shown reliable empirical data in the form of a subjective assertion based solely on t...

So where from that definition have you derived individual experience? Observation and experiment. "A former school". The natural sciences. Knowledge o...

I already quoted it, you might be blind, and for that I don't envy you.

I just said there is a dictionary definition. This is not about my definition, it is about objectively defining a word, and one of the few places to d...

It isn't the definition in the dictionary I just looked at. What I found was use of the scientific method, not the perspective of the senses of the in...

You aren't using a reliable dictionary, what is that, Oxford?

As many times as it takes for you to present something other than a snapshot of your ignorance. You haven't presented a reasonable argument against em...

I respect some of what's called philosophy, and philosophy by definition fits what I'm practicing here. If you don't like what I'm saying, then argue ...

But it isn't groundless, so everything you said was emptiness and a failure. You can't just arbitrarily pull a vacuous argument out of your ass and ex...

The same questions aren't being asked within empiricism. Very different questions are being asked, and progress is evident. The same questions are bei...

What is wrong with this statement, what's unclear about it? Let me make it more clear, let me spell it out: the final outcome of philosophy is its ori...

If by saying that I need to read things more closely, you mean you're admitting that you didn't read my commentary prior to attacking it, and I've rea...

I have never said that experience is any kind of magic ingredient, and I have never said that science is based on individual experience. I'm not sure ...

Are you aware of them being self-aware? How can you possibly equate experience of any indeterminate kind with an aptitude for science based on an awar...
