A screwdriver is an individual thing. Its qualities, likewise, are individual things. So any relative application of the screwdriver would appear addi...

It's because additional meaning dissolves in to a partition of the original. You're no longer adding on to but discovering of. And the original always...

A screwdriver is always a screwdriver. With the added meaning that relation grsnts, it becomes a screwdriver+. Go back to the first sentence and reali...

Partly, not entirely. The screwdriver is a screwdriver in relation to its application. It doesn't need that relation to be a screwdriver, but the rela...

How many manys make many manys much too many? :chin:

Unless you have a toothache.

I've eaten my own meat. So either I'm human or I'm not.

Firearms are irrelevant. Everyday on the news I hear someone killed his wife or kid or both. Everyday 10 people die from famine, another 10 from car '...

Polynesian tribes, old Mesoamericans and old Celts all practiced ritual cannibalism. Is it right or wrong? Neither. Ritual cannibalism allows for the ...

Why are you acting like this is an American problem when it's clearly global?

What even is political correctness? Is it an arbitrary mechanism for selective interfacing, akin to military programs? Is it the base of discussion, w...

It's the oldest trick in the book, as the saying goes. You make the audience watch one hand and con them with the other. There's a folktale called 'Si...

Because it's not part of the script.

Free will is not an illusion, but its freedom is limited. A chess piece can only move within the confines of the chessboard, and free will whilst free...

Due to parts being capable of err, which is to say not fit. Whereas an absolute divinity, is unable to err, as it has nowhere to fit.

Let's compare the ego to water. Water by itself is formless, so it is without context, lacking an expression. It expresses itself in the forms it take...

Those aren't signs of intelligence. Those are human character traits. A calculator doesn't communicate, socialize or create anything - nonetheless it ...

And I said plants have a similar intelligence to man, as all intelligent lifeforms do, despite a difference in faculties. If you want to go off on a t...

Criticism and insults won't free you; merely chain you up somewhere else. All things wax and wane, and in time you'll shed this notion off when it bec...

Experience in the context of anything is valid knowledge. That's the thing off of which claims are based. If you have no experience, you have nothing ...

Doubtful. The relativity of existence itself depends on the absoluteness of existence. Without an absolute, you can't have relative proportions. Relat...

:point:

The relevant difference between the behaviour of humans and the behaviour of rocks is the expressive ego; something that is presumed as the base of se...

All creatures share a similar kind of intelligence; that would be intelligence. Man and a cornstalk? Similar kind of intelligence. Discrepancies are b...

A pair of dice and a flick of the wrist.

Obviously, and no one truly thinks otherwise. If you had people choose between a car that runs on oil, and a car that runs on anti-gravity, the few wh...

Here's a question, is enforced honesty - pure honesty? Before you answer, consider the following: is enforced freedom - pure freedom? Not really. If y...

Doubtful.

Nah.

How about The Wizard of Oz?

Now write that a million times.

Well the most usual/common qualities of something are its distinctive qualities, that every variation has. Like how a distinctive feature of a bicycle...

It'd be one page of the same word written a million times.

Everyday.

That's not true. Each religion is a consequence of many close encounters, which have been described in said religions.

But that's precisely why your advice is needed.

@"Wallows" Make a topic on the healthcare of wallowing, Doc.

Or we can just stick to beliefs. As what even is a belief? A thought you are confident in. The thought that you don't believe, is ironically a belief....

Or they're just acceptance of experience. I think that the issue arises from an unnecessary segregation of things in to the categories of 'scientific'...

Does God exist without religion? Well, do you exist if someone has never heard of you? If it's possible anyway, it's possible spiritually.

Answering questions is a fun exercise, and I'm not scared of making a fool of myself, because we're all fools. :ok:

Does it have to? Maybe, maybe not. What wills the will? Itself? How does it do that? Does it... just do that - on account of nothing? Can't you? Why d...

Is just making noises. Although one may say the purpose of an act is the act, thus it has a purpose; it's equally valid, by the same logic, that the a...

:clap:

Which is equal to having no purpose. Is it? Or is it just babble? Am I trying to accomplish something, or just mindlessly chattering away whatever com...

Sure one can. It's called making noise, innit?

Would you do an essay on Sushi?

I have a question. Isn't the one who doesn't have cause or reason for his assertion, his assertion being that there isn't cause or reason for things, ...

There we go. :clap:
