Okay thanks!

>:O Blasphemy!
February 04, 2017 at 17:08
Can you specify what this difference is concretely? Hmm Bergson seems interesting. Is there anyone who explores Bergsonian ideas in a modern context t...
February 04, 2017 at 16:56
That's like me, although for me too care shows at the top. But your scores on care and fairness though .... pff your morality is like perfect :-O did ...
February 04, 2017 at 16:48
No - look at TGW, he's classified as conservative (despite having care at the top). It's a more complex algorithm I think, but obviously I don't think...
February 04, 2017 at 16:46
Which means very little in practical terms. I have almost 0 knowledge of Bergson, so forgive me, but why does he call it dualism if the two don't have...
February 04, 2017 at 16:45
Right... where do instincts go after death? Instincts apart from the body make little sense for me.
February 04, 2017 at 16:43
That's a form of monism if it has dissolved the line between the two.
February 04, 2017 at 16:41
Me neither lol. The relative ones are the relative weighting of that respective factor compared with the other factors (that's why they add up to 100%...
February 04, 2017 at 16:40
I'm asking dualists, not you. You're not a dualist. So be quiet :P
February 04, 2017 at 16:37
When I saw this one, I said there's something wrong (but not maximum wrongness) with feminists seeking to do this. They should just open women only cl...
February 04, 2017 at 16:33
Okay but if you analyze my scores, it doesn't seem I fit the left-liberal pattern. For one, left-liberals show a tendency for high scores in care and ...

Do you mean before birth my soul exists like a stone exists? Well one can certainly find a stone, but I doubt they can find my soul before I am born.
February 04, 2017 at 16:25
>:O Then what's the mumbo jumbo of soul existing? In what sense does it exist if it has no experience? Yes, from its point of view it doesn't.
February 04, 2017 at 16:24
Then in what sense did I exist before birth? No experience means no existence, except as a potential maybe, which doesn't say much.
February 04, 2017 at 16:17
No it's quite serious actually, because I don't understand what you're seeking to say. I don't see instances of thoughts kicking stones. I only see in...
February 04, 2017 at 16:12
Where is the soul before birth? Why don't I remember anything?
February 04, 2017 at 16:11
I don't think it's crazy at all. From a pragmatic point of view, there's nothing worse than a traitor. That's why, for example, in Chinese strategy ma...
February 04, 2017 at 16:11
:-} Right and this soul goes out of the body upon death and into some other realm right? Where was it before birth? Why don't I remember anything?
February 04, 2017 at 14:46
>:O Like 30% of the questions are sexually related... I've done it and.... disaster :P : /uploads/resized/files/52/wtbo0svk72riwuw1.png It says I am a...
February 04, 2017 at 13:48
No I can't accept that. It wouldn't have been good to betray the Nazis, it would have been good to oppose them. That is different. Everyone hates trai...
February 04, 2017 at 13:35
So it seems you are denying premise (3) . So you think non-empirical objects are perceived empirically. I'd say this is just false. Or alternatively, ...
February 04, 2017 at 11:14
... How do you conceive of such a thing? Can a foot and a stone be at the very same point in space at the same time? How is that possible? No, feet an...
February 04, 2017 at 11:08
Yes, TLP has greatly influenced me. There is a reason why I call Wittgenstein my favorite philosopher. Personally, TLP has taught me a kind of deflati...
February 04, 2017 at 11:06
No, it's never good to betray them. Betrayal involves deception, and that's never good. Having character emerges out of loyalty - it is loyalty that s...
February 04, 2017 at 11:00
Personally I found the test better relative to the others. I found that even on those questions where something had to be sacrificed, because of the g...
February 04, 2017 at 10:56
Loyalty is the most relevant in my opinion. There's probably nothing that I dislike more than betrayal. Having character is equivalent to loyalty - lo...
February 04, 2017 at 00:38
Your only option really, is to think with John of a Big Mind which provides the forms of space, time and causality - back to Berkeley. In Kant/Schopen...
February 03, 2017 at 23:56
But you also presuppose a model of space which individuates. That model of space isn't the space itself... And as space is ideal (as opposed to empiri...
February 03, 2017 at 23:29
The latter is really just a degree of certainty or if not then it's just pure logical plausibility.
February 03, 2017 at 23:21
The thing though is that a lot of what you'd see as unorthodox wouldn't be perceived as unorthodox by other orthodox Orthodox Christians :P
February 03, 2017 at 23:15
How would you define believing something then?
February 03, 2017 at 23:14
O:)
February 03, 2017 at 23:13
Why stop there? The fact that 3D Euclidean space allows for a plurality of objects is true, but Euclidean 1D space doesn't for example. So clearly the...
February 03, 2017 at 23:13
Another thread!! :P
February 03, 2017 at 23:07
Yes, knowing your views on ethics I'd definitely class you as libertarian.
February 03, 2017 at 23:06
But amongst philosophers Orthodox Christians can be very different from each other. It's one thing to read Tolstoy, and a different thing to read, for...
February 03, 2017 at 23:05
I'm sure it also determines how they appear... Yep, never disagreed on this. Well Tesla certainly didn't like Non-Euclidean geometry :P - but regardle...
February 03, 2017 at 23:03
What do you mean? Belief in itself is a truth claim isn't it? To believe something is to think it true.
February 03, 2017 at 22:55
Well you can be mistaken in both believing or not believing but you have to choose one.
February 03, 2017 at 22:46
But for example I believe in one substance because all other conceptions are incoherent. So it's not only empirical truths that I believe or those giv...
February 03, 2017 at 22:44
Yes, as I said, back to Berkeley you go Because space is an a priori form of our KNOWLEDGE. We know through space, hence space conditions our knowledg...
February 03, 2017 at 22:41
I think I have performed a Copernican revolution actually to tell you the truth, and replaced the question "what must I know to be religious?" with "h...
February 03, 2017 at 22:29
>:O meaning?
February 03, 2017 at 22:25
I think they should stop believing in them then. I believe it simply based on the authority of the Scripture, and recognise that I can't understand it...
February 03, 2017 at 22:24
What allows those axioms to be possible if not space? Why does space allow triangles to exist? Why isn't the nature of space such that triangles are i...
February 03, 2017 at 22:23
Okay but now you've evacuated the whole Kantian concept of a priori space of its meaning as it was given by Kant and Schopenhauer. Space being ideal f...
February 03, 2017 at 22:18
Why do you think so? Have you read Tolstoy's Gospel in Brief? It was one of Wittgenstein's favorite books Why are you laughing it's true mate! >:O I'm...
February 03, 2017 at 22:15
I personally believe that Jesus is God in Spirit, and Man in flesh. But I wouldn't personally be very aghast at a Tolstoy re-reading of the Gospel as ...
February 03, 2017 at 22:13
Kant and Schopenhauer both make the mistake of thinking that what we can perceive is all that can exist, and if we can't perceive it, it can't exist. ...
