"There is no single morality" is just a prevalent attitude, what inclines you to think that it's also true? You talked about "natural law" - that is a...
Okay - so what's your point? The fact that people can't agree what morality is, is part of the problem that we need to overcome to bring morality back...
Hah! Circus always attracts people. Why do you think the Romans put slaves to fight inside the Colosseum while they watched? I agree with this, but th...
But I really don't understand this. It's not like your pain is any lessened if you trash the place and can't give a shit about it. It's like telling m...
Something needs to drive no? When you remove morality and virtue from its place, it will definitely be replaced by something. Money and guns are quite...
Exactly - now the religious people are oppressed because of the values they hold! What a sham! These politically correct, identity politics cronies, k...
I'm not defending Trump - I'm a social conservative, I'm defending voting Trump as a strategic social conservative vote, even though Trump himself doe...
On your profile page you quote a staunch theist, and two atheists - I'm not sure what to believe! "Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is ...
I understand your point, but trust me (or believe me! as Donald J. says) - it won't change anything. I'm from an ex-Communist country, these "increase...
If it is indeed limited, then there is no way to grant it to those who lack it. If person X thinks of me as inferior, and I know they think of me as i...
It's impossible though. Self-esteem is something internal, not external. The fact they are seeking self-esteem outside of themselves is the problem, n...
Nothing than the old scheme of oppression that the New Left has always been peddling. "Don't force us to live the way you want, we'll force you to liv...
Really? Could you defend this please? I don't happen to agree. It's principled to vote for someone who is helpful for your principles succeeding. Trum...
Okay so you suppose then a social conservative should vote for Crooked so that the progressive culture Obama has created is continued and made even st...
I am not supporting him, I am voting for social conservatism, which in this case implies picking the least evil out of two bad choices. There's a big ...
Have I "defended him"? No. I just said why social conservatives should vote for him, while condemning his actions, pure and simple. >:O - of New York'...
And did I say anyone should vote for Trump for his sexual morality? Absolutely not. As I said, for social conservatives it's a strategic vote. Hillary...
This seems to be true for most - but it is indeed possible for reason to rise above these otherwise personal limitations. I've been quite a risk taker...
Earnings seem very high there, you probably have high costs of living as well. In Eastern Europe where I live, there are much less than 0.001% of peop...
You're a writer you say. Why don't you work as a freelance writer then? You can specialise on whatever you want. I worked as a writer on my own part-t...
My apologies! Yes, these are issues a psychologist, especially a good one, could be very helpful with! This is most important to deal with in order to...
Quit the medication. Find a PSYCHOLOGIST on the side. He will be helpful in battling the psychiatrist, and teaching you how to cope without medication...
Yes this is the effect of the SSRIs. I've been on them and they do more harm than good - they make one like a vegetable, without any desires. I would ...
Look man, You're very young. In just another thread you were inquiring what you should study at university. You're barely finishing high school. It's ...
I might as well add: Max Picard - modern mystic author of the Flight from God - a significant philosophical and Platonic diagnosis of modernity Michae...
Oh yeah, very many experts and public figures express support for "The Secret" too - does it mean that "The Secret" isn't pseudo-philosophy? I doubt m...
Yeah you can take it as whatever you want. The fact of the matter is that you haven't addressed my points. 1. Almost all religions have required monks...
Any reference for this please? It's not meant to be an argument. I'm not mounting an argument there - merely making a point. You should know better th...
Yes, when we read a conservative point of view, it is certainly based on extremely questionable assumptions! Monks have been celibate in almost all re...
But it's not his betrayal that upsets me - it's that an injustice has been done. The injustice demands justice - punishment. I'm not upset that I can'...
Are you the guy who generally shouts and yells "I'm not angry at all!!!"? :-* Good, then I'm waiting for your better attempts, so that I can laugh pro...
Hamann is the theist's David Hume, although unlike Mr. Hume, religion and morality were quite significant to him - he was no moral relativist, and unl...
Yes indeed, I actually quite thought that it is my fault, and just as usual I would be the only one to blame. But then I saw that the same thing happe...
@"Terrapin Station" bruv, I think @"John", just like @"Sapientia", may be an Aspie. Who would have thought we have two of them! Seeing that you so exp...
How touchy you are John... :P I was only joking. Indeed, I can clearly see that you are not a politician ;) - but I certainly thought you had picked u...
Are you sure? Do not many criminals murder in order to gain the money they need to feed their child? Is this not a crime motivated by love, and thus h...
That's still a somewhat quaint desire for superiority isn't it? Only that now you're doing it in comparison to yourself. You haven't stopped comparing...
Good - let's see what you can do ;) Well being an anxious and paranoid bastard can certainly be helpful - certainly it has helped me in work related m...
G.K. Chesterton - his writtings are philosophical but very practical. He knows and understands the value of humor - which is rare for anyone dabbling ...
Mathematics, not logic, is needed to reconcile QM and Relativity. Actually not even that, but rather a new, more general theory, expressed in mathemat...
