Sure, in that trivial sense everyone agrees. Hume isn't very deep in that way. He also misses the point that, of course, philosophical knowledge (that...
So if usefulness is a reason to be interested in the veracity of a statement, that necessarily means that usefulness is not the same as veracity. Usef...
I presume this involves myself being paid $5 to allow that to happen. But even so, the reward is not enough because money is always gone in the end, b...
Funny story... I have a friend who was somewhat bad with girls, and because other people were making fun of him that he was a virgin, etc. he paid a h...
Yeah, just like the other natural impulses though I will say this. In such situations where there is some risk, people often resort to mitigating beha...
:eyes: I thought you are a Communist, what are you going to do with a million of them if your plan is to get rid of money? Just think how difficult it...
