If I understand you correctly, I agree, but that is not an institutionalised form of democracy, but rather pure cooperation arising naturally between ...
Freedom of choice is a fact of human nature. Some freedoms you ought to protect and others you ought to discourage. For example, you ought not to prot...
That is quite an inspiring story you have there! (Y) Thanks for sharing that. It's always a difficult thing to decide how ambitious you should be will...
:s - I haven't become unknowingly implanted with internet memes - Lying Hillary isn't an internet meme, Donald Trump said it at his rallies. If you st...
Well yes if she wants to have that abortion with my money, I think I have full rights to tell her what to do with her body. Also, she shouldn't be abl...
No, not necessarily. It's not "many many many" who have it out of economic reasons. About 30% according to some statistics I've read. About 2-5% are t...
As I said, I used those classifications symbolically. No, I don't value this. Yes, I think these are quite important. On my property and using my tool...
Hmm well you say good luck with that, but until now you were saying that I made no suggestions, while in truth I had made them. So why is it suddenly ...
Having to earn your living in and of itself doesn't make you a slave, but having a wage under an employer generally does. I've always hated working un...
Democracy is not the opportunity to suggest the system, it's the opportunity to suggest someone to be in charge of particular functions within an alre...
Sure. I think it's a fact that all are free to choose, rather you might mean that their freedom to choose should be protected. Ah, it would be great i...
Why so? If you think I'm a reactionary, then democrats are also reactionaries - they've taken us back to Ancient Greece! But of course, I'd make no su...
No. That is still materialistic. More enlightened materialism doesn't cease to be materialism. Materialism means utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is not...
Well I think at least that I understand that philosophy is lived, but the practice of living doesn't deal in truth, it deals in actions. Those actions...
In terms of philosophy sure, but what about, say, in terms of building a family? Are your words and actions in that case not directed towards the well...
With regards to taking tests, exams and the like, I can say this is true based on my experience. I thought I will fail many tests and exams, and I pas...
All of you blinded democracy lovers should listen to what people like this guy have to say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12teOokSqM It is really b...
One of my friends also told me "you should come with me to XXX place, they have the best steak ever there!" -> is he a liar now, because there's some ...
Yes he made a tiny statement in answer to a question: "Are you for invading Iraq?" which he answered "Yeah, I guess so". That's not a lie. Give me a b...
I don't think it's a hang up at all. It's absolutely important. Democracy has in fact killed some of the most enlightened people who have ever lived. ...
A rational moral framework. Rational discourse. Yes, I've witnessed this too, but the religious people who did that came on the losing end. They are. ...
Indeed, and everyone ought to do them because if they don't, then the particular way of life that the ethics sustains becomes impossible. That is inde...
Okay I see. I did manage to read your post before you deleted though, but I will not go over all the points since you have removed it, something that ...
It is exclusive to the religious person though. That's what I've claimed. I disagree that science can be such a means for a cognitive shift of the kin...
Now, to help faciliate understanding of what I said earlier. When I say: This isn't to be taken to mean that morality isn't objective. But rather that...
Okay watched it (at 2x the speed, so no stress that it's 8mins and I answer faster). I've read Harris before so I'm aware of all this and the one thin...
Wow, relax. I am pointing out that us two have a very different understanding of conservatism, and people should not put us in the same category (as M...
Is this a license to sin? Just because we all fail, failing no longer becomes problematic? To a greater or lesser extent sure. This is false. There ar...
Before I address Hanover's soliloquy against Agustino, did any of you expect Alan Watts to write: "But a meaningless whole cannot evolve a meaningful ...
Yes, he has. Richest White House team in history. So what? I'm not judging his hirelings, I'm judging him now. Okay, I don't think those things are ba...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUbw-goIO5Q See @"Hanover", you are much like Osho's father in terms of what you call conservatism. I'm not, and I wou...
As far as I know, not really. He has maybe been cruel in some business deals, but I wouldn't say he's actually done as much as Clinton. In terms of pe...
hahaha it actually was quite funny! :P Not that I agree with the interpretation, but it's funny. This is better kind of humor. I thought you were goin...
Yeah, I thought so, I didn't mean to suggest you made it up the first time around though (I know very little & vaguely about Jung, so I just wouldn't ...
