Dignity is the response by the community when the community senses you have high self-respect AND they feel it justified for you to have it. "If you h...
Therefore there is private language existing in solipsism. Thank you for disproving and/or proving your own thesis. (I forgot whose side you are on......
Well, actually,it's not true. Their love (the love THEY feel, not what we feel for them) stays with them. They can't take it with them, and they can't...
True, this is. My aunt left me a trust fund which was beyond and over and above the grief I ought to have experienced with her passing, but did not. A...
This is a difficult conundrum. If the babies later when they can communicate complex thoughts properly, decide they ought not to have been born, it's ...
I am fluent in two languages. Does it mean I've got two fathers? What about a mother? any mother? This is a genetic nightmare. Little wonder I can't c...
If we could sleep twenty-four hours a day, we would soon return to the primordial slime, the beatitude of that perfect torpor before Genesis-the dream...
On top of that, they'd be too late in doing it, so it's all gone to pieces. Best is to be blessed with an infectious sense of pessimism... spread the ...
I assume this means, "All juicy sex is profanity." Version 1.0. "I wish I had some... I wouldn't be so pessimistic any more." Version 2.0. "I wish my ...
Version 1.0. But best of all, best to be a woman. (I, God Must Be Atheist, did not say this. Cicorian did.) Version 2.0. The Kingdom of Consciousness ...
Version 1.0. 1. God cannot judge us. He suffers none. 2. Second part is a sentence fragment... meaningless. Version 2.0. 1. All judges appointed to co...
Verrry interesting. For now I would like to add only, that the driving force in an anarchistic society is also pragmatism, but it happens without soci...
Brett and Wallows, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you both on your occasion of revealing just how great the two of you are, reflected...
We don't know what becomes of our consciousness when we die. Zilch knowledge. Lots of faith and belief, but knowledge? None. A person who suffers in t...
You're absolutely right. That's why I made no bones about it, and did not declare that my proposition is the ultimate answer. I came out straight away...
All lies about facts contain an element of truth. If a mind is capable of distilling the common elements in the lies, then chances are that the mind i...
A heap is what I call a heap; a non-heap is what I call a non-heap. The transition is therefore up to me, since the ultimate judge for me who decides ...
This is one fancy way to say what everyone else has been saying: we don't know how consciousness connects to our bodies. As Mark Twain said,"Everyone ...
- study about Christian forgiveness. - study about Buddhist need-not-want-not. - study about the divine providence and heavenly justice - anger consum...
In a dream or in solipsism I do not own or experience another person's consciousness with whom I'm conversing. It maybe imaginary, but I have no contr...
1, Freedom to eliminate waste. 2. Freedom to inhale air at any given time (provided it's necessary.) 3. Freedom to pursue the blue bird of happiness (...
You came to a brilliant conclusion: Ethics is the values placed on behaviour judged for a behaviour's effect for the detriment or for the continued su...
If I read this right, it makes tons of sense to me. However, there are too many "as"-es that obscure my language skills in trying to parse this senten...
I am sorry, but that's precisely what you said. Over and over again. There is no denying it -- the entire conversation is there to stand witness to it...
There is nothing left to say. If someone says nature behaves unnaturally, AND he insists it's true, then there is nothing left that you can say to him...
You call BB unnatural because you know very little about it, and what you know is not factual, but imaginary fantasy. All the matter in the universe w...
Whatever. It happened. And it's unnatural to call natural events unnatural. I told my religious uncle, who is a very smart Jew, before the Hadron coll...
It's for him to know, and for us to find out. Hehe. If he handed it to us on a silver platter, a lot of research scientists could no longer drive a Po...
I think it does. Several incredibly stupid insights: the Earth is 6000 years old, give or take a thousand years. Man ate from the tree of knowledge so...
Leading scientists have ALWAYS addressed issues that had been unpalatable. Starting with Socrates, whom the town elders and other judges condemned to ...
Oh, I forgot the scape goats. Every revolution needs a scape goat. Jews were that of the Nazis; the Czar, his family and the aristocrtacy / clergy wer...
When talk comes around to Monopoly, I primarily think of the Parkers Borthers game. To shake up the oligarchical system of the USA, be it politics or ...
Dfpolis, your style sucks in the best of thinkers at first, but later they realize you are trolling and they abandon you and responding to your posts ...
Dfpolis, your argumenting style resembles to me more and more the style that Logic used to use on a slightly different website. That style is learned,...
My criticism stands both ways. Both if you consider explanation verbal, and if you consider explanation effective. You more and more resemble someone ...
Your conclusion is a non-sequiteur, and it does logically not follow. You said something completely incongruent to my statement. You made an absolutel...
Mark Dennis, discrimination and racism has nothing to do with ethics or morals. It has to do with unjust cruelty. Which moral precept is vaginized by ...
This is actually not true. A lower-level movement can create a higher-level movement, and there need not be, there is no, actualization process. Your ...
Dfpolis, your wording lends itself to all kinds of fallacies, this time I believe it's a strawman. Alcontali claimed (I wasn't there, but I believe yo...
Still. Where does god enter the picture? Just because something is not explained, (the finite to his self) AND assuming an explanation is possible, it...
Yes, Higher level organizations can be predicted, but not their laws from knowing how lower level organizations work. But it has been a given that all...
...what cannot be explained by itself. It can be explained, by another... be it another finite being or be it an infinite being. But either way, the a...
