If you want to look at it that way. There is plenty human nature left that is not known to be freely occurring in the rest of nature outside of humans...
"Food and Sex are Human Nature." Old Japanese proverb. (It is. I am not making this up.) The problem is... this is the nature of all living animals. N...

Just like the principal (no, not the principle) of the thought you think the corporations are suppressing, the more it gets suppress'd, the more it wi...
I only look old. While in effect I am in my second childhood. "The man is father to the child." - traditional. "The child is father to the man." - Sha...
The Doors, a musical group of the 1960s, wrote and played a song, "Build Me A Woman, Ten Feet Tall". Also, Pygmalion sculpted Galatea. Da Vinci painte...
No. No definitions have been given. You are not right here. I am not meaninglessly bugging you. I am showing you that the entire discussion is meaning...
'Philosophy of Programming' - Why Does This Field Not Exist?There is philosophy of programming. The field does exist. We took it back in freshman year...
This is what I wish you will do about it: define morality. By providing positive, inclusive, and sufficiently delineating parameters. Why do I ask it?...
I think she is looking for headlice. He is shaking in fear, because he knows that if she finds some, he'll become stigmatized. It's a bit like getting...
The other big deal is that people often refer to "morality" as a principle to follow, yet they can't define the principle itself. I find it an empty r...
The big deal is that you asked a question that is impossible to answer. Why ask questions that are impossible to answer? talking about them won't answ...
I don't have that definition. I doubt that you do, or that anyone else does. That was my point. I won't make a decision based on something undefinable...
It's not the people whom I called non-equivalent. It's the questions. 1. You asked to make a moral judgment. 2. Then you said that that is not the que...
Are you changing the question, Cobra? I thought this had been your question: Now you are saying that this is the question: The two are not only non-eq...
The moral question has a pragmatic answer. To seek morals there, you need some moral guidance. One may be the "benefit of society". Bang, that puts yo...
Gladiators were slaves. Period. It did not matter whether they were virtuous or not. Their own wills were not involved in the decision whether to part...
Mayael, that bloke with the high IQ and secret engineering job; maybe you changed his tire because he wanted you to, not because he was incapable. I m...
It's okay by me. I am not sure if it's true, but hey, why not. However, and unfortunately, chances are that this change will cause me to not post more...
What about 3.5 contests per year? 1. January 5, my birthday. 2. November 7, the anniversary of the great Russian Bolshevik October Proletarian Gloriou...
Sorry... I meant the Original Post not the Original Poster. I clarified it in the beginning of my post there. You are not a liar, a cheater, a thief. ...
the reason the OP (original post) comes to the conclusion that average is best, is that literary characters and therefore the moral lessons in literar...
Boy, I even wrote a paper on that! Not published, of course. My point was the same: People needed, it seemed to them, an external force to protect the...
I've had both. TB when I was about 9, and DB since about 45. But on a second take, I think they are both poor man's diseases. The difference lies in T...
Whoever posted that picture of the starving proletars eating a sumptuous dinner, and angry faced, because they can only afford it once every five year...
Thank you! Do you do windows as well? Sorry, I mean, Windows. Are you an editor? Or a kindred poetic soul. I asked Amity that, and she told me to go f...
I have to apologize for not considering this. I only went on the fact that you said you've been poor. In a way, that's a marginalized stratum of a sup...
self-suggested happiness is where it's at. I was for a number of decades grossly overweight. Women looked at me (men too, but that's not of interest t...
I can see that. I remember arguing with some people that wars in the old times were over life-supporting resources, and those wars were justified, bec...
I read your argument. To me you are saying that Atwell agrees that our actions are known to us, as long as they are not mediated by subject-object. Bu...
we are fed by the celebrity phenomenon that rewards make you happy, and the richer you are, the bigger the reward. Money is certainly rewarding. But o...
In each of the instances you cited, the process is the same, but a fissioning nucleus is split by the beta particle of a previously fissioned particle...
The concept of tree and wood are different. Wood does not give birth to anything. Trees give birth to wood, in a sense, by the process of creating woo...
trees are made by papa trees and mama trees, in its most basic. There is also no requirement for the creation to be the same or to resemble its creato...

Illusion is a function of a mind. If mind is an illusion, that the mind itself perceives, then it's not possible, since something can't be borne by it...
What part of your action don't you know? Gimme one example. What part of the effect of your action don't you know? Literally inifinite effects, of whi...
This is on the strength of "cogito ergo sum". Santa's last ditch effort. The revelation of the human condition? The ultimate driving force of humanity...
Not every fallacious reasoning has a name. Whether this one does or not, I don't know. But there may be a chance that it does not have a specific name...
I believe Atwell is wrong. Schopenhauer has no claim over the EFFECT of our actions. Schop makes a claim over our actions, and that's where the buck s...
I'd say the delay in finishing the project is not due to not taking the shortest route most directly and efficiently. It is because the man, the perso...
