A friend of mine compiled this series of nQ-s. Enjoy. It is not philosophy; it is fiction. Mind Your Ps and Qs "IQ, EQ, IDQ,... I really do like the i...
Old money. Neither EQ nor IQ. If you are not totally dumb, but own assets over ten million dollars, you are guaranteed to be a CEO and such-like. They...
Wow. Three people, three different ways of opining what creates motivation to generate wealth. Baker: power. Tom: restlessness out of fear of inaction...
Kudos to you for recognizing fragile self-esteem in men, and more bravos for observing the positive correlation. I can't tell what man has fragile sel...
Again, you cherry-picked the definition out of the complete definitions of the two. You claim there is hardly any if any difference between "argument"...
Overlays: two or more surfaces or layers of reasoning, imagination or description of observed systems, which are independent from each other, and both...
Thank you for your thoughtful answer, Fooloso4. I learned more than what I bargained for in your answer. What I learned is that a philosopher may have...
Both negative and positive human traits (in the Stoic sense) developed equally for they aided survival. I can not argue against that. I did not say, b...
Plato's Metaphysics? I thought the idea was first thought of and the expression coined by Aristotle. How can someone refer to something that was inven...
No leopard, lion or giraffe can be jealous, greedy, vengeful, and argumentative. We, humans, have those traits. I put to you that our "negative" (in t...
I included in my reasoning that a lot more people are wishing to immigrate to the United States than wishing to emigrate from there. There are other i...
That said, my previous post: I am not trying to convince anyone that they should stop trying to live Stoically. Go ahead, this is not a crime, sin, or...
This is true. But I venture to say that to train someone in capitalistic, consumer-oriented, individualist, greedy, egotist, narcissistic behaviour ta...
You discount the fact that randomness has had a much longer time (four billion years on this planet) to effect change than man has had with his intell...
Shawn, you expressed my biggest concern about Stoicism: It can't be mastered. It can't be done. It can't be practiced. That does not diminish its attr...
This constitutes the difference between inner peace and inner calm. However, you did not say which is which. It would be helpful if you were a clearer...
IQ is a measure of a quality. Other qualities exist, which may enhance or diminish what success one with a high IQ may achieve. On the other hand, eve...
This is true, and it's also true that we need not to see things we don't see. Once the teacher is ready, the student appears. The fight for survival, ...
Try to live your life NOT manipulating anything. Then come back and write a report on that. Whether we know or not what we are interacting with, has n...
In my view, and I am the first to admit that this is not the only way to look at what philosophy is, is that philosophy is pre-science. Philosophy is ...
I explained it three times, I think. One gets tired of pointing out the same mistake. If you don't get my reasoning, and stick to your guns, it does n...
... but you claim in your parallel structure of the original argument, that the Grass is NOT green. That you can only claim because you drop the assum...
This is what I meant. You drop an assumption that can't be dropped. If you don't drop the same assumption, then you can't arrive at 9 and at 10. Hence...
7 is invalid reasoning, because you drop off an assumption that can't be dropped. You use the effect of this "drop" in the argument later. However, th...
Funny. This can only be proven by an example. And if I know the example, then it is impossible to use that example. On the other hand, without proof i...
The god theory includes that god is omnipotent. Therefore he can do anything. Not anything he wants to do; but anything. He does not have to do everyt...
There are other and sufficiently good explanations to man's outstanding intellect beside the god theory. But if you want to believe the god theory, no...
I counted precisely 17 things that can't be described in the English language. Here they are, with ordinal numbers designating their spots: 1. 2. 3. 4...
That's science, too. Social science. Moral guidance and social cohesion are good survival tactics for societies. That's why people at universities con...
No, sir, the natural phenomena and their laws are described by humans using mathematics. The natural phenomena do NOT follow mathematical laws. Mathem...
You are your own lord, you do what you wish. If you are not a theist then I'm a discarded cigarette still burning. There is no reason to go off topic....
Sorry, EP, but we can't say that. Instead, we can say this: If the universe contains beauty we can say that a God as we imagine him, knows and values ...
Why can't we have our cake, and eat it too? 1. We could have a "short story" section, for ongoing posting, without competition 2. We could, concurrent...
Who told you this bobimeiser? The universe has no mathematical nature. Man's interpretation and description of the universe uses mathematics. The univ...
This is a good point. Do you know your god's attributes because of the evidence? No, you don't. The evidence does not let you trace back to the creato...
I refuse to stay quite! Who do you think you are to tell me that. (Indignantly refuses to believe the spell-checker, as it may be a device to check fo...
I more-or-less agree, except that if someone is described that he did something wrong (morally or socially) because of mental disease, we tend to forg...
While (incomprehensible philosophical jargon) is incomprehensible, you're right, it is not grounds for woo-of-the-gaps. That is true, and nobody could...
In America you get lynched whether you are a racist, or a race. I think Simone gets positive reviews because fighting mental illness, breast cancer, a...
