Sorry about joining so late. What happens to the conscious after death? That I'd like to know too. Theories and fantasies may abound; evidence is non ...

They had less intellectual debris to face. So their minds made up the missing stuff in the cracks of knowledge, and since the majority of creation thu...

I would have asked instead, what is your favourite object or ice cream to lick. But I am me.

You spake well, this what you wrote is very good. Your freedoms have been deemed necessary to be curtailed because we try collectively to combat a nas...

This somehow expresses a disagreement of how I worded CI. But... but, you refrained from actually giving your wording of it. This is not acceptable. A...

So far you all had good points... very good points. Somehow I tied the freedom to political freedom with introducing the problem by presenting the tit...

My understanding of the CI is "do any action if and only if you think everyone in the world would not disbenefit from it, even if all and everyone did...

No. There is no slave without a master. How in the world did you come up with that? A slave is only a slave because he or she is owned. Once not owned...

You're right. But the implication applies in special case of sex. I'll spell it out for you: Gay men like being fucked. Straight men don't. Straight w...

Hehe. Do you even bother to read, remember, or consider anything you, yourself write?

The categorical imperative, in its simplest expression, says a bible quote, "Do unto others as you wish to be done unto you". In this sense, the gay m...

Understanding processes how they work is a vital part of survival skills. Their precision with correspondence to reality is key. More precision, bette...

Human-created and human-delivered rational analysis is the process one can expect from individuals that have been indocctrianted in a framework that e...

It is not a master-save relationship. I would brush up on learning the evolutionary process if I were you and wished to understand natural processes o...

I am sorry. So the first quote in this post, where I quoted you, was made in jest, as a parody? How would I know that? Because I certainly disagree wi...
November 23, 2020 at 15:13
Indeed, my post was non-committal, but personally, I agree with you.
November 23, 2020 at 07:57
We already established that your defintiion of metaphysics is individual, and its name stands for anything imaginary, conceptual, or fictional. Those ...

Kant was doing himself, and his self is a container for his last name. So technically he was not a virgin, as penetration in a--oh, boy,--metaphysical...

Obiously you are hugely unenlightened. :-) But don't let my destroying your arguments deter you. All unenlightened philosophers have gods -- not a tru...

Your second premise is wrong. Nico is only a unicorn if he or she exists. But flying spaghetty monsters don't exist, and there are no unicorn fossils ...
November 22, 2020 at 20:47
This is interesting. Could you please cite in normal language what inconsistent worlds i contain within that I am committed to? I may not even start a...

True, true. Each to his own. And then we duke it out.
November 22, 2020 at 18:55
as per your definition. Some would define me as married, by their definition, and the government definition is that I am not married. In the understan...
November 22, 2020 at 18:54
thanks for clarifying your defintion of "metaphysical reality". I accept it as yours; but please do understand that this is not a definition by consen...

You said find a proof for the existence of something, and I gave a proof not complying with that. All healthy Humans have a nose. Alfred is a healthy ...

All humans like bananas. Paul is a human. Therefore Paul likes bananas. Here, each premise (either one of them) does not contain the conclusion. Toget...

I wish you'd visit my post there. (Just click on any part of my portion of the quote above here. It will take you there.)
November 22, 2020 at 17:30
Yes, but it excludes the possibility of being virtuous. You have already placed a lot of stake on being virtuous. Being non-virtuous is being immoral....
November 22, 2020 at 17:28
Less transparency. Support from facts other than just stating the conclusion in the premis. Support form things independent from the idea of god that ...

Seeking and finding is different from experiencing and developing. Inner search? Enlightenment has a specific meaning: to have a great revelation to a...

I believe that music appreciation (along with appreciation of all other art forms) is the result of a mutation. It proved to be supremely helpful in s...

Panpsychism may be popular, but nowhere near the popularity of the Spice Girls or of Justin Bieber.

Humans have more than five senses with the aid of machinery. We translate the machine-sensed ultra-human sensations into human sensations, and we inte...

Let god exist. Therefore god exists.

This gets my vote. :100:
November 22, 2020 at 11:27
This pretty well describes the consensus of atheist ethicists. I am not an academic or a trained philosopher. Therefore please take this call by me wi...

The ultimate utopia is God's heaven -- many religionists bellieve that. The ultimate utopia is the worker's paradise as Marx, Engels and Lenin envisio...
November 22, 2020 at 09:39
For me this has settled the debate. If someone brings up metaphysics in any rational argument, to me, AND I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF, it signifies that t...

You gotta love this forum.

Not precisely. Because the legal system is one factor that affects future events. The law says "killers will be punished if caught". This is a factor ...
November 21, 2020 at 03:07
This is so true. To me it proves, though, that there is no such thing as a will independent of influences already started in the past. The crunch of t...
November 21, 2020 at 02:52
This is an excellent question. So is the question, what does "natural" mean in these expressions. To me "natural" means, on one hand, nature given, on...

I think we must petition the med officer that during masturbation as well we ought to wear masks, and socially distance ourselves from ourselves. This...

I am magnetic, in this sense, that I find myself attracted to the opposite, but I do celebrate sexual diversity. To deny a block of people sexual joy ...

A bit of a Strawman, but hey, I can get tired of telling people what is wrong with their arguments. If you page back, the remark of the cat being dead...

So... have you given up all your worldly possessions very much lately? This is actually a very serious question I ask. If yes, good for you, you fulfi...

Binary genders as such started first with the first digital computers. It's basically O-s and I-s. I shan't elaborate.

All good questions. When a person shoots someone else down, he can argue. "I did not kill the person. The bullet did." Who is to blame? the person who...

I don't look at it as liberty. I look at it as your duty that you pay to your country and people. It is the yoke you bear for your family; you protect...

I wasn't there. I don't condone violence, but there may have been causes why the husband became abusive. I did not read the book. Again, violence is n...
