What is Faith to you? Or what do you feel it is best to have faith in?

Have you done any research into ethical pragmatism? I can't offer you objective moral truth by your definition as I cannot claim to know it. I just ha...

Or marry my kids haha

This is great! Very well put. There is almost an element of literalist definitions of ethics and morals. Specifically; Value. Values are the objective...

So to stay on OP, I think that past philosophers would struggle in this venue but that it would truly separate the wheat from the Chaffe and some woul...

Thought provoking post I have to say. Personally; I have found that this community is where I have done the most growth and that the battleground is a...

I have to say, this is probably one if your more sensible threads in my honest but unbiased opinion @"Bartricks" I feel it highlights the virtues of t...

Sorry swallows I forgot to respond here. Personally I agree that Christianity should be more left leaning than it currently is, or some practices of i...

The fantasies here are your time lines. Did you forget about the whistleblower and the released transcript of the white house call? Do Me a favour, no...

For example; a lot of us here can probably notice with some quick introspection that they have probably been motivated to act at times by thoughts abo...

This is my feelings on the matter too. I feel the universe has it's own dichotomy of control. Determinism is one side of that dichotomy. Will of Life ...

We have though; there are countless twin studies on aging that have been done. Admittedly most of these studies are usually in the fields of geriatric...

Your form of Nihilism sounds more like moral defeatism. Is this due to a lack of justice in the world? Your belief I mean? Why do you really think mor...

Does my use of the word problematic mean something that is impossible? That's not what I mean. I mean that all challenges inherently have problems as ...

in Islam he does but either way its the narrative I want us to look at. This story influences my political outlook. That of adaptive centrist; knowing...

Cognitive dissonance about cognitive dissonance? The mental acrobatics here are impressive in their own way sometimes aren't they? Almost flawless exe...

I couldn't agree more. Even parent intuition is easy to explain from this view point. How many times a day am I afflicted with the memories of the dan...

Stay on topic. You can't push Trumps criminality away with a barge pole so don't even try. None of what I have said has been a falsity. Compared to th...

Those are part of the same postulates you are speaking about? It isn't based on assumptions either it is based on evidence and fact. Astronauts age di...

Agreed. The whole "Oh but you have to seek investment and right now we are investing in the united states!" is a load of BS too. The investments went ...

Social awareness is very important. Educating is the supreme importance though. Diverse education.

What fallacy was that? I'm pretty sure what I said was that I'm assuming you are going to multiple sources but pointing out you aren't assuming that o...

What do you think Wisdom is? I feel I've still not come up with a satisfying answer for myself yet.

I do believe it isn't easy. Nothing is ever easy and there is no such thing as a 'simple' wish. If we start broaching into thinking that some people a...

What about those amazing individuals we all know who seem to not only want but need to put other peoples wants ahead of their own? Friends, family etc...

Neutral criterion. Knowing how demanding something is useful for positive or negative endeavours. What say you to a principle of challenge? I definite...

This is one of the most important points to raise in metaethics and ethics; Its called the Demandingness problem. It's a key question to ask of any mo...

Also you are awesome for having brought these two up! I love Wilberforce and now you must tell me about Equiano as I'm unfamilliar but already fascina...

My response is going to be short here; Morality is Challenging, Challenges are always problematic. That is why they are Challenges.

I agree this is my intuition on the matter as well. Simply due to the knowledge that gravity stretches time. As for the Postulates; I don't like to as...

How repeatable was this observation? How consistent? I'm only vaguely aware of the summaries of a few of the studies but I'd need to go deeper to dete...

Well, what I percieve to be intuition; is right now telling me to point out that obviously two twins age differently when apart. Time is relative. If ...

I'm reading all sides of the news or at least as many as I can. It's not difficult to find sites that indicate political leanings and I'm assuming tha...

I'm never sure where I stand on probability but whether the universe is entirely probabilistic I cannot say. What I'm sure of however, is we are ignor...

What does intuition mean to you though? I've got what my answer is or what I think it might be but I'm curious to know yours. Do you think it might be...

Except I'm not saying that of everyone who disagrees with me? Just you. I also don't think you are a "BOT" either. All I've said is you act Russian an...

Also, should say either Trump be Impeached or defeated in the 2020 elections there will be one thing that will stop Trumps whitehouse dead in its trac...

Not for much longer. Have faith and heckle the fuck out of your local senator and Republican senators with duties which require them to have open line...

I was homeless for a time. Of course homeless people are the types to take relationships seriously. Or what would be a better way to put it is trust i...

I have not read the Kabbalah. Can you summarise or expand on that? Same Joseph as Genesis, son of Jacob. Islam identifies him as a Prophet. So you're ...

So is that the same as saying all republicans are complicit in being on the Dictatorship side? I don't think that makes them Republican anymore. I do ...

Does that Atlantic article not generalise a lot of individuals from the common man trump supporter to republican senators? Some of them are genuinely ...

Me too; I'm also hoping Trump publically testifies in the senate trial answering questions from both sides. He's a Damn liability to himself. It doesn...

Certainly. I've yet to meet a verified Trump supporter calling US foreign Policy in Ukraine "Meddling" however such thick concepts to describe US dipl...

@"NOS4A2" I'm not suggesting a troll. I'm suggesting a Russian commandeered individual. Russian talking points and a certain affect that while Russian...

Also it's not exactly easy for the Ukrainian president to come out and say he is being bullied by the US president. Would make him look weak so why th...

It's only hokum if somehow a large number of common dictionary meanings changed over night while no one was looking; but when I hear phrases like "Did...

Definitely murky legal issues about the aid. What isn't so "Murky" is the mounting evidence that President Trump attempted to use that aid to extort a...

We are free to speculate however I'm still waiting to the counters on my non "might be Russian" points so if my arguments are weak then no one is sayi...

Depends really on whether or not you are playong as black and what the opening moves are. As a rule if, I'm playing white I can afford to wait until b...
