The minutiae of the international PR game are pretty funny. Zelensky has been addressing various parliaments for some time now. A couple of days ago, ...
You're the guy who says Putin is entirely justifiable starting a denazifying war against Ukraine, despite the fact that he has ties to neo-Nazis. You'...
ROFL. Your response to my original post had nothing to do with my post. Your second response was again just you soloing. Then I explained Putin's ties...
The only reason it appears sound is because there is a hidden premise: "If Putin himself has no ties to such groups". Here is the leader of the most s...
I don't disagree with any of this. I also didn't think you were defending Putin. I was merely pointing out that it wouldn't follow logically because P...

Well, I wrote about a few things I find problematic about your approach. If you got nothing out of it, then there's probably zero reason to repeat it....
You can spin it however you like, the fact remains that what you tried to do is exclude the possibility of a good life based on our inability of formi...
You wrote that what a good life is will forever remain a mystery. So when you say that "A good life is worth living; conversely, a bad life is not wor...
So, the OP uses a pair of nonsensical terms as a measure of the justifiability of life to show that life is not worth living because... the terms that...
No, there aren't. Words/terms are in principle periphrastically describable in their own language. If they aren't, they probably mean nothing. If term...
Or, maybe, if you had stayed away. But 'we' and 'you' here are euphemisms. They take for granted that you, or the average folk in general, had a say i...
Another aspect of the propaganda that is repeated ad nauseam is that those who are waging the wars are 1) freedom loving but naive liberators who just...
Well, I assume that the God Gregory referred to was the God of monotheistic religions, especially since Aristotle was and is still appropriated by the...
Dunno, why don't you give him a call and ask him. Then get back to us and let us know. Just make sure you do it before the gods of the forum kick you ...
In theology 'God', as in a single God, is usually used for the sole creator God of monotheist religions. Aristotle had no such concept. His 'God', or ...
And I can say, 'man has failed'. It doesn't mean I refer to a single particular man, I just use a collective noun. Just before your first example, he ...
What definition of Deism are you working with? Those provided by Wikipedia and IEP do not take as given your three points. To the points themselves, a...
Lol, those enlightened vets are so funny. In a way, funnier than redneck vets that still suck Uncle Sam's dick. Their "Eureka" moments are precious. I...
Let's hope Westerners, mainly those that care for things other than human rights, the environment and the wild life, will go downhill together with th...
None of that is supported by the article that you linked me to. Erdogan said nothing about securing the airport "if the Taliban agreed". That's not wh...
So, Turkey didn't announce what you said they announced. And Erdogan wanting to meddle with Afghanistan's current situation in order to increase his i...
Nowhere in that quote says that "Turkey has announced its willingness to put its own military at the disposal of the Taliban" or anything remotely clo...
Going by your assumptions (i.e. individualism), antinatalism should be judged on individual basis. It doesn't make sense to treat it as a universal po...
Nope. Not at all, cause either way, she concludes that the free will notion (in the restrictive sense in which she's examining it) was formulated in a...
That they didn't face it 'within' their respective systems is Bobzien's expression. Didn't you find it curious that she had to write that and what she...
You probably couldn't hear me because of your deafening retreat from the original thesis that it was Christians who invented it. Is the concept of fre...
Nice editing. You forgot to quote her when she says that the concept of the will and therefore the problem of free will and of the compatibility of ca...
A basic internet search leads to the aptly named wiki article 'Free will in antiquity'. According to the first sentences... These are the sources... S...
It is not only that freedom is not opposed to equality, they can only co-arise. If you don't have one you can't have the other. And 'the state of natu...
In short, incoherent social darwinism 101. If 'the strong' exploiting 'the weak' is akin to exercising one's natural freedom, the 'weak' exploiting th...
Here's a simple way to put it: Is the world still organized in nation states? If not, what's the way it's currently organized? "I was asking for alter...
The wikipedia article is just bad and it's just an article in an encyclopedia, it's not theory or philosophy. That's why it can fit under the same cat...
I don't need to find out what it is. You asked for a discussion on the conceptual level and I gave you a basic conceptual analysis. Why don't you just...
Democracy is not participatory, it is self-governance. Participation implies other actors beyond the people. Who are these actors? In a typical libera...
