The 'autonomy of art', if I'm not mistaken, is the raison d'être of the whole of modernist art. Well then, my friend, you're still shadowboxing with t...
You blindly, deceitfully, talk of Hamas while you willfully ignore pleas for mercy on behalf of the Palestinian people. That sling's only Goliath's ex...
You're so much smarter than me, I have no fucking idea what you're jibber-jabbering about. From the few used tissue shreds of sense you do make, BC, c...
For me the arts are autonomous (Bataille, I think, says "sovereign") and have no need of science. Morality, rather than art, is what needs to be coupl...
Science is not about "truth" per se; it's about reasoning to the best, unfalsified, good explanations of phenomena. And "art", by the way, is studied ...
As Neil deGrasse Tyson says nature "is under no obligation to make sense to you" or Steven Weinberg says "The more the universe seems comprehensible, ...
:100: Everybody's ancestors were fucking slaves at some time. Go suck on that. Just 3-4 generations ago my ancestors were slaves AND, the mulatto ones...
It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where the US disappears as a significant political entity (while other nations / hegemons remain viable and fun...
Conclude whatever you like, Fool, I need extraordinary evidence in order to accept as true the extraordinary claim of "teleology" in evolution (i.e. "...
"Random" (like mystery) = "god did it" in the back of most thick skulls. TMF just refuses to learn how the concept is used (and differs from "chance",...
Nope. Posted without even reading your reply. Now that I have, however, I see that that previous reply (like all the rest of your posts on this topic,...
:up: Apparently, you're still fairly unacquainted with the history of cognitive science and the "schools" of contemporary nonreductive (supervenient, ...
Strawman, , again. "David" is the dispossssed and oppressed Palestinian people and not Hamas (which is merely the goddamn "sling"). Quit appropriating...
That's easy, : on the same side he'd always been on his entire life: David's, and not Goliath's (who, in this case, is the apartheid, ethnic cleansing...

Yes, in the pre-'67 tradition of e.g. Martin Buber and Abraham Heschel. Again, you've made no point, BC, because your moral vacuity deprives you of on...
How about 'if God = the universe if I = virtual wavicle of the universe then I = virtual wavicle of God' or, in other words, each of us is just one, a...
"Spirit" (breath) is rhythm & melody (dancing & singing), child's play (laughter) & imagining "And to see you're really only very small And life flows...
:up: 'What exists' is unambiguously distinguishable from 'what does not exist', otherwise there are no grounds to accept or claim (it) exists. I can't...
Yeah, in that ballpark. From the cheap seats, the practical terms look to me something like this https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/536...
Stop being so lazy! That's what Google, wiki & SEP are for. Pro tip, Fool: search "random" "chance" "chaos" "natural selection" "intelligence" & "mind...
Ah, well. I guess confession is good for the soul, as they say. Or for anatta. So hollow, all you've offered are vacuous echoes. I get it now: there's...
:up: “Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right.” ~H.L. Mencken "With...
Clearly, you don't have an adequate conception of 'random' (or randomness). Big whup. "Somehow" is not grounds for doubting what I've said. "Your "ref...
The atheist rejects theism (maybe even deism too if she is consistently inclusive), or what theists claim about (their) g/G because those claims are e...
This is ignorance. Random events are not repeatable, yet DNA is a discernible pattern of repeatable nucleic events. Hasty generalization. Cite evidenc...
Natural selection, like other chaotic systems, is not random. "Survival of the fittest" applies to species broadly and population groups narrowly, and...
I'd made 12 posts way back in 2015, then life kept me away until fall 2019. I'd been a very active member on the previous site since 2003 and burnt ou...
:100: It's a thing of sheer groin-aching beauty compared to the latest historical atrocity unfolding in real-time which many here are grappling with. ...
Well, apparently, it's written in very old magic books that some do. And plenty of folks are under the infantilizing spell of such magic books. So muc...
I only ever mention my cog. psych. master's to counter fatuous asides like this one and ad hominem insinuations such as "fear" as a motive for holding...
:100: Ethnic cleansing is even worse than slavery. It cannot be "justified" by either politics or religion. Clowns like BitconnectCarlos et al keep th...
