I don't disagree with you, but there needs to be some line drawn otherwise we will find ourselves in an even more absurd position, namely solipsism. I...
Well, yes, as I said it is a cultural practice that has become embedded in some Muslim countries, the Sudanese referring to FGM as pharaonic circumcis...
Hey there Jempy. A good start would probably be Aristotle' Eudemian Ethics but you can traverse through all of his works on Ethics and whilst I am a f...
It isn't Islam, but there are certainly cultural attitudes amongst certain Islamic communities that are violent. Think of Sudanese Muslims circumcisin...
Peculiar how the 'I' was supposed to establish certainty :-} I'm not certain, hence reliabilism. I have never had a migraine before but yesterday I wo...
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd - Voltaire I think the categorical imperative is a type of certainty, that some actions sho...
I agree and postcolonial states that have transitioned to a democratic state often trended toward one-party systems because of their struggles to tran...
A man whose existence is levelled through the applause of his peers, on having the image and tools that showcase his social and economic success by hi...
Come now, life is but a damp squib without a bit of action and surely cryogenics is merely an excuse you are using to not do something since it is cle...
Relax. It is quite empowering using what agitates you right back and against it: clearly you are conscious of the damage people are doing to the world...
In the first instance, what I got from the OP was more a question of whether we are reaching our full potential. It is completely true that the endeav...
This is what I said about relational interactions between a number of various factors but accessing a function whose nature is abstracted from this mo...
The establishment of the military junta in Syria in '63 initially saved lives but what is questionable is the longevity. Corruption in Thailand is ram...
Assad and the Kremlin are clear examples of kleptocracy and strong, bloodthirsty businessmen in governance. Nuclear deterrence may be the price of sta...

Where does the tenses fit into this? As in, things like was/are/is/will etc. Even further still, is language wholly required ? I assume, however, you ...
I would choose Individual A. Individual B is aware insofar as the system goes and as systems are predictable, his 'cognizance' is nothing more than an...
Hey Victorie, welcome to the delightful world of the multiverse :P I am curious as to whether you are searching for philosophical or scientific answer...
I second this. Pseudo-science, mysticism and anything New Age just turns me into: http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/FCP-M5EriZwBy9jJnZnVh7Liuak=/fit-in/1200x960...
Occultism has plagiarized from Hinduism to try and legitimize its position, so it is grossly incorrect to assume it derives from the eastern philosoph...
Really well said, however I think incorrectly interpreted, though an easy oversight. Humanity stands above nature as we are capable of manipulating it...
See, the problem here is that sometimes going through subjective or mental anguish enables you to transform or transcend toward something much better ...
Alice Bailey is a terrible reference. There are a plethora of philosophical arguments on the subject of soul, perhaps give McTaggart a shot or maybe e...
When I had a car accident, my leg was in incredible pain and I suffered from severe angina-like pain induced by myocardial contusion for several month...
I am finding it very hard to connect these two passages: With: Alice Bailey? Madame Blavatsky? Egoic plane? Theosophy - which endorses evil - is not o...
The bonding between two people that transcends to something like 'true love' rather than just mating or what is social or customary, is the mutual con...
This is such a big problem, though. You mention 'love' and suddenly he is screaming and running away naked into the wilderness while you just stand th...
Suffering exposes nothing but the failure of evolution. The suffering itself is imagined by fear that becomes the very cause of their suffering. They ...
Why does it necessarily need to be about erotic love? And, as for the survival of the species, why just humans? What about animals? The environment? E...
What I was attempting to convey was that sometimes survival itself is imagined, so while the function is there, it doesn't necessarily need to be ther...
There is a girl I once worked with - who is 25 now - who attempted suicide about six months ago. I had not seen her for a long while except for once o...
Sometimes our attempts to avoid suffering - such as the self-deceptive behaviour necessary for the survival of a miserly relationship - becomes the ro...
Yeah, there are quite a lot of theories on the astrobiological origins of life, I mean, what was earth before our sun captured it? But, if you want to...
Ok, but what is the concern here, you haven't answered that? There is a lot of cosmic dust hitting the earth - tonnes of it actually if you check out ...
Because it is simple Newtonian physics. What exactly is the reasoning behind your assumption that there would be any measurable effect on the overall ...
Love. All types. Friendship, first and above all because it is only in friendship that one can learn how to give love ("brotherly" love) To create a f...
