DO you think there might be a certain inherent bias in the framing of this thread? All those who are not open about their sexuality, post here...

Given that the victims of the virus are dominated by men who are over 60, there is a very important question that needs to be addressed: Does it pose ...

:up:
May 08, 2020 at 22:24
...anything?

So... the only person defending Trump here is Nos?

WHICH COUNTRIES DO BEST IN BEATING COVID-19?
May 07, 2020 at 11:00
That' just an ad hom; nothing more. It's poor thinking; an exercise in attempting to deny rationality by pretending it's mere powerplay, as if that we...
May 07, 2020 at 02:29
So, in the end, we agree? I'm rather fond of "the view from anywhere". It's the change from "I like vanilla" to "Banno likes vanilla". The overall poi...
May 06, 2020 at 21:55
Sorry - what? Are you still hoping for hidden variables? inconceivable? Too strong. You conceive of it in writing that very sentence. So...?
May 05, 2020 at 09:21
That's very good. Taking it as the basis for a thread on the Cosmological Argument would lead to a far more interesting discussion than is usually the...
May 05, 2020 at 07:43
I disagree; or at the least, this is unproven. It seems to me that my counterpoints still apply. I'll have a read of your link.
May 05, 2020 at 07:22
Depends how boring the Dinner Party is.
May 05, 2020 at 07:16
You are going to use Wittgenstein to defend some form of relativism? This should be good...
May 05, 2020 at 07:14
And when I speak I say even less.
May 05, 2020 at 07:04
It seems you did not read the article in the OP. It depends what you are teaching. The crucial point is that the person doing the job sees that it is ...
May 05, 2020 at 04:58
Just to be clear... It was suggested that every event has a cause. I have two counters to this. The first is that particular quantum events do not hav...

What about Humdinger's cat?
May 05, 2020 at 04:41
You lost me. Not following how what you said relates to the bit you quoted.
May 05, 2020 at 04:38
Handsome.

Lennon's hat is way cooler.
May 05, 2020 at 00:47
Well, here's a misfire; you were talking about my man: And my "No!" was directed at the supposition that he was afraid of death, and hence went quietl...
May 04, 2020 at 23:56
Like Covid 19?
May 04, 2020 at 23:52
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBUFV2c_vcU I used to have a hat like that...
May 04, 2020 at 23:48
People keep assuming this. Bloody Descartes' fault.
May 04, 2020 at 23:41
Have you evidence for this?
May 04, 2020 at 23:40
That ten-minute period between waking up and first coffee is indeed a period of partial consciousness. The confusion that ensues if one finds that he ...
May 04, 2020 at 23:37
Yep.
May 04, 2020 at 23:35
Well, I haven't done it yet. So that's not all that surprising. I don't know what my lunch will be like, either.
May 04, 2020 at 23:34
A true mystic would know what @"jgill" wants to know.
May 04, 2020 at 23:32
A funeral, sometimes. A cremation, perhaps. In any case, you will no longer post here. So yes, we do know what happens after you die.
May 04, 2020 at 23:18
I have; and I've already made my contribution.
May 04, 2020 at 23:13
See edit. Better?
May 04, 2020 at 23:10
No! Some recognised that life will continue after they are gone, and those left behind will have to deal with it.
May 04, 2020 at 22:59
True; but there would be no life.
May 04, 2020 at 22:56
One does what one can.
May 04, 2020 at 22:42
@"jacksonsprat22" Here: Arguments for Panpsychism Pick one.
May 04, 2020 at 22:32
...without death.
May 04, 2020 at 22:28
But folk die quietly. They take themselves off to the hospice so as not to be a nuisance, and drift off overnight. They keep the rage inside, for the ...
May 04, 2020 at 22:24
Yep.
May 04, 2020 at 21:56
The place Panpsychism might have a point is embodied cognition. (THis by way of helping @"jacksonsprat22" towards an argument...)
May 04, 2020 at 21:55
Oh, that's right. But so many folk take that as implying that we don't know anything... Their argument goes something along the lines of... anything w...
May 04, 2020 at 21:50
Yep. So was Socrates. Have you an argument, or are you just going to spend this thread telling us what panpsychism is?
May 04, 2020 at 21:45
? That might be the issue. As in, there's folk as think that philosophy is just making shit up. I don't understand their mentality.
May 04, 2020 at 21:44
It's true, isn' t it? Why add "absolutely"? That's the problem with philosophy, as Wittgenstein pointed out. It takes something nice and straightforwa...
May 04, 2020 at 21:40
Excellent. But better, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUhlRoBL8M
May 04, 2020 at 21:37
Night and day are caused by the earth rotating. It's an objective truth. It's true regardless of where you are, or of what you see. It's the view from...
May 04, 2020 at 21:31
Cool.
May 04, 2020 at 21:29
It's because they let the Christians in, isn't it? New Age shite had to follow. SO now we will be philosophising about The blood of Jesus on the one h...
May 04, 2020 at 21:28
Oh. please do.
May 04, 2020 at 21:25
This is wonderful stuff. How could we not all have seen it before?
