Skimmed over your post, and you got this right! Only, the universe is not a thing.

Yes, but they do it much more often since they faced less predation in evolution and instead stayed behind nurturing youth meaning not only are they p...

Again, only a person who never read Nietzsche could say such things. We already have a perfect understanding of morality, it's called the will to powe...

Dude, the atheists are believing in something, that's the end of it. Anything else is linguistic trickery from the confused who need to finally, to ge...

Most important quote in this thread. As civilization complexifies and progresses, everyone will continue to get more feminine, too.

But that is the value of kindness and gentleness towards strangers: domination. Hospitality paralyzes emnity in the stranger. A desire to view reality...

I wholeheartedly agree, gregory. Can we really talk about an "empty universe" (an empty everything)? This seems like a contradiction in terms. Can we ...

No, Insane as uncommon mentally. Relative to the everyman, with your definition, they might actually be some of the most sane people to ever exist.

It's just that the actual name, "existentialists", says nothing about what you are trying to convey, because the term is "pseudo-academic", or, more l...

I am talking about the idea of everything, not everything. An idea of everything is not equivalent with everything. An idea of everything is itself na...

Because we cannot talk about or sense the universe in any way, only parts of it. But you just exclaimed that your use of understanding the etymology o...

But you are the center of your universe. You cannot define "I" as extrinsic to "your" mind. It is tautologically true.
April 06, 2020 at 21:21
Every "part" of the universe is nature. I don't see what you'll be getting out of your foray into etymology intellectually besides context, but carry ...

yes, obviously. That is, the average woman thinks differently than the average man. What those differences are, I do not feel like getting into.
April 06, 2020 at 21:12
I don't think you read enough of those "existentialist" (please drop these pseudo-academic misonomers with the actual names of philosophers you are re...

Nature is everything that happens within the universe.
April 06, 2020 at 21:03
I don't see why you need hard evidence to back this up, as it is a rather milquetoast claim. Yes, we have conciousness after we die. It's just that, i...

No, it is not self-defeating, it is just a belief stated in the negative (I believe that this doesn't exist).
April 06, 2020 at 20:57
Insane relative to the everyman, yes.
April 06, 2020 at 20:56
It matters how "rooted" such beliefs are. If you put a gun to the head of enough people the believer loves, they will surely "uproot" such beliefs for...

A brain is not caused to do something by the mind, and the mind is not caused to do something by the brain. The two (brain and mind) exist parallel wi...
April 06, 2020 at 20:48
meaning=purpose, but since things do not have purposes but are given purposes by the individual, purpose=use. So, what sorts of things are useful? Eve...

Reality isn't deterministic, aka we cannot accurately predict the future ever, because of emergence and flux (everything influencing everything else)....

Everyone is racist (judging lifeforms based on their distinct population in a species). There is no choice in the matter: the variation is in the comp...
