Your defensiveness is clouding your reading comprehension: It has nothing to do with insults. I realize YOU’RE very clearly insulted. But I’ve now tol...
How? It’s either a select few or it’s not. In this forum, I think it’s quite a few people. Most people don’t really question their beliefs. Of those w...
It’s not anti-religious. I’m speaking to those capable of recognizing their own religion as a product of their upbringing. See the quote below. You’re...
To a lot of Hindus it’s an important fact about life. For those who are capable, I think stepping outside one’s upbringing and enculturation and quest...
I never once argued that should be dismissed. I’m arguing we shouldn’t raise one particular story for special treatment on the basis of the sheer chan...
Of course. You’re bound to care more about your own culture. But that’s the point. It’s a bias. If you really believe your culture is special, excepti...
Like I said, it’s really not you. I don’t mean to single you out— there are almost always a number of (in my view) tedious discussions going about one...
Yeah, this just proves you really don’t have a clue about what I was saying. I’ve explained the argument a few times — your defensiveness and “outrage...
It’s an argument against evangelism by being against giving special attention and privilege to the beliefs and stories one happened to be brought up i...
I figured this post would be interpreted as simplistically as possible, so as to fit it in with arguing “Move on from Christianity.” But look again — ...
For pernicious aspects, I’d try my best to educate them — but like any cult, that’s difficult once it’s been ingrained. I can make up a god right now....
“And yet” makes no sense. Also, it’s not anti-religion. But thanks for your always-riveting comments. :yawn: True. I think the social aspect is import...
Instead of derailing your thread, I created another one. But the TL; DR is I think it’s a waste of time. But that’s all I’ll say here. Incidentally, I...
Just saw Oppenheimer. Nolan is representative of the times— the “auteur” of plebs. The entire thing has a cold, engineered quality. It’s also confusin...
:up: Yes. :lol: I like dragon fruit! What’s annoying is how expensive it is. In the past I would have taken umbrage with that — but after seeing it ag...
I've read Being in Time twice through, but certain parts many times. Be happy to talk about it. See this here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussi...
Just for posterity / reference: The major Supreme Court cases of 2022-2023: Students for Fair Admissions v. Havard Affirmative action case. Decided 6-...
True, but it’s so fun to watch! So let’s not spell out the stupidity too much. They’re all plutocratic criminals that get special treatment. That bein...
Yes, true. But because it’s all felt locally, my hope (which is borne out with some polling) is that extreme weather will be connected to climate chan...
Always worth remembering the facts: Trump tried to overthrow a fair election. He continues to lie about it. His lies led to an insurrection. He should...
Half true. What you see and feel in your backyard is also related to the broader global changes. If you're in a draught, or caught in wildfires or a f...
A good source is this article from Science: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn7950#core-collateral-purchase-access There are several pote...
Depends on who you ask. According to the US, Russia shows no interest in negotiating, despite what Putin has publicly stated. Others say the US hasn’t...
The US provocation of this war is clear to anyone willing to look at the record, particularly 2008. Their military support is good for the powerful ar...
A little “shout”: I wish picketers would stop chanting “hey hey, ho ho, ____ has got to go.” Makes me cringe. And I’m in favor of strikes and boycotts...
Anyone with a brain cell knew Trump would claim the election was stolen if he lost. He would have done so in 2016. He did so in Iowa that year when Cr...
Of course they do. Where else do they exist? Thinking does that, yes — it can take you out of paying attention to what you are currently doing or feel...
Who’s doing the interpreting about this life? You. What values, beliefs, conditioning, habits are you bringing to the table before you cast a judgment...
A few people were screaming about a recession on this very thread. Between that and the constant blather about how we’re “printing too much money,” I ...
Thank you. Still, I’ll be pretty disappointed if we don’t get anything. Apparently he’s taking time to rest, according to his wife— and that’s concern...
