If God is the fundamental basis of all things, then God would be, if it's not a misuse of terms, a sort of "supreme axiom." Axioms can't be proven or ...

Isn't it impossible to prove a negative? Not only that, isn't it impossible to define a negative? (Other than to say what it is not?) Is not "freedom'...

Who are you and what do you want? I ask myself these questions and get frustrated. How do you currently answer these questions or is that not the poin...

Lol you have misinterpreted my intentions again. I don't want to dismiss your thread. I like the topic.

Actually I doubt it's done on purpose, so I think that covers all your questions.

I think it's a play on "Deepak" and "deep"

I meant that a lot of what goes on in philosophy here might be using words or concepts out of context to generate pseudo-profound questions or answers...

Hmm, so goal here is mostly to generate "deepities"? "A deepity, as Dennett characterizes it, is a sentence or other utterance that has more than one ...

You yourself are saying science(knowledge) is seperate from philosophy (wisdom). Without philosophy means without love of wisdom... Anything not guide...

Whatever though, I'm a native English speaker, late 30s, high school drop out with an Associates degree in psychology. I haven't looked that deep into...

I am mainly asking what is the mission of science, specifically the Why, if it has a Why. I only claimed that an institution needs a valid reason to e...

I don't think so. It seems to me like you don't want scientists to bear any responsibility for being unwise and irresponsible. You said science is the...

You're not responding. Could be we are on different pages. I have one last question: modern science doesn't investigate meaning and value? Is the inst...

Language is symbolic, metaphoric, adding a degree of sort of poetry or art, that is not innate to the experience? In some sense, doesn't language "cre...

Nick, don't all knowledge fields use methodologies in an attempt to reliably arrive at the truth of whatever the field has an aim at knowing or unders...

Nick isn't having a conversation. He is running a PR campaign.

The more accessible evidence is to others, the more valuable it will be to others. What I meant was that evidence doesn't necessarily have to be acces...

Either materialism or idealism is the reality of things. If idealism is how it is, then God, in the Brahman sense rather than in the pantheon sense, i...

I'm done unless you want to offer a deductive answer to my question I asked a deductive question, and you offered an inductive justification. No amoun...

Why does the evidence have to be accessible to everyone? And how could we possibly know if something is accessible to everyone? Who is everyone? Befor...

Also, is possible to apply a science to the subjective. Eg some claim that there is a science to some therapies or self actualization techniques like ...

What does objective truth mean? Is this a scientific term? What is the difference between objective and absolute? Can objective truth be wrong?

You are shifting goal posts. Science is said to be objective because it is sufficiently rigorous, with experiments and peer review. I don't see good e...

Peer review could work only if the peers are honest, objective, and of diverse capacities. I have not seen evidence that there is sufficient rigour in...

How come science and philosophy aren't used together(except minimally) as a single philosophic-scientific method? It seems like a divide and conquer t...

I don't disagree with you that much. However, I view science as entirely creative, like any other field with the goal of discovery or novelty. Rules d...

Philosophy begins with the abstract and moves toward the concrete. "Here is the question, now what is the answer?" Science begins with (what it consid...

I believe infinity leads to absurdity

I don't think there is a justified reason to think this.

Just sharing what I got from the OP, as your posts suggested you couldn't find a point or question from the OP. Maybe state what specifically kind of ...

People try to make sense of chaos by telling stories. Whether scientist, philosopher, or priest. Whichever narrative you adhere to, isn't there bound ...

If someone misses the forrest for the trees, they are off the mark, as I see it. Maybe not wrong to the letter, but wrong in spirit. I'd rather be rig...

You're being excessively "logical". When logic goes beyond common sense, it becomes trivial

Ok not everyone is a thinker. All birds have wings, but not all birds are flyers.

For me the heart of philosophy is, "How ought I to live"? Going deep into things I'd say is part of the equation. But deep diving into philosophical w...

Basically you are summarising epistemology. How do we know? Goodnight.

What are these questions about? I'm not getting the picture of where you are. Does not accuracy look like non-contradiction? That seems like too easy ...

No, but I suspect the probability of their having existed and existing now is high. Consider how much great art and music is probably out there which ...

Our views are quite different. I think the natural state of a human being is philosophical. So, if someone stops seeking after fame and wealth (primar...

Where would the likes of ancient or modern day Stoic philosophers fit into those categories? How much do I have to study and contribute to the Stoic t...

Can a person be a (good) philosopher if they live in isolation from society, not reading philosophy works nor sharing their thoughts? I can't think of...

By this definition the first philosopher (if that is even conceivable?) couldn't have been a (successful) philosopher...

The stoner philosopher. Gets high and asks deep questions. The hobbyist philosopher. Enjoys talking about philosophy. But cares about other things mor...

-Realizing one will inevitably die, and making peace with this fact. What is the worst thing that could happen to someone? -Profound regret at the end...

Information is not knowledge. Noise is not music. A bunch of words is not a story. Blabbering on a stage is not giving a talk. Aesthetics is not art.

Aim to actually succeed at life on the whole, rather than just to succeed at creating an image of success for yourself. Faking success is easy. Achiev...

The only one's who are truly rich are the one's who have escaped birth and death. To be a mere mortal is to be poor indeed.

Thanks sir. Its hard for me to read though. I am impatient to read longwinded explanations. Fair enough good sir

You are right.

I didn't know there was a difference between these words until now. To bet on the safe side I'd say ingest. I don't see what is wrong with the picture...
