I found this on Quora: Why is BLM "committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure"? Because: The origins of black American cu...

Good luck with that. :up:

Now you just have to get the approval of congress.

Seems like you advocate Utalitarianism.

I was thinking more along the lines with restricting the ability of those who wish to call themselves 'baptist', or better yet, 'Christian'. Of course...

I am not sure if I am misusing doubt, and therein lies a deep problem for me. I use doubt to defend my doubting. If someone tells me that my doubting ...

Scientists need to create a non human zombie that can talk! Mystery solved! :party:

This is really interesting. Ask me if I am conscious and I will say, "yes". Ask a zombie if he is conscious and he will either say "no", or not respon...

The skeptical part of my brain says “doubt this”, which is my natural inclination. I’ll ask you if there’s any benefit to suspending doubt? I can’t ev...

I object to that because I believe in the right to murder. :rofl:

Don’t use that word! It’s @"Metaphysician Undercover"’s and it has a technical meaning with unique connotations.

And perhaps one day I’ll muster up the courage to read Kant.

A dip for the wealthy hits a lot harder than a dip for the poor. That's what your statistics don't show you.

From a specific definition of consciousness that I agree with. I have nothing to say about other possible definitions. You're okay.

VS It's nice to see things in perspective. :clap: But from another perspective it seems like the left wants to destroy American artifacts from its lov...

I would get on board with that.

I believe you. :grin:

According to David Hume and a lot of philosophers, the laws of nature are contingent and can change. Can you prove that the laws of physics are the on...

Those are the laws of physics, which do not necessarily mean laws of nature.

Your views seem to be in line. :up:

I couldn't have said it better myself. Is it always achievable though?

Yes; this: I would like to discuss the abstract concepts underlined.

Hmmm... Suicides on wall street aricle doesn't seem to be about the lower class. It might even support your point.

Well if you frame it that way it doesn't seem like a bad idea to support BLM. Politics is way too confusing. I'm out. :smile:

I don't think anyone knows what the OP is about. :vomit: We'll leave it at that. *Cleanup on post 24!*

Much more simpler to say mathematics involves levels of abstraction. :sparkle:

It seems like I might be unintentionally helping @"NOS4A2"'s claim. :scream: Why does BLM need our support if they are well funded?

I'm not going to argue about that. The point was to address the claim that @"NOS4A2" made in which no one needs to support BLM because they are well f...

How Jeb Bush Spent $130 Million Running for President With Nothing to Show for It It's a myth that politics is dictated entirely by money.

As if this information helps you...

On the contrary, mathematicians have a lot to say about randomness. A bunch of patterns. Gotcha.

Money isn't everything. Tell me who spent more and lost? https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/campaign-finance/img/full-hill...

Atheism and the scientific skeptical attitude completely eradicated all of my former beliefs about God or the supernatural. I first picked up atheism ...

What do you call things that do not repeat? And are they out of limits to mathemaicians? My point is that saying mathematics is the study of patterns ...

They say mathematics is the study of patterns. I always wondered what they meant by a 'pattern'.

Thats really interesting. If only @"Brett" put the same amount of thought and effort into his OP as our ancestors put into making tools, perhaps we wo...

Thats interesting because I remember Feynman talking (youtube video) about two methods of math in history, the Greek method and the Babylonian method....

Wasn't sure because it seems like they could have been made independently in different parts of the world.

Therefore what?

I'll answer that. Stone tools could have been made in isolation. It's only when they start sharing and passing down their knowledge, do politics get i...

Its an interesting question where science originated. I think a lot of creativity goes into science, and I wouldn't rule out poetry as an influence.

(Delete)

I don't understand any of those words you just used. :yawn:

You're way more knowledgeable about ancient Greece than I am.

I think he means that is what he thinks of you. *your're so thick, blah, blah, blah*

It was necessary for Greeks to come up with the word politics to describe what was happening in their democratic government.

@"Brett" Never mind @"Banno" What pillars specifically?
