Is population the worse thing for the environment? I would say plastic is: https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZ...

You have to force them*. Exactly. I have no problem with that. *Many of them.

Honestly, I'm much more optimistic in this approach than trying to get the filthy rich to tone down their lifestyle.

Who says we can't address the problem of overpopulation without making huge sacrifices? There are studies that show that female empowerment results in...

Nice one. I'm not really an ageist. Sorry if I offended any old people on this thread.

There's a biological basis to agism. :cool:

Slack on my part too. I thought @"Banno" would find this interesting. :sweat:

I was mistaken. You’re dismissed.

I found it funny that you wrote country instead of continent. Did you at least get that part?

@"Brett" I’m playing dumb. @"Banno" Apologize for dragging you into this.

Aren’t Wittgensteinians able to sort out confusing language?

Maybe @"Banno" can help you.

It was very wise of you to mention those countries. That’s why I wrote it there. Don’t overthink it. It was dumb on my part.

There’s nothing to get, so don’t worry about it. *Im so random*

Very interesting link (here).

I think its time to close this thread... @"Baden"

Where's @"Banno"? My shift is over now. He needs to take over.

We don't use that word here. I'm serious this time.

That's better! Let me help you: @"Wayfarer"

I thought I could find a quote in an online article. I was wrong. You don't always win in life.

I'm not going through hours of YouTube material just to get a quote. The Rosenberg thing was more of a suggestion than anything. I didn't expect it to...

He's all over YouTube. I saw him in moving naturalism forward, I saw him debate William Lane Craig.

I have no idea how anyone can take Alex Rosenberg seriously. It's impossible to strawman someone who is made of straw. If @"Isaac" want's defend Rosen...

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It's so hard to find quotes from Alex Rosenberg without buying his book. I scoured much of the internet.

Rosenberg is a nihilist (and not just a moral nihilist). Nihilism is the view that there are there are no composite objects (i.e., objects with proper...

I'm going on memory. I'll get back to you if I can find something.

Alex Rosenberg. I remember that he held the view that only quarks and leptons exist.

Quining Qualia So contrary to what seems obvious at first blush, there simply are no qualia at all (Last paragraph). @"Wayfarer" @"Banno" @"Isaac"

Bolton: U.S. should consider ‘very severe measures’ over reports of Russian bounties. I'm thinking of buying his book. :joke:

I get to live in a country with the word's most insane president. Lucky me. :shade:

There are tons of different free philosophy courses online. (link) Edit: Mixed quality, I'm sure. I obviously didn't go through every one of them.

Open Yale Courses Death Edit: I also found this one interesting, but I don't really like his style.

John Searle has 3 lectures on YouTube: UC Berkeley lectures. Edit: I found them very interesting.

:up: :up:

Edit: missed the "recommend" part There's an introduction to philosophy course on Coursera (link) It's starts june 29th and it's free to enroll. Edit:...

This is getting boring... :yawn:

Did they at least pass on their genes? We need their money more than anything else.

Exactly! Why do we have to read these long and painful books when they already read them years ago?!

To read difficult long books and explain them to us in simple terms..

Worse.

A nursing home would be much more humane, but yeah.

I don't know why that is, perhaps they are bots.

Nobody's got the guts. :cool:

The idea was that it prevented distractions in the original thread. Anybody can ask any question about any topic in philosophy in the educational thre...

Oh, well. At least I tried.

I tried making the technical stuff more accessible to everyone in my education philosophy thread, but it seems like a dud. :confused:

They've got life experience and money. That's about it. :lol:
