But:

Yeah, and that was written before I wrote my deal. I'm not going to argue any more. If you want to ban me, ban me. It doesn't make a big difference to...

Where on earth did you get that information? I haven’t posted a discussion since I wrote that deal.

Ah, a response. Finally. I was beginning to think nobody would take me seriously, like I’m one of those odd invisible kids in school trying to get som...

For me philosophy is something that’s out of reach for me cognitively. Why I spend so much time on this forum is a big mystery to me.

Hume says we use induction because we are compelled to use it by our very nature, and not because there is no other method. The problem with that is, ...

No takers? I guess I was mistaken in thinking people would open up about their personality to online strangers. Oh, well.

I guess an alternative is to do nothing and wait for the uniformity of nature to cease. An interesting tidbit: If you think about it, there's only one...

Gosh, darn it! I'm making too many discussions again. I also got myself addicted again. Here's the deal, if I make another discussion without waiting ...

You mean the habit of the mind to associate two or more things that are constantly conjoined, justifies our belief that they will be constantly conjoi...

My reading of Hume gives me the impression that he denies that there's any kind of justification of induction. What kind of justification do you have ...

I think Hume's point was to show the arbitrariness in our propensity to draw generalization. The words "habit" and "custom" are his words. Why does he...

It's so hard to defend your position when you agree with your opponents.

Are psychiatrists implicitly direct realists? They diagnose only certain people with psychosis because they hear or see things that aren't there. If w...

It probably is better and more accurate.

No fun allowed.

I agree that the WAP alone doesn't help us understand the fine tuning of the universe. However, if we add something to the WAP, it does make sense of ...

I believe that it is coherent. The future you is the past and present you. You are the same person from when you were born to when you die. There isn'...

I'm really grateful that SophistiCat took the time and energy to create this ignore extension. I'm really impressed by what he (or she) created. I jus...

It’s useless to complain. He can’t see your post.

I don't think I can really produce a hard and fast definition, but I'll try anyways. By "will" I mean the power in you to do things. By "free will" I ...

The crucial point that I want to find is about the nature of free will and when it can be taken away. We already know that a person does not have free...

Of course there are addicts who broke free from their addiction where there was choice involved. My question wasn't about heroin addicts generally, it...

I also need to go to sleep. But first I need someone to tell me a story. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/5618/tell-us-a-story/p1

A vampire with the munchies, got it. He's excused.

Make sure to shoot him in the head then.

I wonder what @"S" was doing up at 4:20 in the morning. He should be in jail.

I hope @"S" isn't losing any sleep over your remarks about him. Poor old @"S" needs his sleep.

Are you saying that you can't teach me the ways of the dis? :cry:

Does it teach you the ways of dissing?

Really? What time do they go to sleep?

I think @"S" is sleeping. It's 4:20 in the morning in England.

I already knew that because you love the sight of blood.

What's it called? Sapientism?

Next he'll ask you to write a book with him: The Journey to the Center of Uranus.

Two sentences. Baby steps! :clap:

I agree. When someone is hurting, you want to help them alleviate the pain, not add to it.

:rage: There's a car alarm in my neighborhood that keeps going off the whole night. :rage: https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/49310325.jpg

It worked for my friend. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/281999 I'm not sure if that's what you meant, though. My dad used to guilt ...

That was the context of the quote on suicide not being a harmless act. My point wasn't to guilt trip anybody. My point was to state a fact, that altho...

I don't agree in every case. What about the case where someone wants to die when they're in severe pain, however in the future they will be grateful t...

Nah, I'm just too lazy. I'm a guy. :rofl:

That reminds me of what someone. A former friend of mine once told me that the reason he doesn't commit suicide is because he's afraid of going to hel...

I'm not sure what this has to do with the rest of your post. I guess the third alternative is Kantianism where Kant attempted to bridge the gap betwee...

Gosh, darn it. Why is this site so addictive?

I would classify it as dinner.

Does it come with meatballs? I'll take one of them. :ok:

That's interesting. But death wishes aren't only held by the elderly. I wanted to die since I was eleven years old. (I'm not saying this to make anyon...

I don't think that mere intelligence would decide human worth. It's a value proposition to determine human worth, and that's partly emotional.
