Yes I imagine. I'm thankful for the small things that do matter but don't societially. Isn't it thus the highest form of petty-pleasure?

I have a whole different definition, wants are a point and needs are a link. Try it out. You point, want, to a part of your mind when you think or you...

If Bill wants to exist again he probably will.

I think the word morality is the centre of a grander concept, which should NOT be touched. Icarus, he who flew too close to the Sun, is a good metapho...

Some people will find meaning in the pleasure and knowledge of life. Do you have meaning as a part of the universe? What are we asking? If a being has...

I would say that learned is correct. We become adults through the world. We are virtuous but this is management. Are you saying it's better to be chil...

Meaning has it's own purpose. It also has other meaning. To depict life as meaningless is a kind of mind nihilism. Is green doing green?

We are trapped in this simulation by the elements, pain is a deep cut in space. Colors are this pain at a sustainable level, converted through matter ...

You want to see someone else so there is powerplay if all you experience is your own simulation required for God's perfect world. Perhaps all it took ...

Yes, think of it like a tesseract. Your heart can get lost in the game. However, it's not as good as the outside, often referred to as the real game. ...

Religion can be good, it should be artistic. It should put hope in the hearts of the hopeless, richness in the hands of the poor. I prefer, not purely...

My ability to create symbols is damaged by the movement that base 4 math is good. Imagine that sound visualization that creates a zig zag - you probab...

I don't understand why if God is omnipotent he MUST create a perfect existence. That forgets the problem of evil - evil happens. Evil ruins good work ...

I believe that good is pro-creative and pro-logical. It is a complex thing. It's not like the judge is empathetic, I believe, he is a law abider. Hell...

What's perceived is consciousness with view of the simulate verse(s). Perception is a data from eye and Let's say, world, and experience from consciou...

I would say all mathematics, non regarding of the basic up, left, right, left, is impartial. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's language holds no beari...

If you were imagining shapes, a finger is a finger number more than a 1 number, it's that simple. Mind is, evalutation as well as observation, of shap...

God is a word we use to point at something which is not God. So the abrahamic God is technically false. The word God is our way of communicating the c...

Bill died. We, Bill's friends and enemies, know that Bill is decomposing, and from our view he's no longer conscious. Proposition 1: The energy that e...

Not really. I dream every other night. Sometimes dreams are strange because what you're doing when awake is wrong... I only get a good dream, regularl...

I agree. Extra-judicial punishments are sometimes bad - the law is not perfect. I believe in the Death Sentence for some people. I have a good questio...

Okay, thanks for your input. May I ask that you read the 'shadow argument' I edited into the original post?
February 15, 2020 at 15:26
I think I'm onto something here... Especially where I mention 'good bias'. The defined word morality has a good bias. The defined word 'morality' is a...

maybe God is this type of species. He is the best species. Maybe it is represented by good energy that contains us and gives us form. However that is ...

Can it be a too difficult process though? Perhaps entropy cannot. Will it all just fade away some day? Is this permenant?
February 13, 2020 at 19:34
Belief in God is like but not a belief in that something that enforces that you exist. I think physical laws enforce their existence. There would also...

we offer people homes from war. We help impovished countries, we aided Japaneze earthquake, etc. You expect us to make a work.
February 13, 2020 at 18:36
Pathetic, there is the most, lots of charity.
February 13, 2020 at 18:30
I think they do more than that but not in the worst areas it is hard to tackle that feat. Society is sub-version of good through stupidity. Why would ...

no need.

Of course they are(sarcasm). As a whole they are detested because they have been better. You would be in a similar position. You never sought peace as...

How do you distinguish other countries any different, literally or ideally?
February 13, 2020 at 18:09
Only if you agree unrestricted humans have free will, to some extent, as some things are beyond our control. You don't choose to dream. It is not tota...
February 13, 2020 at 18:01
Yeah you ought never to discriminate all unless very strange circumstances.
February 13, 2020 at 17:56
You said you suffered. After you die it's the end - you're at peace(which is a lie, nothing is not peaceful it's nothing). You not expect more for you...

Not trying to drop the bomb or anything but... A lot of people are probably going to hell for acts like that. It gets in the way of good. If it makes ...

You'd still hunt for food if you were hungry. You'd still look for a partner if you were lonely. A finite organism already implies morality, you ought...

Everyone's living off some alternative. The world is truly a dark place. To measure society as something good is wrong. We're playing an evil game and...

Is the content of life good enough to justify any pain? Fire death is a risk much lesser than a car crash. Two things here: Life's content; (metaphor,...

God condones of suffering, blah blah, he, thinks it through (an example of odd turn; we've blamed it on one being). The majority think that X action d...

Yeah.

Isn't this based on a dumb-God though? You took a man in a cloud with super powers all the way, and did not even think that God might be a different t...

I think morality requires special treatment. We don't need to define, in words, what beneficent action, judgement and calculation is. It would be bett...
February 12, 2020 at 21:15
I think you're wrong, Metaphysician Undercover. We don't decide what's good, we make an able judgement, at most. What we are judging, surpasses judgem...
February 12, 2020 at 13:19
No. Morality is not based on language use. I can make an able judgement using my eyes, and never speak in a language. It's a hot subject, we may not '...
