There being no treasure where the map marks makes it clearly discoverable. All forms. This is the question, are forms entirely reflexive, telling you ...

Two questions arise from this for me. Firstly is deception fully possible. It is possible for something to give false information, without any physica...

My job, as true king, is to shake confidence and prejudice to spur revaluation, and further deliberation. Certainty always returns, but displacing it,...

You can't value the interests of "humanity in general" except in empty abstraction, in real life you only deal with a few at a time. https://www.psych...

Unfortunate that the chakra thread was deleted, not everything that is unintelligible is unintelligent. I was going to say: I have the most trouble wi...

I'm doing research now, more for me, so that I have a clearer cognitive grasp, but I think that my intuition was correct. http://csus.edu/indiv/m/maye...

Oh, shit... hmm... I didn't read it that carefully, he does seem to be suggesting that those reasons make the song unusual... I didn't notice that it ...

There is far too much conflict for compassion to be all that great as a general ethical model. It is of course good to be compassionate, but compassio...

Justice is blind, impartial, cold, like a serpent, Draco (though not Draconian) uninvolved. Doctors aren't supposed to work on people they love, polic...

It's an explanation and not an argument. "Although it is an unusual song" is an assertion, an argument would say "therefore", or "that makes it", or s...

I just don't find those to be very interesting problems, they either play on different tenses, or recursion.

As I said, the Pinocchio one is sourced, and if you're just going to reinvent the rules as they suit you, then it isn't about Pinocchio, nor a dilemma...

Both of those are problems with living your statements. Though I would solve the first with Bill and Ted's excellent adventure rules, where they could...

Well, you can't actually do both. You can say both fine though.
October 16, 2017 at 13:55
This is true in one sense, and false in another. A lot of business is predicated on superfluous, and damaging exchanges, in our deals, I'm getting pro...

I just find that childish, and also in direct contradiction to obligation, and other people's happiness. Since happiness is all that matters, and the ...

Quick, everyone change their vote!
October 15, 2017 at 12:20
I'm not aware of that one, but sounds like it's something I'd like.
October 15, 2017 at 12:16
Yeah, fo-sho, she can magic your skin right off.
October 15, 2017 at 12:15
That witch was pretty cool. I've always liked witches.
October 15, 2017 at 12:14
Everyone does get my awesome and hilarious pun though, right? I need to be sure, rogue scholar.
October 15, 2017 at 12:07
I don't know, and I take pride in not knowing.
October 15, 2017 at 12:06
It's a demand, but I'm wiry. I didn't begin mine, but I'm more like a rogue scholar. :D

Exile? Give me death!

Well, at least I can be confident that you guys are unarmed.

Much more analogous to someone's house. You could say their house, their rules, but painting it in terms of status is inappropriate.
October 15, 2017 at 11:47
Not to be inflammatory, but the relationship between posters and moderation isn't one that is analogous to teachers and students. That's a fairly obno...

Sharing is caring.

My feelings are of two kinds, the sensory, bodily, and the linguistic. I feel pretty good physically, think I might do some exercising soon, haven't d...

About me, eh? There is the coffee table that my laptop is on, and my phone, also the cat. There's a hoodie over there.
October 15, 2017 at 11:18
It can be about me.
October 15, 2017 at 11:15
Your original claim was that everyone wants happiness, and doesn't want unhappiness, without qualification, I only desired to show that this isn't qui...

It's best to just use your senses and figure it out for yourself. It is thusly.
October 15, 2017 at 10:43
Any oversight is too much for me. I'm here because a part of me demands it of me, I don't get to keep everything to myself and remain in peace unfortu...

The point is that too much happiness is a bad thing. Happiness in itself cannot be good. It depends on the consequences, and causes. If eating orphans...

No it isnt that some unhealth states involve happiness, its that excessive happiness itself generates them, and if this itself is possible then happin...

1 is false, mania is excessive happiness, and causes impulsiveness, and reduced quality. Bi-polar is the only mental illness actually correlated with ...

Your agreement doesn't make something sensible, or right. Mine does.

Doesn't anyone else play violent video games, or saw someone shot on tv? The police basically are the only ones that are going to warn you that they h...

I don't think that things are so bleak, and I have faith in truth and reason, and people to recognize them. The greatest danger is simply silence, out...

Why the scare quotes then? I don't grasp the nuance.

It's both. There is an essence of what it means to be human, humane, and you have to chose it.

Better get some specialized knife dodging training. Axe block, compromise your footing, joint lock, double back flip.

Qualifying things as already good or reasonable doesn't immediately gain my confidence. You can say it isn't a slippery slope, but at least where I co...

The lie is that happiness is all that important at all, which is psychologically just extroversion minus neuroticism, or there are plenty of drugs tha...
