Yeah, but there is a problem with that, in that the x-men are almost exclusively white dudes, I don't see it being held up by oppressed minorities as ...

No, not really. I pretty much modelled myself after the most perfect fictional character I know of. I heard this idea watching a TED talk, so I though...

Damn... I didn't see you beat me to it...

You're missing the point, I suggested that heroes should be portrayed as more average people, because being super special awesome isn't, and most othe...

Just look at the politics of the show. The X-men have to fight for equality and acceptance, but pretty much every single villain views themselves as t...

If people aren't morally blamable for their actions, because everything is predetermined, then people also cannot be blamed for morally blaming them -...

Clearly only all of the money will do. Unless I have infinite money, no amount is good enough.

Yup, lots of character building going on.

I don't think that you'll find many that think that eating meat is very big of a moral issue, and still continue to do it. There's also distance betwe...

I will try to explain. I think that they make people look shitty by comparison, thus the misanthropy. No one is as good as Jesus, as smart as Einstein...

Really? I didn't say superman, Goku, captain planet, Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Einstein, Kant, or people like that, but I thought that I was pretty descr...

In the Meno dialogue, Socrates asks for a definition of righteousness from Meno, whom suggests that a righteous person is someone that always chooses ...

One of the biggest issues in the modern world, and problems for sustainability, and quality of life is population density. Many great philanthropists ...

Here's a good TED talk that seems relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiM5a-vaNkg

Don't try to tie your fetish into every single topic, have some range.

I mean more than normal people are the real heroes, and if we want to inspire heroism, and courageous action then we need to change the way we view he...

Give some examples and I might be more prone to agree

I'm a vegan, but I don't think that we are here to save the world. Either through shepherding the ignorant miserable masses of people, or animals. Mos...

Lol, but I'm special, and uniquely immune to such influences.

Just think guys, if you made babies you could teach them your bullshit, and they'd probably believe you because they wouldn't know any better! :D

Lol, no... I find your borderline deification of the rich absurd, and precisely the opposite of the truth. Wealth and power is what insulates one from...

But aren't you saying that they are in fact immune, and progenitors of the value systems and narratives in which they isolate and proliferate, rather ...

The greatest downside I think to being too powerful, too attractive, or too famous is that you can say goodbye to ever hearing the truth again. The mo...

The problem with a mythical elite pulling all of the stings, and having such a wide influence on the unwashed masses is that these supposed elite didn...

Crazy's watch movies too, identify with movie crazies, and emulate them. If it wasn't for watching one movie, and emulating their actions, they've hav...

I can't relate to any of that. My job is roofing, and people often tell me I'm crazy for the recklessness of what I do. Maybe I will fall off someday,...

It wasn't a concern for it occurring as much as a justification for ignoring it when it does. I read you as suggesting that when the majority voted fo...

[Generalized label: Anarchist Form of government: Piles of smoldering ash and rubble. Form of economy: Production, services, barter, trade. Abortion: ...

Yes, I would tell you that. Some people are assholes, and often about the very same issues, from entirely different foundations. One wishes to simplif...

In a unless, like metaphysical sense perhaps, but it doesn't talk about the real causes. It is in a strained sense true to say that my parents meeting...

You're just using "cause" in a strained way. Like saying the big bang is the cause of suffering.

Oh, I see, now that you've asserted it over and over again, it's becoming clearer.

No one says "I wish I was never born" because they just can't get over how horrible birth was, but because of this thing that is now happening that th...

No, one doesn't suffer because of being born, it isn't possible to suffer without being born, and it may not be possible to be born and not suffer -- ...

Speaking of terrible news no one seems to be talking about, you know that a transgender person is murdered in the world, one every about 27 hours? Alm...

People don't suffer by virtue of being born, and there certainly are circumstances and environments which cause excessive, enduring suffering which ne...

No, as I said, it's merely a matter of probability. If a more significant number of people bemoaned their existence all the time, and not just occasio...

You're so spoiled... back in the day, bread was already cooked, they didn't need a fancy future second cooking.

Mediocrity is statistic, really. If it's average to own a private jet, an eighty room house and eat the greatest delicacies in the world, then that's ...

I don't see the point in international green house gas reduction initiatives, the only nations that actually need to be on there are the US and China,...

I can't always be around to make everyone's day. :D

Fun, even though pointless, isn't it?

I think that the global warming thing isn't substantial, it's only about political allegiances. No matter who's in power, it doesn't stop people from ...

Isn't the defining distinction between mob rule, and democracy the protection of the minority from the majority? In a democracy, the majority can't ju...

You got me with the middle east thing. I forgot how selective I am about that. As I matter of course I always tell people that I don't believe pretty ...

It may be, but pointing that out over and over again gets old fast, and doesn't add anything to the conversation.

No man... not agreeing with something isn't the same thing as failing to grasp it, this is just the conceit that you keep asserting to explain away di...

I also mocked your telling me all about how you just see things that I don't, like the cave analogy for the like fourth time. What's the use of saying...
