I couldn't agree more. After all, who's ideas is the collective promoting? If you have to push your ideas onto another individual, then you're not all...

That's strange that you don't see the autocrat as someone that competed to get to the top of society. Individualism doesn't necessarily include the id...

Communism didn't fail because there was a lack of religion. It failed because of an over-abundance of government control that inhibited individuality ...
May 16, 2021 at 12:38
That isn't true. I see plenty of religious people doing immoral things. The reason is because Big Brother as a god's punishment or consequences for ac...

So who is the designated referee that will send in their own troops to evict people from their homes in an effort to make peace? What I find interesti...
May 15, 2021 at 12:50
Agreed. But what i'm also saying is that this is an example of how the system of higher education is failing us and exacerbates the division and preve...

If religion is the major factor, then there can only be peace without religion. Religion, like politics, is just another way to divide us and see each...

Or free to make something better for themselves. Anyone trying to prevent that isn't a freedom-loving individualist, rather a freedom-is-only-for-me a...

I don't think StreetlightX is person. It's a clearly an internet bot as it never really understands what it's talking about.
May 15, 2021 at 12:23
Yet, Western Europe isn't as racially diverse as Israel or America, so my point stands. As for Israel vs. the Palestinians, Israelis and Arabs are the...

You have to wonder why people risk their lives to come to America and not Australia or France.
May 15, 2021 at 02:43
Maybe you both need to educate yourselves before speaking about things you don't know. According to this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonp...

Not all wrong - half wrong. Freedom and personal liberty for not just one individual, but all individuals. Seems like a pretty simple concept to grasp...

By this definition, the more diverse a country's population, the less racist it is. So China must be the most racist country by a multitude of factors...
May 14, 2021 at 11:52
Ok, so it seems that, at the university level, people are taught that every issue is black and white. That is the problem. In a sense,, that is a form...
May 14, 2021 at 11:41
Matter is information. Better yet, matter is the form information takes. I think the problem lies more in the idea of substances - that matter and min...

This is wrong. The two parties often adopt the positions of the other party when they are in power precisely because they want the win for their party...
May 14, 2021 at 04:06
Nothing, as long your individualism doesn't trample on another's right to be an individual. In this sense, you cease being pro-individualism the momen...
May 14, 2021 at 03:56
I should add that my client and I don't avoid talking about politics because we think differently. We actively seek each others opinion on issues in a...
May 11, 2021 at 12:21
It hasn't always been this way. Within the past couple of decades politics has been infiltrating every aspect of our lives, such as late-night TV, Osc...

Equality of outcome is a lack of diversity. You can't have both equality and diversity. To achieve equality of outcomes, we'd all have to be genetical...
May 10, 2021 at 10:59
Exactly. So it's like asking if one can be actively a-theist. We can. When one observes the negative effects of religion / political affiliations / gr...
May 10, 2021 at 10:49
So the idea to abolish political parties (extremism) is extremist? Perhaps it looks like that to people who fight racism with racism.
May 07, 2021 at 11:17
Without the other numbers, what use would it be to say that there is 1 of something? Again, we're only talking about comparisons when we use math. Its...
April 07, 2021 at 15:53
There were a quantity of chickens before humans were around to count them. What we call that is arbitrary. Aliens could use a different scribble to re...
April 07, 2021 at 15:38
I guess the question is, when is a discovery made - when it is observed in the math, or when it is observed in nature? Either way, it was observed. Bu...
April 07, 2021 at 15:32
The value of what - another number - something mathematical, or feature of some object? 19 = 8.6 or 19 pounds = 8.6 kiolograms? It's not the numbers t...
April 07, 2021 at 15:29
Which part? What does it even mean to be partially true? Doesn't it mean the same as partially false? What does it mean to be true or false? I didn't ...
April 07, 2021 at 15:12
Feelings are things. Ideas are things. Feelings and ideas are a causal part of the world, just like everything else we make statements about. ...which...
April 07, 2021 at 15:09
Yet you failed to do so and don't even realize it. So you weren't making the case for how your faculties of perception are regardless of what I think ...
April 07, 2021 at 14:35
Would it be possible to do meaningful math without the numbers referring to things that are not mathematical? When Farmer Joe counts the chickens in t...
April 07, 2021 at 12:04
How do you know anything except by some sort of observation? How do you know that you know anything? What reasons do you have to believe anything? How...
April 07, 2021 at 11:36
Exactly. That has been my point. Your statements are of no use to anyone else for the same reasons. So why make statements at all? I have only "attack...
April 07, 2021 at 11:30
No it isn't. Natural selection shows us that morality is a social construction.
April 07, 2021 at 11:27
Exactly. If feelings aren't about anything, then your words and your feelings wouldn't matter to anyone except yourself, so what would be the point in...
April 07, 2021 at 11:04
What interest would I have in "all" of your faculties if perception? What use would it be for me if your faculties of perception are not similar to mi...
April 07, 2021 at 10:56
Then you have no justification, or reason, to believe that 2+2=4? Or that you have a pain in your foot? So, you're saying you have faith that 2+2=4 an...
April 07, 2021 at 10:48
Is your post not an example if absolute truth? Are you not telling everyone that reads this that the absolute truth is that there is no absolute truth...
April 06, 2021 at 10:58
If statements are about feelings, then what are feelings about? Are you an anti-realist or solipsist?
April 06, 2021 at 10:54
Natural selection? 99% of all species that have existed are now extinct. We could say the same for every individual that has existed.. Who's to say th...
April 06, 2021 at 10:51
But your faculties of perception are not all faculties of perception. You seem to have a problem with how to use words, or are simply moving the goal ...
April 06, 2021 at 10:48
Does this statement not assert the absolute truth about Relativism? Statements like this defeat themselves. In asserting the truth that there is no tr...
April 05, 2021 at 11:29
I'm talking about what the statements are about. The statements are implied to be about other empirical objects and states-of-affairs, not the persona...
April 05, 2021 at 11:05
Being right. Then your point is that no one ever actually wins?
April 05, 2021 at 10:50
Objective. Again you are asserting a state-of-affairs that exists for ALL, and you are implying that this state-of-affairs is true even if no one know...
April 05, 2021 at 10:48
Where is the number/quantity 19 in relation to the symbol 19?
April 04, 2021 at 13:28
But numbers are just symbols. Where in reality is there a number that the symbol points to? Quantities are always OF something, not something that can...
April 04, 2021 at 13:24
The statement is an objective claim about the ontology of perception and understanding, which is just another way of saying epistemology. Any time you...
April 04, 2021 at 13:04
What do you mean by "right"? Winning something does not make one right. It simply makes one a winner. There is more than one way to win at something -...
