Me: ... You: "SHUT THE FUCK UP DONNY!" I made a bullshit assumption, my apologies. Carry on :)

When I see comments like this; all I think is, "you're no better than what you claim to stand against." In my mind comments like those degrade the per...

Sounds to me you have (at the very least) a touch of "Trump Mania". Remember kids, it's a virtue to disregard or diminish someone if we dont like them...

Well...what you perceive as a lie. In my opinion we both lost.

I didn't mean that, I came back to remove my comment but pointless now. I'm annoyed at something else and I was projecting, sorry for being an ass. I ...

How about instead of trying to sound profound you just say what you mean?

You may call me "IDol" for shorthand. When I describe "faith" I'm illustrating the leaps we take in presuppositions that are built on each other. In o...

I see now you are not one to waste "breath" on. Thank you for stating your character clearly so that we might see your flavor of poison. I could corre...

And you are right in those feelings, for you could be right. Yet also you could be wrong. That's where faith comes in.

Well said :) I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

I can describe your ailment in four words: you are narrow minded. You're right in that we must construct our world around things we know in contrast t...

A tip for free: state your intentions before going down the rabbit hole. Strike one.

You'd be surprised how many GI's died after horrendously creative and drawn out torture sessions implemented by Imperial Japanese. You apparently don'...

There's a Nietzsche quote that I think is parallel to your thought: "I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first...

I don't need to have experienced it, I've anecdotally heard of it experienced. The Buddhist monk that lit himself on fire with gasoline. That event wa...

If it can be forced how? I know that men have forcefully changed other's will through the coercion of pain throughout time. It can be done. But in all...

Well tbh I'm not sure I want to have the same conversation twice. Unless you give me something to work with I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.

So that hinges on the individual willingly giving up their agency. In other words: no you can't force your will on others. So success is dependent on ...

Well I can't force your eyes to see what's in my mind and vice versa. Why don't you give me some direction where the breakdown in communication happen...

Its all about the context of the question asked. "Is existence real" is a legitimate question. Because nobody can prove that to be an absolute truth i...

"The inference rules of deductive logic, including modus ponens, are intrinsically truth-preserving; if the premisses are true, then the conclusion is...

A wise way to live so long as you have stable footing. "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." I have had ...

Could we find some grounding in what your belief structure is? For instance: what distinction are you pointing at when describing "self love" vs "self...

No offense intended when I say this: you seem to be driven more by hubris in contrast to the pursuit of knowledge. If you've articulated your perspect...

Was I convoluted in my reply? I thought y'all had some momentum before I showed up..

"Proof" is a strong word. How about "evidence" instead? It is a interesting question. To expand on that thought: if people are capable of changing the...

"It is well known that there are known unknowns the truth of which is already fixed, but as yet undiscovered. Being (existence) determines truth." I l...

"People tend to act or expect as if it is..." Perceptions can be false as they often are.

Could you elaborate? What aspects in particular?

Has the thought occurred that you ask too much from other's?

You act as if happiness is something that's static. I abstain from happiness now for happiness later. No matter what I had to "suffer" in some way at ...

"What could be so valuable that happiness doesn't matter?" Abstaining from eating all of my food today so as to not starve later. Aka: rationing. That...

"A comparison of what to what?" Exactly :) Pick two things that are different in some regard and set them on the same goal. Whichever achieves it to t...

Seems to me this is multidimensional. First let's start with the presupposition. These are the key terms I picked up on: Knowledge- facts, information...
