Bartricks moronic philosopher.
May 01, 2022 at 16:27
My philosophy is to not analyze things to death.
April 30, 2022 at 01:26
No. The perception of past events has some component that reaches across time and space and can and does influence past events. The events themselves ...

You are a space phenomenon. You also have an identity. But really all you are is a phenomenon of space. Objectively speaking. This all is just some we...

To speak of time is to speak of the soul. Not only is everything animated in it, but it animates everything. It's such a vital part of reality that no...
June 09, 2020 at 04:23
I don't define existence as such. Certainly not something that can be measured by an instrument. The one fundamental reality we can be sure of is that...
June 09, 2020 at 04:06
All I know for sure is that the present, or consciousnesses in the present, can influence consciousnesses in the past. I know, because I've achieved t...

So it should be perfectly obvious to you that nothing that exists transitions into a state of "non-being." You'll be fine.

Zzzzz

There are variables we don't understand which make this discussion pointless. Understand that. We are so tiny we're invisible, pretending to understan...

Depends on the butterfly. I don't think all butterflies change the course of history. Pick the right one, though...
May 30, 2020 at 00:50
I just think that science can be reckless with its authority. Every day there's a new scientific study that dazzles your average layman, and with a li...

Because notoriety means you're intelligent.
May 25, 2020 at 18:18
I don't see what the big deal about rocks being conscious is. They are a cohesive whole which must distinguish itself from everything else. Of course ...
May 24, 2020 at 15:26
It isn't a black and white matter. People can relax. They choose not to, because they're horse's asses. The individual suffers for other people's vani...

"His own good" LOL
May 23, 2020 at 13:26
The greater good revolves around the good of the individual, though the state would prefer you believe otherwise. So long as you're not dead and still...

Nevermind, my post is all kinds of fucked up. Suffice it to say, even given climate change... Well, people are gonna have to be boisterous about Joe. ...
May 22, 2020 at 17:56
Bryant enough that I'll vote Joe. But it's so, so begrudgingly. That I doubt I'll bring myself to do i
May 22, 2020 at 17:48
Yes, maybe the climate is impo
May 22, 2020 at 17:46
I don't exist. I just formanimbulcate.
May 22, 2020 at 08:40
You're all fucked.
May 22, 2020 at 01:07
Both paths lead to dystopia of different varieties. Most people can't see that. As for the ones who do, what is the point in choosing one over the oth...
May 21, 2020 at 12:29
How much does an effective mask cost? Forty dollars? Sorry, we're not all rich.
May 21, 2020 at 11:57
I really don't know.
May 20, 2020 at 22:25
Prove it.
May 20, 2020 at 14:01
Conversely, maybe meaningful synchronicity is a real thing. And where will we be if we never realize this, and always attribute uncanny coincidences t...
May 20, 2020 at 10:35
So the past "present" is still the present? Because I know/knew the so-called past to be the present with utter certainty, whereas I know nothing of t...
May 20, 2020 at 10:31
Sure there are leftovers, but that doesn't mean bert1 is Sammy Hagar.
May 19, 2020 at 20:32
How can you be objective about anything if you don't know what anything is? And we lack the perspective to know what anything truly is. We know there ...
May 19, 2020 at 19:08
If bert1 were someone else, he wouldn't be bert1. That's why.
May 19, 2020 at 19:03
We aren't just our brains. We're our entire bodies. Where we end and where reality begins is up for debate. At a certain distance, the eyes and the li...
May 19, 2020 at 19:00
If it's all the same, whether we live or die, why choose death. In such an instance, life and death are too similarly worthless to choose one over the...
May 19, 2020 at 18:54
Our souls occupy a space where everything is localized. We only appear to have separation in time and space. In fact you are already in the dimension ...
May 19, 2020 at 18:43
Most people just don't want to consider big perspectives. Which is a blessing and a curse. You know, in the old days, you'd have a thirty minute Prime...
May 19, 2020 at 18:40
This may sound weird, but the television often speaks my mind. I've noticed it enough to where it makes me feel awkward and paranoid. The only time so...
May 19, 2020 at 18:32
I find philosophy much more fun than art, except when people are complete dicks about it. Most people don't realize, but art isn't just free, unfetter...
May 19, 2020 at 13:57
I understand the question. I'm not sure why you think it's even possible to be someone else.
May 19, 2020 at 12:17
And you honestly expect an answer?
May 19, 2020 at 12:15
Experience. I was raised by a narcissist, and I know for a fact that dispositions are inherent from birth. A baby has a disposition, and it has little...
May 19, 2020 at 11:37
If you're trying to suggest that all identities are identical aside from being in different locales inhabiting different bodies, you're sorely mistake...
May 19, 2020 at 11:10
It really hasn't, though.
May 19, 2020 at 10:30
You're all honestly confused about why you don't identify as other people...?
May 18, 2020 at 23:28
Clearly you aren't just your brain. You have an entire body.
May 18, 2020 at 14:07
There is no explanation for identity. It is what it is. It's entirely personal. It isn't a matter of experience. The identity comes first and chooses ...
May 18, 2020 at 12:46
I'll go ahead and be "reprehensible." It's the fact that you think it's your right to judge that keeps me on the sidelines. You all think you're the j...
May 18, 2020 at 12:42
I don't trust Biden as far as I can throw him. I know he really serves the money. Great that you want Trump gone. There may be a whole lot of people j...
May 14, 2020 at 21:56
The only thing to blame if Trump is reelected is the superficiality, stupidity, childishness, and greed of Democrats. There were good candidates in 20...
May 14, 2020 at 12:42
My principles? I refuse to be affiliated with a rapist in any way. I'm not going to celebrate a rapist. It's not a vote for Trump. It's this society t...
May 14, 2020 at 01:27
I can't vote for a rapist. I'll be sitting this one out.
