All this means is anything one can understand has to be understandable per the limitations of one's current knowledge. Sure, a dozen centuries or so a...

Who said reality has to make sense? That is to say, conforms to every single standard and belief (or most pertinently: capacity of such) we hold? :chi...

How so? Couldn't, in theory, an all-powerful being choose to end itself? That line of suggestion seems more like a quasi-profound, grade-school-level ...

Why do you care? What non-logical mindset requires others to publicly declare any and everything they happen to believe to complete strangers, possibl...

This is a great analysis. I've heard the phrase before when two people disagree, one might say "well live your truth." Which is a nice, non-confrontat...

An interesting post I found here was this one where AI seemed to notice a particular poster here's name (ecurB) is a backward spelling of a common fir...

Intelligence? Life? I've been here quite a while and, thus far, I've yet to see anything of the sort. :grin: Jokes aside, it's a fair question. But qu...

While I'm sure you're an esteemed lawyer, the difference in fields places your opinion on par of that of a fast food worker grading a diamond. It's ju...

400-year-old Greenland shark ‘longest-living vertebrate’ "Researchers used radiocarbon dating to determine the ages of 28 of the animals, and estimate...

This seems to be the meat of the issue. I don't see anything in your OP that seems to suggest its validity. In a hypothetical near-infinite Universe (...

I mean, if we're going to delve into the supernatural and metaphysical (the otherwise traditionally non-logical), it's theoretically possible it wasn'...

Care to remedy the confusion, per the unspoken goal and purpose of most philosophies, or merely take pot-shots from a place whose elevation and unders...

Ah, a right and proper renaissance man, then. No such thing as too much of a good thing. The concept of over-seasoning is but an unfortunate side effe...

Strips. In America, we call "chicken strips" "chicken tenders." Don't ask me why. Probably something psychological no doubt. We like to tamper with th...

Next time, try and get the spicy chicken tenders. The closest Popeye's is (unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately?) a bit out of my way so I only get t...

I'll help you out, OP, perhaps in an undesired way. Look at human emotions. Then work backward. Have a nice day. And you're welcome.

Why is this the beginning of the greatest song yet to be written... :chin:

What's up with people completely ignoring blatant logical fallacies in the English language. Rid = to remove. To get "rid" of something. And yet. Bed-...

The problem with anything that becomes the de facto "way to live" is due to the fault of the human species, not the ideology. There was a time when pe...

Again, it's very little to do with me. It's about the venue that people who would introduce such things, things that sure, may be buried deep across m...

I plan to. I suppose it's not much different than a hypothetical scientist who discovered atomic energy privately and realized this could power homes ...

It depends on the level of relationship and whether or not it's your first time seeing or speaking to them since last year.

There's your answer, @"Banno". I think. :wink:

Huh. You're right. That's not a fact one stumbles or just so happens upon willy-nilly now is it...

Did you spy with your little eye a political reference? :smirk:

Why is it "unimaginable" and "indescribable" versus, say, "inimaginable" and "undescribable." Like, who decides these things. Who put them in charge? ...

Nothing will come of it. I'd almost guarantee you. It was literally just a purchase in a fit of emotional rage. I do that often. I'm going to edit the...

I just purchased the domain "psychologyforum.net" (Not to worry it's an entirely different "audience" (though naturally tangential ie. intellectually-...

It is beautiful. Just like you. In all seriousness though, I can't imagine what's so damned funny all the time. You'd think anything, no matter what i...

It's wholly adequate. Clear and concise. I just re-read it now. But allow me to explain why I made my most recent post. This specifically is what I be...

Just to confirm, this is more of a linguistic philosophical inquiry? If so, the specific subject matter chosen seems needlessly "messy" (prone to tang...

A "rulerless paradise", is an existence where either A.) you know all there is to know (ergo, there is nothing new left to ever learn or discover) or ...

Again, it's already been proven multiple times in this thread that the average person is rather dense and highly impressionable. I can make you think ...

Mind games. Why "spells" are historically spoken words. If you tell someone to look out because "they're in danger" they tend to start hyperfocusing o...

If the government shifted the holiday a month before the age of free speech and press, you would say the same thing about the new date. Prove me wrong...

I'll do it. But I can't promise I'm not lying entirely and just want to learn about you.

I suppose instead of implying that senses can and do "lie", it would be better worded as sometimes they don't reveal the full picture but an incomplet...

How can you make that claim? Simply because you have normal senses and grew up in a society that long before you already pointed out the obvious (and ...

Ah, that's right. Haven't heard that brought up in a while, however. Though I can't observe every single thing, naturally. What were the reasons "lead...

I always found it fascinating how people are so frightened of living life alone they have to not only associate, but found their entire identity and s...

I too have this. Not often, at least not recently. But I can recall this vividly. In Society We Trust. That's oddly specific. Was there some sort of o...

What makes a man post on a philosophy forum after a 9 year hiatus of inactivity. I refuse to continue into 2026 without first gaining understanding of...

To be more all-round "resolute." As far as whether that means abandoning vices or simply doubling down on them, fate has yet to decide.

Anyway. Let's get back to what's important. String theory, for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ5dj-Ozwm0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ...

We call that mental walling in the industry. When one so adamantly wishes to avoid something they create a literal library of reasons why it's not rel...

You know, if you really knew for a fact, deep down and for certain, religious people are just silly and wasting their time, a respectable intellect wo...

Jeez, you'd think a normal man would be flattered. And of course I think about you. I don't have a choice. You post here so damn much. :lol: Of course...

This is why I don't think you're a real person sometimes. It clearly says 30k to... every other person on Earth. You're smart but somethings clearly o...

You're up, Europe. Your rope. :halo:
