It seems to me there are many, much more dramatic, cases of all of that in just about any given time in history, some place or land with a person astu...
Arguably, the two are explicitly linked. Unless you can drop someone, right now, in the middle of a desert or jungle with nothing but say a knife and ...
But, why, perhaps is what Questioner (and to an extent myself, if not for purposes of discussion) may wonder. It seems self-evident, sure. Well, tell ...
I can understand that. It's human nature to take and covet and much worse, that is true. However in this case, "being a team player" is not simple evo...
Because people have collectively spent thousands of years to eradicate that which ails and plagues us ie. "is bad". Through social orders and institut...
But not anything out of your way that would deviate from your pre-planned activities or areas of travel. I hear pickpocketing is the most likely crime...
Wow, that's actually pretty nice. All uniform. Reminds me of a historic empire or the inner city of a kingdom. The cruise ship needs to be a 16th-cent...
How does free will relate to circumstance? If you were born before the advent of technology or perhaps even books, you don't have access to on-demand ...

There ya are, one vote. :up: I probably wouldn't write one, my essay skills have yet to evolve from early grade school (Paragraph 1: Introduction; Par...
Didn't there used to be an "Articles" link at the top of the forum or did I imagine that also? Good idea either way. Pretty sure fdrake would just win...
Neat. Fancy! Mahi-mahi here. I see why they named it twice! (I'm sure it's actually a singular word in some other language, though.) https://i.imgur.c...
So, 3.5 billion or so people of the opposite gender vanished overnight? That's a thinker. I suppose life must carry on, sure. Even if trapped on a des...
It's willful engagement in behavior that is likely to produce an unsafe condition of elevated likelihood for birth defects. "Life is better than no li...
Well that's mighty inconsiderate of those here who might wish to get to know another side of L'éléphant -- a side other than the strictly logical and ...
No, you're right. Just mentioning it as a general observation since some folk like to indulge in such (often casually as a second nature) when it woul...

Go on. How does this make one re-examine our place in the world, one's concept of self and identity, and elementary philosophies of truth and reason? ...
Better. Late night tilapia with potato salad (not pictured) and a can of V8. How's that for balanced? https://i.imgur.com/C0U1jaO.jpeg Glad I rediscov...
Lately, I've been wondering about barrels. Fascinating things, aren't they? Makes you think, what drove a man to construct such a thing? While I suspe...
I dunno, in this day and age it's likely some inmates in solitary confinement are outside longer than many folk. :chin: As for the apparel and comesti...
Apparently, the color blue is known to psychologically/subconsciously suppress appetite, while orange does the opposite and induces hunger. I'm sure s...
Not really philosophy more text-specific analysis, but if it's permitted. Generally, a person can identify as whatever they please. Certainly schools ...
Hi, Fascinating thesis and congratulations on your professional success in higher education, and by the looks of it, life itself. Assuming I live long...
I try to live minimally. For reasons both personal and vocational. It's part of my occupation's "way". Can't preach one thing then practice another. T...

This I think has more relevance than is being gave credit for. Not saying it's fundamentally sound or logical, but during a time where there are at le...
Moreover, how did the American public react when Bill Clinton's affair was uncovered? Some thought he was a national disgrace, a "pig", per se. Others...

Well, show the world how it's done then, champ. If you purport to know what is bad, creating what is therefore "good" should be a cake walk. Let us kn...
There's nothing wrong with writing a story and including captivation/entertainment in your work. It shows how the writer reached his or her conclusion...
Pity. Smart guy. A certain vitriol about him, but, such seems to come standard and be par for the course for any well-traveled intellect on this hecti...
In a democratic society they can be removed. In a structure-less society, there is no process for doing this, at least not one that would last for ver...
Well with all due respect to the benighted scholar (bear with me while I bring up other people again), thousands of years ago the average person had t...
That would be quite awful, yes. I do keep backups but I get your point. I would be sad. Angry, distraught, the works. Thankfully, or regrettably (not ...

Sure, the simpler a life one lives, that is to say the less social affairs one has, the less room for drama or unsolicited burden. Why the choice of t...
I'm afraid I don't follow. The large majority of philosophers do not subscribe to the idea of most if not all of the concepts you mention, so this can...
Also to add, you can make a person or group of people believe anything with the right preconditions. A simple example would be framing a person for mu...

Neat idea. Except for when it wasn't. Not part of my childhood, I'm afraid. Too strict a household. I remember having to play 007 on PS2 in the utmost...
