Just kidding. Just thought that'd be funny to someone. Somewhere. :meh: But yes getting notifications of replies to posts I made hours ago when I was ...

Philosophers.
July 01, 2024 at 18:03
I'd gladly challenge that. People want more than they need. Whether or not at the expense of others. And people like things that are detestable. So if...

I truly think there are two widely and generally-held ideological "camps" as far as AN. Perhaps it's an over-simplification or some misaligned underst...
July 01, 2024 at 11:14
This I think will be a major point of contention and source of engagement, both positive and negative, throughout the course of this discussion. That ...

I too found that odd. He did mention a drizzle, possibly for reasons that extend beyond taste. It's healthy, I think? What I find curious is the under...

This remains glaringly and disgusting ignorant. Not toward you, not at all, I promise. But at the neglected possibility (which those ensnared no longe...

And this is the state of man.An artificial impasse. Granted, the individual this (metaphysician undercover) easily could have and perhaps should have ...

I'm sure you're correct in most instances. Of course we have yet to meet or question an actual practicing anti-natalist (not counting the obvious resi...

I find it comical how the powers that be dictate man's material wealth (money) is to be kept at the same place his material identifying documents (Dri...
June 28, 2024 at 14:31
This was never the question or idea of contention. Whether that which is unnecessary, to what degree of volume, is to be involved prior to such an agr...

Surely there are many ways to assist a friend that their current action or belief that will assuredly guide future actions are "lacking", that is to s...
June 28, 2024 at 11:26
And that is understood. Well and good. This is, after all, the only rational non-ill-intended platform of debate or intellectual opposition. Reasonabl...
June 28, 2024 at 11:16
As you understand it, of course. And, make no mistake, I would be among the first to swear your understanding and take of things is valid, but also th...

Clearly not by you. Could've easily included it. So why didn't you? Surely you must believe your interlocutor has a point in his statement other than ...
June 28, 2024 at 10:48
I sense you are displeased. What would you have done differently?
June 28, 2024 at 10:12
Basically what makes the anti-natalist so sure? What specifically do they hold their ground on? Is it, say as if one were a prisoner, who is given the...
June 28, 2024 at 04:22
To further say, there is a war (or framed binary belief or "footing") between so called "anti-natalists." That life, regardless of change or possible ...
June 28, 2024 at 04:15
Let's reframe the mindset here. Not ""against" anything, simply the acknowledgement (belief, rather) that creating human life is more likely to incur ...
June 28, 2024 at 04:07
But isn't it ironic the AN is only able to prevent said suffering, by in fact, making full use and utility of the alleged eventual path (or in their m...
June 28, 2024 at 03:55
But how can you be sure of this? Perhaps any so-called evidence is based on the perfunctory examination of observation, which as a philosopher you sur...

Live debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5pqecWvO58 Best ignore the YT comments. Mindlessness. Let's do a live commentary here. I'm curious as to...

Aren't both candidates fairly old ie. virtually comparable/similar?
June 28, 2024 at 01:55
There's no real question mate. That is to say you have avoided anything of genuine philosophic value completely. This is the standard kindergarten res...

Yet interestingly enough it, finally. encourages you to offer more input to a claim that has been repeatedly confirmed to be "requiring more informati...

Would that be any more horrifying than the average American dinner in the average American household? It's as if we dictate horror by consumption of t...

Yet highly effective as they turn even your own into such of similar nature. You feel the need to neglect reason, virtue itself in condemning your fel...
June 27, 2024 at 01:51
For the same reason you divert any sort of actual thought or sophistication: "It's just what happened bro" Can you prove it? "I don't feel the need to...
June 27, 2024 at 01:48
Does one have non-ideological beliefs? Is that a thing now? You wear double-layer body armor in your words because you know the environment (truth) pr...

I completely credit Hanover's "stellar excellence in an age of mediocrity". No perception of eternal torture could even begin to make me consider wors...

This invigors a deep curiosity in me. Something that does not change, does not exist? How so?

Barbaric. Unforgivably so, I'm afraid. Though, perhaps the restroom was designed with the intention, as restrooms usually are inadvertently the room i...

Interestingly enough, one definition of death is "to exist cease living (in a meaningful way to the majority)" and as such, is the only way many can f...

The problem is people appoint themselves as if they had any true authority or place to think they have the right to "deal with" let alone judge others...

Your humility, nay, sheer uninterruptible nature, pleases and amazes me. Let it be whichever shall best fortify you for the daunting task ahead.
June 24, 2024 at 17:35
I feel you seek your own intellect and intrinsic value as a person where it simply is not found, that is to say has no comparison. There is no intent....

That guy seems just fine. From all that can be rationally discerned from the interaction. Granted we remain ignorant of any backstory or context, mean...

Now what on Earth would possess you to think up such a nefarious activity. Surely your neighbors are well-to-do people. I know I would be, content in ...

Human beings are "of a poor or lesser quality" than a common fruit? Goodness. Your savagery is, as usual, far too much for my delicate sensibilities!
June 23, 2024 at 09:16
Oh, do share anyway. Can't be any worse than @"Baden"'s unnerving and incessant doodling. (just kidding bro) Something about observing and knowing a w...

Are you some sort of arbiter of truth? If not, that's fine and respectable. But of no relation to any sort of absolute value or meaning. Unless you do...

You will note I said views not the current argument brought about by said views. This is the point of contention: "on average." As it stands, your sta...
