I'll start with my favorite. "Did you hear about the cannibal who showed up late to dinner?" He got the cold shoulder.

Okay, see I missed that. You have the blood of what you perceive to be innocents fueling your dogma. I understand that. And apologize. We could talk e...

Whoa! Everyone's here taking friendly potshots at one another, soft jabs to the midsection and you come in with a spiked bat to the face! What is up w...

Far too often philosophers as well as ordinary men fail to ask the right question. Of course it is. So is torturing people in castle dungeons and hang...

Surely. Through valiant and democratic means won through wars, civil and various other action both civilized and not. However. Much like the child who...

Well you don't want it too far from his specialized fields. Of which I do not know but would assume are among those with the least consensus or most d...

You realize literally every person, intelligent and not, said this exact same thing, in complete sincerity and absolute truth, since the beginning of ...

The problem is semantics. We already live in a society. By nature it is a commune and we share and help one another. Problem is, people like the idea ...

This is absolutely amazing. Potentially enough to pull me out of my month long depression. Cannot wait!! :party: I only wish members here do not polit...

Oh my. What a horrible time to have eyes. See, if I was a licensed psychologist, stuff like this is when we would not allow someone to leave the build...
April 18, 2023 at 02:12
So, "the breads gone stale", you would say. You view modern philosophy as akin to a terminally ill patient whose caretakers have long left the buildin...

Oh don't you worry. People hear you're raised from birth to be a trusting, kind, charitable person. And that you basically have to be. And have someth...

See now I kinda think you're just kinda trying to have fun with us right now. So you made an irrelevant statement that I just so happened to have pain...
April 10, 2023 at 22:22
I'll have a crack at it, if you don't mind. Why are there no humanoids running around? Why aren't fish or frogs or what have you currently growing lim...
April 10, 2023 at 09:52
So who does? Who created it? Somebody else?
April 09, 2023 at 21:35
If you're not creator of all things and have the power to destroy all that exists (if you are destroyed) then, no, logic 101 dictates everything "the ...
April 09, 2023 at 20:02
Eh... okay. Seems to philosophically be along the lines of "indicting a ham sandwich" but okay. I suppose questions along the lines of "who gave birth...

It depends. Boredom can be its own Hell. What if you can never come back? It's all subjective. One man's trash is another man's treasure. The hedonic ...

Sometimes it's not always about food, water, shelter. The three requirements of human life. It's about wanting to keep said life, the desire to live i...

The fact it did not say "address" but "cope with" as an emotionally intelligent being would is pretty disturbing. Almost like it wants to be human or ...

An equation is gibberish for those who aren't meant to utilize it's final product. And rightfully so.

There's many kinds of power. Lack of discipline breeds lack of discipline. With enough resources and influence one can title that however one wishes.
