But back to philosophy. We have perspective. I'm assuming you're in your 40s perhaps 50s, no matter. Your "in the end" is limited to your lifetime, er...
Whether it does or not, hypocrisy surely does. As in, any nation, group of people, or even individual has a right to kill, obliterate another if they ...
Unfortunately the kind of independence you ask for would be illegal, fatal, or at least require being dropped off in a fire station baby box. You coul...
The real question is when did understanding, that which we call understanding, perhaps consciousness of existence come into.. coherence? Germs and oth...
How do you exist lol. Like what do you do for a living? Legitimately curious. That is one thing a machine could never offer I suppose. Entertainment. ...
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You put yourself quite 'into it' as it were, just now. More broadly speaking, it is a touchy topic. E...
Can we have a live chat or something? The few I do find are very troubling. That or boring. On occasion both simultaneously though that is rare, at le...
I like to think we're not actually living, that is to say here and now in the way we're told to believe we are, but rather reaching the stage of half-...
Is procreating and willfully bringing a child into this world, a situation rather, in which their outcome is grim to be called murder, manslaughter, o...
No it was like a new theme, kind of grayish or light blue header bar instead of purple, slight gradient effect and the links were "3d"-ish buttons. It...
Not the radius of a circle. Well, actually yes it's just depending on the point you started from (your moment of observation in time) you will eventua...
Um. You realize domesticated cats are exponentially smaller than wild cats, right? That kinda goes along with the whole size thing. A blue whale's bra...
Higher cognitive functioning. That or marking our territory with inks and dyes instead of just urine, though I've seen both. I would say embarrassment...
"Seems" is a weasel word for perception. Which is dependent on several factors that are ultimately irrelevant to higher understanding. A homeless man ...
Does it make sense to recognize your original post as anything but incoherent nonsense? You have to draw a floor and ceiling somewhere when your mind ...
This may very well be the best discussion ever proposed in the history of reality. It will probably be deleted soon. A star has a life cycle that not ...
What is a unique point that "your book" talks about. Is it worthy of an independent discussion? Why not create one. Again, just typing like as if you ...
I can really appreciate this allegory or metaphor, it is a very good one. Of course, isn't science? Language? Life itself for that matter? Where does ...
It is very difficult to convince a large population of people connected by information which includes history and factual information like news as wel...
Maybe they voted for it and therefore were able to reach such an alleged position by again exactly what you said. What is this idea that effort will n...
This reminds me of a good joke in the States. I'm tempted to look it up but basically someone is inquiring about an item to which the person replies "...
Isn't all sensation metaphysical at the end of the day. Does it matter? If it does there will always be someone who can make less sense than you yet c...
Again I ask, will it though. Sometimes the most damaging pain, is that which is not physical and so does not heal with time. Nor can it be detected by...
If you can't first imagine yourself as a slave and then live it, you could never be a king. Nor should you, for the sake of the people you claim as im...
The worst most dehumanizing thing you can do to a person or group of people is outlaw their progression toward your own whilst not just believing (whi...
The only thing I know is that I know nothing. Except what people who are no longer here that I can't ask for an explanation in greater detail say. I k...
Oh look at that I don't have to eat raw meat and sit staring at a blank wall like a box of merchandise in a warehouse until I'm required. Yay! Really ...
You can't be "voluntarily" poor without not only being denied the side of life given to those who are poor non-voluntarily but also being slung the re...
As purposefully inflammatory as this topic may be, it can extend to many thought provoking avenues. Just because "New Age" or let's be honest if I spe...
It would be nice if somebody compiled an ad hoc list of the stories in descending order of brevity so one can read whichever they have the time/are in...
Pretty dark, just bearing in mind the nature and topic is going to automatically be "thrilling" depending on your beliefs, it's.. the ending could hav...
It's a story. I'd watch a live action version of it high. It just could have continued but the only way for it to be interesting would not be politica...
I would have to say, ignoring the (at the risk of being accused of echoing public sentiment) "felt like I was there" story and details, this one is "d...
I'll bite. Who is this "person" who probably pays no attention to this site or anyone here except maybe a few seconds when he's bored a couple times a...
Amazing. Little did we know the person on the other end of the phone... was God! I find reading tedious in general so it's probably for that purpose I...
Pretty good so far but the idea that the protagonist who became interim father of one baby "Windshield" does not come back around for another illegal ...
Your not going to be deleting all the old short stories are you? It might get confusing just adding the new ones unless you can hide/lock the old ones...
I can respect that and see where you're coming from. It's a very popular and very old government mind control tactic. A combination of diffusion and o...
Do you believe everything you've just pondered and written just now is "just pretend" or a child's game? If so, sounds like a personal problem. But wh...
