I'd probably bet money "Untitled" was either one of the mods, hypericin, or 180 Proof. Definitely hesitant to guess what story was written by AI. If I...

I didn't vote because I wasn't able to read all 12 stories with absolute focus due to my schedule, etc. I'm sure many who didn't vote (and plenty who ...

Repost author's list as a new thread or include in the OP so it's not all just on some random page? I'm almost certain Dead Baby Shoes was from one of...

In your own words, beliefs, and benefits it has in life it would seem. See, I happen to see your views as wrong, and so I have no disdain or even agit...

Who said I have nothing left to say. No anger, it's just a simple sentence I typed out whilst eating a lemon pepper tuna. I'm either wrong or you are,...
August 13, 2021 at 04:54
Haha I was thinking of correcting that. Replace that with the most counter-productive word to your argument or just omit it entirely. Do not ignore th...
August 13, 2021 at 04:47
So why produce something with zero demand. Where does the demand come from? Of course it is. Because if not, that means you and your entire life choic...
August 13, 2021 at 04:35
So we have corporations making products people don't like, buy, need, or use. And are still in business. Ok. See folks this is what happens when you d...
August 13, 2021 at 04:17
Is it now? Apparently all science and widely perceived progress is based on weakness. Do you still believe all events that we're not born with the kno...

A whirlwind, created by a larger biologic system that is distinct from itself, can however strengthen and prolong it, and in theory, allow it to exist...

Ok, perhaps I have a problem. Perhaps I need guidance. You see I'm coherent. So, be as your name suggests. Guide me, please.
August 13, 2021 at 02:12
Yeah well, until you learn the virtue of disrespecting the boundaries of those who disrespect those of others and solving the problem we'll say, we're...
August 13, 2021 at 02:03
Of course, for something to 'exist' be it physical or even a thought it has to have some properties to it. Without turning this into a dreadful discus...
August 13, 2021 at 00:58
What if, like some suggest, there was a time when nobody was around who could perceive it? If a tree falls in the woods... A time before DNA and plant...
August 12, 2021 at 23:48
They believe in something, be it spirit or flesh. Each have their own rewards and consequences. As to what is eternal or "real" essentially, that's so...

The consumer. Otherwise, in no time at all, you have a bankruptcy, and without a golden parachute, a frantic CEO fleeing to hidden assets in Costa Ric...

What like which app gives the better discount on fast food burgers? lol Reminds me of the ol' switcheroo where one sign says danger and the other says...

I wouldn't feel too grateful at 10k posts the argument is more self-enforced than otherwise. :razz:
August 12, 2021 at 07:03
Anything the mind can comprehend? Is there anything the mind cannot comprehend that is not information? We fall back to the senses. Not seeing any. An...

What do you call children who fail to learn from their parents and decide instead to kill them? Successors. It's literally child's play. Only with rea...
August 12, 2021 at 06:25
10 pages later, we have much talk about many things yet no consensus. As normal, we apply reverse.. not psychology but philosophy. What isn't informat...

I accept the way of old thinking, that the Sun revolves around the Earth and anyone who thinks otherwise is really just a heretical loon and needs to ...

They're religious people. So they say. They understand they're either right or wrong and should accept that including any potential reward or conseque...
August 11, 2021 at 21:24
What if your "knowledge" or ingrained belief is meaningless? Oh wait, apparently it isn't. Logic fail. So, why not build on your own knowledge if it's...

What a birdbrain. Perhaps they were tired of his crap. Which was fine for him, the place was a pigsty anyway.
August 11, 2021 at 18:44
A pig, a horse, and a frog walk in a bar. The frog asks the horse why the long face. The horse replies he's feeling froggy and then bites off one of t...

I really think more people than myself would like there to be more polls regarding contested/popular topics. For example, the 'What is information' to...
August 11, 2021 at 02:28
I read most of this and will continue to read the rest when time or interest allows. I think most people go too deep with anarchy as an established ph...

Why would we wish to do that we wish we to avoid? ignorance is bliss. Would anyone disagree?
August 08, 2021 at 20:37
Mental illness is simply the inability to pull your own weight beyond reasonable circumstance. Which includes pretending to be mentally ill to avoid w...

Ok, so, can we agree that information is "an idea that can be conveyed that may or may not be subject to error"? aka flat out wrong? basically a flat ...

For the laypersons reading which does not exclude myself, let's see if we can simplify things. This is your "account" Your assertion that the definiti...
August 08, 2021 at 01:09
Meanwhile, you remain a prince and a scholar. By putting down someone who by your own assertion is unintelligent. You poor bastard. You better cling t...
August 08, 2021 at 00:49
But does it have to be imagined? Perhaps the person who describes the bottle in the room as blue did in fact see a blue bottle in the room that was su...
August 08, 2021 at 00:47
While the nitty gritty of it all, including all widely-accepted views, have just been eloquently explained in much detail, perhaps one may begin to as...

You will not go away. You shall engage with me and Gregory until we discover a new paradigm in physics and understanding of reality.

Eh just a longtime fan of the old adage that is "when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" See...

What is disinformation? From there you begin to gather what can be called an answer. As relative as it may be. Furthermore, what is the difference bet...

Can a distant whisper barely heard by you contain instructions that may save or take a life?

With talent comes torment, and with mastery, madness.
August 07, 2021 at 21:19
When you convince others to treat good as evil and evil as good, well, therein lies the real problem. For lack of complication, evil defined as a disr...

Yet few will ever truly understand this. Is a lion not the king of the jungle? A whale or shark the king of the ocean? If a tiny one-celled virus deci...

No thanks needed. I wouldn't have felt entitled to comment as I did if I had submitted my own. I know I'm awesome, and don't need a prize to reinforce...
