A bit one dimensional. It makes you nothing other than you were before said endeavor, with the exception it can be said you indeed "failed" in the sco...
To put it briefly or vaguely, many concepts you can't have one without the other. They sometimes do more than simply complement or contrast each other...
Nothing slingshots an offbeat cause quite like a good martyr. "He died for this ... so we.. we must live for this!" *hoorahs of the crowd* Nothing tur...
Personally, no. Though I don't see why it would be impossible. The same for the random guy who delivers your mail or perhaps waits your tables. Accord...
Nothing, as it is generally used, often has a context in which it can be contrasted to and therefore defined. Ex: I spent all my life's savings on che...
Many probably view it as more of a thought experiment or mental exercise in logic than a statement of absolute fact. How do I know my keyboard is here...
Political opinion may be subjective but logic- specifically demonstrable real-world examples and statistics or factual data- are not. Care to list a f...
Where caution should be heeded is acknowledging the circumstance or trials in which the failure occurred. Not everyone goes through the exact same thi...
It is best illustrated by the events that unfolded earlier today in the U.S. Capitol. One person, unfortunately, was killed. I would compare these to ...
Neither. It makes you a child. Nothing more, nothing less. Though the window of proper upbringing has come and gone, perhaps you could find solace in ...
Nothing to worry about too much, they'll be many more assuredly. Yeah but that's just subjective. If aliens happen to exist, perhaps numbering in the ...
"Religious" people are as diverse as the day is long, for starters. So let's consider that. However, the common element is that they usually believe t...
I'm sure there are many. Are you able to provide more information? Both general and specific. Details are useful, if you can be sure you recall them a...
In a perfect world, you would not be an idealist but a realist. Not a perfectionist but a pragmatist. And though I admire much of your sentiment as ca...
Who knows. I doubt it's as directed, insidious, or "intelligent" as some may infer from your premise. Though, it is an interesting concept. Since we b...
Perhaps the inner is what defines the purpose of an otherwise inherently purposeless outer. Purposeless with the exception of creating purpose for the...
The obvious counter-argument would be, no not at all. Simply the 'specialist' or 'highly trained' becomes more successful in their ways and means to h...
Of course not. The workers should be allowed to take out their frustrations on society and their intimate partners. That or just let other places who ...
Assuming we're not talking about telepathy, and even still, kind of a disturbing and dystopian topic. I'd say it's a safe bet they didn't have that te...
No, it's not. A person, male or female, who is not under the influence of debilitating substances, who is not physically forced or coerced, and is awa...
What about his assertions of what he believes as significant enough to write about that you yourself determine as "incredibly intelligent and well-rea...
You realize condoning or otherwise satisfying ill-conceived and counterproductive notions, behaviors, and desires is not "processing emotions", right?...
Eh. If this was one of those "funny forums" I'd rate this post 5 stars ironically. Sleepwalking is non intentional. Normal pregnancy outside of .. "co...
While I can't currently access http://www.drugaddict.com/ official forums in order to find a reply of equal merit .. (perhaps they only existed in my ...
Becoming one with light (or in a capable ship) and traveling and its speed through the vaccum of space at 186,000 miles per second. Not quite the same...
This is the childish if not downright animalistic viewpoint one undergoes, experiences, then hopefully sheds like a snake sheds its skin prior to reac...
I don't think philosophy is your thing, guy. To who? The majority who can barely gather en masse without it turning into a mob/riot/fight? You are afr...
It's neither moral nor amoral, intrinsically. It's a means not an end to a means, one that can result in either outcome. I could make a weapon that ca...
No doubt. Meanwhile what I was saying was .. okay let's for a second go back to the OP. At least his stated definition "living causes suffering". Suff...
But that's my point, friend. You may choose not to participate and create a person who you will raise to not only not do that but do everything in the...
In this context a 'law' is a decree or rule that can be enforced. I can say "Hey, everyone in my house has to wear pink socks to get in". Sure, I can ...
What are your views on the trolley problem? I'm sure you know people who actually think enough to consider anti-natalism and it's arguments are the mi...
Haven't read every single reply in this discussion but have the following been addressed or at least touched on?: - Conditional anti-natalism which do...
Reductionism meaning.. if a thing can be simplified, it should? In a way with there being only 10 true digits repeated or otherwise in an 'infinite' n...
While the premise is admirable, the answer is pretty simple. The truths and/or morals we create and appreciate ourselves. Or perhaps even the inherent...
I just think art isn't your thing man. To each their own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one man's trash is another man's treasure, the message...
I imagine it's not a question of who but of what- and no, not like that. Though I do subscribe to the possibility personally. The same thing that woul...
Diseases and plagues come and go, none of which have ever really stopped humanity for long. Perhaps, this pandemic instead shows us the true disease w...
Can you think of something that doesn't exist (and never did) that isn't a derivative of something that exists in the human conscious (dragons, monste...
Assuming the apparent exceptions listed throughout this discussion are included- for some reason. And co-existence is used in the strict context of po...
I find this interesting. A massive 2-ton boulder perched atop a hill may need only the strength of a child to push it over and produce an incredible a...
"Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno" (one for all, and all for one) You care about yourself, right? Wish to survive, live, and thrive? Others wish to do ...
Are we really though? Sure we have more innovation, resources, and know how but, I'd argue, not much has changed internally beyond our surroundings an...
