Radiation, chemical reactions, and flesh, nails, or hair (whether attached to a living person or not) still get categorized properly? Bodily fluids, i...
Pretty sure words like nowhere/nothing are meant to be used in conjunction with other words of substance or that they have implied wording when used d...
Instead of tossing the lives of tens of millions of Asians to the wind (again) as well as possibly starting WWIII, why don't concerned parties (or "yo...
It's probably been touched on somewhere in this thread no doubt but where does someone who thinks the person or person(s) even if it is the majority o...
Would you be willing to share what they are alongside what they mean to you and what your first guess would be and why? Edit: At the risk of this site...
I'm not intimately familiar with his writings though one of my favorite cousins is. Boy did it mess him up lol. For the rest of us this means.. things...
Dopamine is addictive. Why go through the motions of maintaining a healthy relationship if that's all you're really after. There's many theories and b...
There in fact, is. Anti-matter. Though I've never seen it. Perhaps there must be anti-mind as well? :grin: Really though, depends on how we define the...
How could one justify the existence or purpose of a "Hell" then? I was in a discussion semi-recently that touched on this concept a great deal. I thin...
It wasn't intentional. I do view such ideas as "silly" however it's a very real debate to many, the idea or question rather of what truly defines "con...
One where everyone is told or otherwise believes it's a dystopia, and so constantly seeks and works to achieve one. No time for petty squabbles, strif...
Well, generally speaking one could say, accurately I might add, every benefit science brings also brings a detriment. Sure, we can live longer. Now we...
Generally speaking you shouldn't attempt to murder someone in cold blood just because you don't like the way they look. They have places that can help...
Any obsession inhibits much more than enlightenment I'm sure. As far as material goods in general, more than likely. Why do anything more than you hav...
I think we might be conflating two concepts here as one. An omniscient being would simply know the choices we would make in advance, regardless of whe...
Real is the opposite of what is "fake". So one must first ask, "what is fake?" The answer to that is subjective and based on one's beliefs, experience...
How is there not? Your mind is not on the same level as a hypothetical omniscient being. If there's two paths to take home and someone in traffic infr...
Well thankfully you don't have a third home to worry about otherwise you'd really be reeling. I'm sure you'll be fine. No but really that's the thing....
This I'd so humbly argue is where I'd like you to consider you may be mistaken. Everything is planned, predetermined. According to most religion God h...
That. Or is just goes to show myopic oversights and quick, no-holds-barred, bum-rushed gains don't always constitute "what's best for bottom-line corp...
Doubt it, otherwise we'd all be living in fear, as what is (not asked to 'live in fear' but rather to possess knowledge or 'fear of God'). I look at i...
I guess you could play a video game with all items unlocked, infinite health, ammo, etc. and still find some entertainment value from just going aroun...
You need to be able to suffer or otherwise have the possibility of failure, misfortune, or loss to have any sense of passion or life of purpose. Natur...
Do we really know the objects we do talk about? Sure, basic things like Laws of Motion, chemical reactions (at least, what substances do what when int...
Technically, if there is some other form of 'existence', which we, understandably if not narrowly assign the life we live as what encompasses and cons...
By simply asking the question you answer it. What are we even talking about? Do you know? What are the arguments, what are yours? I understand it's ho...
in Ancient Greece women were not used for sexual pleasure, only procreation. Therefore the only way to enlightenment must be illegal relations with yo...
How could you know? Sure there are indicators but that's all they are. An alleged well-off child could be born with a debilitating defect or have an a...
I guess what people need to ask themselves is would you rather feel something than nothing at all? Would you rather have loved and lost than to have n...
The less people you tick off the safer you'll be generally. If you could live in or visit a city where everyone gets along, where you can safely walk ...
I'm reminded of a blank slate. It can be inscribed with words or pictography of either stunning beauty or resounding degeneracy. Because something can...
The author of the quote in question was from a time when there were just over a billion people in the world. Point being, due to the nature of finite ...
I'm not willing. My point was if you would volunteer yourself to be strapped to a chair or otherwise in a controlled society and I do various things t...
While views on morality can be as diverse as the day is long, I hold that most views can be classified as either hypocritical or non-hypocritical 95% ...
Perhaps. Many schools of thought. Ignorance is bliss. Life is what you make of it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Jesus saves lol. Take you...
I've heard a few less than flattering stories that offer plenty explanation. Do I know if they're true? Nope. Not one to spread propaganda. Though it ...
Not really. Norway population - 5 million (150k sq. mi.) USA population - 350 million (3.8m sq. mi.) That's 70x more in population with only 25x more ...
Difference between a "domestic terrorist" and "foreign combatant" = raising your hand and saying whatever to a 10 second pledge (that really means not...
Not at all. I'm saying if I'm broke and useless (as most violent criminals are) what use do I have. None whatsoever. All I could hope for is given tim...
I dunno man, there's something strategic about freezing cold. Not only with generational knowledge can you learn to not only adapt but be comfortable,...
I didn't mean that, I meant in tandem with again a utopian idea of prison where the person has time, opportunity, and resources to reform, while reali...
