Religion = way of life. No ethnic or religious group in the past exists today as they did before and vice versa. We're all just random people saying t...

This I believe is the fallacy. The mother tiger offers zebra to the young. It is quite yummy.

What if I don't want to talk about your preconceived notions or idea of reality. No disrespect, I obviously don't know you but, who are you to think y...

I'll agree there's shortsightedness somewhere in this interaction. Meanwhile. What do you mean?

What I get annoyed about is- he's just one out of at least 665 others (or 615 depending on your sources). Nothing would indicate any additional streng...

Surely you mean, religious people? If not, interesting. Kinda odd to just single out a certain dish out of an identical buffet if you ask me. Faith is...

I'm trying to contact the Star People.

A true classic. Would you now? You enjoy life that much? I'd suggest perhaps it's rather favorable circumstance you enjoy more so than anything, which...

Imagine having "some immortality". You'd probably be able to get someone "a little bit pregnant" while you're at it.

What if an ancient race of dolphin monkeys existed and built vast civilizations and interstellar craft capable of exploring the multiverse- took one l...

You'd have to determine whether you mean in its originality as in its formation or what some people consider it to be today. We really would not know ...

Are you actively being the best "you" you can be, actively working towards becoming so, or have done so tirelessly? If not, you should care about bene...

0.67 Encouraging responses is far from post quality. If one posts vague, confusing, easily refutable, or simply provocative things their ratio would b...

Try- meaning full, concerted effort from a professional. Not just some guy saying "yeah sure". Deemed worthy- again, in-depth thought and analysis fro...
September 11, 2020 at 20:02
Nah. It's about respecting the cultures, customs, and social norms (including language) of another person's home. Besides. Those are pretty much just ...
September 11, 2020 at 02:11
I'd tell you OP but I wouldn't know how to prove it. :grin: Eh. Reliable (enough) verification typically by means of evidence. Right? The first reply ...
September 10, 2020 at 20:12
Am reading it now mate. Don't think I'm trying to knock it either just to do so or because I think everything modern is garbage. Just, you're clearly ...

Can someone summarize any new/relevant ideas presented in a sensical fashion without avoiding any potential admittance they have no idea what they rea...
September 08, 2020 at 23:21
So, nurture vs. nature. All of a sudden I just feel all world suffering and poverty fading into oblivion due to this revelation... if only we thought ...
September 08, 2020 at 23:07
Yeah so does the lowliest person asking how you're doing. If you're responding on a basis of betterment of the human condition. Well maybe it does dud...
September 08, 2020 at 23:02
Well, do your best. Describe the first stage then the next. From your perspective. Neat thing is your interpretation may be completely independent of ...

Would it be possible to add a short summary in the form of bullet points? Oh, that's right. Yes. It is. Could you please do so? Thanks!
September 08, 2020 at 21:39
The trick is to not be so interesting. Works every time. I don't mean that in an elitist way either. Some people just don't like what you have to say,...
September 08, 2020 at 17:51
Well we're being a bit one-dimensional at this point. You know what a chair is. "A piece of furniture typically designed for seating a single individu...

What is an object? Beyond physical and nonphysical (ie. a literary plot device), an object generally has a purpose or function. Which is usually eithe...

At the behest of people. If I have a corporation that doesn't sell or do anything- why would you give me money? You wouldn't. It'd cease to exist. It'...

It's still just a program that follows code, whether it "decides" what actions to partake in or not it's still a one-dimensional, split-second calcula...

Jeez. So there was no point in living other than selfishness. Sorry for other people who bring them joy. Same thing. Meanwhile plenty of other people ...
September 06, 2020 at 20:57
I imagine you start listening to online posters who think they know what happens after you die- who for some reason reject the idea of other's version...
September 06, 2020 at 18:21
Very interesting premises here. The beauty in life is all you see, yet you don't seem to have any explicit attachment to it. I gather you've had a rat...
September 06, 2020 at 13:19
Interestingly enough the Bible seems to make proving it impossible. Not a mystery with a bit of thought but interesting nonetheless. Passages such as ...

I think what people are forgetting is that many people are basically "passable" for the other gender in the right clothes/or with makeup/or other fact...
September 05, 2020 at 17:20
Sure. Now living to fight another day or to reach a position where you can actually do something about it is far from ignoring anything. It's really t...

Well... I don't want to disagree at all but under a logical, philosophical lens... just because something should be doesn't automatically mean it does...
September 01, 2020 at 11:58
Well hold up now. There's God (Lord, rather) mentioned. And you know what that means. If there wasn't normal sexual reproduction the 2 million U.S. po...

Video in OP, yes.
September 01, 2020 at 09:42
Now I didn't watch the video, feel free or rather please expand on the relevant points of it. But, from what I'm interpreting, this is largely what I ...
September 01, 2020 at 09:15
I see what you did there. :D Anyhow, my understanding of the whole topic would rightfully be called either non-proof or circular logic of the same eff...
September 01, 2020 at 05:08
It's called a divergence from your preconceived notions. Earth shattering, I know. To be fair, you're in the majority there. If I'm say I don't know h...

A better example would be a promissory note assigning a fixed amount ($100) worth from one person to another. If it's molecularly similar there's no d...

The intended purpose aside, there are many ways this can be abused. Signatures can be forged all the time. Normally this is no problem. Even if incapa...
