Not me. You're safer inside of a mob than outside of it lol. It's probably more about whether or not a person's actions can or should be reduced to go...
You understand this is a philosophy site, yes? Not a place for children, physically or mentally, to scribble on yes? Profanity doesn't convey anything...
Behaviorism = Nurture vs. Nature? (nurture being more relevant- ie. a pitbull will be either as friendly or hostile as you raise it to be) Functionali...
Guy. If you're so right and he's so wrong why do you feel the need to insult and degrade everybody who disagrees with you? It's just toxic dude. You'r...
You want to convince as many people of things you believe will help them/others sure. But unless you're doing so politically/religiously that's not of...
To be fair, homelessness and frigid, subzero cold don't mix together too well. I've heard good things about Finland though. Knew someone from there. C...
So by this understanding or fact, the entire OP is something of an autobiography. How could it not be? Hm? Well... I dunno stop doing that and actuall...
What is ideology but a belief you stand by? Even anti-ideology is an ideology in and of itself. Lol. Is it not? Sure, that's a point I like to make of...
My point is I think you're wrong and you don't. That's it- we're done. Name one thing that's wrong. Dare ya. Someone commits an atrocity toward one gr...
Like what? Solipsism? Lol. I do doubt it completely but technically .. technically .. we don't absolutely know with omniscient certainty that say we'r...
Without politics we have war and bloodshed. Or more of it at least. Without ideology we have emotion run amok coupled with odd, disjointed beliefs bir...
See edit. You big winner, you. The question was can it be defined sans theological background. Nothing more. Perception of justice =/= justice. You're...
Well that's just silly. However, OP, yes. It is possible to define justice as an atheist. Now, is there any reason to abide by it when nobody is looki...
Erm.. I mean I'm the first one to encourage skepticism of mainstream history but.. pretty sure at least most of it happened lol. Kinda graduates past ...
I'd like to state for the record -- deep down -- I'm not intrinsically for or against any one socioeconomic system. Eh. Suppose it's a bit of cowardic...
Hmm... so, in the pursuit of identifying and disproving "fatalistic, all or nothing arguments" as well as "cult-minded-thinking" ... why does one pers...
I do believe there's wisdom in words from the masters- even those I may not particularly agree with. This is hard to refute. Earth elements can make a...
Well now that I'm sure you know neither I suppose we can focus more on the questions in your OP. Which largely are akin to asking "why does one need a...
So esteemed physicists arguing for the idea of universes where everything that can or could have happened did didn't flag your radar. But me saying dr...
Right, I meant it's a front-seat interactive, controlled experience as opposed to a backseat immersive one. Probably goes without saying. Nothing abou...
In general I'd like to request clarification on what it exactly means to "rather be doing" something that you really can't experience in any way shape...
To be fair after sampling a few of his posts I get the impression that English is not his first language. Though snarkiness may be. Which is a tad wor...
Reality in this context is little more than an environment that follows scientific laws. It's about how we- instead of being restricted by these confi...
Reminds me of an earlier thread here about the Trial of Socrates. He was sentenced to death or exile I think. He chose one or the other but made some ...
To the eager child everything is true, until it's not. To the aged skeptic everything is false, until it's not. Both can believe and share mistruths w...
Oh come now, lighten up. Have you seen this guys posts? Dude is a living personification of Johnathon Swift's "A Modest Proposal". It's funny. At leas...
What does wealth have to do with anything? The world is a shifty place no matter your income. Excluding those poor from a result of explicit theft, as...
I'd say the differences between one who lives to avoid death and one who dies to avoid life are infinitesimal at best. Of course, last I checked I was...
Rash judgement has been known to create an environment ripe for mistakes. Take the Alamo, for example. When sorely needed reinforcements arrived in th...
Ontology = pragmatism? = that which can be proven. Metaphysics = that which can not necessarily be proven here. Science = applied ontology/pragmatism?...
Doesn't he? We're still talking about him. Children who have yet to be born will continue to know and learn about him for the foreseeable future. Perh...
Oh God. Not this again. "I only do things to benefit me". Eh. Don't want to seem trolly or hostile but... yeah. Exactly. Don't live life with your han...
Know/knowledge and criterion. We all "know" (right?) what these words mean. But they can hold meanings some support and others think are either overly...
Hi @"TheMadFool" just to simplify a few things for those who haven't been following closely or are otherwise pleasantly dizzy, few questions or statem...
Someone who say I don't know cured cancer or saved a monastery of devout monks from barbarians deserves a place to lay his heroic head. And perhaps hi...
If the opportunity is not present it's simply not present. There's really nothing to go on about. Separate the art from the artist. You don't make the...
Do you mean vocally? Or simple incoherence? If it's incoherent verbally it'd be incoherent mentally. Otherwise you could just write it down. Edit: Thr...
Does anything differentiate what is real from the imagined? How could it... after all, meaning is imaginary. Perhaps you simply meant you consider oth...
The Scientific Method can determine or rather differentiate between what is more likely to be true and what is more likely to be false. Based on curre...
Ignoring the math bit... (I hope you'll forgive me I was never any good at that), Strictly from the I'm going to assume typical method of assessing pa...
Mistakes were made. Same time, I understand how blind faith in something (allegedly, hopefully the right thing) can be non-conducive to philosophical ...
Erm.. how about 'welcome to the forum'? Lol. See this is classic core belief being challenged. Aside from making not only himself but by association l...
We shouldn't go that far now. Here. Watch this. https://youtu.be/77ueTRaYTwg Life isn't perfect or constantly tolerable. And that's precisely why it i...
There are people who can- and you should listen. Based on your premise of there being no evidence of another life, this would be the only time we can....
Done by human action using their free will... somewhere down the line there's some guy doing what he wanted to just because. The guy who created the l...
